How ONE key change completely transforms couple’s kitchen into a bright coastal space

A woman has shown off her incredible coastal kitchen transformation that instantly made the room feel bigger and brighter. 

Chantelle and her husband Marcus, from Melbourne, decided that their kitchen was too dark and lightened it with a new splashback and complementing features. 

The couple created a white and coastal aesthetic for $750, with two and half packs of tiles in the shade Kit Kat Matt and applied them with white Mapei grout. 

To transform the kitchen they hired a tiler to attach the new white tiles on top of the dark glass as it was too risky to completely remove the old splashback. 

To complement the tiles the couple added a small olive tree to the the bench top, wooden decor pieces, a fruit bowl and utensil holder to the kitchen area.

The homeowners have revealed that the splashback tiles are incredibly easy to clean as they applied enduro shield on top and simply wipe any food mess away.  

The kitchen still features the same bench top, cupboards, handles and stove top which kept the change simple and saved the couple more money.  

Chantelle shared the impressive room transformation to Facebook for thousands to leave reactions about just how good the room looks. 

Hundreds were quick to leave comments thanking her for kitchen inspiration and many were wowed with just how much a colour scheme can change an entire room. 

‘Love it! What a difference one little thing can make,’ a woman wrote. 

‘You have such an eye for fine detailing, gorgeous love it all,’ another wrote. 

‘So gorgeous! Opens up the room completely and is so different to the old kitchen,’ a third wrote.
