Give encouragement tile color
Ask your landlord if you can paint the kitchen tiles, especially if they are very grotty. Look roof tile paint specialists in a variety of colors at your local DIY store. If the answer is no, consider tile stickers. Mosaic-style stick-on sheet may come cheap, or search for 'temporary tattoo' sticker tile, called as they come as a transfer and adhere to the existing tiles with water only.

Cheer up white goods
white goods generally less than beautiful, and tall fridge-freezer is often the most unsightly. If you are at an event, dress it with the finished board, so the whole family can add a bit of personality. If itself, adjust with chalkboard paint, but if it is your owner, try sticker sheets blackboard or even the wallpaper is removed instead.

It is always worth asking your landlord if you can make certain improvements, especially in the kitchen, which would be expensive to renovate. If space is not too big, just repainting existing cabinets can offer a dramatic transformation. If the unit is solid wood, go for eggshell paint; if they melamine or veneer, the 'hard surface' paint or whitewash (as Annie Sloan) would be the best bet for a slick coverage.

Stick it on a little style
If painting the closet door isn 't possible, it does not mean you can not get to see the colored cabinets. You may associate it with craft projects retro, but the sticky back plastic (Fablon) was fantastic handy. If your cabinet doors are flat, you should be able to just stick the sheet on the door there, ready to peel them off in the future without a trace (always do a patch test on an inconspicuous spot first). Avoid design faux-wood-looking date and stick to block colors.

Bring up
Try to take advantage of every space excessively high near the ceiling. If you are allowed to install them, simple shelf can make the most of wall space exaggerated, and prove a useful place in which to store items that are rarely used, such as the supply of shortbread cookies. Or, just save the redundant bits and bobs on top of the existing wall cabinets, if the ceiling space allows.

Use a cloth as a disguise neat
Is the gap in the running unit or simply a tool unsightly, curtain-style country can act as a disguise for whatever you want to hide, as well as soften the hard lines of the otherwise largely kitchen space. Upcycle old cloth, such as tablecloths, to save buying new.

Freshen up your floor
Think there's no way the kitchen floor could be given a quick fix? You will be pleasantly surprised. A roll of the base vinyl, such as the design of a chessboard, often picked up cheap from the shop floor of a local (especially for a small space where you can get away with offcut) and simply laid over the existing floor, secured only at the edges with tape carpet (checks will not be marking the floor in the corner of striking first)
