Finishing Touches
The details that bring your kitchen together
It is often the finishing touches that make the biggest difference to the overall feel of a kitchen. From handles and end panels to plinths, cornice, pelmets and splashbacks, these details help create a space that feels polished, cohesive and complete. At Kitchen Makeover Group, we help you choose the final elements that bring your new kitchen look together beautifully.
The finishing details that complete the look
A kitchen transformation is about more than doors, drawer fronts and worktops. The smaller design details play a big part in creating a kitchen that feels balanced, well thought through and professionally finished. By updating the features that frame and complete the space, we help you achieve a final result that looks considered from every angle.
Appliance upgrades
Appliances play an important part in how your kitchen looks, feels and functions every day. As part of your kitchen makeover, we can fit new built-in appliances supplied by you, helping to create a space that feels more modern, practical and complete. If you already have a brand or model in mind, we will make sure it is installed with care and works seamlessly with your new kitchen design.
Handles
Small details, big impact
Handles may be one of the smaller elements in your kitchen, but they can have a big effect on the overall style of the room. Whether you prefer something sleek and modern, classic and understated, or more statement-led, the right handles help define the look of your new kitchen and add the perfect finishing touch.
End panels
A cleaner, more seamless finish
End panels help create a more complete and polished look by covering exposed cabinet sides and tying the design together. Whether colour matched to your doors or chosen to complement the wider scheme, they help ensure every visible surface feels part of the final transformation.
Plinths
A neat, finished foundation
Plinths complete the base of your kitchen units, helping to create a clean, fitted look from top to bottom. They also help conceal the space beneath cabinets, giving your kitchen a more seamless appearance while adding to the overall sense of quality and finish.
Cornice and pelmets
The details that frame the space
Cornice and pelmets help bring wall units together and give the kitchen a more complete, tailored appearance. Cornice sits above wall cabinets to create a decorative top finish, while pelmets sit below to provide a neat lower edge and can help conceal under-cabinet lighting. Together, they add structure, style and visual continuity to the room.
Splashbacks
Stylish protection for busy kitchens
Splashbacks are both practical and decorative, helping to protect your walls while adding another layer of style to your kitchen. Whether you want something subtle and understated or a finish that stands out, the right splashback can help tie together your worktops, doors and overall colour scheme.
They are a simple way to add texture, interest and a more considered final look, while also making every day cleaning easier.

What is the difference between cornice and pelmets?
Cornice sits above wall cabinets to create a decorative upper finish, while pelmets sit below wall cabinets to provide a neat lower edge and can help conceal under-cabinet lighting.
Do I need plinths in my kitchen?
Plinths help give your kitchen a more fitted, finished appearance by closing the gap beneath the units.
Can I choose handles to suit my kitchen style?
Yes. We offer handles in a wide range of styles to suit both classic and contemporary kitchens.
Are end panels just decorative?
End panels are an important finishing feature because they help cover exposed cabinet sides and create a more complete, seamless overall look. This can often be the key difference between a simple refresh and a more complete transformation.
Can I add a splashback as part of my kitchen makeover?
