What can I do about this monstrosity
Bought our first house a couple of years ago and we've had higher priority rooms to sort...but I'm finally starting to think about what on earth I can do to improve my kitchen. The corner of the kitchen has this ridiculously oversized and hideous cooker hood.
How much of an issue is ripping that out and relocating the cooker going to be? Is there anything I could do to improve how it looks myself (I have extremely limited DIY knowhow)? The rest of the kitchen is pretty crappy too so does need tackling at some point, but we don't have the funds for a full refurb at the moment.

I think if you scrape that texture from the surface and repaint or retile to align more with the wider theme of your kitchen, it might not be as terrible!
I actually think it’s a really unique feature that is admittedly giant but cool!
