covering kitchen cabinet ends - ideas

[chuckalicious]

Hi everyone. I installed my kitchen a couple of years ago and after finishing I realised that I had forgotten to fit the cabinet end covers on where the extractor hood is.

Problem is that the cornicing is the same off white as the doors but the cabinet shells are white, so it doesn't look great. Plus the dream from cooking is beginning to affect the mdf which should be better covered.

I am about to put the house on the market so need a way of covering this up to make it look nicer and more uniform.

Do any of you have any ideas what I could cover it with? The gap between the cabinet and the hood is maybe 1-2mm so Inwas wondering if it was possible to get really thin brushed metal panels or something.

Thanks.

I would not worry about it, buyers won't.

Up close it spoils the look of the kitchen and makes the fitting look ****. Which it sort of is....

Personally I would leave it as it is but you could take one of the doors to a paint supplier or even (Homebase, get them to scan the colour then paint it using a cupboard paint.

I reckon that brushed steel would look too heavy and highlight the fact that there are no end panels
