Living in a warm, cosy hdb in Singapore has its advantages, beautiful views, a buzzing city lifestyle, and a treat with an abundance of privacy. However, it also comes with the challenge of sparse places, especially the kitchen. If you’re an aficionado in cooking then it's something to ponder on. But hey who said a small kitchen can't be big on style with a roomy space? So read on to check out the best design tips to make the most of your small kitchen in a jiffy!
Expand Upwards with Wall Storage.
Opting to go for vertical storage solutions is a big game changer when it comes to revamping your small kitchens. Go for open shelves, hanging racks, and tall pantry units attached to the wall to give you a visually clean space on the ground. Meanwhile, keep your most used tools closer to hand with magnetic knife strips or hang them on a pegboard for cutleries or cookware that you use daily.
Lighten Up!
Colours can do wonders when revamping a space. Bright colours open up a room, while monochromatic earthy tones create a visually neat space. For a spacious look, try using various shades of white, pastels, and other soft hues like sandy beige, sage green, or buttermilk yellow. To create a visually bigger and brighter look, use glossy, reflective, high-quality surfaces. For example, you may Incorporate bright marble as a backsplash or light-coloured tiles to amplify the brightness in this compact room.
For a more spacious and balanced look, consider incorporating mirrors strategically in your kitchen. According to Feng Shui mirror placement tips, mirrors can enhance light and create a sense of openness while maintaining harmony in your home’s energy flow.
Practice Double Duty With Multipurpose Furniture.
In a small kitchen, always have versatile pieces of furniture. You can always fold them, tuck them under your kitchen island or keep them out of sight in a swift if it's not in use. Easy multipurpose types of furniture that are a must-have are foldable tables that can be stowed away when not in use, bar stools that slide right under the counter or find a bench that has secret storage space to free up some extra room.
Did you know partitions could turn your gloomy kitchen into a roomy area?
Room partitions are the best investment to transform small kitchens, to maximize floor space without compromising on style. By using glass panel dividers, you create an expansive area with light flowing through but with a sheer amount of privacy from the living area. For a more flexible side, you can opt for sliding doors that let you close off or open up the kitchen as needed.
So why wait and stare into the nooks of your kitchen, when you can have them looking designer-made? Make these changes now, and before you know it, you'll be cooking your favourite meal, hosting family and friends to wine and dine in a modish not-so-little transformed kitchen over the weekend!
