8 Kitchen Design Tips for Singaporean Homeowners

Blog, Design Briefs / By

Kitchens have evolved a lot over the years. Once found in forgotten corners of the house, today’s kitchen design takes it out of obscurity. The challenge for someone who’s looking into kitchen design is largely in creating a more open-faced concept which is part of a dining area or a family room. Or maybe, you’re simply looking to upgrade your worn out kitchen.

There are so many things to consider when designing your kitchen. Our interior designers often ask homeowners these questions before sketching up a proposal: Will your kitchen have an island? Will it be of a modern, traditional or industrial design? What appliances will you need for your new kitchen design? What kind of lighting set up will you prefer?

If you’re struggling to answer these questions, read on for some awesome ideas we have for you.

THE KITCHEN AS THE GREAT ROOM

Whether you are redesigning an existing kitchen or planning a new kitchen in a new home, there are some considerations to keep in mind, such as including in an island or peninsula as part of the space in use. These can connect the kitchen to a dining area or family room, in doing so creating a ‘great room’. A kitchen island or peninsula will allow one to keep in visual and conversational contact with family members or guests in the adjoining family or dining room.

CREATE A KITCHEN CANOPY

To give the kitchen some visible borders without blocking views, create a kitchen canopy. Also a high ceiling in the kitchen can create the perception of spaciousness.

USE THE KITCHEN CABINET COLOUR TO SET THE THE TONE

Kitchen cabinets will likely set the tone for the whole room because of their sheer presence. The choice of wood will influence the overall look of your cabinets. To create a light look, use a light wood such as ash, beech, birch, oak, maple, or chestnut. For medium range, select cherry. To create darker kitchens, choose wood that has some colour to it. Alternatively, laminates offer a great way to add other colours into the space. In this kitchen, grey and white laminates evoke a cool and minimalist look.

PLAN CABINET AND DRAWER ARRANGEMENT FOR YOUR NEW KITCHEN

The kitchen design blueprint should include how your cabinets and drawers will be used, and how much space and storage you will need. Consider how your existing kitchen is organised. Would you like to replicate the current arrangement or are there changes which will help movement and workflow in the kitchen? And if you're starved for space, customised storage solutions can help.

LONG KITCHEN? USE A GALLEY-TYPE KITCHEN DESIGN

The galley-type design is the best in terms of efficiency. With its single aisle and counters on either side, everything is only a side step away!

If you haven't got a long kitchen, be sure to incorporate kitchen work triangles for the most efficient layout.

ILLUMINATE

Kitchen lighting can be an overlooked area of kitchen design. Even if the kitchen has generally good lighting, the counter areas can be somewhat dark. For these inaccessible areas, under-cabinet lighting can help provide more light to work in. By using simple spots or fluorescent lights, a small kitchen can appear larger.

GET FANCY WITH COUNTERTOPS

Granite, marble, and limestone are popular natural materials for use in countertops. Best of all, they come in a variety of colours and finishes!

Here are some other options:

  • Ceramic tile kitchen countertops are versatile and practical. Solid surface countertops provide seamless acrylic faces. Solid surfaces also come in almost limitless colours, patterns, and styles, and are stain and heat resistant.
  • Laminate countertops are more affordable but not built to last.
  • Concrete countertops are known for versatility, as well as strength.
  • Wood countertops are long lasting and easy to clean and repair but the wood will not withstand exposure to water and household chemicals.
  • Stainless steel countertops lack the elegance of granite or tile. These countertops do not absorb stains, but tends to scratch easily.

    • EMBELLISH YOUR BACKSPLASH

    A well-designed backsplash can really dress up a drab, uninspiring kitchen. Kitchen backsplashes are available in so many different styles, colours, and materials. Opt for wood, porcelain, natural stone, glass, stainless steel, and even wallpaper for an eye catching kitchen.
