10 Beautiful And Functional Ideas For Tiny HDB Kitchens

August 19, 2016

With kitchens getting smaller and smaller, many HDB and condominium units now have just a narrow walkway. But even with minimal space, you can maximise comfort and style by making certain design choices that are great for tiny kitchens. Whether it’s playing with the lighting and colour, streamlining your appliances or more, it’s totally possible to create a kitchen that’s sleek, contemporary and completely yours.

Get inspired with these 10 gorgeously renovated HDB kitchens:

10 Beautiful And Functional Ideas For Tiny HDB Kitchens
1. Set the mood
image

Believe it or not but this country-style kitchen in Anchorvale Crescent is actually really tiny – it just has that “huge” impression thanks to mood lighting. Think upwards when it comes to organising in a tiny kitchen.

2. White out
image

One way to make your small kitchen look instantly bigger is to opt for pure white as it really opens up a space. Go for minimal details, like this Fernvale Link homeowner did by pairing white with wood for a Scandinavian, modern feel. Install lightings under your cabinets for a classy feel.

3. Wood works
image

A nice, “warm” theme with wood always works when it comes to stylish kitchens. It adds a homely touch but can also be chic at the same time. Factor in proper space-saving cabinets to keep surfaces clutter-free, just like this apartment in Pasir Ris.

4. Vintage accents
image

Don’t you love the retro feel of this kitchen, especially the polka-dotted mosaic floor? Not only is it stylish but a mosaic floor is easier to clean and prevents slips. A frosted glass panel door makes an enclosed kitchen seem practical and beautiful at the same time.

5. Black magic
image

While white is usually a preferred colour, this Fernvale Link homeowner has gone against the norm with a shiny black subway tiled backsplash. Isn’t it wonderful how it brings out the steel appliances? Also, the gloss and granite factor in this kitchen gives it an uptown feel. A tip: keep your appliances and finishing in the same details for a seamless flow.

6. Tile we meet again
image

We love how this kitchen in Serangoon Crescent has a bar area for quick meals or dinner for two. Take cues and make use of wall space for a bar-style dining that is fun and modern. The Moorish tile floor gives it character too.

7. Parisian elegance
image

At first glance you might think you’ve just stumbled into a kitchen in Paris. But it’s really right in the Singapore heartlands (Punggol, to be exact!). The walls are sheathed in subway tiles, the cabinets are imbued with a sense of modern farmhouse flair.

8. Pop of whimsy
image

The mosaic tiles of this charming kitchen add a whimsical element but otherwise, proper drawers and cabinets help keep things in place and out of sight.

9. Captain Hook
image

This well-designed kitchen has all the space-saving elements you need, like shelves and handy hooks to help get you organised in what can otherwise be chaotic times. Again, white and wood keep the kitchen simple but charming.

10. Streamlined perfection
image

The starkness to this kitchen makes it look ultra-modern and stylish. The backlit wall offers a hotel-chic element that is super cool, whether your kitchen is tiny or huge. Built-in appliances help to further save space.
