Build a Kitchen
As one of the most technical and expensive spaces to build in our home, our kitchen should be designed to look good and meet all of our daily living needs. Thorough research and consideration help us realise our dream kitchen and save cost in the long run. Here are some areas we mustn't overlook in our planning.
Floorplan
Know your kitchen space well to decide on your preferred appliances and layouts.
Furnishings
Further enhance your kitchen with these finishing touches.
- Lighting
- Take note of your kitchen window and lighting placement for a safe yet pleasant kitchen experience.
- Storage
- Plan for sufficient cabinet storage and organise your kitchen utensils according to usage frequency.
