HELP: Small L-shaped kitchen with refuse chute on wall!
Comments (10)Are you saying that cooking next to the chute would gross you out even if its covered? Andd to use it for its intended purpose? In the first picture, it looks like the stove is directly underneath the chute, but I can see in other pics that it is not. I think it is far enough away. If everything is bagged properly, it shouldn't be that bad. You will have to check on local code regarding having the stove next to the window. Code may make your decision for you. People usually just put shorter cabinets above that type of range hood. I would recommend doing so because you need all the storage you can get. The hood--being different from the bank of cabinets--will provide relief to the eye. With cabinets above, it'll still feel balanced. And, as for covering the chute, do you want to cover it and restrict access or do you still need to use it for its intended purpose and just want to camouflage it? To help the room feel pleasant, cheery, and light, I recommend using a glass tile. Even though it's applied to a wall, the translucency still shows and evokes a sense of the adjectives above. I think it would help keep things light. Consider a slightly higher toe-kick underneath the lower cabinets. It helps to create a lighter-footed feeling. You could also consider cabinets that have furniture style feet. for a more open feeling. Your kitchen seems like an ideal room to use modern, lacquered cabinets. I don't know if you like the super-modern look, but I think it could be nice. Maybe just for the uppers. Use a medium-to-light toned wood on the bottom. A limestone floor might be nice. Or you can do wood or laminate. You could go with dark or light. I think it's mostly about preference....See MoreTheme to match floor tiles
Comments (2)I think these floor tiles will work with the woody theme you're going for and the furniture you have! Their natural stone design and cashmere colour would complement wooden furniture. I'm not so sure about the grey wall though. It looks drab and paint job patchy. Could add a pop of colour/wallpaper and make it an accent wall if it fits in your design plan....See Morekitchen cabinet
Comments (2)Hi Sivasankari Suppas, Your designer and you probably have decided what laminates to choose by now as your tiles have been chosen and laid on floor and walls. To go against the grain now would not be advisable as we can clearly see that a solid colour will work now as you have lots of pattern on the wall and floor. We would recommend a solid charcoal colour so it will appear dark (black) but not be solid as we can understand your concern of finger prints and marks when its solid black. We would then suggest a white or light grey colour or the kitchen top. Hope that helps? Do let us know if we could help you with more ideas?...See MoreBTO tiles Floor Finishing Level
Comments (0)I recently got my BTO flat and i’d opted out the HDB Living room and bedroom tiles. We all know that HDB BTO kitchen tiles are not able to opt out. However, I recently found out that if I lay my own tiles for Living Room and Bedroom tiles based on the height/level of my HDB BTO Kitchen tiles, my main door and bedroom doors will not be able to open because door height is longer of about 0.5-1cm and the door bottom will need to be trimmed-off. Is this a defect from HDB Main contractor?...See Moreghesp
