Singapore Houzzers’ favourite kitchen photos from this year offer inspiration for your cook space
What are Singapore homeowners most likely to get for their kitchens in 2017? Measured by the number of Singapore Houzzers who have saved kitchen photos to their Houzz ideabooks in 2016, here’s a trend forecast of what we could be seeing in your cook spaces.
Here, it’s contemporary and luxurious with that touch of marble…
And here bright and airy – a little bit contemporary, a little bit country.
The key to white and wood kitchens is the balance of lightness and the warmth of the wood. It’s strongly influenced by the popularity of Scandinavian-inspired interiors among many Singapore homeowners as well.

2. Eat-in kitchen
With more and more homeowners discovering the joys of cooking and entertaining at home (and particularly because many Singaporeans consider themselves foodies and like to share their culinary know-how), eat-in kitchens are becoming quite sought-after. Could this kitchen-dining combo be the demise of combined living-dining spaces? Definitely a trend to watch!

3. Hideaway features
Top-hung doors close off the prep-and-cook countertop in this kitchen, so that you can conceal the mess you made while cooking, and simply enjoy the dining space in this eat-in kitchen.

4. Cleverly concealed kitchen organisation
Clutter makes a small space look even smaller, so for space-starved kitchens, you’re looking for a well-organised cabinet with a designated place for everything (thus, everything in its place!).

5. Hidden utility storage
Small homes mean less space for the service yard, so ideas for utility storage are in demand. They’re nifty, and disappear into part of the kitchen, so that your cleaning equipment is stored ‘in secret’.

6. More kitchen organisation
This one is for heavy-duty items such as cookware and small appliances. It’s all about sturdy shelves, drawers and hinges for this storage solution. Labels help too!

7. Clever corner cabinets
Solutions for maximising small spaces are always a must-have – and corner cabinets are one of these. This design looks like typical drawers perpendicular to each other, but they’re actually so much more practical and versatile.

8. Shaker style
Probably more popularly known as a generic ‘country’ style, this rustic-yet-minimalist style was developed in the late 1700s by the Shakers (British immigrants to the US). It’s timeless because of its simplicity, and blends well with more contemporary designs.

9. Butler sink
Whether you’re going for a Shaker style kitchen or a French-country-inspired cook space, the butler sink is one that will complete the look. It’s also quite low-maintenance as it’s seamless – you don’t have to worry about grouting to clean where the sink meets the countertop.
