Stylish & Functional! 10 kitchen decor ideas for HDB
Vintage accents
image

Don’t you love the quaint vintage vibes emitted? Especially from the polka-dotted mosaic tile flooring. Not only is it stylish, but a mosaic floor is easier to clean and prevents slips. A frosted glass panel door for a practical and beautiful addition to the kitchen as well.

Wood works
image

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

Black magic

While white is the preferred colour, this Fernvale Link homeowner went against the norm with a shiny black subway tiled backsplash that brings out the steel appliances stylishly. The gloss and granite factor in this kitchen also gives it a luxe appeal.

Streamlined perfection
image

This ultra-modern and stylish kitchen won’t look out of place in a spaceship. The backlit wall diffuses the space with chic lighting and an impression of airiness. Built-in appliances also help to further save space.

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 fun bar-style area. The Moorish tiled flooring gives it character too.

Chic Parisien
image

At first glance you might think you’ve stumbled into a kitchen in Paris. But its really right in the heartlands of Singapore – Punggol to be exact. The walls are sheathed in subway tiles and the cabinets with silver accents are imbued with a strong sense of modern farmhouse flair.

Pop of whimsy
image

The mosaic tiles of this charming kitchen add a touch of whimsy and is balanced out with the clean wood surfaces of its drawers and cabinets.

Set the mood
image

Believe it or not, this country-style kitchen in Anchorvale Crescent is actually quite small. Thanks to mood lighting, it looks larger than it is. Also, think upwards when it comes to storage and organization in a tiny space and make full use of wall space.

Captain Hook
image

This well-designed kitchen has all the space-saving elements you need – with well-appointed shelves and handy hooks that help you get organised. Again, white and wood keep the kitchen simple but charming. The brass gold accents are worth noting too.

White out
image

One way to make your small kitchen look instantly bigger is to opt for clean white as it really opens up a space. Go for minimal details, like how this Fernvale Link homeowner did by pairing white with wood for a modern Scandinavian design. You can further brighten up the area by installing lights under the cabinets.
