We’ve been doing some surfing on ID websites and looking at ideas from magazines. So here I am, categorizing them into different sections so that when we meet the interior designer, we have a better idea of what we want.

Let’s start with the layout of the kitchen, my favourite part of the house. I’m in a bit of dilemma whether to go WHITE and let my kitchen be a non-functional aesthetically pleasure space or to put in some thought for its maintenance. Well, we don’t really cook (for now) so our preference is the minimalistic WHITE.

A white kitchen with stainless steel backwall or a white glass backing? Cut out from a magazine.

A L-shape kitchen – a possible layout.

Or a U-shape kitchen. I’m also looking for a space to display the liquor bottles (Chuck’s genes are crying out loud for a space). How about a hanging rack above the countertop, like in the picture?

Or let’s scrap the white. Wood with black tiles – a cosier feel?

I think the kitchen space in this HDB terrace layout is very spacious, we should be able to afford an island (space wise I mean).
