Kitchen

In this page, you will learn how we decide on the counter tops, types of cabinet and accessories, appliances and etc. Below are all the rendered pictures of our kitchen cabinets with the floor tiles, layout of appliances and lightings.





We decided on porcelain tiles with some glaze for ease of cleaning and maintenance. As our design theme is country, we decided on rustic colours and texture. The tile dimension is 30cm by 60cm with a thickness of 1cm. It really feel tough and heavy. I was told that it requires about 200 pcs to cover the area of 360 sqf (kitchen & dining). The gross weight was over 800kg.We choose Sahara Stone because it creates an ambience of a warm country home





Why porcelain tiles?

Because...

  1. Durable
  2. Easy Maintenance
  3. Fire Resistance
  4. Colour Fastness
  5. Wide Choice
  6. Hygenic
  7. Chemical Resistant
  8. Moisture Resistant
  9. Abrasion Resistant

Initially we didn't consider the island, but after adding in the appliances particularly the oven, we realise that it took up some counter top space.We realise we had to have the island top so that we have more table space to work on and thats why the island was added




The lightings we choose flourescent light and sppt lights to highlight the island top and kitchen area. In the rendered picture it really looks good.




The layout of the kitchen is designed following the triangle rule (sink, cooking & refrigerator).Island is added to provide more counter top work space and storage space
