Crafting our first BTO home! Japandi and Santorini vibes
Kitchen Transformation – Design & Final 💙
1827
We started with a simple sketch and turned it into a stunning, serene kitchen – all self-designed from scratch! Our vision was inspired by the calming vibes of Santorini, with a palette of soft blue and white to bring a sense of peace and freshness. Swipe to see the journey from design to reality! 
One of the biggest challenges in our design journey was optimizing the kitchen layout. With only about 3 meters in length to work with (excluding the service yard), space was limited. To maximize storage, we decided to incorporate countertops on both sides. Every detail was carefully chosen to create a space that's not just functional but also a joy to spend time in.

Open shelving concept: accurate measurements are essential to ensure proper clearance for cabinet drawers.

Ta-da! We love seeing our design come to life! 🎉 A big thanks to our contractor for helping fine-tune a few measurements to match carpentry standards—though ours were already pretty close! 😊 We also decided to add gold knobs and handle bars at the last minute for a touch of style and practicality (perfect for handling with oily hands!). 
On the right side, near the fridge, we kept it simple with four large drawers for ample storage. 
Here’s the actual look! We went with three top shelves instead of four, as recommended by our contractor, to allow for more spacious storage. From the elegant backsplash to the streamlined cabinets, we couldn’t be happier with how our kitchen turned out! 🌊💙
