Minimalist Kitchen Essentials: Making the Most of Small Condo Spaces
1573
For my 3-bedder unit, the semi-enclosed kitchen was definitely a challenge. Working with its existing layout and without any renovation, we are focusing on optimising storage, workflow, and efficiency. Dealing with the constraints of a compact kitchen can be daunting, but we're determined to transform it into an efficient space that makes cooking and meal prep a comfortable experience. 
To the left stands our reliable Samsung refrigerator that provides ample storage for perishables. The fridge is placed conveniently near the rest of the kitchen appliances, contributing to a seamless cooking workflow. The convenient magnetic to-do list and compartments keep us on track and ensure our essential tools are always within reach and organised. 
The top portion of the kitchen is equipped with sleek white cabinets that have a modern, minimalist design. They provide ample storage without overwhelming the space. The neutral colour helps keep the kitchen feeling open and uncluttered. Adding under-cabinet lighting was a thoughtful touch that's made a huge difference. It's not just functional – it's also a warm welcome to our kitchen. 
Everything has its place, from the utensils to the spice containers and the plate organiser. The arrangement is designed for both convenience and style, blending functionality with thoughtful design touches. 
Our countertop is well-utilised with a few kitchen essentials placed in a neat row. There are air fryer, a rice cooker, a blender and Aeroccino3 Milk Frother , all accessible but not overly crowded. The overhead towel holder keeps the surface clear, maintaining a clutter-free workspace. 
The Happie Joy Water Purifier is a lifesaver! No more boiling or clutter! Its sleek and compact design make it ideal for my small kitchen. 
My enclosed kitchen dry goods cabinet is an essential part of keeping my kitchen organised. The cabinet stores all my pantry staples like grains, pasta, and spices, neatly tucked away behind closed doors. 
Inside kitchen cabinets for better visibility, we installed a magnetic sensor LED light strip. One of its standout features is the magnetic sensor that automatically turns the light on when the cabinet door opens and off when it closes. The installation simple and hassle-free without requiring tools or additional wiring. 
My rice storage container is a game changer in my kitchen! The airtight seal keeps my rice fresh for long periods, protecting it from moisture, pests, and dust, so I never have to worry about it spoiling or absorbing unwanted odors. I love how it dispenses rice with just the press of a button, releasing the right amount without any mess or the need to scoop manually. This feature not only makes access quick and easy but also keeps things hygienic and clean. 
I appreciate how my extendable cutlery tray puts everything I need right at my fingertips. No more rummaging through a cluttered drawer or searching for misplaced utensils. I love how it adjusts to fit my drawer perfectly, providing customisable compartments for my forks, knives, spoons, and specialty utensils. Whether I'm cooking for one or hosting a dinner party, this tray keeps my essentials within easy reach, making it an indispensable tool in my kitchen. 
I'm smitten with my Le Creuset Marmite Pot (22cm) in Purist Blue! The sloped sides make stirring a joy, eliminating pesky corners where ingredients get stuck. Loop handles provide peace of mind when moving the pot. This beautiful, functional pot has earned its place as one of my favorite kitchen possessions. 
The Good Maison Essential Cooking Tools set combines modern style with quality materials for efficient and enjoyable meal preparation. For me, quality always wins out over quantity – it's worth investing in tools that truly deliver.
