Before and after: the kitchen in a Pasir Ris HDB executive maisonette.

Before: chequered floor tiles, a patterned tile border and cabinets that had done their time. After: a kitchen split in two, with a light, glossy white run for storage and a dark stone-look feature wall for the cooking.

Under-cabinet lighting washes the splashback, a power track sits within reach of the hob, and the corner drawers open at an angle so the pots at the back are never lost. A bar counter with upholstered stools links the kitchen to the dining table.

Good kitchens are planned around how you cook, not how they photograph.

Renovation tip: give every room a landing spot.

Keys, phones, chargers and the things you grab on the way out need somewhere to live. If the design does not give them a place, they take over the dining table.

A small open niche in the carpentry, with a socket inside it, solves this by the front door, beside the dining table and next to the bed. Swipe for examples from our HDB projects in Yishun, Ang Mo Kio and Pasir Ris.

The socket is the part people forget. It has to be planned before the carpentry goes in.

HDB kitchen renovation in Woodlands: every appliance has a home, so the counter stays clear.

Cream shaker-profile cabinets run to the ceiling. The microwave sits behind a lift-up door above the built-in oven, and the air fryers and cookers live in an appliance garage that closes when guests arrive. A power track at the coffee corner lets the sockets move to where they are needed.

The gold pot filler over the hob is the detail everyone asks about.

Before you choose a laminate, list every appliance you own. The cabinet plan starts there.

“Shafee was super easy to talk to and really listened to what I wanted and adapted his design to match my particular style.”

That is Nazeem Kadir, in a five-star Google review after renovating with us. The review also mentions being kept updated along the way, and quick answers whenever questions came up.

A renovation is months of decisions. You should enjoy talking to the person making them with you.

An open-plan HDB home in Ang Mo Kio, planned around one long row of windows.

The living and dining areas run along black-framed windows, with built-in storage and a patterned tile inlay that turn the window bay into a reading corner. A dark timber portal frames the space and hides the air-conditioning trunking. The dining side gets its own oak cabinet with a serving niche.

Open layouts look simple. The work is in deciding where everything you own will go, before any work starts.

Kitchen tip: a power track instead of a row of wall sockets.

Appliances change. The air fryer arrives, the coffee machine gets replaced, the rice cooker moves. A power track lets you twist an adapter in anywhere along its length, so the sockets follow the appliances.

We have used one in all four of these HDB homes: on a dining island in Woodlands, at the drinks station in Yishun, on a dark splashback in Pasir Ris and at the coffee corner in Ang Mo Kio.

Two things to settle early: where the track goes, because the wiring is concealed, and what load it is rated for.

Send this to the person who owns the most kitchen appliances in your home.

Light oak, soft arches and a lot of daylight. This is a Japandi HDB home in Yishun.

The entrance sets the tone: a full-height oak foyer cabinet, a scalloped tile threshold and a corridor of louvred windows that floods the home with light. In the living room, vertical oak slats frame the TV wall, and a low console with slatted doors hides the media equipment.

Nothing here is loud. We have seen trends come and go, so we design homes that work for real life.

“Engaging him again was easily one of the best decisions we made.”

Desi Arisandi worked with Shafee on a first home, then came back for the second. Two lines from this five-star Google review that we are especially proud of:

“His quotations are always transparent and detailed, so we never had to worry about hidden costs or unexpected surprises.”

“Though the timeline for our house was two months, he completed everything in just about 1.5 months, without compromising on quality.”

Thank you, Desi, for trusting us twice. Swipe for the full review.

Before and after: an HDB executive maisonette in Pasir Ris. Swipe to see how the living room and staircase started.

The flat came with white floor tiles, plain white walls and a steel staircase railing. We opened up the layout around the staircase, then gave the living room a single feature wall that does three jobs: TV wall, glass-fronted display cabinet, and a lit arched niche with a seat. A curved ceiling recess and brass pendant lights carry the same warm tone through the space.

Dark interiors only work when the lighting is planned first. That is where experience shows.

Would you go light and bright, or dark and moody? Tell us in the comments.
