We love how this home uses pendant lighting in the kitchen and a modern chandelier in the dining room. Create the illusion of more space in a small kitchen by painting the cupboards in the same colour as the walls. It creates a light and airy space where the units blend into the kitchen walls.

The glossy shine of modern tiles and clean countertops is complemented by the bare wood planks of the cabinet doors and the rough brick accent wall. At Livspace Design ideas, you will find a range of stunning kitchen designs in a bunch of different colour themes. So, whether you’re someone who prefers a brighter, lighter colour palette or wishes to bathe their kitchen in bright hues, we’ve got some excellent ideas to inspire you. Being one of the most used spaces in our homes, HDB kitchen designs require regular upkeep. In addition, with new design trends coming in every now and then, we wish to keep up and makeover our kitchens from time to time.
