As homes get smaller, so do kitchens. If you’re struggling to find more space in your kitchen, why not look to your service yard? Combining the two areas will create a larger workspace for both your cooking and laundry needs.
Check out these 7 must-see examples below!
1. Demarcate the space with full-height cabinetry
Maximise every square inch of your kitchen/yard with cabinetry that spans across the entire space. For more walking room, keep bulky items (e.g. cabinets and washing machines) flushed against the wall.

2. Adopt an L-shaped layout
Whoever said you can’t make your 2-room HDB kitchen feel bigger than it is? Try building an L-shaped counter layout across your kitchen/yard. Tuck the washer into the shorter end of the room so there’s no dead space.

3. Keep cooking fumes out with glass doors
There are plenty of reasons to keep your kitchen and yard separate. If you cook often, then keeping oily fumes out of your clothes is a major concern.
An easy fix? Glass doors! They keep the space visually seamless so you can have a ‘bigger’ space, while ensuring your fresh linen stays clean.

4. Build a double-duty countertop space
When you’re lacking in space, multipurpose features are a godsend. Try building a countertop space in your service yard that can function as (1) kitchen prep space or (2) for folding clothes. This dark, gritty home shows us how it’s done.
