    • And… we’re back with another post about my kitchen! This space is easily one of my favourite (and most well-used) parts of the home. Now that it’s been over a year since I started using it daily, here’s Part 2 — with more updates on how it’s holding up, the current condition, and just how easy it’s been to maintain!
    • I can’t recommend this bread box enough. It neatly stores all my daily essentials — from supplements to tea supplies — while keeping the clutter completely out of sight. Plus, its aesthetic design seriously elevates the vibe!
    • On the right side of my breadbox, I used the popular IKEA wooden tray — it fits perfectly and adds to the setup! Note: Grouping similar items on a single tray instantly makes the space look more organised (and neater than it actually is!). This is a tip that has worked wonders for me, not just in the kitchen but all over the house as well!
    • I’ve mentioned this before, but with open shelving, I always prioritise items that offer both aesthetics and function.
    • If something doesn’t meet both criteria, I simply don’t get it. It’s all about creating a space that’s both beautiful and practical.
    • I prefer using transparent, minimal hooks so they don’t distract from my precious terrazzo backsplash — I paid good money for it! Haha!
    • Zuutii products are my absolute favourite — they make my cooking counter look effortlessly aesthetic while being practical and easy to use with its user friendly design! These are their drip-free oil carafes which I use on the daily.
    • On the other side of the cooking counter, alongside the Zuutti spice containers, I use Daiso’s “Ultimate” Stackable/Foldable container to store my cooking essentials. When not in use, it folds away easily and stays out of sight — perfect for saving space without the clutter.
    • If you're in the midst of renovation and still finalising your kitchen design, I highly recommend considering KompacPlus countertops. They're not only aesthetically pleasing, but also come with the option of a matching sink cover — a great way to keep your kitchen looking clean and pristine!
    • Right below my induction stove, I have a full size pull-out for storing all my frequently used cooking utensils. The polyprophylene storage organisers are bought from MUJI's modular PP box series and Daiso.
    • I've mentioned this before but it bears repeating. I really love my pull-out solution for my bins! If you can include this in your kitchen, I highly recommend it!
    • As a tea lover, I use this IKEA trolley with a lid to store all my tea-making essentials. It keeps everything in one place and lets me wheel my tea setup anywhere in the house — perfect for tea time, anytime, anywhere!
