6 Enclosed Kitchen Ideas for a Cleaner, Grease-Free Home

Prefer enclosed kitchens to open kitchens?

You’re in the right place.

In this article, we feature 6 enclosed kitchen ideas for anyone who wants a cleaner, grease-free home. Read on to find out more!

1. A single-wall kitchen

If you’re living in a compact apartment, you might have a single-wall kitchen, where you only have a single wall of cabinets, appliances and workspace.

These kitchens might be small, but the bonus is that they’re easy to clean!

2. This L-shaped kitchen

L-shaped kitchens are also common in Singapore. With these kitchens, the counters and appliances are arranged along two adjoining walls, creating an efficient work triangle while leaving space open for dining or movement.

3. This galley kitchen

Another common kitchen layout is the galley kitchen, where two parallel countertops create a narrow corridor for cooking. This design maximizes workspace in a limited area, and allows you to have everything within easy reach.

4. This (other) galley kitchen

With the extra space a galley-style kitchen offers, you can create a balanced storage solution by combining open shelving with closed cabinets.

Open shelves are perfect for displaying frequently used items or decorative pieces, while closed cabinets keep clutter out of sight and provide ample room for less attractive or bulkier kitchen essentials.

5. This (other) galley kitchen

In HDB flats, it’s common to have galley-style kitchens that open up to a service yard, which serves as a practical space for laundry and utility tasks.

This layout keeps cooking and cleaning areas separate yet conveniently connected, making it easier to manage household chores without crowding the main kitchen space.

6. This enclosed kitchen that gives you the best of both worlds

If you want an enclosed kitchen without making your space feel cramped, consider creating a wet and dry kitchen separated by glass panels.

This setup lets you contain cooking smells and splashes in the wet kitchen while keeping the dry kitchen open and visually connected to the rest of your home.
