Glossy white looks classy.

Glossy white

But glossy white doesn't look very Scandi nor rustic. More modern? Wouldn't the third choice be Scandi rustic??

+1 for matt white! glossy surfaces tend to leave fingerprints and are harder to maintain IMO.

+1 glossy white, or low-gloss if you can find. i would say 80% of Scandinavian kitchens are white. maybe add some brushed metal drawer/cabinet handles to add a touch of rustic? can use industrial-looking pendant lamps instead of the modern philips ceiling lights too the subway tiles are spot-on. very nice.

just my two cents! hope you made your decision without much trouble

Kompacplus usually looks best with glossy white cabinet : http://www.kompacplus.com/#!portfolio/cxfy

Other combi just doesnt seem to bring out the niceness of the kompacplus top in my opinion: https://www.flickr.com/photos/56687936@N08/8585485614 , https://www.flickr.com/photos/kompacplus/6910562212/

Of cos if you have the budget and wanna go abit more hardcore to ur intended theme, you can stainless steel : http://www.kompacplus.com/

Hi lemoncandy!

Thanks for your comments. The lights are wrong. And we are installing industrial looking pendant lamps!

Hi PTopaz,

Thanks for commenting. We saw the stainless steel one. But burst budget la! Plus I don't want my kitchen to look too cold.

Or another suggestion - matt black laminate to contrast with the white tiles on the other side, and wood look kompacplus top!

White goes a long way... Can withstand the test of time... And glossy white won't turn yellowish like Matt ones

Nice house...

How much does it cost to hack your kitchen wall? Any ideas what to do to cover up the huge pipes?

Can share how much will your KompacPlus top be? TIA!

Hello pforpeggy!

I can pm u the costs. Since we are going for scandi-industrial-raw look, we are going to paint the pipes black. glossy black to be exact.

Thanks guys and gals for all the comments and suggestions! They did sway my choice for a while. Cause my ID has passed me another 2 more cabinet combinations. Now all of them again in one single post.

#1 - Glossy white [Currently main contender]

#2 - Matt white

#3 - Half half

#4 - Dark brown all

#5 - Light brown all

Whoa so many!

Has anyone bought any doors and stuff from http://www.doctordoors.com.sg/ ? Are they cheap and good? Do they provide installation? I am so amazed by their website! So many of the doors to choose from!

My ID just called and say both of my bedroom doors and the common toilet door exceeded the standard dimension of 3ft x 7ft by a couple of inches. So have to do a custom made door. Additional costs of course! Anyone has this type of issue before? He said it's because the flats now have bigger doors, esp for my area, for the old folks and provides easier access for those with mobility concerns. Is this true??

Sian now i have to source for my own door and hopefully they will turn out cheaper.
