<p>Yang&rsquo;s Inspiration Design was founded in 2017 by a group of friends with a common vision &ndash; to provide affordable home renovation to the common man. We believe that good design is something that should be made accessible to everybody to help enhance and enrich lives, without a hefty price tag. We base our interior design on only what the client needs and wants, nothing more, nothing less. By catering to their exact requirements, we give them not only their dream home but also help create a lifestyle that revolves around ease and efficiency. You could say we are a solutions provider and not merely just a renovation contractor. At the end of the day, we stand by one motto &ndash; Minimize Cost. Maximize Design.</p>

<p>With BTO launches reduced from four to just three a year, we were treated to a whole slew of BTOs back in June 2024. There were two PLH projects, including the fabulous (my opinion) <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/articles/jun-2024-bto-unit-analysis-for-tanjong-rhu-riverfront-i--ii-at-kallangwhampoa">Tanjong Rhu Riverfront I &amp; II</a> along the Geylang River as well as the fantastically convenient <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/articles/jun-2024-bto-unit-analysis-for-holland-vista-at-queenstown">Holland Vista</a> at the heart of Holland Village. For the Westies and Northies, we were given <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/articles/jun-2024-bto-unit-analysis-for-teban-breeze-at-jurong-east">Teban Breeze</a>, while folks who frequent JB would have liked <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/articles/jun-2024-bto-unit-analysis-for-marsiling-peak-i--ii-at-woodlands">Marsiling Peak I &amp; II</a>. <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/articles/jun-2024-bto-unit-analysis-for-chencharu-hills-at-yishun">Chencharu Hills</a> is located in an upcoming housing estate in Yishun, perfect for those who like braving into a whole new world. And for Easties, <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/articles/jun-2024-bto-unit-analysis-for-tampines-greentopaz">Tampines GreenTopaz</a> next to a Downtown Line MRT station should whet your appetite.</p><p>Click into the links to take a closer look at the detailed analyses for the best units to choose.

12 Functional and Fabulous Floor Plans for the June 2024 BTOs 

<p>Because we live in a world of consumerism, I’ve an air fryer, a toaster oven, a coffee machine, <i>and</i> a rice cooker taking up precious real estate on my kitchen countertop. I might need a Marie Kondo in my life (although last I’ve heard, she’s given up on decluttering), but perhaps these appliance garage ideas would be a better solution to my storage woes.</p><p>For the uninitiated, an appliance garage is really just a fancy way of saying a dedicated storage space for your appliances. Below, you'll find a variety of solutions, whether you need small-space-friendly cubbies or something for a kitchen full of appliances (like mine), all in a bid to help you declutter your kitchen countertop.</p><h2><strong>1. Pull-Out Drawers</strong></h2><p>Having pull-out drawers in your kitchen cabinets can make it so much easier to grab your appliances without having to reach far back. Plus, you can use them right there in the drawer without having to transfer them to the countertop.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/appliance-garage-kitchen-countertop-declutter-singapore-1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="1200"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/yang-s-inspiration-design">Yang’s Inspiration Design</a></p><h2><strong>2. Integrated Pantry</strong></h2><p>An integrated kitchen pantry lets you store all your appliances in one convenient location. I love how this idea takes up an otherwise awkward corner, and the fact that it’s a walk in one as well makes it even better!</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/appliance-garage-kitchen-countertop-declutter-singapore-2.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/charlottes-carpentry">Charlotte’s Carpentry</a></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><br>

</div><h2><strong>3. Corner Solution</strong></h2><p>Speaking of awkward corners, another great solution is this appliance garage. Since it fits snugly in the corner, it provides extra deep storage space. Plus, I love how the doors can be neatly tucked away, making access easy and convenient.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/appliance-garage-kitchen-countertop-declutter-singapore-3.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="1200"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/massing-design">Massing Design</a></p><h2><strong>4. Countertop Storage</strong></h2><p>For those who insist on keeping your appliances on your countertop, here’s one way to hide the mess—with a bi-fold door! Include power outlets just behind the appliances so you can use them straight away!</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/appliance-garage-kitchen-countertop-declutter-singapore-4.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1130"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/the-alchemists-design">The Alchemists Design</a></p><h2><strong>5. Behind Pocket Doors</strong></h2><p>Hidden behind pocket doors that easily tuck away, this full-height appliance garage functions as a mini kitchen with a workspace and convenient drawers.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/appliance-garage-kitchen-countertop-declutter-singapore-5.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="801"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/ee-design-pte-ltd">E+e Design</a>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>6. Open Pantry</strong></h2><p>If you have a spacious kitchen, you might want to try out this open pantry concept. With open shelves, it makes it simple to grab whatever tool or appliance you need.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/appliance-garage-kitchen-countertop-declutter-singapore-6.jpg" alt="" width="799" height="1200"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/the-alchemists-design">The Alchemists Design</a></p><h2><strong>7. Tucked-Away Open Niche</strong></h2><p>Having an open niche in the corner of your kitchen is a convenient way to store everyday appliances. They stay hidden but easily accessible, and if you add power outlets, you can use your appliances without having to shift them elsewhere.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/appliance-garage-kitchen-countertop-declutter-singapore-7.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="1200"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/massing-design">Massing Design</a></p><h2><strong>8. Floating Shelf</strong></h2><p>Floating shelves are a perfect solution for keeping your kitchen open and spacious without overcrowding it with built-in cabinets. They also work well as appliance garages, allowing for easy access to power outlets and the flexibility to move appliances around as needed.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/appliance-garage-kitchen-countertop-declutter-singapore-8.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/fifth-avenue-interior">Fifth Avenue Interior</a></p><h2><strong>9. Under-Cabinet Cubby</strong></h2><p>Create a designated spot below your lower cabinets for an appliance garage. Ensure it's spacious enough to accommodate all your appliances and add power outlets for convenient use. Opt for a lift-and-tuck door for easy accessibility.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/appliance-garage-kitchen-countertop-declutter-singapore-9.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="1200"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/yang-s-inspiration-design">Yang’s Inspiration Design</a></p>
