Hi Joshgm,

Congratulations on your purchase! Can you share me your layout so that I can give you better estimation.

Thank you.

Hi Lefty,

Appreciate if you can share your expertise ideas for my dry kitchen.




Initially my planning was like this but then the dining table is very close to living room and my wife wishes to have an island for baking.
So I plan to break down the wall (circled in red) to expand my dry kitchen. There will be a big window (circled in green) after breaking the wall.
Things to have in my dry kitchen are an island, fridge, oven, microwave, and a sink.

What kind of design should I go for? U, I or L shape?

Hi, I'm very new to home renovation and would like to seek your advice. First off, I really do appreciate you offering your advice here!

This is a 2,207 sqft condo. What do you think the estimated cost will be to fully renovate a unit like this with a reputable ID?

Hi IntensiveBytes,

Is my pleasure to serve back the community because the community had been good to me too =)

Quite a big condo you have there !

I will say it probably will cost you somewhere about RM220k for the whole renovation. This estimation exclude of any tiling works and civil work ya.

Thank you and happy renovating!

Hi atyy88,

To me the below orientation is better. The one with sitting is island, so that the people that working at island wont face the guest room door and they can interact with the people sitting on the dining table

Happy Renovating!

Hi Lefty,

Do you have any idea on designing the kitchen and living room based on this layout?

Is this enough to fit island, fridge, oven, microwave, and sink?

Dear Lefty,

Thanks for sharing your professional views with us, it was really helpful going through this thread. Just collected key for my new landed home and I have no idea how to utilize the spaces available effectively

So many question in my mind but dun even know where to start .. headache ..

Can give a few pointers how to gel the areas together? pls refer attachment for the options we have in mind now.

is it possible to fit in an island (wife wish list ) in the dry kitchen area ? or a L shape is better ?

Thanks in advance
