Kitchen Week: Extra Working Space
Our dry kitchen isn’t humongous. It’s adequate for the average size Malaysian family. However, there’d be occasions where a group of friends would come over for a cookout and there’d be several hands in the kitchen preparing a meal. This is when we could do with a little extra working space. My father had this great idea to install a collapsible shelf on the opposite side of the kitchen. Here’s a look at what it looks like (you might’ve wondered about it in the previous post- Dry Kitchen Flooring)
And here’s what it looks like when extended. In the image, it sure looks like it’s reaching towards the kitchen top but in actual fact, there’s enough space for two people to pass through side by side. This application can also be applied to apartments as a dining/breakfast table top, in children’s rooms where one might wish to maximise the play area and yet be able to provide the child with a basic study table. If you’re interested, any local contractor/carpenter would be able to get this custom made for you.

Hi, since your are talking about kitchen, i have a situation here. I have renovate my kitchen and was buildup a table top for wet kitchen. However, the table top doesn’t come with the doors. It is possible if i just want to hire a contractor or kitchen cabinet specialist to just install the door without build other cabinet since my budget now is limited due to coming Hari Raya, hehe.
Can you suggest me any contractor or shop that provide kitchen cabinet services that comes with good price and quality works? Thanks in advanced!
Akram- apologies for my delayed response. Haven’t had much time in the past few days. As for your issue, you can definitely just build doors to cover up the cavity under your table/kitchen top without the need to fit in a full cabinet.
In fact, i did this for 3 of my bathrooms. The developer provided me with a marbletop. All i did was get a shelf put in across and two doors to cover the cavity and voila, you have what looks like a built-in cabinet.
I’ve heard some good things about this blog. Remember to balance the pics with the text tho. cheers!
