Why Custom Kitchen Cabinets & Wardrobes Matter for Singapore Homes
Singapore’s compact urban living demands smart, stylish solutions—and nowhere is this clearer than in kitchens and bedrooms. Off-the-shelf furniture often compromises on fit, durability, or aesthetics, leaving homeowners frustrated with wasted space or mismatched designs. Enter custom kitchen cabinets and wardrobes: tailored to your exact dimensions, lifestyle, and design preferences, these pieces elevate functionality while reflecting your personal style. For Singaporeans prioritizing longevity, sustainability, and luxury, MRETTY’s ENF-grade OSB and aerospace aluminum honeycomb technology set the gold standard.
Step 1: Assess Your Needs & Define Your Style
The first step in creating flawless custom kitchen cabinets and wardrobes is understanding your requirements. At MRETTY, we start with a 1-on-1 consultation to:
-
Measure your space (critical for Singapore’s varied HDB and condo layouts).
-
Discuss daily habits (e.g., do you need deep drawers for pots? A pull-out pantry?).
-
Finalize a style—minimalist Scandinavian, tropical modern, or industrial chic?
Pro Tip:Share mood boards or Pinterest inspo with our designers; we’ll refine it into a 3D render to visualize the end result.
Step 2: Choose Materials That Stand the Test of Time
Singapore’s high humidity and tropical climate demand materials that resist warping, staining, and wear. MRETTY uses only ENF-grade oriented strand board (OSB)—a sustainable, formaldehyde-free alternative to particleboard—with a 25mm thickness for added sturdiness. Unlike competitors who use E1-grade particleboard, our OSB:
-
Withstands moisture (ideal for kitchens and bathrooms).
-
Boasts FSC certification for eco-conscious buyers.
-
Pairs with E0-level water-based paint (5 base coats + 3 topcoats) for scratch-resistant, matte finishes.
Step 3: Engineer for Durability & Functionality
Our secret weapon? Aerospace aluminum honeycomb cores in cabinet frames. This lightweight yet rigid structure prevents sagging—even in heavy-use kitchens—while reducing overall weight for easier installation. Competitors rely on solid wood or MDF frames, which warp over time. We also add:
-
Hidden soft-close hinges (no loud slams).
-
J-shaped groove door panels (adds texture and hides fingerprints).
-
25mm thick shelves (vs. standard 18mm) to bear heavier loads.
Step 4: Install with Precision & Protect Your Space
MRETTY’s installation team follows a rigorous process:
-
Floor protection: We lay anti-scratch film to shield your existing floors.
-
Leveling: Cabinets are anchored to wall studs using hidden brackets for stability.
-
Final touches: Soft-close mechanisms are tested, and doors/drawers align perfectly.
Why it matters:Poor installation causes misaligned doors or structural damage—issues we eliminate with 20+ years of collective expertise.
Step 5: Enjoy & Maintain Your Investment
Our cabinets require minimal upkeep: wipe with a damp cloth, avoid harsh chemicals, and schedule annual check-ins for hinge adjustments. With MRETTY’s 10-year warranty on hardware and frame, you’ll enjoy peace of mind for decades.

Real Case Study: Transforming a 800 sqft HDB Kitchen & Walk-In Wardrobe
Meet Sarah, a marketing manager in Tampines, who needed a functional kitchen and walk-in wardrobe for her 800 sqft HDB flat. Her pain points? A cramped kitchen with a sloped ceiling and a small bedroom lacking storage.
The Challenge:
-
Kitchen: Limited counter space; existing cabinets warped from steam.
-
Wardrobe: Sloped ceiling left 30cm unused; clothes got crushed in shallow drawers.
MRETTY’s Solution:
-
Kitchen Cabinets:
-
Custom 25mm thick doors with J-groove detailing (hides smudges).
-
Water槽柜 fully wrapped in aluminum (prevents moisture damage).
-
Hidden hinges for silent operation.
-
Pull-out spice racks and a corner lazy Susan (maximizing odd angles).
-
-
Walk-In Wardrobe:
-
Aerospace aluminum frames (lightweight yet sturdy for sloped ceilings).
-
25mm thick shelves (holds 20kg without sagging).
-
Built-in tie racks and velvet-lined jewelry drawers.
-
Soft furnishing model showing how curtains and lighting would complement the design.
-
Result:Sarah’s kitchen now has 30% more usable counter space, and her wardrobe fits all seasonal clothing with room to grow. “MRETTY didn’t just build cabinets—they designed a lifestyle,” she says.
