test

There’s no denying that the kitchen is the heart of many homes. So it makes sense, then, that kitchen cabinet design can make or break the space. Here are some of the most popular modern kitchen cabinet designs in Malaysia. 

Well-designed home kitchen cabinets make for a good-looking and functional kitchen – that means efficient to cook in, and a welcoming place to gather and share delicious meals.

If you’re planning a renovation or looking for home kitchen cabinet inspiration, you’re in luck. We chatted to the interior designers at Cobbitty Grove Kitchens and put together a list of eight stunning cabinetry ideas for your dream kitchen.

This beautiful home kitchen was completed as part of a renovation of an older home, so when it came to building the kitchen cabinets it was important to work with the space. The bold coloured cabinetry complements well with the wooden element.

Home kitchen remodelling can get expensive, but you don’t have to build your own kitchen cabinets or buy used kitchen cabinets to save a few bucks.

Custom kitchen cabinets using inexpensive materials – like melamine or stainless steel – can actually be more affordable than you think. And, if you go for the popular two-tone option, your budget-friendly kitchen will be right on-trend.

If you love oak or pine kitchen cabinets, timber-look or timber-veneer options won’t break the bank.

For smaller kitchen designs, install a spice rack or a hanging rack to store your appliances.

3. Timeless shaker cabinetry

Nothing says modern home kitchen quite like the sleek lines of handle-less cabinetry. Add in high-gloss and it’s banging on-trend.

Plus, the over-sized island means more room for kitchen cabinet storage – including plenty of drawers, which are more popular than cupboards thanks to the easy access to contents.

If you lack natural light in your kitchen, don’t worry, the white and grey colour combination will make the space much brighter and airier. Place a pendant lights above the kitchen island and you’re good to go,

8. Custom cabinet design

Sometimes, it truly is the little things that make all the difference. And this home kitchen is no exception.

The addition of a V-groove board wrapping the outside corner of the U-shaped kitchen adds instant appeal. And you don’t have to worry about storage space either, the top and base cabinet offers lots of storage there.

Upgrading your kitchen cabinet is by far one of the easiest ways to change up the look of your kitchen. As you can see from the different tips above, there are many modern home kitchen cabinet designs you can implement for your home.
