Is your kitchen counter a magnet for mail, air fryers, and coffee mugs? In 2026, the “Standard Kitchen” is evolving. Homeowners at Kuala Lumpur are moving away from cluttered workspaces toward “Visual Quiet.” At KEBENET, we believe your kitchen should look like a high-end lounge, not a storage unit. Here is how we are using new cabinetry perspectives to eliminate the chaos.
The Death of the “White-on-White” Era
For years, Malaysian homes favored high-gloss white. In 2026, we are seeing a shift toward Biophilic Luxe—think sage greens, warm walnuts, and matte charcoal. This isn’t just about color; it’s about creating a “soulful” heart of the home.

The “Invisible” Kitchen: Appliance Garages
The secret to a zero-clutter kitchen isn’t owning fewer appliances—it’s hiding them. Appliance Garages with pocket doors are our most requested feature this year. Whether you’re in a spacious bungalow in Kuantan or a modern condo in Mont Kiara, hiding your toaster and blender behind seamless panels instantly elevates the room.
