Is your kitchen up to date?

When it comes to keeping up with fashionable interior ideas, the kitchen is often the last room of the home that we think to renovate. It'll be too expensive or time-consuming, we say, without realising that there are thousands of ways to update a kitchen without spending all of our time and money!

That means there is no excuse to fall behind and forget about the design of your kitchen in 2017. Join us as we explore the top ten Malaysian kitchen trends for this spring, and find out for yourself just how easy they are to achieve…

1. Sliding doors on oversize cupboards

Handles? Pah – so passé. In 2017, floor to ceiling cabinets with space-saving sliding doors are the only way to store your utensils and groceries with panache.

2. Plants, plants, and more plants

Plants are a valuable and stylish addition to any home, and nowhere are they more needed than in the kitchen. Include a mixture of useful herbs and beautiful trailing greenery to ensure your home stays on top of the trends this year.

3. Creative alternatives to kitchen islands

Designers in the know are branching out in 2017 and taking a more eclectic approach to kitchen design. Traditional kitchen islands are out, replaced instead by mismatched vintage dressers and cupboards topped with modern worktops. This kitchen design by Schmidt Kitchens Barnet is the perfect example of this innovative new approach.

4. Quartz worktops

Laminate worktops have had their day. This year, sparkly quartz worktops are the hottest way to dress up your kitchen. Classier than wood and more modern than marble, the glittery flecks and multiple tones of quartz worktops make them a strong and stylish choice.

5. Industrial is back again!

Sparse industrial kitchens never really go out of vogue, but they're stepping into the foreground again in 2017. Well, after the bleak year we've just had, what can you expect?

6. Dark and sleek… and clutter-free

Keep those utensils out of sight! 2017 is the year to forget open shelving and appliance envy in favour of clean, clutter-free work spaces, closed doors, and sleek shapes. To really ace this new minimal look, keep boring old white to a minimum and embrace shiny dark surfaces.

7. 21st century storage solutions

Time to up your game, storage-wise! If you invest in one thing for your kitchen, make it a set of superior shelves and drawers that hold everything you need in one.

8. Eclectic tiles and cabinets

Mix up colours and styles with a wall full of striking Mediterranean-style tiles. These fun patterns match any interior style – from minimal to industrial to tropical, there's a design to suit every taste.

homify hint: when in doubt, classic blue, white and gold always looks great.

9. In-built modern technology

Don't get left behind – ditch that last century microwave you've been hanging onto and give your kitchen a tech-savvy upgrade! High-tech blenders, quick'n'quiet dishwashers and smart scales are all essentials for a modern kitchen. Sous vide precision cookers, built-in tablet holders, and robotic hoovers are the things every home will want to have over the course of this year.

10. Scandi style meets Japanese wabi sabi principles

Two of our favourite styles crash together this year to make one overwhelmingly beautiful concept – Scandi sabi! The homely, hygge elements of Scandinavian design meld perfectly with the Japanese ideas of impermanence and minimalism, creating a crisp and cosy home that reflects the best of both east and west.
