In this article we'll take a look at this topic further, considering certain trends that are prevalent for kitchen cabinet design and design in Malaysia.  
  
Before we get started, let's look at less heavy kitchen cabinets. A lighter color, such as cream or white can give your kitchen uncluttered, bright and airy feel. They reflect light well they can make a tiny kitchen appear larger than it is. This factor is especially valuable in Malaysia in which high-rises and smaller kitchen spaces are common.  
  
Cabinets with light colors are versatile and timeless. They can be paired with a wide range of kitchen design elements, from backsplashes and countertops, to appliances and hardware. In addition, lighter cabinets contribute to an airy, warm and inviting space that allows family or guests to gather and spend their time at the kitchen.  
  
Even with these benefits, light-colored cabinets are not without their flaws. They can show dirt, scratches, and stains more easily than darker cabinets, which means they'll likely require more maintenance for them to look the best.  
  
However, darker kitchen cabinets come with a diverse set of benefits. Colors with darker hues, such as black, navy blue, or deep gray, are able to add drama and elegance with your kitchen design. They are a great contrast with lighter features in the kitchen for example, granite countertops in white or an attractive backsplash.  
  
Dark cabinets also offer practical advantages. They're lesser likely stains or wear, which can be ideal for busy Malaysian kitchens, where there is a lot of cooking. They can also be used to hide marks and fingerprints, which could be very beneficial in a home with kids.  
  
Despite the aesthetic appeal of darker cabinets, they might not be the ideal option for every kitchen. Darker shades tend to suck up light, making the small kitchen feel smaller. If your kitchen isn't well lit darker cabinets can make the room feel dim or secluded.  
  
Whether you choose either darker or lighter kitchen cabinets, remember this: the choice is affected by your personal style along with the dimensions and lighting of your kitchen and lifestyle needs. There is a good chance that you should think about the kitchen cabinet design trends in fashion in Malaysia.

It is a matter of having the upper cabinets in lighter shades and lower cabinets in a darker shade, or to reverse. This type of design allows for the ideal of both worlds, providing the fresh feel of lighter cabinets as well as an imposing look and feel of dark cabinets.  
  
Furthermore the kitchen cabinet hue should work nicely with the whole kitchen design. Choose the color that matches your backsplash, countertops appliances as well as flooring. It's always an excellent idea to take sample home and check out the effects of colors under several lighting scenarios.  
  
Picking the right color for your kitchen cabinets is a significant decision, but remember that it's only one aspect of the overall kitchen design selection process. Other aspects, such as layout, functionality and the durability of the cabinets are equally important.
