Condo Kitchen Design Ideas
12 Open and Closed Kitchens for Condo Units

Browse 12 kitchen designs built around what a condo gives you: a closed or open kitchen, a service yard, a fixed gas point and a hood with nowhere to vent.

📍 We serve KL, Selangor & Putrajaya.

In a condo the big kitchen decision is open or closed, and the building often makes it for you. Gas cooking and wok frying favour a closed kitchen; a hood that can only recirculate, or no gas at all, makes an open kitchen workable. The service yard is usually the only outside air, gas and plumbing points stay where the developer put them, and cutting a kitchen wall needs the management's approval. These 12 concept designs show the moves that work inside those limits: glass sliders that open a closed kitchen, induction for an open plan, light from the yard, slim hoods, corner storage and dining built against the kitchen wall. This page covers the main condo kitchen; cabinet sizing lives on the small kitchen cabinet page.

How to plan a condo kitchen

Start with the points the building fixes: the gas supply, the water and waste pipes, the hood's possible exit, and the yard. Then decide open or closed. Most Malaysian condos were handed over with a closed kitchen and a service yard; opening it up looks better but brings cooking smells and grease into the living room.

  • Cook with a wok and gas? Keep the kitchen closable: glass sliders or a barn door give light without losing the door.
  • Induction or light cooking? An open kitchen or an island works, with a recirculating or ducted hood.
  • Dark inner kitchen? Bring light from the yard with a glass door and use light cabinet colours.
  • Short of space? Use the corner with a pull-out, take wall cabinets to the ceiling, and dine at a short island or a bench.

Plan the yard at the same time. A washer, dryer and drying space have to fit there, and the yard is usually where the kitchen's only window is.

This gallery covers the condo kitchen as a whole. For cabinet sizes and small-run layouts, see small kitchen cabinet design; for hood types and prices, the kitchen hood and hob guide; and for the open-or-closed decision in more depth, wet kitchen vs dry kitchen.

More styles are in the kitchen design gallery, and the laundry area design gallery covers the service yard behind most condo kitchens.

Condo rules to check before you renovate

  • Gas. Piped gas and cylinder points are fixed by the building and gas work needs the right trade. Moving them is not a cabinet job.
  • Walls. Cutting a kitchen wall to open it up needs the management's approval and a check that the wall is not structural.
  • The facade. Yard windows, louvres and the outside of the building are common property. You can change the kitchen side of the yard door, not the facade.
  • Hood exhaust. Many condo kitchens have no route to the outside; a recirculating hood is the usual answer.
  • Admin. ClickBina's KL kitchen guide puts condo admin for the deposit, lift booking and permit at RM500 – RM2,000, which landed homes do not pay.

What a condo kitchen costs

ClickBina's Kuala Lumpur kitchen guide puts a compact condo kitchen refresh with new cabinets, worktop and backsplash at RM12,000 – RM22,000, and a full mid-range remodel with a wet-and-dry partition and new appliances at RM22,000 – RM38,000. A wet-and-dry glass partition alone is RM2,000 – RM5,000. The small kitchen cabinet guide lists melamine at RM180 – RM300 and laminate at RM280 – RM420 per foot run (indicative Klang Valley ranges for 2026).

Ask for the cabinets, worktop, glass, hood and hob, and any plumbing or electrical changes to be listed separately, so you can see what the layout itself costs.

Common Questions

Should my condo kitchen be open or closed?
If you cook with a wok on gas most days, keep it closable with glass sliders or a barn door. If you cook lightly or use induction, an open kitchen with a good hood works.
Can I knock down my condo kitchen wall?
Only with the management's approval and a check that the wall is not structural. Many owners cut the wall to a half-height counter instead of removing it.
What hood works in a condo with no duct to the outside?
A recirculating hood. It filters grease and smell through replaceable filters but does not remove heat or steam, so change the filters on schedule.
How much does a condo kitchen renovation cost?
ClickBina's KL kitchen guide puts a compact condo refresh at RM12,000 – RM22,000 and a full mid-range remodel at RM22,000 – RM38,000, plus condo admin of RM500 – RM2,000.
How do I brighten a condo kitchen with no window?
Replace the solid yard door with a glass one, use white or light cabinets, and add LED strips under the wall cabinets.
Can I move the gas point in my condo kitchen?
Gas points are fixed by the building and need the right trade and approval to change. Plan the hob where the gas already is unless you switch to induction.
Are the designs on this page real ClickBina projects?
No. They are illustrative concept designs that show condo kitchen options. Your kitchen is assessed and quoted to its own layout, gas and plumbing points and your building's rules.
