Browse 12 kitchenette looks for a studio, SOHO or SOFO unit, from a kitchen hidden behind doors to a bar counter that divides the room.
📍 We serve KL, Selangor & Putrajaya.
In a studio, SOHO or SOFO unit the kitchen is a kitchenette along one wall of the room you sleep in, so it has to be compact, quiet and easy to hide. Many SOHO units have kitchenette-grade plumbing risers and no gas, so the usual set-up is a compact sink, an induction hob, a slim hood and good storage, with the sink and riser positions fixed by the building. Doors that close the kitchen off, a bar counter that divides it from the bed, and lighting that keeps the two zones separate do the rest. These 12 concept designs show hidden, compact and open kitchenettes. Use the filters below to narrow them by style.
Each design below is an illustrative concept render of a kitchenette in a compact Malaysian studio, SOHO or SOFO unit, grouped by style. Tap any image to enlarge it. Every card links to the ClickBina guide that covers the cabinets, hood, worktop, lighting or layout behind that look.

Start with what the building allows. ClickBina's SOHO and SOFO renovation guide warns that many SOHO units are zoned commercial-residential and have kitchenette-grade plumbing risers that may not support a full wet kitchen sink and hob, and that gas and heavy cooking exhaust may not be allowed. A dry kitchenette with a compact sink, an induction hob and good storage suits most units.
For the rest of the unit, the small condo design gallery and the wall bed guide cover layouts and fold-away furniture that suit one-room homes.
| Approach | Best for | Needs | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hidden behind doors | Kitchen facing the bed | Full-height or sliding doors, a ventilated cabinet | Door swing and steam |
| Compact appliances | Daily light cooking | Induction hob, slim hood, under-counter fridge | Circuit capacity |
| Open with a bar counter | Studios that need a dining spot | A counter, two stools, zone lighting | Clear walkway |
| Corridor kitchenette | SOFO units with an entry passage | A single slim run of cabinets | Width of the passage |
| Unit | Usually works | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Studio (one open room) | Hidden kitchen, bar counter divider, zone lighting | Smells reaching the bed |
| SOHO | Dry kitchenette, induction, recirculating hood | Riser size and house rules |
| SOFO | Corridor kitchenette, tall pantry with laundry | Whether residential use is allowed |
| Airbnb or rental unit | Durable flat fronts, simple appliances, easy-clean top | Short-stay by-laws |
ClickBina's guides quote (indicative Klang Valley ranges for 2026): kitchen cabinets per foot run from about RM180 – RM300 for melamine to RM280 – RM420 for laminate; a floor-to-ceiling laminate pantry at roughly RM448 – RM924 per foot; and fitting a replacement chimney hood where no new duct is needed at RM350 – RM600. The SOHO guide lists serviced-apartment renovation deposits on ClickBina's KL guide at RM1,500 – RM3,000.
A short run of cabinets keeps a kitchenette affordable even with better hardware, so spend on hinges, drawer runners and a good worktop rather than length.
