Rustic minimal could just be the most popular out of this list of eight that we're showing you, which is why we're putting it at the top of the list. Rustic minimal combines all the best features of rustic decor, like raw wooden beams and hardwood flooring, with the neutrality of minimal design.
See how the dark grey of the cabinetry perfectly offsets the light brown of the wood? This creates an interesting log-cabin mixed with vogue vibe.
With shabby chic, you can bring a rustic yet feminine style to your space. The shabby chic kitchen is particularly warm and inviting and can be thought of as an amalgamation of vintage and classic. The slighlty scratched or faded look of vintage furniture mixed with a classic design creates a soft and functional space, perfect for either large or small kitchens.

The minimalist kitchen is just as its name suggests–minimal. You won't see any over-the-top, loud, obnoxious decorations in these kitchens, as the minimalist style promotes the less is more
ideology.
With fewer trinkets taking up space, minimalist kitchens provide the perfect space for cooking even the largest meals uninterrupted by inconvenient decor.
The vintage style is all about recreating lost times from the past by incorporating old handmade, restored, or historic-looking elements into the kitchen.
Take this kitchen, for example. The cream-coloured cabinetry, white tile backsplash, and cute accessories like the bread box all bring us back to the 1940s. It's no wonder why Malaysians have picked this as a popular kitchen style for their homes.
When a kitchen is painted black, white or grey, it showcases sleekness, sophistication, and class, and for homeowners who prefer contemporary or modern design, these colours the perfect choices. Grey is an underrated colour, but it definitely boasts refinement, as exemplified by this image.
These designers did a great job making sure the grey didn't come off as cold or sterile by pairing it with white and adding pops of teal accents, bringing warmth and character to the area.
The industrial design scheme is certainly nothing to mess around with. This kitchen is functional, stylish, and sleek. Lots of stainless steel creates an industrial, no nonsense atmosphere where everything is pristine and streamlined.
Retro is a culturally outdated or aged style from the post-modern past, yet it has really been the up-and-coming kitchen style for not only Malaysia, but the rest of the world as well.
This style generally implies using materials that were in style at least fifteen or twenty years in the past, so this 70s style fridge that clashes with the purple kitchen stand is the archetypal example of this style.
Most kitchens are very utilitarian in their setup, boasting efficiency and practicality. But Bohemian style kitchens have a little something extra–a certain je ne sais quoi. Open shelving, plants, a combination of interesting textures, vintage appliances… all of these things help to give kitchens a nonchalant, Bohemian vibe.
The rest of this home is just as impressive as the kitchen, and we highly suggest you take the tour to get some more Boho ideas for your home!
