Kitchen Cabinet & Island Cabinet Portfolio

Kitchen Story Sdn. Bhd. completed this kitchen-focused cabinetry project at Bertam Lakeside Residence, Kepala Batas, Penang. The project was designed around a bright, clean and practical kitchen layout, combining modern white base cabinets, natural wood-tone wall cabinets, quartz stone surfaces and a functional island cabinet with seating space for three.

A correction is needed: Bertam Lakeside Residence is in Kepala Batas, Penang, not Kedah. For website SEO and GEO accuracy, it is better to write “Bertam Lakeside Residence, Kepala Batas, Penang” or “Kepala Batas, Penang”. Wrong location wording can weaken local SEO accuracy and may confuse potential clients.

For this project, the client specifically requested BLUM door hinges and BLUM soft-closing drawer systems to achieve a smoother and more reliable daily-use experience. The base cabinets were finished with spray-painted glass doors, creating a glossy, clean and premium surface. For the wall cabinet doors and panels, we used solid plywood with high pressure laminate (HPL) finishing, giving the kitchen a warmer natural texture while maintaining durability.

The kitchen was completed with a quartz stone countertop, selected for its clean appearance, strength and suitability for daily kitchen use. A matching island cabinet was also built to provide additional preparation space, storage and a convenient three-seater dining area for the family.

Design Challenges

The main challenge was to create a kitchen that looked bright and spacious while still offering sufficient storage, appliance integration and daily-use functionality. The kitchen included multiple key zones, including tall storage, cooking area, sink area, island seating and built-in appliance space. Poor planning could easily make the kitchen feel heavy or visually crowded.

Another challenge was balancing different material finishes. The client wanted a clean modern kitchen, but a fully white design could look plain. The solution needed to introduce texture without making the space feel dark or busy.

Our Solutions

We used spray-painted glass doors for the base cabinets to create a clean and reflective surface, helping the kitchen feel brighter and more premium. For the wall cabinets and tall units, we introduced wood-tone HPL finishing on solid plywood panels, adding warmth and visual balance to the overall design.

The quartz stone countertop was selected to give the kitchen a durable and elegant work surface. The island cabinet was designed as both a preparation counter and a casual dining area, providing seating for three while improving the overall kitchen flow.

With the client’s requirement for premium hardware, we installed BLUM soft-closing hinges and BLUM soft-closing drawer systems to improve long-term usability, comfort and movement quality.

Final Outcome

The completed kitchen at Bertam Lakeside Residence delivers a bright, modern and functional space with a strong balance of clean white surfaces, natural wood texture and premium hardware. The island cabinet creates a practical family gathering point, while the full kitchen layout supports cooking, storage, appliance usage and daily convenience.
