In Malaysian homes, the kitchen often comes in more than one type. The wet kitchen handles heavy cooking with high heat, oil and smoke. The dry kitchen is for light cooking, preparation and display, often open to the dining area. The pantry is for storage, or a small serving area for drinks and snacks. Each type faces different conditions, so each needs different materials.

Bathrooms also come in different types. The shower room is for daily bathing, so it faces constant water and steam. The powder room is a small guest toilet with only a toilet and basin, so it has less water exposure and more freedom in design. A wet and dry bathroom separates the shower zone from the dry zone with glass or a step. Material choice depends on how much water each zone takes.
