To decorate the house, the location of the kitchen is particularly crucial. This is the most frequently used place in the home, and it involves water and electricity, and the slightest carelessness will step on the pit. Many times, some seemingly reasonable designs may not be practical at all after the actual check-in.
If you are renovating the kitchen, I advise you to insist on 5 don'ts", not to save money, this is all a lesson given by the people who have come over.
When customizing the countertop, we are used to adding a back strip to the countertop to prevent splashing water and protect the wall, so as not to flow the water on the countertop to the tiles or down the cracks in the wall in daily use. Of course, on the one hand, this is also to facilitate construction, and it is used to cover the gap between the countertop and the wall tiles. However, in the past, the traditional right-angle water retaining strip was not easy to use at all, and it was full of oil stains in less than a year, and the place where the glass glue was beaten was moldy and yellow, which was particularly difficult to clean.
Therefore, if you want to install the rear water strip, don't do it at a right angle, make it into an arc integrated design, wipe it when there is oil stain, no longer worry about the position of the side seam to hide dirt and dirt, and the arc of the table will make the table not easy to store water, which is a new breakthrough in the countertop closing, which solves the problem that the right-angle water retaining strip hides dirt and dirt, and the glue seam is always moldy and yellow.
In the hot summer, cooking is hard work, the kitchen environment is hot and stuffy, but the food cannot be left uncooked, so we have to think about ways to cool down the kitchen. Some units turn on the air conditioner in the living room, and the kitchen will be cooled, but some families may not have air conditioning in the living room itself, so they may consider installing a cooler.
Although the name of Liangba sounds very powerful, its essence is actually an electric fan installed on the ceiling of the kitchen, without any cooling function. When you're cooking, the heat and fumes in the kitchen slowly move upwards, and at the top of the cooler blows the hot air down for you, and in the end, it's likely to get hotter and hotter.
Some coolers are not in a good position when they are installed, and as soon as they are opened, they will affect the flame on the stove, resulting in insufficient concentration of flames, so it is the existence of chicken ribs. Of course, the current Liangba has been somewhat improved, integrating lighting functions and with movable louvers, you can remotely adjust the wind direction, and the experience will be better, but I still think it is better to choose the kitchen air conditioner, and the comfort will be greatly improved.
Kitchen decoration inevitably requires custom cabinets, and the internal structure of the cabinets will determine whether you can cook smoothly, whether the storage is reasonable, and so on. Personally, I suggest that you don't make the cabinet into the form of partition and cabinet door in order to save money, because this will not only limit the internal storage, improper use of space, but also bring a lot of inconvenience to use.
For example, the base cabinet, every time you take something, you have to bend down or even squat, and if you stuff it more inside, you even need a probe to find it. If the wall cabinet is made into a partition, it is very unfriendly to people who are not tall, and you need to move a stool to get something. In this case, it is recommended that you increase your budget appropriately and make a few more drawers or baskets, whether it is storage or pick-up, it will be much more convenient.
Every time you pull it open, the items placed in it will be clear at a glance, even those items placed in the innermost part of the cupboard, they will not be forgotten, and you don't need to lean in for a long time to look for them.
When decorating the kitchen, whether it is the wall or the floor, you should try to avoid pasting small tiles. It's wiser to choose large, light-coloured tiles that are not only easier to care for, but also make the kitchen look bright enough to make meals more enjoyable.
Small-sized tiles are very expensive, and there will be many gaps between tiles. The kitchen itself is a heavily oiled place, and over time, these crevices will undoubtedly be contaminated with oil, increasing the burden of housework. If you encounter a bad bricklayer, the joints are uneven when tiling, and the effect will be ugly.
Whether it is a base cabinet or a wall cabinet, the cabinet door should try to choose a flat one, do not have any shape design, although it looks more unique, but the uneven design will make the edges and seams are easy to have dirt and difficult to clean.
The material of the cabinet door should be selected as high gloss as possible, which is oil-proof and easy to clean. It is not recommended to consider the popular skin film cabinet door, which will be difficult to wipe off if it is stained with oil.
