The kitchen, as the most cluttered and frequently used space in the home, if you do not do a reasonable design when decorating, you will not only be very aggrieved in daily use, but even the mood for cooking will be gone.
In addition, for a family that pursues a high quality of life, the kitchen is a key point that cannot be ignored. Whether it is material selection, design, or functional configuration, it is closely related to the quality of life.
In this issue, I will share 7 kitchen designs, only after staying for a long time will you know how easy it is, even one less will be very uncomfortable to use, hurry up and see if your home has done it.
1. Indispensable fill light
When many people decorate their kitchens, they are accustomed to leaving a main light on the top surface, and think that a higher wattage is enough.
But in fact, only the person who cooks knows how bright the light on the top of the stove is, as long as you stand in front of the stove, there will be a dead angle of light, which will affect the operation.
Therefore, in addition to the main light on the top surface, we also need to add some fill lights when decorating, so as to completely avoid the problem of black under the lamp, specifically in the following two places.
The wall cabinet hides the light
If there is a wall cabinet installed in the kitchen, the light can be hidden under the wall cabinet, which can not only fully ensure the lighting needs of the countertop, but also indirectly improve the atmosphere of the kitchen.
PS: When customizing cabinets, it is necessary to communicate well with the merchant to facilitate the reservation of light troughs to avoid the impact on the later installation.
Lights above the sink
The sink is the most frequently operated place in the kitchen, and it is also the most likely place to cause darkness under the lamp, so it is best to install a fill light on the top. It can be a spotlight or a chandelier, depending on your preference.
Second, the big single slot that will always be argued
Whether it is better to double slots or large single slots, in fact, there has been endless debate on this issue. Some people say that the double tank function is more user-friendly, and it can be drained while cleaning; Some people also say that they are not aggrieved when washing pots in large single tanks.
My opinion is very simple, if the sink position is greater than 85cm, then there is no brainer to choose a double sink basin. It's not that the double-tank basin is easy to use, but that after the large single-tank of more than this size is installed, the proportions will be extremely out of proportion and look very ugly.
If the sink is less than 85cm, then choose a large single tank, which will not only have a harmonious proportion, but also be more comfortable for daily cleaning.
Therefore, whether it is a double-tank basin or a large single-tank basin, there is no need to argue at all, and the most important thing is to combine the actual size of the site. Only in this way can it be used well in life.
3. The table top is designed without water barriers
It is no exaggeration to say that the kitchen is the dirtiest area of the house, and it is also the most difficult area to take care of.
Therefore, if you want to have a quality of life, you must learn to subtract from cleaning. For example, if a water retaining strip is installed in the conventional way, it will invisibly add a lot of hygienic dead ends to the space.
For example, the angle between the water retaining strip and the countertop will produce a lot of dirt with the increase of occupancy time, which is not only unhygienic but also very troublesome to maintain.
Therefore, I prefer to design the countertop with a non-blocking water strip, which not only has a more overall look, but also looks very simple and elegant, and greatly reduces the cleaning workload. Remember to choose a better anti-mildew glue for kitchen and bathroom when caulking, don't use beauty sewing agent, that thing is useless.
In addition, the countertop is designed without water retaining strips, which requires a very high degree of flatness on the wall. Therefore, when laying wall tiles, it is necessary to take this problem into account in advance, and it is recommended to level them first and then apply tiles.
Fourth, don't do skin-feeling cabinet doors
In the past two years, skin-feeling cabinet doors are very popular, compared with other material cabinet doors, the surface is quite delicate and textured, and it is full of luxury at a glance.
However, it is only suitable for use in other rooms, and if it is used in the kitchen, it is basically a handprint when you touch it, and it is very easy to get oily, and it is a pain to clean up.
Some people may say that my kitchen uses skin-feeling cabinet doors, and it would be nice to wipe them every time I finish cooking. In fact, if you're willing to put effort into cleaning, your quality of life is bound to decline.
Therefore, I recommend installing PET gloss doors and double facing doors in the kitchen. The former has a higher surface gloss and is suitable for modern style decoration; The latter has a more delicate surface and is suitable for decoration in the log style.
Fifth, if you can make a drawer, you don't open the door
As far as the current commercial housing is concerned, whether it is a large or small apartment, most of the kitchen area is very limited, and the kitchen has a heavy storage area, so we must make full use of every space when designing cabinets.
For example, the cabinet can be used as a drawer, not an ordinary door opening compartment, although there are many drawers, it will increase the cost of hardware, but in terms of practicality, it can make the storage more refined.
Therefore, except for the cabinet under the sink and at the corner, which must be opened, the rest of the cabinet doors should be made into drawers or pull baskets as much as possible. In this way, it not only avoids waste, but also makes it more convenient to take it daily.
PS: If you are going to make all drawers, the size planning must be considered, and the size of the finished hardware basket and some embedded kitchen appliances should be given priority.
Sixth, the countertop of Ningshe should also be made of high cabinets
Regardless of whether there are many or few small appliances in the kitchen, it is recommended to make a set of tall cabinets, even if it is worth sacrificing a little countertop space.
Compared with high cabinets and wall cabinets, high cabinets not only have super storage power, but also are very convenient for daily access. Especially in the case of having multiple built-in kitchen appliances, it is necessary to improve the integrity and sense of order of the kitchen through a set of tall cabinets.
One thing to note is that if the tall cabinet is ready to store small appliances such as rice cookers, microwave ovens, induction cookers, toasters, etc., remember to pull out the compartment to facilitate power failure and access at any time.
7. Cabinets can have open areas
If you have a large family and cook frequently, you can leave an open area when designing cabinets to easily store a mobile trolley.
Don't think that this design is very frivolous, you must know that the storage power and convenience of a small cart are not comparable to a cabinet at all. For example, spices and vegetables can be put into a small trolley.
In addition, you can also use this space to install pull baskets and trash cans. All in all, it's very flexible and can be adapted to your needs at any time.
Write at the end:
The kitchen is not only about food, but also about a happy family. Therefore, when you decorate and design, you must do more homework and fully consider the living habits and actual needs of the family. Only in this way can you install an ideal kitchen that suits you.
