When choosing a kitchen cabinets, we are often hesitant about whether to install a wall cabinet, or we will choose to install it by seeing other people’s homes. As for whether to install a wall cabinet or not, I have the following Suggest:
First, the “good” aspect of installing hanging cabinets
1. The installation of wall cabinets can increase the storage space of the kitchen, which can basically be doubled if conditions permit, which greatly improves the storage rate of kitchen utensils such as pots, bowls, scoops, and pots, and effectively reduces the need to put them in the kitchen cabinet. Counter-tops make the kitchen cluttered.
2. As the main furniture of the kitchen, the “integrity” of the kitchen cabinet can greatly increase the decorative effect of the kitchen. Install the same wall cabinet as the floor cabinet, the kitchen has a good integrity, and install the wall cabinet different from the floor cabinet, the kitchen will become an “interesting space”, making cooking, which is somewhat boring, also interesting , If the hanging cabinet is not installed, the decorative effect of the kitchen cabinet on the kitchen will be weakened.
3. Due to the thickness of the floor cabinet, not installing the hanging cabinet will increase the difficulty of cleaning in the higher position of the wall, especially the position close to the top surface, and the installation of the hanging cabinet is generally “connected” with the top surface, so it can be very good. to solve this problem.
4. The installation of the wall cabinet can well shield the necessary pipes, lines, etc., so that the visual effect of the kitchen is more neat and tidy, such as the shielding of the range hood pipes and plug lines, and the shielding of the kitchen flue. Wait, these may be exposed without hanging cabinets, which will affect the beauty of the kitchen.
Second, the “bad” aspect of installing hanging cabinets
1. The cost of making a wall cabinet is definitely higher than that of not making a wall cabinet, which increases the customization cost of the kitchen cabinet, so you must take your own decoration budget into account.
2. If the area of the kitchen is small, especially when the kitchen is narrow, the installation of the wall cabinet will bring some depression to the kitchen. When the wall cabinet is dark, this feeling will be more obvious. There is such a sense of depression, but it will increase the sense of hierarchy and depth of the kitchen because of the thickness of the floor cabinet.
3. If the thickness or installation height of the hanging cabinet is unreasonable, there may be a head bump for taller people, and this situation will definitely not happen if the hanging cabinet is not installed.
Third, Precautions for installation of hanging cabinets
1. The installation height of the hanging cabinet. The suitable height of the lower edge of the hanging cabinet from the ground is more than 1.6m. If it is lower than 1.5m, it will affect the use of the kitchen cabinet and will also produce a certain sense of depression. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the distance between the cabinet and the floor cabinet is about 700mm.
2. The thickness of the hanging cabinet. The best thickness of the hanging cabinet is generally about 300-350mm, which can effectively prevent people with a height of about 1.8 meters from touching their heads when operating on the kitchen counter. 3. The internal partition of the wall cabinet. I think that choosing some cabinets in the wall cabinet to set up upper and lower compartments can not only increase the storage capacity of the cabinets, but also the height of the lower compartments can generally meet the needs of people who are about 1.6 meters. Easy to use.
The above are suggestions and opinions on whether to install wall cabinets or not. According to the area of the kitchen, the demand for kitchen storage space, and the effect of the kitchen environment you want, the one that suits you is the best!
