Five Misunderstandings In Kitchen Cabinet Design

In home improvement, cabinet design has always been the highlight, especially the kitchen cabinets, which is almost a must-do for every family. Accidentally stepping on thunder may reduce the utility of thousands of cabinets every minute. Today, I will tell you how to avoid lightning in cabinet design.

Five minefields for kitchen cabinet design:

1. The position of built-in kitchen furniture is reserved

Stoves and hoods are generally necessary options reserved for the kitchen cabinet position. Generally, the size of the integrated stove is reserved for 90 cm, while the open kitchen generally needs to be reserved for 1 meter. Tower-type and T-type hoods need to maintain a safe distance of more than 50 mm from the left and right hanging cabinets.

The wall cabinet is generally better than 1.6 meters above the ground, and the minimum should not be lower than 1.5 meters, otherwise it will easily hit the head while feeling depressed. The thickness of the wall cabinet is 30-35 cm, and the height from the wash basin is 70 cm.

2. Consideration of the height of cabinet countertops

Generally, the height of the stove on the market is about 85 cm, which is about the position where an ordinary person’s hands are naturally raised. Scientific experiments show that the height of the kitchen workbench for an adult with a height of 1 meter 6 is also exactly 85-90cm. Conversion formula = (height/2+5~10)cm.

3. The lack of partitions in drawers leads to chaotic placement of items

People often ignore the small partition design inside the cabinet, and the kitchen utensils often need to be properly placed (knife, rolling pin, plastic wrap…). If there is no internal partition, it will shake at will during daily use, which is not beautiful and remains safe. Hidden dangers.

Design the small partition design in the cabinet in advance to be organized in daily use. The central area closest to people tends to be used most frequently. An area for tableware, condiments and other areas with high frequency of use can be specially created, generally 60-180 cm from the ground.

4. The corners of the cabinet have a large depth, which wastes space

If the corners of the cabinets are not designed, there will be obvious waste of space. If you place items here, it will be difficult to access in daily use.

Remind everyone that you can use flexible pull baskets to save corner gaps at this time, and easily take items without wasting “dead corner” areas.

5. The upper layer of the wall cabinet cannot be reached

Generally, the height of the wall cabinet will be selected at a position that can be reached by hand. If it is divided into upper and lower compartments, the height of the lower level is about 1.6 meters from the ground, but the second compartment will obviously be out of sight. As mentioned earlier, the height of the wall cabinet should not be less than 1.5 meters. At this time, the only way to take the upper grid items is with the help of “small stools”.

In fact, the lifting basket can easily solve this problem, and the principle is the same as the flexible basket at the corner. It is also worth noting that in general, the upper left position of the general operation area opens the door on the left side, and the upper right position opens the door on the right side, which is the most convenient to use.

Pay more attention to the cabinet design, and life will be more pleasant in the future.
