1.Customized kitchen cabinets countertops do not have the same height

When customizing the kitchen cabinet, if you do not specify it, the designer will most likely make the kitchen counter top the same height as the default 80cm. In fact, this design is already outdated!

Many people think that a straight line with the height of the countertop is more beautiful, but this design is very inhumane. The height of 80cm, you need to bend over when washing vegetables or washing dishes. For sedentary people or the elderly with bad lumbar spine, after washing the dishes, they will also have back pain; but the cooking area is superimposed by the height of the pot. , the people who go to the kitchen will cook with their arms crossed!

Therefore, the height of the kitchen countertop must be customized according to the height of the cook. Not only that, the design of the high and low counter-tops is the most scientific. Raise the washing area and lower the cooking area, so that both cooking and washing will feel more comfortable. Taking the height of 165cm as an example, the cooking area is 80, and the washing area is just 90. You only need to change the height of one area.

If the position of the sink area happens to have a window sill, then the window sill should be raised first, and then the countertop should be raised.

2. Customized kitchen cabinets do not do splicing water retaining strips

Because of the quality of the house, the walls are not absolutely vertical, so there will be gaps of different sizes between the kitchen countertop and the wall. In order to save trouble, some decoration companies will install water retaining strips to cover them.

Water retaining strips are not only impractical, but also increase the workload of cleaning. Originally there was only one seam, but it became two seams. The glass glue used for caulking is easy to get damp and moldy and bacteria grow over time, which is neither beautiful nor hygienic.

In fact, when decorating and constructing, you only need to pay attention to making the wall flat enough. The countertop will look much more beautiful without the water retaining strip. The most important thing is that the cleaning and maintenance are simpler, and a rag can be wiped to the end.

In addition, there is another detail that needs to be paid attention to. If you do not make water retaining strips, the wall tiles of the kitchen should be selected as large bricks as possible to avoid unsightly gaps in the small bricks.

3. Don’t just install a ceiling light for custom kitchen cabinets

Lighting is a detail that many people tend to overlook. Most of them habitually choose an aluminum gusset and an integrated ceiling light, which can easily cause “blackness under the light”. Especially in the kitchen with insufficient lighting, when chopping vegetables and washing dishes at night, the light is just blocked by your head, which is why the range hood is equipped with a light.

Distributed lighting is a more user-friendly design, and a chandelier can be added at the position of the sink, so that there is no blind spot lighting in all directions, even at night, it is like daytime, and the cooking experience is more comfortable.

Using waterproof gypsum board ceiling, the installation of down-lights is more beautiful. The aluminum gusset ceiling can also be installed, just dig holes in the aluminum gusset, which can be easily done by ordinary skilled electricians.

Lighting design is often not valued in traditional home decoration, and people only pay attention to the shape of the lamp. In fact, lighting is not just lighting, the overall lighting design is more livable and humane.

4. Customized kitchen cabinets do not have small double slots

Is the kitchen sink single or double? Objectively speaking, of course, dual slots are more practical. The biggest advantage of the double tank is that it can be partitioned. It is more hygienic to soak one and wash one, and there is no need to add a drain basket like a single tank.

But the small double slot is very impractical! Because it is small, it is inconvenient to wash the pot, the whole pot cannot be put down, and the small water plants become idle because they are too small, and the use effect is not as good as a single tank.

If the kitchen at home is big enough, the large double sink is the most practical! It is more than enough to put down the wok on one side, and it is especially convenient to drain the water on the right side. If the kitchen area is small, the practicality of the large single tank is stronger.

As for the choice of over-counter basin or under-counter basin, each has its own advantages, and there is no absolute good or bad. The under-counter basin is more beautiful and less sanitary, but pay attention to the stable installation, install the faucet on the countertop as much as possible, and pay attention to avoid affecting the opening of the window.

5. Custom kitchen countertops do not do too much storage

It is better to minimize the storage of counter-tops in the kitchen, and only keep the most commonly used ones on the counter-tops, and put the rest in the cabinets. It looks refreshing and saves effort for hygiene.

The commonly used condiment bottles only need a storage turntable. The base has a non-slip design, which is very stable.
