For a family, the kitchen is an indispensable space, which is used to make three meals a day, so people pay great attention to the decoration of the kitchen. In the decoration of the kitchen, the kitchen cabinet is the top priority. If the kitchen cabinet is done, it can not only store kitchen utensils, make life more convenient, but also make the kitchen more beautiful. So how can kitchen cabinets be designed to be more practical?
First, Determine the location of the integrated stove in advance
Since the socket cannot be directly behind the integrated stove, otherwise the integrated stove cannot be placed against the wall after installation. Therefore, we must first determine the installation position of the integrated stove according to the reserved circuit, and then carry out the overall installation of the kitchen cabinet. In order to avoid remodeling later, not to mention wasting time and energy, but also spending a lot of money.
Second, the layout design of kitchen cabinets
1. In-line kitchen cabinet
In-line kitchen cabinets are more suitable for narrow and long kitchens. In order to be fully functional, the area needs to be at least 4.5 square meters. The width of the aisle should be more than 900mm, so that everyone is relatively comfortable and convenient when walking in the kitchen.
2. L-shaped kitchen cabinet
The L-shaped kitchen cabinet has one more corner side cabinet than the one-shaped kitchen cabinet, and the area is at least about 4.2 square meters. Nowadays, most of the smaller units are L-shaped kitchen cabinets, so that more area can be used.
3. U-shaped kitchen cabinet
The utilization rate of U-shaped kitchen cabinets is higher than that of other types of kitchen cabinets, and the area is at least about 4.3 square meters. It is necessary to pay attention to the cabinet storage design at the corners.
4. Kitchen cabinet + independent island
The combination of kitchen cabinet + independent island has better storage effect, suitable for larger kitchens or open kitchens. The distance between the cooking table and the island should be more than 900mm, so that it is very convenient to open the cabinet door to get things.
Third, try to make high and low countertops
Whether the kitchen is an L-shaped kitchen cabinet or a one-shaped kitchen cabinet, try to make a high and low countertop. The cooktop side is made lower than the sink and cutting area. In this way, you don’t have to bend over when washing and chopping vegetables, and you don’t need to hold your arms when cooking, which makes cooking more convenient and less tiring.
Fourth, install the lining board as much as possible on the table
Although installing a liner will cost a little more, it can increase the load-bearing capacity of the entire countertop. Even if you need to chop bones, you don’t have to worry about the countertop cracking. In addition, if you want to make an under-counter basin, you can also directly use the liner as the load-bearing.
Five, kitchen cabinets can reserve drawers
The kitchen is not that big in the first place. Many people also make kitchen cabinets with flat-opening kitchen cabinet doors, and rarely leave drawers. It is not convenient to squat down to take things, so drawers are made under the kitchen cabinets.
