1. What is a kitchen cabinet moving line?
What is a kitchen line? The so-called moving line refers to the activity route from one area to another area. In the kitchen area, it refers to the activity route from one functional area to another functional area. The more reasonable the moving line is, the more convenient the operation of the kitchen will be. The operation sequence of the kitchen is generally divided into 5 steps: taking the ingredients – processing the ingredients – preparing the ingredients – cooking the ingredients – loading the plate. After knowing this order, we know how to design the cabinet moving line: it must be simple, and the steps should not be too complicated, too complicated will easily cause confusion in the moving line, which will lead to inconvenience in cooking.
2. The principle of kitchen moving line
So how should we design the selection of moving lines?
The kitchen line should be based on three principles:
Practicality: Because the space in the kitchen is limited, we should be relatively more practical in the design of the moving lines, reducing the route for the operator to walk back and forth in different areas of the kitchen, so that every moving line becomes practical.
Rationality: The so-called rationality means that the area where the operator moves back and forth in the kitchen is more coherent and smooth, so as to avoid complicated routes.
Aesthetics: The so-called aesthetics is to make the kitchen layout more refreshing and clean, so that the whole is more tidy, so that the kitchen does not look messy, so as not to be found when looking for items.
3. How to design the kitchen moving line
U-shaped kitchen: The moving line of a U-shaped kitchen is the most convenient. Because the three walls are connected to each other, making the kitchen more convenient. The area of the U-shaped kitchen is more clearly divided: washing area, cooking area, operating table, refrigerator/storage cabinet. It is very convenient for the operator, and the completeness of the area also means more convenience and saves unnecessary time. Larger space: U-shaped cabinets are more suitable for kitchens with larger space. Due to the larger design area, there will be relatively sufficient space for activities. If it is paired with light colors, it will make the kitchen look very clean and tidy as a whole. High space utilization rate: Why is the space utilization rate high? In the corners with low utilization rate, the design of corner pull baskets perfectly solves the shortage of kitchen storage space. At the same time, due to the addition of pull baskets, The storage area of the kitchen is expanded, and the space rate of the kitchen design can be maximized.
In-line kitchen: The in-line cabinet is close to the wall, so it requires less space, is more coherent in operation, more reasonable in the moving line, and more convenient to cook. When setting, you must pay attention to the rationalization of the moving line: do not reverse the order of picking vegetables-washing vegetables-cutting vegetables-cooking vegetables, otherwise it will easily cause lack of power.
Corridor-type kitchen: Corridor-shaped kitchen, on the walls on both sides of the kitchen, divides the storage area-preparing area-cooking area into two parts. The corridor row kitchen shortens the straight-line distance of the work area. Compared with the one-shaped kitchen, the corridor-row kitchen is more flexible, and it can take into account both sides when cooking.
L-shaped kitchen: The working area of an L-shaped kitchen starts from the corner of the wall and expands to both sides to form an L-shaped shape. The L-shaped layout is relatively space-saving. Although the L-shaped kitchen saves space, it must be distributed reasonably to avoid one side being too long, otherwise it will easily cause the area of the operating table to be small and inconvenient to cook. The space in the corner must be used to maximize the use of space.
