Kitchen cabinet, the well-deserved soul of the kitchen. It is also the most detail-oriented place in the whole house decoration. A little carelessness will easily bring inconvenience to future living and use.
1. Don’t do a hanging cabinet with seams, you must do it on the top.
The kitchen has a lot of oil smoke and the hanging cabinets are not hung to the top, which will inevitably lead to a long-term accumulation of sticky greasy oil stains above the hanging cabinets, and there may also be the bodies of small insects.
Some people may say that doing too high is not enough, waste of money, don’t listen to these! The kitchen is always full of stuff, and leaving some infrequently used items on the top floor is better than leaving it empty to allow it to accumulate oil.
In another case, it was originally designed without seams, but was finally made with seams. Under normal circumstances, custom-made kitchen cabinets will make a sealing plate above the hanging cabinet. This sealing plate is specially used to solve the gap left by the wall, the uneven roof, installation and measurement errors.
2. Do not do other countertops, only recognize quartz countertops.
There are many types of countertops, including acrylic, slate, stainless steel, etc., but it is recommended to choose quartz countertops.
It is not a perfect type of countertop, but it should be regarded as the most balanced type of countertop. In terms of economy, durability, aesthetics, easy cleaning, and anti-manufacturing ability, it is more suitable for families who use kitchens with high frequency. Pure white quartz The stone countertops are gorgeous.
As for the shortcomings, in fact, there are some ways to avoid them.
For example, in terms of resistance to chopping, it is not as good as stainless steel countertops, but the reinforcement of the cabinet or the uniform force of the cabinet can overcome this problem.
For example: in terms of ease of cleaning, it is not as good as slate, but it can be done with stone cleaning powder.
3. Do not do small double tanks, prefer stepped sinks.
Everyone is familiar with this statement. It is not easy to wash a double-slot pan, and a large single-slot can hold the pot.
Everything is not absolute. This statement is indeed more applicable to most families, but if you like double tanks, you have the habit of sorting and cleaning. The kitchen space at home is large, and it is also possible to make large double tanks. Moreover, even for ordinary families, the large single tank is not the only option that can put down the pot, and there is also a stepped sink, which can not only put the pot, but also realize partition cleaning.
4. Do not make an over-counter basin, but a reinforced under-counter basin
Without hesitation, it must be the under-counter basin. Everyone knows that the under-counter basin has no sanitary corners; it is more convenient to clean the countertop, and the water stains on the countertop can be wiped directly into the sink with a rag.
5. Don’t do the front water retaining edge, the rear water retaining edge can be saved.
Regarding the water retaining edge, the first thing to deny is the front water retaining edge, because there is no practical use, the kitchen countertop is only a little clear water, even if it flows down, it will not hurt to the floor.
6. Do not make fancy cabinet doors, double-veneer panels are cheap and attractive
There are many types of cabinet doors, among which molded doors, skin-feel doors, and double-veneer panels are currently the three most popular door panels.
Among them, the double-decorated door panel is the most popular, because it is the easiest to maintain, and the most economical and durable type of cabinet door. The advantage of the molded door is that it can be shaped, but in general, it is really not used except for individual style needs.
The skin-sensing door is the best looking and feels the best, but unfortunately it is easy to leave fingerprints.
7. Don’t do the exposed handle, do the invisible handle
Another big factor that affects the appearance is whether there is a handle.
There are many ways to eliminate the handle:
Built-in handle, but not concise enough, easy to cut hands.
Cabinet door bouncer, high damage rate.
You can also change the height of the cabinet door as a handle.
8. No traditional faucet is installed, but a pull-able one
In fact, ordinary faucets also have a splash-proof function. Now, there are few kitchen faucets without bubblers. The purpose of changing it to a pull-out is mainly to make it more convenient to wash things and wash the table. If it is in the decoration stage, it is recommended to install one. If the renovation stage has passed, you can start with a faucet extender, which is very cheap and can achieve the same effect.
9. Don’t do the same height table, high and low table
A higher kitchen countertop is more comfortable for washing and chopping vegetables, and a lower cook-top is more comfortable for cooking. Therefore, if you have the conditions, don’t make a table with an equal height, try to make a high and low table. However, it should be noted that when making kitchen cabinets, the primary consideration is to make the active line of washing, cutting and frying comfortable and spacious.
10, do not install the door, install a large drawer.
In the base cabinet with the door on the opposite side, you have to squat down to get something, and then rummage through a pile of things on the partition. The space utilization rate is not high. The drawer can be bent over and taken out, the items are clear at a glance, and it is more convenient and easy to take. Therefore, it is recommended that you make more drawers and less side doors. In a kitchen, except for the side doors under the sink and at the corners, all other places are recommended to be drawers.
