Whether there will be after-sales problems with custom kitchen cabinets, in fact, is often decided from the beginning. If the merchant who customized the kitchen cabinet for you did not measure and design it well, how could the later installation go smoothly. Although consumers do not know how to design kitchen cabinets, the size of the kitchen cabinets must be known.
1. Reasonable size of kitchen cabinets
The basic concept of kitchen design is “triangular work space”, so the sink, refrigerator and stove must be placed in the appropriate position, ideally in a triangle shape. At the beginning of the design work, it is ideal to base the design on your daily “cooking routine”.
The layout of the kitchen is arranged along the operation process of food storage and preparation, washing and cooking, and should form a triangle along the three main equipments namely stove, refrigerator and sink. In the terminology of architectural design, this is called the design triangle, because these three functions usually cooperate with each other, so they should be placed at a suitable distance to save time and effort.
2. The width and distance are important
There should be a passage space between the edge of the kitchen cabinet and the wall or the measuring kitchen cabinet. It is reasonable to adjust the distance to 76-91 cm, so that the user will not be too close or too far when taking and placing food, and not too close when turning around. It will seem too cramped. The location of the pool may be dictated by drains, plumbing fixtures, etc. In order to facilitate use, effectively utilize space, and reduce reciprocation, it is recommended to store the boxes, knives, detergents, etc. for storing vegetables on both sides of the stove with the sink as the center, leaving enough space for placing pots, shovels, dishes, plates , bowls and other utensils.
3. The size of the hanging cabinet is asked by the university
The depth range of the hanging cabinet is 30-40 cm. The door handle of the hanging cabinet door should be at a height that is convenient for frequent users, and the convenient storage place can be used to place common items. Most of the wall cabinets in the early kitchen were adapted to the height of the kitchen ceiling, which often caused inconvenience to users. Today’s kitchen design, regardless of the height of the kitchen, can be customized according to the height of the user, which is a real “people-oriented” modernization.
4. The height of the kitchen cabinet depends on the size
The height of the workbench is set according to the height of the human body, and the height of the kitchen cabinet is suitable for the height of those who use the kitchen frequently. The height of the countertop is 80-85 cm; the distance between the worktop and the bottom of the hanging cabinet is about 50-60 cm; and the height of the cooktop for the double-sided stove is recommended not to exceed 60 cm.
Kitchen countertops should be designed as different heights as possible according to different work areas. Some countertops are better positioned lower, if you like to make pastry, then the worktop that is often used to make pastry can be lowered by 10 cm. However, in the design of kitchen cabinets, you can’t pursue high and low changes too much, especially in smaller kitchens, too many changes will affect the overall beauty.
Custom kitchen cabinets require a ruler before they are actually made. This step is done well, so that the design size of the back can be more suitable for the kitchen, and it can truly be “tightly fit”. Therefore, we must understand the size of the kitchen cabinet before going to measure, and carefully communicate with the designer the size of the kitchen cabinet during the measurement process.
