厨房装修避雷指南：有哪些厨房装修项目是一定要做的？有些哪些厨房装修项目一定不能做？

For three meals a day, in addition to relying on exquisite cooking skills, you must have a good kitchen.

 

 

Pots and utensils fight each other, the counter is messed up, and I don't know where to put the cleaned tableware... In short, when it comes to cooking, you get angry - have you had a similar experience?

 

In fact, whether the kitchen is easy to use or not, the design layout is the first. We have explained the layout design of the kitchen for you in the previous article. In addition to determining the layout of the kitchen structure, good detail design will also greatly improve your efficiency in the kitchen, while poor design will disrupt the whole rhythm of cooking.

 

Eano Home Renovation has compiled the following "kitchen renovation projects with a 100% regret rate" for you , let's take a look at what they are!

 

1. Unreasonable layout that does not conform to operating habits

 

If you find yourself always in a mess when cooking, you can't reach the required condiment bottle during the cooking process, the cut vegetables are dripping all the way to the stove, and once there are more than 1 pot on the stove, the degree of confusion It may be doubled... Then, the layout of your kitchen, especially the operation line, is likely to be poorly planned.

 

 

What is the kitchen operation line? From washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, preparing ingredients, to cooking, to serving dishes, this overall movement route is the operation line of the kitchen.

 

 

A reasonable kitchen operation line should be planned according to the kitchen owner's operating habits and ease of use.

 

Generally speaking, the operation process of Chinese families' usual cooking is as follows: take ingredients → wash vegetables → cut vegetables → cook

 

Then, according to this process, the kitchen operation line should be: taking materials → cleaning → preparing materials → cooking

 

 

From picking materials to cooking, the whole process is completed in one go, without fighting each other, cooking is smooth, and the efficiency is increased by 100%! Note that the kitchen operation line we mentioned here is applicable to all kitchen layouts, that is to say, whether your home is L-shaped, double-line, or other, you should put the operation line into the consideration of the decoration layout design. Inside.

 

Plus, here's a tip for kitchen layouts: The Kitchen Triangle

 

Regardless of the layout of your home's kitchen, keep in mind the very important "kitchen triangle" - this is the passage you take between the refrigerator, the stove or oven, and the sink, and the distance between the two Neither should exceed 6 feet. The closer this angle is to a right angle, the more efficient you will cook.

 

Of course, this channel should not be too narrow . If only one person usually serves the spoon, the aisle should be at least 36 inches wide, and the cooking area should be at least 42 inches wide; if two people are often cooking together, the cooking area should be at least 48 inches wide .

 

In addition, I want to remind everyone that there is a step of serving dishes after cooking (if you directly serve the pot, you can ignore it). Therefore, on the edge of the cooking area, it is best to leave a shoulder-width area for serving and placing dishes.

 

 

 

2. The hanging cabinet is not hit the top

 

If the wall cabinet in the kitchen is not hit to the top, not only is it easy to accumulate dust, it is difficult to clean, and it is easy to hide countless small strongmen, but also in a family with cats, once the cat owner jumps on it, it will be difficult to get down.... (Don't ask the editor why I know, it's all tears)

 

 

Therefore, the wall cabinets in the kitchen must be topped.

If you feel that it is too high to reach the top and it is difficult to reach things, you can install a drop-down basket that is very friendly to small people.

 

 

3. Lockers have no drawers or turntables

 

Many people's kitchen storage cabinets are a cabinet door, which is large and deep inside. Every time I rummage through boxes and cabinets, I make a mess.

 

It is recommended to make drawers or install turntables for the lockers on the ground, and classify the items in layers, so that they are neat and orderly at once.

 

The kitchen base cabinet with built-in drawers is added, does it look neat and easy to use!

 

In this way, tableware such as chopsticks, spoons and forks can be placed on the top layer, bowls or plates, etc. can be placed in the middle, and larger pots and utensils can be placed on the bottom layer.

 

 

For cabinets in the corners, a pull-out turntable can be installed, which not only reduces the waste of space, but also increases the convenience of operation.

 

4. There is no locker for placing small appliances

 

There are so many useful small appliances! In addition to Instant Pot and air fryer, there are also wall breakers necessary for healthy life, soymilk machines, electric stew pots, electric kettles, coffee machines, etc., which are necessary for Chinese kitchens.

 

Except for the few things you use every day, if you put all the small appliances on the kitchen counter, it will definitely be a mess.

 

 

Make a locker of about 60cm, make reasonable use of the vertical space, and store all the small appliances in it, which can not only clear the countertop, but also facilitate access.

 

5. No large single-slot sink and pull-out faucet

 

If someone asks if the sink in the kitchen should be a single sink or a double sink? That must be a big single tank pool!

 

 

Add a drain basket to instantly transform into a dual-slot, highly usable and spacious, and easy to clean up!

 

If you're worried about not having the right-sized drain basket, IKEA drain racks find out! Foldable, stackable, all kinds of styles are available, not expensive!

 

 

 

As for why you should choose a pull-out faucet, there is no need to explain - the pull-out faucet can rush to any dead corner, and it is so refreshing to use!

 

6. All countertops are at the same height, no high and low countertops

 

Many people do not understand the high and low countertops, and feel that the countertops are all flush, look neat and easy to clean. In fact, once you use the high and low countertops, you will understand that this is the most ergonomic and convenient design.

 

What is a high and low table?

 

The high and low countertops are the kitchen countertops, which are divided into high and low according to the operation purpose. It is best to have three height differences: the sink is the highest, the countertop is medium, and the cooking area is the lowest.

 

 

The reason for this setting is that the sink in the preparation area is recessed, and the actual operating area is lower than the countertop; while the cooking area needs to add a stove and pots, which is the real height of use. If all the countertops are the same height, then you have to bend over when washing vegetables, it is easy to be out of reach when cooking, and your arms are very sore, which is very unfavorable for use.

 

 

Generally speaking, it is best to have a difference of about 8cm between the high and low countertops. You can adjust the height of the preparation area (sink) and the cooking area respectively according to the height of you and your family and based on the appropriate height of the countertop. In this way, after a meal is cooked, the waist will not be sore, and the hands will not be tired, not to mention easy!

 

 

A good meal requires not only good cooking skills and easy-to-use cookware, but also good kitchen layout and design.
