What Are Kitchen Rules?

In interior decoration, many people think that it is not so difficult to decorate the kitchen, as long as the decoration is completed and it has basic functions. It is precisely this idea that leads to a very bad kitchen life experience in the future, and it takes time and money to rework. Therefore, we must pay attention to the kitchen decoration. The kitchen is the busiest room in the home, as well as one of the most frequently remodeled spaces. Unfortunately, the kitchen also can be the most dangerous room in the house, especially for kids and elders.

Following these rules will help keep the kitchen safer.

The kitchen is an area prone to moisture, so the surface decoration materials should be selected from materials with good water resistance, and the floor materials should also be non-slip and water-proof. It is best to choose materials that are easy to clean, prevent moisture and heat. At the same time, the kitchen is also an open flame zone, so the fire resistance of the material is also very important; especially the fire resistance of the material should be paid attention to around the stove.

Good general lighting, supplemented with proper task lighting that is clearly focused on work surfaces, will greatly decrease the chance of injury while preparing a meal. The lighting should be glare-free and even, without producing any shadows on the work surface.

Sometimes, the kitchen counter or cabinet corners are designed to look good. Although they look good, they are easy to be bruised or bruised in the actual operation process. Therefore, it's better to round the corners to reduce the possibility of bruise.

A fire extinguisher should be visibly located near a room exit, away from cooking equipment. Never locate an extinguisher near or under a cooktop or range, the most likely sources of a fire. An extinguisher stored in that area would be unreachable if a fire occurs in those areas.

Setting the range hood must be set according to the height of the user. The best use height is slightly higher than the head, so that it can avoid collision when using, and it is convenient to use. 

Think about how traffic will flow through the kitchen, and design the floorplan to keep that traffic out of the cooking area. For example, avoid putting a range near an entrance or exit.
