What Makes A Good Kitchen Design

Everyone who knows life knows the meaning of a kitchen for home. The kitchen is full of love and warmth. But the kitchen is also the place that needs to be designed most. After cooking food, the scattered crushes, cutlery, pots and pans make people collapse. The ideal kitchen design can not only make the kitchen more reasonable to use, but also make it more durable.

1. The Kitchen Work Triangle

If you are like most homeowners, you will probably start your kitchen project by thinking about the color scheme or appliances. However, if you’re a professional designer, the first thing you will think about is the kitchen layout.

First of all, the kitchen is the key area of housework. To reduce fatigue, the design of moving lines is particularly important. It is suggested that the functions should be laid out in the order of "washing, cutting and preparing for frying". It can be designed according to the moving line: taking vegetables in refrigerator-washing in sink-cutting and preparing area-cooking area on stove-loading and preparing area.

2. Reasonably Arrange Sockets

Although the kitchen area is small, there are a lot of electrical appliances, so it is very important to arrange the sockets reasonably. Range hood, steamer, oven, refrigerator, etc., and sockets need to be arranged in advance. In addition, small kitchen appliances should also plan the number and location of sockets before decoration.

At least 6 sockets should be reserved near the countertop, and 2 sockets should be reserved under the sink. The height of the socket is about 20cm above the countertop. At the same time, it should be noted that for the sake of safety, do not install sockets near the stove and sink. It is better to choose a socket with a switch, and it is more convenient to cut off power directly through the switch when not in use.

3. Lighting

Most kitchens will use integrated ceiling directly. When decorating, it is best to add more uniformly distributed downlights on the basis of one main lamp. The lights should be mainly white, and the wattage of bulbs should be larger to increase the lighting effect.

In addition, that light unde the hanging cabinet can provide functional illumination for the kitchen, so that the light source is more focuse. The lamp strip used for functional lighting in the kitchen operation area, which is hidden in the lower area of the cabinet hanging cabinet, is designed to be more concise and advanced.

4. Wall Storage

Besides the cabinet space, the wall space of the kitchen can also be used. Stainless steel pendants can be used on the kitchen wall, which not only has low cost and convenient installation, but also has the characteristics of stain resistance and easy cleaning, and is very suitable for use in the kitchen. They can not only hang pots and spoons and rags, but also put ingredient bottles for easy access, and also make the workbench cleaner and more tidy.

5. About Cleaning

Kitchen countertops want to be easy to take care of, so it is recommended to install water splashback. A garbage crusher can be installed under the sink, which makes it easier to clean up kitchen waste. At the same time, if you don't want to wash dishes, install a dishwasher to avoid the trouble of washing dishes.
