Your kitchen is so messy, is it worthy of its land and money?

I have long heard that my friend Z's wife is a good cook. Yesterday, Xiao Xuan finally got what he wanted, and went to Xiao Z's house for a meal ~ tut tut, which was delicious as never before!

However, Gus always hears complaints from his friends at dinner. Daughter-in-law seldom cooks since she moved into her new home. Xiao Xuan is very puzzled. It stands to reason that the new house has just moved in, and cooking should be handy!

So, as a buddy, for the happiness of my brothers, I was honored to visit their kitchens (I want to reiterate here: I definitely don't want to eat those delicious foods often, really, and wipe my mouth). Well, four words:

Extremely tragic! No wonder you don't like cooking! As for the pictures, because the scene is too beautiful (hun) and chaotic (chaotic), I won't put them here. )

The cupboard is too high to reach!

Kitchen spices are piled all over the countertop, and pots and pans are everywhere. ...

The console is not set properly, so you have to run around cooking. ...

It is said that housing prices are so high now, especially in developed areas like Shanghai where Xiao Z lives. Buy a house, Pia! ~ the budget of the whole family has been posted, and how many mortgages to bear is enough for a small apartment. As an important occasion in the family, the kitchen should undertake the warm and happy mission of starting a family. If you don't do pre-planning, the low utilization rate will be really sad!

I carefully studied Steven's previous lectures and summarized several experiences in house decoration. There are several problems in my friend's kitchen: 1, unreasonable wiring, 2, no consideration for storage, and 3, the height of cabinets is also the owner's problem.

Generally speaking, all the kitchens we need cannot escape these three points:

How durable is it?

In fact, most of the older generation will have special requirements in this regard. I believe many friends who read this article are around 30 to 40 years old, and everyone at home should be impressed by the old-fashioned artificial stone countertops. This material was popular for a long time when it first appeared. But in the end, we found that this material is very fragile, so now when choosing our own decoration materials, we generally don't choose artificial stone as the countertop. Decoration is not a trivial matter, and a lot of money has been invested. Some people don't want the kitchen to take longer when they are decorating.

Easy to manage.

I have a deep understanding of this little guy. As a senior food lover, how can you not expect yourself to have a full meal in the kitchen and on the stage like a small master in China?

But the reality is too cruel. After giving full play to my knife skills, I was waiting for a kitchen full of bottles, oil stains and a sink full of pots and pans. So how to make the kitchen easy to take care of is also very important for future life.

Comfortable to use

This is magnified a lot in a child's wife. She is petite, but the kitchen countertop is a little high, and cooking is very tired, not to mention the height of the hanging cabinet is too high to reach.

How to solve these public needs?

I. Planning and layout of the kitchen

traffic line

The moving line of the kitchen is generally divided into "washing, cutting and burning", which is also one of the most basic principles of kitchen layout. Then according to the structure of the kitchen, the overall layout of the kitchen will be "one-line, L-shaped, U-shaped, island-shaped, etc." According to different huxing.

Therefore, as long as you grasp the core of the kitchen line, refrigerator materials-sink cleaning-console processing-cooker processing, as long as the order of these four parts is not chaotic, no matter which structure your kitchen is mentioned above, you can handle it well.

Of course, in practical use, the larger the operating space, the more comfortable it is. After all, there must be room for washing and cutting vegetables. Therefore, if conditions permit, the U-shaped kitchen is more efficient and basically does not need to move too much.

measure

In addition to the large layout, the size of the cabinet is also a crucial place, and a reasonable operating height will make the cook (chef) more handy.

This is a proportional relationship between the height and the height of the cabinet countertop. Please arrange the appropriate height according to your own situation. Some people may ask, why do you need this height ratio? Let me ask this question. At first glance, it's just children's paper that doesn't usually leave the kitchen. Let's take a look at the picture below and feel it:

Only by choosing the right proportion, going to the kitchen will not be a tiring thing, otherwise you will have to endure all kinds of suffering within 2 or 3 hours of cooking. No wonder my friend's wife doesn't like going to the kitchen

Second, the selection of top and wall materials of cabinets

cupboard

Besides, the choice of materials, color and style of cabinets, cabinets and countertops is often a headache. Different styles have different preferences. But there are still some commonalities for reference.

The color matching of cabinets must match the big environment, and the top cabinet can use light color to brighten the value of the whole kitchen. For example, a small kitchen with a large area, or a kitchen with poor lighting, do not use a large dark cupboard door.

Secondly, the color of the basement should be as dark as possible, and the stain resistance is really worry-free.

For the door handle, try to choose a hidden handle or a rebound type to prevent bumping.

Here is an introduction to the popular hidden handle structure, which is the aluminum alloy groove shown in the above picture. After being embedded in the cupboard, it is convenient for users to buckle the cupboard door with their fingers, resulting in a handle effect. The advantage is that there is no actual handle outside, so it won't be hit by children. It is very convenient to wipe along the rag.

in public

The main choice of countertops is undoubtedly quartz stone (hardness, dirt resistance, high temperature resistance and easy care).

The stainless steel countertop looks beautiful, but it is easy to scratch if it is not wear-resistant, and it is easy to pick up the bag after a long time, and it is easy to make a lot of noise when cutting vegetables.

Many people must look forward to this beautiful face value on the solid wood countertop, but should we think twice about the high temperature and humidity in the kitchen? Moreover, it is easy to leave traces after the surface bumps.

It is a good choice to pursue the value of fireproof board. Fireproof board, that is, particleboard (man-made board), has obvious advantages over solid wood in price, with more patterns of wood grain and better surface fire resistance, oil stain resistance and cleanliness.

The disadvantage is that it is difficult to achieve seamless splicing because of the material itself, and it may be degummed and deformed after a long time.

Beautiful marble countertops are beautiful but not suitable for lazy cancer patients. It is easy to crack, and natural stone has pores. After a long time, stains can easily penetrate into holes.

In addition to the above options, there must be some abundant funds. I want some materials with better performance, so what else can I choose? Of course, please watch the "Rock Slab", a very popular material recently, which is in place in all aspects, even the chopping board is reserved for you.

In a popular phrase, there is nothing wrong with it except "expensive".

A floor/wall

The material selection of kitchen walls and floors is also particular. If it is a material, you will generally choose tiles. Of course, ceramic tile is the most cost-effective and practical material.

The same color system should not only be resistant to dirt and slip, but also conform to the general environment. In principle, the color can be darker and the lines can be richer. If you choose light-colored bricks in the kitchen, you have to wait for cleaning every day. )

Then, in the choice of walls, Pangpang suggested that you can choose some contrasting colors to brighten the face value of the whole kitchen. Light-colored tiles or log-colored fire boards are good choices.

Lacquered glass is also a good choice, which is related to the overall style.

top surface

If the top is an open kitchen, gypsum board ceiling is the first choice. Don't ask me why, because it looks good. After all, the performance of the range hood is great now, and there is no such problem as you are worried about.

Third, the storage space design

Kitchen space is limited. Besides the reasonable arrangement and layout mentioned above can increase the effective space of the kitchen, in fact, some small things can also help us increase the efficiency of the kitchen space.

All kinds of shelves can effectively divide large pieces of space into smaller spaces, which is convenient for us to stack small objects together.

Hooks such as Yi or Bass can extend the display space from the desktop to the wall.

There are also all kinds of cabinet hardware, especially the corner monster (which can make full use of the corner space of the cabinet effortlessly)

There are all kinds of flying saucers and small monsters in the hanging cabinet (used in the case of limited height, effectively making up for the height difference, so that short people can easily get things in the high cabinet)

Well, with this kitchen planning artifact, your kitchen pattern must be super perfect, the person in charge of cooking in your family must be in a happy mood, and all your meals must be whining. As the saying goes, the kitchen is well decorated and the wife cooks well. ...
