For the design and decoration of the kitchen, we must grasp the principle of practicality and beauty. Therefore, in the kitchen decoration, we should first consider the following aspects:

(1) should ensure that the kitchen has enough operating space

Because in the kitchen will often have to wash and cut food work, so the kitchen should have a certain amount of operating space, and there should also be a place to shelve tableware, cooked food turnover, as well as storage of cooking utensils and ingredients should be reasonably designed to ensure that the kitchen has a complete Designed to ensure that the kitchen has a full range of functions.

(2) the kitchen should also have a relatively large storage space

In the kitchen should try to use a combination of hanging cabinets, hanging shelves, so that you can reasonably utilize all the space to store items. Cabinet cupboard below the part of the storage of bottles, cans, rice, vegetables and other items, the extension of the operating table can be stored in oil, sauce, sugar and other condiments and tableware, in the sideboard, gas cooker, sink can also be used for storage of items underneath the design of the storage and retrieval of goods are very convenient.

(3) the kitchen should have sufficient space for activities

Reasonable spatial layout in the kitchen, that is, along the food storage, cleaning and cooking process, should be along the stove, refrigerator and washing pool to form a triangle, they should be placed in the appropriate location, the distance between the best not more than one meter, so that the function of the three can be compatible with each other, and suitable distance can be saved a lot of time and labor. Can save a lot of time and labor. Among these three, the location of the washing pool is generally determined by the drainage pipe, lead pipe fixtures, in order to

People easy to use, effective use of space, should be stored in the vegetable boxes, knives, cleaners and other items are placed near the washing pool. Sufficient space should be left on both sides of the stove for pots, pans, spatulas, plates, dishes, bowls and other utensils. The refrigerator, on the other hand, can be rationalized according to the location of both.

2, the specific layout of the kitchen

The layout of the kitchen work area should be designed according to the size and shape of the kitchen. If the kitchen area is relatively small, then the workbench should be arranged along the wall in a zigzag pattern, so that all the work can be completed in a straight line to play a space-saving role. However, the workbench should not be extended too long, otherwise it will reduce the efficiency of the work, in the case of not hindering the operation, try to arrange a panel that can be adjusted or folded, in case of need. If it is a larger area of the kitchen, it can be arranged along the two walls of the L-shaped, this form of layout allows several people to operate at the same time, but it is best not to L-shaped side of the design is too long, so as not to reduce the efficiency of the work. You can also put the kitchen along the wall in a U-shaped expansion, it is best to put the sink at the bottom of the U-shaped, the dining area and cooking area on both sides, so that the sink, refrigerator and stove composed of a triangle, the distance between the U-shaped to 120 ~ 150 cm is appropriate, this design requires that the cabinets are equipped with a full range of relatively large space needed.

Additionally, there is the island kitchen design, that is, in the kitchen placed on an independent platform, family and friends can be on the platform **** with the preparation of meals or chatting, due to the kitchen more than one platform, so the kitchen will require a larger space, because now many of the area of the housing is not very large, so this layout is rarely used in general.

In the design of the kitchen, kitchenware in the countertops and hanging cabinets should be selected to suit the height of the most frequent users of the kitchen is appropriate, the height of the worktop should be about 85 centimeters; worktops and hanging cabinets at the bottom of the distance of about 55 centimeters or so; two-eye cooker stove countertop height should not exceed 60 centimeters. Hanging cabinet door handle to facilitate the height of the most frequent users, and easy access to the storage place is best used to place regular supplies.

Length can be based on the size of the kitchen space to develop specific dimensions, so that users feel comfortable. Processing operation of the desk cabinet, its height, width and sink specifications should be unified, and the sink connected to the workbench also need to have the same height, so that you can visually form a unified impression, does not appear cluttered.

In the modern kitchen design, there is the use of irregular shaped cabinets for a bold combination of matching, often giving a strong imagination and creativity. In addition, there are different decorations such as protruding operating platforms, curved cabinet doors, corner protruding deformations, free-standing overhanging brackets, decorative brackets made of a combination of glass and metal materials, and well-matched lighting, etc., which can make the kitchen full of modern feeling and add some softness.

Nowadays, due to changes in dietary structure and cookware, there will not be much grease in the kitchen, so in the kitchen decoration, you can put laminate wood flooring into the kitchen, replacing the previous floor tiles. In wall decorations, wood siding, glass and metal local accents can add beauty to the modern kitchen.

When choosing cabinets, you can also choose soft imitation wood grain cabinet doors, crystal panels and other mid-to-high-end materials of finished cabinets, although the price is higher, but can make your kitchen to get a distinctive decorative effect.

Seamless artificial stone is also the main material for cabinet countertops, because of the unique advantage of seamless splicing, it has now gradually replaced natural stone and fireproof board.

Accessory decoration in the kitchen is also necessary, kitchen pendants can be placed spices, chopsticks and kitchen knives, so that the kitchen space becomes neat and orderly, and some beautiful and durable seasoning jars, chopstick cages, in addition to the practical function, but also has a decorative role.

3, kitchen decoration tips

Generally, the kitchen area is not large, so it gives the impression that the design and decoration are very easy, but because the kitchen bits and pieces of things are particularly large, so the real planning will have a lot of tedious little things, the following

These should be aware of the small things are listed, to provide a reference for your decoration:

(1) The kitchen decorative materials should be colorful and elegant, smooth surface, easy to clean. The ground is suitable for non-slip, easy to clean ceramic block material ground, avoid using mosaic paving. Because although the mosaic has a water-resistant anti-slip properties, but its area is too small, a lot of gaps, easy to hide dirt, and also very difficult to clean.

(2) kitchen roof, wall should choose fire, heat, easy to clean materials, such as glazed ceramic tile walls, aluminum ceiling, etc., in the renovation of the kitchen should also be considered not to affect the lighting, ventilation and lighting.

(3) Kitchen lighting needs to be divided into two levels: one is the lighting of the entire kitchen, and one is the lighting of washing, preparation and operation. And to ensure that the light is sufficient, so it is best to choose white light bulbs, otherwise affect the color judgment, even if the food is cooked can not tell. At the same time, we must also avoid the light produces shadows.

(4) The amount of garbage produced in the kitchen every day is relatively large, and the smell is also relatively large, so it is best to put the garbage cans in a place that is easy to dump and relatively hidden.

(5) refrigerator, oven, microwave oven, dishwasher, etc. should be arranged in the appropriate location, easy to open and use, and to ensure that the kitchen door to open the refrigerator door to open the door does not conflict with each other. Refrigerator placement should not be close to the stove, because the heat generated by the stove will affect the temperature inside the refrigerator; refrigerator should not be too close to wash the pool, to avoid splashing out of the water caused by the refrigerator leakage.

(6) The height of the range hood should be based on the height of the user, and the distance between the range hood and the cooktop should not exceed 60 centimeters. The distance between the cooktop and the sink should not be too far or too close.

(7) Before decorating the kitchen, you need to think about the installation of the heater in the kitchen to prevent the cabinet door, drawer and its collision friction, because there are more electrical appliances in the kitchen, so we should consider reserving more jacks, and the installation of leakage protection to prevent leakage of electricity injury.

(8) Kitchen utensils should not be exposed. Kitchen pots, bowls, pots, bottles and jars of items are many and varied, if exposed, easy to stain and difficult to clean. Therefore, it is best to keep these items closed, a variety of utensils items are stored in the cabinet in separate categories.
