As the saying goes, people live on food, and food civilization accompanies other human civilizations and has been spread throughout the history of countries around the world.

In order to improve production efficiency, people with advanced wisdom will naturally not ignore all aspects of cooking.

As the most important furniture in the kitchen, cabinets are closely related to every cooking experience and happiness in life, regardless of layout design, aesthetic style or material hardware.

Therefore, before we start decoration and design, we should first understand which cabinet layout is best for our ideal kitchen life.

1. First, let’s talk about what are the general layouts of kitchen cabinets?

1. Straight-line cabinet layout is very suitable for some small apartments where the kitchen is designed in the corridor, or where the kitchen is small and long and the kitchen is connected to a living balcony.

If there are door openings on both sides, there is enough space on the left and right, and you can even make a double-in-one layout.

Pros: Best for tight spaces.

There are no obstacles to move around during operation, each cabinet can be fully utilized, and all equipment is clearly visible.

Disadvantages: There is generally not enough work surface, and there are generally not too many cabinets. Families with a little more kitchen supplies may feel that it is not enough.

Designers suggest: This straight-line kitchen design is best used in small apartments, single apartments and other types of houses.

Of course, this type can also be used for small kitchens that want to save space or have been remodeled by yourself.

2. The L shape is suitable for a rectangular kitchen with an independent kitchen and only one door opening.

Make full use of corner space.

Advantages: It can make full use of the operating space in the middle area and form a triangular area during the process of washing, cutting and frying. It is the most reasonable kitchen operating principle.

Disadvantages: The corner parts of wall cabinets and floor cabinets can easily form a visual and usable blind spot, and the applicable corner pull baskets are mostly imported products with higher prices.

Designer suggestions: Currently, L-shaped kitchens are the most common. Families of medium size and with a medium number of family members are more suitable for L-shaped designs.

3. A U-shaped kitchen enclosed on three sides has more countertops and can satisfy more functions. However, if the kitchen is small, it can only accommodate one person.

If the kitchen is larger, it can be operated by multiple people at the same time, which is very convenient.

Advantages: Refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, and even washing machines can be embedded in cabinets, making the kitchen more integrated.

Disadvantages: The shortcomings are similar to the L-shaped one. It is difficult to deal with the two corners. You need to consider whether to add a corner basket.

Designer suggestions: U-shaped cabinets have certain requirements for kitchen space. Small kitchens are not suitable for this design and will appear crowded.

Families with many family members and large kitchens are most suitable to choose this kind of cabinet. Firstly, it can accommodate more things, and secondly, the family can cook without being tight on space.

4. Island type If it is a large apartment and the kitchen is large enough, or it is an ordinary apartment, you can open up the kitchen and even make an island kitchen. You can make center meals. The function of the island is powerful. In addition to storing things, you can also wash fruits and bake them.

Water, used for breakfast or various food preparation operations.

Advantages: The kitchen is no longer a kitchen in the traditional sense, but more like a place for communication and rest, so that cooks are no longer lonely and can reduce the boring feeling of work.

Disadvantages: It requires a large space. If the kitchen is not large enough, it needs to be connected to the living room, and the overall investment is relatively high.

The designer recommends: Generally, villas will choose an open island kitchen, which is beautiful and atmospheric and also makes you feel the warmth of home.

However, I have to remind you that such a kitchen does not control oil fumes very well, and it is not suitable for families who often cook.

2. There are several things to note when designing cabinets. 1. When designing cabinets, the side of the cabinet against the wall must take into account the protrusion of the door line. This is to prevent our cabinet drawers, baskets, cabinet doors, etc. from opening and closing.

Impact.

2. There are many interior styles of cabinets. There are special places for dishes, pots, pots and other utensils, as well as places for food and cleaning supplies.

Therefore, the accessories are different for every kitchen.

It is recommended to choose corresponding functional accessories and do not assemble them yourself.

3. Because the overall cabinet needs to install power equipment, we need to reserve some socket locations, but remember that the sockets should be kept away from water sources.

Other things to note about sockets are that they should be installed reasonably according to the electrical appliances installed in the cabinets.

4. When designing cabinets, one side is often against the wall. In this case, when opening the cabinet door or drawer, you need to consider extra space to avoid the opening and closing being affected and unable to be used normally.

Finally, no matter what kind of design the cabinet layout adopts, it should be user-friendly, that is, to make it easier to use when we cook in Japanese style.

Even if the design is beautiful and gorgeous, it is not advisable if it is divorced from reality.

The editor recommends that you design according to your actual needs and layout and decorate according to the needs of the housewife at home.
