“The stove is too high and the cooking position is very tiring”, “The dishwashing basin is too low and I stoop over while washing vegetables”, “When cutting vegetables, there is no place for the chopped vegetables”.. .... I believe 90% of readers have experienced the awkward situation in the kitchen.

The main reason why the kitchen is uncomfortable to use is that the design is not sophisticated enough, or the design issues are not considered at all when decorating the kitchen, and the daily habits of the kitchen are ignored. It doesn’t work well.

Today, I will talk to you about kitchen design. I hope that after reading this, you can design a practical and beautiful kitchen.

1. How to install a useful kitchen?

How to design a practical and convenient kitchen? You can start from the following design points to create a practical, convenient, beautiful and tidy kitchen:

01①A more suitable height

p>

Traditional kitchen design often installs kitchen cabinets and stoves at a uniform height, but everyone’s height habits are different. If the height of the cook is not consistent with the height of the kitchen cabinets, There will be situations where I have to stand up my hands to stir-fry or bend over to wash vegetables. My arms and hands will feel sore after cooking a meal.

In an average family, it is the housewife who basically cooks, and the height of the housewife is determined; at this time, the height of the kitchen cabinet must be customized according to the figure of the housewife, so ordinary kitchen cabinets The customization company will design the height of the kitchen cabinet according to the height of the user. However, in daily use, the postures when washing vegetables and cooking are different. If the height of the sink and the stove are the same, there will still be problems. Uncomfortable situation.

When encountering such a problem, more professional kitchen cabinet customization companies determine the height of the kitchen cabinets by measuring the height of the housewife’s elbows. The stove will be higher after adding pots and pans, so The stove should be appropriately shorter, so that it will be more comfortable whether washing or cooking.

02② Reasonable moving lines

Regarding moving lines, our previous article "How to design and arrange the moving lines when decorating a house?" 》The moving line layout principles of the overall interior design have also been introduced. As for the moving lines of housework, the shorter the better.

According to Chinese cooking habits, the kitchen flow is usually based on "washing-cutting-frying". "Food is the first priority for the people." We Chinese are very particular about eating. There are many ingredients and processes used in cooking a Chinese meal. We need to reasonably distribute the things used in the process and move them in a reasonable way. The layout will save a lot of effort in cooking and avoid having to be busy making a meal.

On the basis of moving lines, it is also very important to leave enough operating surface between each moving line. Otherwise, no matter how good the moving lines are, there will be no room to put the washed dishes and cooked dishes. , you still have to move back and forth. The picture below is a reference for the size that needs to be reserved for each operating area.

03③ Reasonable classification and storage

There are hundreds of bottles, pots and pans in the kitchen. If they are not properly classified and stored, it will not only be inconvenient to access, but also It is also easy for the kitchen countertop to be occupied by these debris, making it look messy. If you want to find a bottle of ingredients, you have to rummage through the cabinets. If you find the ingredients, the dishes in the pot will be mushy.

The base cabinet is used to store large pots and pans, and the kitchen will become much easier to use if a relatively thin tall storage cabinet is appropriately added to classify and store small items.

As for the base cabinet, the current decoration of many families is to install a shelf in the kitchen cabinet. Every time you look for something inside, you have to squat down → open the cabinet door → lean in and rummage. Whether you can find it in a dark kitchen cabinet requires a lot of attention;

And a reasonable base cabinet should be equipped with a pull-out drawer, which can be pulled out at a glance when needed; with pull-out storage, pull out the drawer It is also easier to access after coming out, without having to bend down or even dig into the kitchen cabinet to find something.

04④Countertop Width

When designing the depth of the kitchen countertop in traditional decoration, it is usually designed with 60cm. After the stove is installed, a bowl will generally be left on the outside of the stove. The sideline space that cannot be accommodated is a waste of money.

In fact, at this time, as long as the depth of the operating table is widened by 3cm, this position can be used to place the ingredient bowls. If the ingredient bowls are placed on the stove, the vegetable cutting area will be looser. , a lot more convenient.

05⑤ Reasonable layout

There are many small kitchens that can only have a straight or L-shaped layout, and the passage has an extra space of about 20-30cm , I want to make kitchen cabinets but they are too small, so they can only be wasted and idle; in fact, this space can also be customized with a thin storage cabinet, which is just right for storing bottles, cans or dry goods, and is not too deep. Inconvenient to access.

By adding a row of thin cabinets, the kitchen layout can also be transformed from an I-shaped kitchen to a II-shaped kitchen. After such optimization, not only the storage of the kitchen is increased, but the operating flow of the kitchen is also improved. It is shortened accordingly, which is really a very clever design.

The kitchen should be the most important place that a housewife should pay attention to when decorating. An easy-to-use kitchen can make us cook with ease, be in a happy mood, and make the food taste naturally fragrant. Therefore, when renovating your kitchen, you must not ignore design!
