Every family has a kitchen. I believe everyone has their own standards for what a kitchen looks like.
But these 7 small kitchen details that Shinzumi will tell you today are suitable for all families and can make the kitchen "easy to use and easy to take care of."
Let’s go into detail below. How many do you have in your home?
1. Reasonable movement line The importance of movement line is often mentioned in interior design. Movement line is the journey that will be repeated when doing one thing.
Even though the delicious dishes produced are different, there are many similarities in the cooking operations.
To make a gourmet dish, the general sequence of cooking operations is as follows: Take ingredients from the refrigerator, process them in the sink, process them on the stone countertop, cut vegetables, prepare on the stove, stir-fry, take out the pot, serve, and serve. The above sequence of operations is the flow sequence of the kitchen.
According to this moving line, as long as the kitchen space allows, the most reasonable layout is as follows: refrigerator, sink, food preparation area, stove, food serving area. In the cabinet design, the food serving area is easily overlooked. In fact, it is very simple to make.
Just leave a 30cm wide countertop next to it.
No more carrying heavy pots to serve dishes and rice. In addition, remember to arrange a paper towel box in the serving area, because you may need to wipe away food dropped on the countertop at any time.
As shown in the picture above, the wall-mounted tissue box is a good choice and does not occupy the countertop.
Of course, don't be rigid, just focus on whether the "line" is smooth.
The essence of circulation lies in proximity. The place where the washed vegetables are placed is the vegetable cutting area. The chopped vegetables can be put into the pot easily... What's more important is to adapt to local conditions according to your own situation. In the case of the picture below, the refrigerator is outside the kitchen.
In the restaurant, in order to make it easier to pick up food, the owner placed the serving area opposite the stove and enlarged the size. At this time, the serving area turned into a small island.
The island can serve as a serving area; add a rice cooker and it can become a serving area; add a kettle and it can become a small water bar at home. Because it is at the entrance, it is very convenient to drink water when you go home; there is also a
The hidden function is that it can be used as an "item sorting center" to sort out the dishes you buy home. Which ones should be stored in the refrigerator and which ones should be left in the kitchen and will soon enter the washing, cutting and frying process.
Temporary storage and sorting of items throughout the house can also be done here.
2. Kitchen cleaning by Yijie Design can be said to be the most important thing in the kitchen besides cooking.
Designed with cleaning in mind, cleaning the kitchen will be a piece of cake later on.
Below, Xin Xiaozhu will show you the two most important easy-to-clean designs: For reasons such as beautiful appearance and easy maintenance, ceramic tiles are often chosen for kitchen walls.
The gaps between ceramic tiles are a place where dirt can easily adhere. When designing, it is best to choose large tiles to reduce the gaps.
If you have sufficient budget, it is recommended to consider slate or enamel boards. Both materials can be paved over a large area as a whole. They have no gaps, low water permeability, are oil-proof and are not easily stained.
The picture shows the enamel board countertop. Quartz stone is the most common cooking countertop material. It is made of quartz particles and pressed with resin. It has the same texture as marble countertops, but has better anti-cracking and anti-pollution properties, and the price is more affordable. Consider
In terms of appearance and other factors, overall, there is no material more suitable for kitchen countertops than quartz stone.
Of course, rich people can choose slate directly.
Small tip: When customizing the countertop, it is recommended to use an arc shape for the inscribed corners of the water retaining strip and the countertop.
Compared with right angles, this arc angle is less likely to trap dirt and evil and can be wiped clean with a rag.
As for the gap between the countertop and the wall, silicone glue was often used in the past, but now it can be replaced with MS sealant. MS glue can be painted, and it has relatively good sealing, no mold, and is beautiful and easy to take care of.
Friends who have used silicone glue to seal, if mold occurs, you can use mildew removal gel to clean it.
The formula of mildew removal gel is environmentally friendly. You only need to apply it to the moldy area and let it sit for a period of time to remove the mold and blackening.
If there is oil stain bleeding on the quartz stone countertop, there is no need to worry. You can use marble bleeding cleaner.
Apply the marble bleeding cleaner to the oil bleeding area, seal it with plastic wrap and let it sit for a period of time. This can effectively remove the pollution and restore the countertop to its original color.
If the bleeding pollution is serious, you can consider reusing it 2-3 times to achieve an obvious effect of removing the bleeding pollution.
3. Storage in the kitchen is generally trivial and requires a wide variety of tools and ingredients. Only by being able to store these things easily can it be truly practical.
Here, Xin Xiaozhu provides you with some storage methods, hoping to help you open up your mind.
If the washed dishes and cutlery stored in the sink can be conveniently stored in the drain rack to dry, it can improve the efficiency of housework.
Placing a drain rack next to the sink is a great solution, eliminating the need to open and close cupboards.
Use directly from the drain basket.
Single sinks are becoming more and more popular because they are easy to clean, have a large capacity, and can wash pots.
