How Do You Plan Kitchen Cabinets

Kitchen is the heart of home, the satisfaction of taste buds and the guarantee of health. Among them, cabinets play a vital role in the aesthetics, practicality and environmental protection of the kitchen.

The cabinet design is unreasonable, and even the kitchen of 20㎡ still feels confused.

Cabinet design, we must first determine the form of the kitchen: open or closed.

Open Kitchen

1. Cabinets should be mainly concealed storage

The open kitchen has a modern appearance and no space barrier, but it also makes it easy to take everything in a glance of kitchen utensils and articles, which easily leads to visual disorder. Therefore, the cabinet design of open kitchen should focus on hidden storage, reduce shelves, realize "nothing" on the countertop, and design the storage, washing, cooking and other functions more concisely and covertly.

Make full use of space, such as wall cabinets and corner areas, so that all space can be fully utilized, and different specifications of pots and tableware can be placed in their respective positions.

The base cabinet is better to use the drawer cabinet. Pay attention to the subdivision inside the drawer cabinet, and divide the drawer height into three layers: shallow size, conventional size and deep size. In this way, the first floor of the slide drawer can well accommodate small objects such as bowls, chopsticks, knives and forks, and other dishes and basins can be placed under it, which is labor-saving and safe to take and keep the countertop clean.

If your open kitchen has island design, the cabinet space under the island platform can be used.

2. Integrated design of kitchen appliances

Refrigerator, oven, microwave oven, dishwasher ... There are more and more electrical appliances in the kitchen. For a more convenient and better-looking kitchen, the storage of electrical appliances is a big problem.

When customizing cabinets, consider the required electrical equipment in advance, reserve enough space inside the cabinet, adopt embedded design or customize an integrated electrical cabinet.

The integrated design of kitchen appliances is more tidy and beautiful, and the most common layout is: the cabinet has a refrigerator space, the dishwasher is embedded in the base cabinet, and then a high cabinet is embedded in the oven and microwave.

3. Cabinet style should be unified

Open kitchen wants to ensure aesthetics, the precondition is that it should be integrated with the style of dining room and living room when it is matched.

Color coordination and powerful storage and storage scheme can create a comfortable atmosphere, unified and exquisite vision, and make the space more spacious.

Closed Kitchen

1. Open cabinets

The fully enclosed cabinet can put everything in, and the outside looks neat and clean. However, this design has an obvious drawback, that is, there is no place for common items, which is very inconvenient.

The design of open cabinets makes storage more flexible, especially in closed kitchens. Don't worry about visual confusion. Close the kitchen door and everything will disappear in sight.

The enclosed kitchen space is small, so it is recommended to replace the enclosed wall cabinet design with shelves and open cabinets, so as to relieve the sense of space congestion and make the space lighter. Use the wall space to create an open storage rack or wall hanging system. Cooking tools and tableware are hung on the wall together, and the countertop becomes neat and orderly.

2. Multi-angle lighting around cabinets

Closed kitchens often have poor lighting. If only one ceiling lamp is installed, it is difficult to take into account all areas of the kitchen, and it is easy to produce blind spots of light, which will affect the operation.

Light strips can be installed under the wall cabinet or inside the cabinet to play the role of auxiliary lighting, and the hidden design makes the kitchen more exquisite.

Custom cabinets, besides design, environmental protection of panels is more important.

The external design of cabinets can strengthen the appearance of space, and the rational layout inside cabinets can optimize functions. However, besides aesthetics and practicality, the most important thing we need to pay attention to is the environmental protection of panels.
