The kitchen is the focus of our decoration, in addition to paying attention to the layout of water and electricity, waterproof and moisture-proof and other issues, for the owners of small and medium-sized apartments, the small kitchen should also have more storage space, to be as large as possible.
So how can we make the otherwise crowded kitchenette bigger during the renovation process? How easy it is to use?
Today, the dry goods that Xiao Ai shares with you are the cheats of the small kitchen to show big, and you might as well try these 5 ways to show your strength.
1. Try to make a "U" shaped kitchen
In the process of popularizing science decoration dry goods and analyzing decoration cases, we repeatedly talked about the advantages of "U" shaped kitchens, one of which is more storage space, which can make good use of wall storage, with large capacity and large vision.
So, if we have the conditions to try to make a "U" shaped kitchen. Of course, if the layout of the house cannot achieve this layout, it can only settle for the second.
In addition, if you can accept an open kitchen or a semi-open kitchen, you can also build a wall or use an island to achieve the function of a "U" shaped kitchen.
2. The wall cabinet should be topped, and the floor cabinet should have more drawers
When decorating kitchen wall cabinets, it is necessary to communicate well with the wood designer, make it into a top-to-top style, and do not leave a gap with the ceiling.
Otherwise, the three shortcomings are very pitiful, one is that it is easy to hide dirt and dirt, and it is not easy to clean; Second, the storage volume is small and the storage space is reduced; The third is to cut off the wall vision, which will make the kitchen smaller.
As for the choice of base cabinets, Xiaoai recommends that you make more drawers, especially to separate layers, of course, the more customized drawers, the higher the price.
Therefore, we should choose in combination with the budget, and generally ensure that there are at least two or three horizontal large drawers, so that the storage capacity is large, many things are not messed up, and the kitchen can be large.
3. The light color is large, and the dark cabinet door should be used with caution
It is recommended that small and medium-sized apartments choose light-colored series, such as white, gray, apricot, beige and so on.
The doors of the light-colored series will be larger, while the dark-colored doors will have a sense of crowding, visually shrinking, and will appear small and oppressive.
Little Love Reminder:
Like the cabinet door, it is not recommended to choose dark colors for small and medium-sized apartment decoration kitchen tiles, and light-colored floor tiles also appear to be a little larger.
4. Embed kitchen appliances and pull the visual plane
There is another difficulty in the kitchen of our small and medium-sized apartments, that is, there will be many electrical appliances in our lives now, some of which are commonly used, and some are not commonly used but are very needed.
The space of a small apartment, whether vertical or horizontal, is scarce, and as time goes by, there are more and more things, and it becomes crowded.
Therefore, we try to use the embedded way to plan the location of kitchen appliances when decorating. For example, we can make the refrigerator embedded in the wall, and the oven, dishwasher, etc. are built-in, so that it will not affect the use, and all the embedded will also pull the visual plane, eliminate the sense of heaviness, and make the vision bigger.
Little Love Tips:
If you want to be embedded, you must plan the type of kitchen appliances in advance, determine the space according to the size, especially pay attention to the opening angle of the refrigerator, and be sure to leave space on the left and right sides.
5. Scattered items are put into the cabinet, and a large and neat small amount is exposed
There are some ways to make the kitchen bigger, but more importantly, the people who live in it pay attention to the kitchen storage and the neatness and neatness of the kitchen.
After moving in, we will continue to add kitchen supplies, spices, plastic bags, rice noodle boxes and so on. It is recommended that you put the scattered items in the cabinet, and put some large items with uniform specifications as little as possible, so that you can not see the debris as soon as you enter the door, and it will be large if there is no visual distraction. Keeping your kitchen tidy is an important factor in making your space bigger.
Xiao Ai also suggested that everyone develop good habits, do not over-stock goods, and do not accumulate "kitchen tools" that are not very useful.
Finally, Xiao Ai also reminds everyone that in addition to decorating the kitchen, we should pay attention to the method of showing the size, and also pay attention to the use of the kitchen. Keeping your kitchen neat and clean is the key to making our kitchenette bigger.
Imagine, as soon as you enter the kitchen, the window is bright and clean, the stove is refreshing, and the small kitchen feels bright, if the eyes are full of mountains of goods, messy, dirty, and spread, no matter how big the kitchen is, it will look small and messy.
Therefore, the key to decorating our house and making the kitchen bigger is to have the right method and be diligent ourselves.
