With the advancement of science and technology and the upgrading of decoration materials, the traditional home decoration field is also advancing with the times!
Compared with 10 years ago, some new forms of decoration design, whether in terms of beauty, practicality, or advanced functions, have been improved a lot more than before. However, many decorators or owners choose the traditional way for "convenience" or other reasons.
Take kitchen renovation as an example, IMHO: these 10 designs are "outdated"! The new method that is now popular is more practical and classy. unbelief? Compare and see!
01 Unified countertop height
In the past, when customizing cabinets, the height of the countertops was the same. If you don't specify it in particular, many cabinet merchants give you customized cabinets that are 80CM high by default.
The advantage of this is that it is neat and beautiful, but it is very impersonal.
After putting pots and pans on the stove, you have to lift your shoulders when you stir-fry, and the sink area because of the sunken design, when washing vegetables and dishes, you have to bend over, for older people or waist is not very good, it is easy to have back pain, especially uncomfortable.
Now it is popular to make this kind of high and low countertop, the position of the stove is lowered, the position of the sink is raised, the height difference is formed, and the specific height is completely customized according to the height of the cook to achieve the most comfortable state.
In general, the height of the sink area and the operating table is comparable, the height of the stir-frying area is low, for the L-shaped or U-shaped kitchen, the sink and the stove are on both sides of the wall, so that the use of corner position to do the gap is the most appropriate.
According to the layout of washing, cutting and stir-frying, it is also very convenient to cook.
If it is a one-shaped kitchen, it needs to do a gap in the middle, and the disadvantage is that it is a bit unsightly. This recommendation is to lower or raise one area on the line, the other according to the standard height.
High and low countertops are actually a design that is easily underestimated in kitchen decoration, and in daily life, it is much more comfortable than highly consistent countertops.
02 Ground Rail Sliding Doors
Partition sliding door is the choice of many people's kitchen decoration, and most of the previous decorations have chosen this kind of sliding door with floor rail installation. Sliding doors are not only space-saving, flexible and stylish, but also make the space look more transparent and bright.
However, the biggest problem with the floor rail sliding door is that the ground rail is easy to hide dirt and grime, and it is not convenient to clean and manage. The sliding door of poor quality is very difficult to push over time.
Now it is popular to do this kind of hanging rail sliding door, the track is installed above the wall, so that the tile can be paved from the living room to the kitchen, there is no sanitary dead end, beautiful atmosphere and practical.
However, the hanging rail has requirements for the wall, and the quality requirements for the installation process and hardware accessories are relatively high, so that it can be safe and firm, and the balance is not shaken.
The more compromise method is to use ultra-thin raised ground rail plus three-link sliding door, high safety maintenance is also very easy, the height of the bulge does not exceed 5mm, not only the foot feel is good, even the sweeper can easily cross.
And the ultra-narrow border of the three-linkage sliding door, the large field of view, and the panoramic experience are more atmospheric and practical, almost similar to the open kitchen.
03 Corner Cabinet
To be honest, the previous design of the cabinet corner cabinet has always been very chicken ribs, especially for small apartments, do not use the waste of limited space, it is very inconvenient to use and take things, and you have to drill into it.
Now it is popular to match a variety of hardware baskets, and it is very convenient to store kitchen supplies. For example, the corner pull basket, using a rotating shaft, so that the cabinet plate and the shaft between the formation of a pull and thrust, can put the item in the out of reach. There are also spinning baskets or saucer pull baskets.
PS: If you think that this kind of hardware corner basket is expensive and troublesome, there is also a "flat replacement" method, which is to use a pull-out storage box with pulleys. With handles at the front and cutout handles at the rear, it's easy to pull and move.
There are 4 small rollers at the bottom, and there are also size specifications to choose from, adapting to the size of different cabinet spaces. In addition to corner cabinets, it can also be used in inconvenient spaces such as under the sink.
In this way, the inside of the cabinet becomes cleaner, and it is much more convenient to take things, similar to the effect of drawers, but the cost is much lower than the hardware basket.
04 Ordinary socket
In the past, kitchen decoration was used for this ordinary five-hole socket, and there are some 118-type panel sockets that are convenient to use, in fact, these are outdated! Many appliances in the kitchen need to be powered off when they run out, such as rice cookers and microwave ovens.
Now are the use of this kind of socket with a switch, when you need to cut off the power, you can directly control it with the switch, you don't need to repeatedly plug the power cord, save trouble and safety.
With the increase in the use of small appliances in the kitchen, many times it will be found that there are not enough reserved sockets. So now decoration, many small partners will also choose track sockets, modular design is more flexible.
05 Double sink
Double sinks were very common in previous kitchen renovations. The original intention of the double sink design was to use one to wash dishes and one to wash dishes. But in fact most people basically only use one sink, the other sink is idle and wasteful, and the double sink can't wash the big pot.
Unless your kitchen is large enough to use a large double trough, you can also put down the pot. Otherwise, it is not as practical as using this kind of understage basin large single trough, with a drainage rack to wash vegetables, this practice is now very popular and practical.
Especially for small kitchens, large single troughs are much more practical than double troughs of chicken ribs, and they are also more beautiful and atmospheric. The space is large enough, the washing is cool enough, of course, there are also disadvantages, easy to get dirty, easy to block, so you still have to be diligent.
06 Fixed faucet
Regardless of the use of single or double troughs, the kitchen faucet can not be ignored, before the use of this fixed faucet, the angle and direction of the water can not be adjusted.
Now popular this kind of pull-out faucet, you can switch the water mode, relatively gentle bubble water and strong momentum shower water, it is very convenient to rinse to the various corners of the sink.
It's not much different from the price of traditional faucets, but it can easily improve the water experience.
07 Hand wash dishes
In the past, when the kitchen was designed, the cleaning of tableware was rarely considered, because it was all hand washing. For the fast-paced life of the modern era, washing dishes has become a chore that many people hate.
With the development of technology and people's recognition, dishwashers have been like the original washing machines, entering thousands of households and freeing people's hands. Adding a dishwasher can greatly enhance the happiness of life.
In fact, the dishwasher is cleaner than hand washing, more water-saving, and most importantly, saving your time, spending time with your family or doing what you love.
08 Right angle water retaining bar
What many people may not expect is that the water barrier on the counter is not used to block water, but to "cover up the ugliness". Most walls are not vertical, which will form gaps of different sizes with the countertop, and the water barrier is a "lazy" approach.
However, because of the water barrier, the original only one slit has become two slits, which increases the sanitary dead end, and the glass glue is very easy to mold and blacken.
After the upgrading of the process, the current countertop can be made into this one-piece curved design, the countertop has no gaps, cleaning and maintenance is more convenient, and the top is coated with anti-mildew glass glue to eliminate the production of mold and yellowing.
However, this design has a small disadvantage, because after the quartz stone countertop has been polished, if the master's craftsmanship is not meticulous enough, there will be fine seams, which are easy to seep color over time, and the quartz stone itself also has the defect of easy to seep color.
For kitchens using quartz countertops, it is recommended to prepare a special stone bleeding cleaner so that if you accidentally have a bleeding problem, you can use it to easily restore it to its original form.
This stone cleaner set contains two kinds of powder and water agent, for the slight color of the countertop, you can add some water with powder, and the ordinary sponge is scrubbed clean.
For long-term or stubborn bleeding, water can be applied to the bleeding position, covering the plastic wrap for a period of time, and it can be restored as new.
All kinds of stone color can be used, the price is not expensive, simple and convenient and effective.
09 Window sills are higher than sinks
The sink is generally in front of the window, and most of the cabinet design ignores this place, and the window sill is higher than the sink, which increases the sanitary dead end.
The popular design now is to use the countertop stone to directly cover the window sill, so that there is no gap, and it is more convenient to clean. Some even extend the countertop directly, which is more beautiful and practical.
10 only make a ceiling lamp
In the past, when decorating the kitchen, most of them only installed a ceiling lamp, and with the improvement of people's living comfort requirements, it was found that the kitchen with only one lamp was easy to appear "black under the lamp" phenomenon.
And now the popular is the design of no main lamp plus cabinet bottom lamp, really lighting without dead ends, and the sense of atmosphere is stronger, after all, the role of lighting, not only lighting!
The design of distributed lighting can ensure that each area of the kitchen is bright and uniform, and the hand scan sensor lamp can solve the problem of insufficient lighting at the bottom of the cabinet. This kind of induction lamp charging design does not require remodeling the line, which is very convenient for new house decoration or second-hand house renovation.
Patch installation invisible and beautiful, the operation is also very simple, hand sweep induction, human body sensing, brightness and darkness induction can be controlled in a variety of ways, but also adjust the brightness and darkness of the light. The new sensor lights also add many intimate practical features such as chronograph.
A bright environment can enhance people's desire to cook and a sense of happiness in life.
Don't spend your current money and pretend to be "outdated"! If you haven't renovated or are renovating, you can refer to it. #寻找头条生活家 #
