What are the new trends in kitchen decoration?

Glass sliding doors are no longer popular. Do you know the reason?

In this era of \”looking bigger and brighter\”, Double-sided glass walls are a popular idea in kitchens.

Actually, long before this trend came out, a friend of mine had already replaced the sliding door in the kitchen with a double-sided glass wall.

Every time I go to his house to play, I can’t help but marvel:

“This decoration is so beautiful and can be a hundred times more beautiful. It’s so bright and has a great sense of space.”

And the kitchen space created this way is actually very large. A small room that may be only one or two square meters will look very large, even in small corners. Turning around on the spot, what kind of magical effect is this?

Today I will popularize the double-sided glass wall that is used in thousands of homes!

If your kitchen also A bit small and dark, be sure to check out this article.

Double-sided glass wall kitchen.

The double-sided glass wall kitchen is mainly divided into two parts:

One side is a door. Or several floor-to-ceiling glass windows, whether connected to the outside balcony or the indoor living room, there will be no wall on this side of the double-sided glass wall;

The other side is the wall inside the kitchen.

This greatly improves the brightness, because one side is the window. , natural lighting will become very good, and compared with ordinary floor-to-ceiling windows, double-sided glass walls will appear more unique and eye-catching;

Secondly, the wall here It can be made into a part of the kitchen operating area, such as a bar counter,With built-in oven cabinets, worktops, dining table frames and other designs, coupled with the open kitchen design concept, even if the home is not a big house, it can still allow the whole family to have a simple meal and chat together.

And when the wall inside the double-sided glass wall is redesigned as a partition, it can be made into a hidden door, which takes up no space at all, and is easy to open and close without making any sound. Invisible, it surpasses an ordinary sliding door in terms of experience and aesthetics.

However, not all homes can realize the construction design plan of double-sided glass walls, because some homes are limited by the original frame columns and are not All spaces can be remodeled or even demolished in this way;

At the same time, some families consider safety and other factors and are unwilling to demolish or modify the walls, so they cannot install double-sided glass walls. Are there any other feasible construction plans?

Of course!

Small and dark kitchen decoration plan.

The first plan is PD folding door + glass.

To put it simply, PD folding door. It is a folding door composed of multiple folding leaves. More vividly, it is like multiple folding screens;

This is a more common design method, mainly to expand the entrance.

Because when using a single or double door, the door will block part of the walkway when it is opened. Opening the door once on both sides will lose a little sense of space, but if If it is a folding door, because the door leaves are folded in the same direction, they will not block both sides, but make the entrance appear very spacious;

And this type of folding door even if there are a few extra aluminum rods in the middle The alloy frame support will not affect the visual experience.

The second option is pocket door + glass.

The so-called pocket door is to hide the door like a pocket, because the door is opening and closing It will take up more space, so this design allows the door to be installed in a niche when opening and closing;

Opening the pocket door at the same time is like turning the pocket inside out and putting things in. It will not occupy the aisle space and can also increase the entrance space.

There are many design types for pocket doors. In addition to being designed as a pull type, they can also be designed as a push-pull type;

In order to increase decoration or privacy, the pocket door can also be decorated with wooden materials or mirrors, and a hollow frame structure can be made at the back. , while increasing the beauty, it also does not lack transparency and lighting.

It also increases the aesthetics. There is a third solution which is hidden door + window.

This solution is similar to the double-sided glass wall, except that the window is not located at position A but at position B;

And position B is located. It may not be fully enclosed, but a nested pattern is made, and the window frame and glass are poured in to form a window;

Then this window can be without window frames and curtains, and can also be added with window frames and curtains to achieve privacy and increase aesthetics

In fact, this solution saves space and cost than double-sided glass walls.

The fourth option is hidden door + bar

This option is very similar to the third one, but it is different from the third one. In comparison, there is not only no window but also a bar counter.

In order to increase space utilization, many families will put their bar counter in the kitchen;

PassConnect it to the restaurant through a hidden door, and then set the bar counter in a position where the hidden door is open, so that there is no need for tables, chairs and other furniture to connect the restaurant and the bar counter, which not only saves space, but is also quite convenient;

At the same time, the bar counter also has a storage function and can be designed with a cabinet;

It also has a dining function and can Setting it up as an open island stove not only allows everyone to have dinner together to enhance their relationship, but also allows the host to not be absent when cooking.

Methods to improve the usability of small and dark kitchens.

In fact, there is another way to improve the utilization rate of small and dark kitchens, which is to increase kitchen lighting. .

As long as the lights are turned on and off, the entire dark space will light up, whether it is hard or soft decoration, it can show different wonderful effects!

Since In this case, why not directly solve the source of the problem?

In fact, this idea is right, but the premise is that you need to know what functional elements are in the kitchen.

Generally speaking, a bright overall environment will improve the overall environment. In addition to being deep and cool, the kitchen should try to avoid too many conspicuous colors and excessive contrast in hue and brightness.

In order to ensure the consistency and safety of the visual experience, everyone should try to match the color tone;

At the same time, you can adjust the color tone of the room itself. For example, if the main color is white, you can use cool and warm white If the background color is warm, you can use beige or warm-toned small lights;

If the background color is dark, you can use soft yellow small lights.lights to reduce visual oppression.

For indoor hard decoration, you can consider adding ceiling lights to parts of suitable shape and size, which can not only provide the main light source but also play a decorative role;

For outdoor hard decoration , you can consider increasing the projection lamp to create a night effect, and consider adding a floor lamp on the balcony to increase safety and atmosphere.
