I looked at the kitchen of a house in Shanghai and found that many families’ kitchens are out of date. This is called high-end.

Kitchen renovations change quickly. However, many friends are stuck in traditional kitchen decoration.

I see After visiting the kitchen of a family in Shanghai, I discovered that the kitchens of many families are out of date. Look at this approach, it’s clean and advanced.

Sharing in this issue: Advanced practices in the kitchen. The full article is divided into five parts: kitchen layout; no tiles on the walls; no floor cabinets; embedded appliances + raised dishwasher; and an extra space under the wall cabinet.

01 Kitchen layout

The layout of the kitchen, in the perception of many friends, is either open or closed.

It wasn\’t until I saw the kitchen of a family in Shanghai that I realized that the kitchen can be more freely opened and closed. Switch.

When you want an open kitchen, push the glass door open. Close the glass door completely, it is closed.

This kind of The freely convertible kitchen is actually realized by two glass walls.

During decoration , try to remove one non-load-bearing wall. Replace it with a hidden glass door. The other wall is also equipped with a hidden glass door. For example, you can choose a pocket door or a PD door.

This kind of kitchen with freely convertible layout will make the kitchen appear very spacious and bright; there is no need to worry about not supplying natural gas, killing two birds with one stone.

A kitchen implements two layouts to meet the needs of different situations. It is a very Not a bad idea

02 No ceramic tiles on the wall

Kitchen decoration, in the understanding of many friends, the walls must be tiled, especially the walls above the stove and operating table.

In fact, this kind of wall brings many problems: The first is the brick joints .AllowIt is prone to oil contamination, mold and blackening; secondly, over time, it is difficult to clean if it is stained with oil.

Then, we can learn aboutThis family’s approach in Shanghai: instead of laying ceramic tiles on the kitchen countertop, install enamel boards.

When renovating the kitchen, all walls above the countertops should not be tiled. Just put some hidden tiles on the part below the countertop.

After that, We can buy enamel boards and paste all the parts above the countertop with enamel boards.

Enamel board walls are really useful for kitchens.

The storage capacity is quite strong. We only need some magnetic storage racks at the back, which can be hung on the wall at will to remove all the debris on the entire countertop.

The anti-fouling ability is also very good. It is resistant to oil stains and is easy to scrub. There are no gaps, and it will not become moldy or black, allowing our kitchen to stay clean and tidy for a long time.

Kitchen decoration, don’t just know about tiling, enamel boards are also a good alternative.

03 No base cabinet

When renovating the kitchen, we will consider installing cabinets, especially base cabinets.

ButThis family in Shanghai broke the traditional practice: instead of installing floor cabinets, they were replaced by drawers.

Everyone knows that the storage capacity of the kitchen base cabinet is actually very poor. Although it seems to be a large space, there are very few things stacked, it is full, and it is inconvenient to find.

So, a new approach emerged: using drawers instead of base cabinets

The method is to change all the base cabinets into drawers. Some are made into two-layer drawers, and some are made into three-layer drawers; then, there are also pull baskets specially used to hold dishes and bowls.

For most families, 2 to 3 baskets are generally installed, and the rest can be converted into drawers.

Don’t look at this small change, it will really improve the storage capacity of our entire kitchen.

It is no exaggeration to say that if we make kitchen drawers , not too many, with six or seven drawers, it can store almost all the items commonly used in the kitchen, making our kitchen cleaner and tidier

So , when decorating the kitchen, there is no need to focus on traditional base cabinets, because the storage capacity is really weak.

04 Appliances embedded + dishwasher raised

After moving in, I found that the kitchen was very messy, mostly due to the kitchen Caused by some electrical appliances

Living at home cannot be separated from a variety of kitchen appliances. Most families have microwave ovens, electric ovens, soy milk machines, juicers, air fryers, etc.

These kitchen appliances, if storage is not considered, are often placed on the kitchen counter. Moreover, the more they are placed, the more chaotic they become. In the end, the countertop is messy and full of oil stains.

Then, I suggest you take a look at the decoration design plan of this family’s kitchen appliances in Shanghai.

Overall design: embedded installation of kitchen appliances, plus raised dishwasher

The installation of embedded kitchen appliances is to make a high cabinet that reaches the top when making cabinets in the kitchen. This high cabinet , set as a push-pull shelf, with a size that can accommodate various electrical appliances

In this way, various commonly used kitchen appliances in the home can be stored in categories. When not in use, put them inside, and for some commonly used ones, set sockets at the back. You can use it directly

The key here is the elevation of the dishwasher. Conventional dishwashers are embedded In the base cabinet, I have to squat every time I use it, which is very tiring

Elevate the dishwasher and place it in a high cabinet with a height of about 1.2 to 1.5 meters, so that we can use the dishwasher while standing

With these two simple tips, you can organize your kitchen appliances neatly and make them more comfortable to use.

05 One ​​more space under the wall cabinet

For kitchen cabinets, many friends believe that in addition to wall cabinets, they are floor cabinets.

Actually this Often you will find that this solution is really impractical. Especially wall cabinets, the things placed on them are difficult to access.

Then, I suggest you take a lookThis family’s approach in Shanghai: add an extra space under the wall cabinet.

The overall design plan: build a wall cabinet from the top down, with a height of about 1.8 meters. The depth of this wall cabinet and the base cabinetSame.

In hanging Under the cabinet, make another storage compartment. Its depth is generally shallower than that of the wall cabinet, so it is better not to touch the head. The height is about 30 centimeters. Make a whole layer along the bottom of the wall cabinet.

In fact, this solution is still relatively popular. The only thing we need to pay attention to is to make an extra space under the wall cabinet and install a glass door as much as possible. In this way, the items inside can be seen, and it is not easy to get dust or oil.

Because it is It is installed in the kitchen, so everyone must choose good boards and try not to use particle board. Because the unsealed edges are easy to deglue, crack, swell and deform.

If conditions permit, a light strip can be installed on the additional grid, which can illuminate both the countertop below and the items above.It also looks better.
