Nowadays, housing prices are high, and it is not easy to buy a completely satisfactory house. And the follow-up decoration design is even more painstaking. Coupled with rising prices, the decoration cost of a house can easily cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, so every homeowner has to carefully consider every corner of his home.

Today we are going to talk about a very critical area-the kitchen. This is the source of three meals a day for families, and its importance is self-evident. If the decoration is improper, the cook will encounter a lot of trouble in use.

1. High and low platforms

In order to make daily cooking and washing dishes more convenient and labor-saving, it is best not to have the operating height of the stove and sink on the same plane. This staggered design not only looks layered, but more importantly, it can relieve the fatigue of cooking with your arms and bending over to wash dishes for a long time.

2. Under-counter basin

When visiting the building materials market, you will see various styles of sinks. Remember not to follow the recommendation of the merchant and choose the basin on the counter. Although the basin on the countertop is easy to install, only a circle of glass glue is needed, but the edge of the basin is higher than the countertop. Over time, the glass glue is easy to black and breed mold, which is neither beautiful nor sanitary.

In contrast, although the installation of the under-counter basin takes more effort, there is no sanitary corner after completion. Water stains and residues on the countertop can be easily swept into the basin with a rag, which is very convenient. From the overall aesthetic point of view, the basin under the counter is also more concise and elegant.

3. Nakajima Terrace

In recent years, Zhongdao Terrace has gradually been loved by many large house owners, and the spacious apartment can also be considered. Don’t underestimate this island platform. It can greatly expand the kitchen operating area and has many practical functions.

If it’s a family of three, you can dine directly on the island deck, saving yourself the hassle of extra restaurant cleaning. When friends and relatives visit, the kitchen can also become a social center, chatting while cooking, and the atmosphere is relaxed and harmonious.

4. Choose an open kitchen

If the kitchen space itself is narrow, it is recommended to consider designing it as an open plan. This can effectively improve the transparency and visual area of the space. The extra area can even be added with a small island platform, which can not only increase storage space, but also expand the worktop.

Tip: If you are worried about the problem of lampblack in an open kitchen, you can choose an integrated stove with strong suction to solve it.

5. Lower cabinet push basket

It is recommended to use push-pull baskets instead of traditional laminated storage cabinets. In this way, dishes and tableware can be stored more neatly, water accumulation can be avoided, and items are very convenient to take.

6. Shelf

Try to install more shelves on the wall. In this way, commonly used items can be stored on the wall, avoiding all of them being piled up on the countertop, thus leaving more valuable operating space.

7. Install cabinet lights

It is recommended to install auxiliary lighting lamps under the hanging cabinet. This can prevent the main light source from being blocked by the hanging cabinet, resulting in backlighting of the sink and worktop area, which will affect cooking and cleaning.

8. Skillfully use the AB side of the kitchen

For small kitchens, it can be designed in an “L-shaped” or “U-shaped” layout, with cabinets, cooktop and range hood installed on one side, and a passage reserved or a row of thin cabinets added on the other side. A row of shelves or shelves can also be added to the window sill, so that the storage space is greatly increased, and you no longer have to worry about insufficient kitchen area.

9. Invisible handle

There are many things in the kitchen and miscellaneous, so the design should be as simple as possible. Too complicated decoration will look messy. The upper cabinet can choose a push-type rebound door, and the lower cabinet is equipped with an invisible handle, which looks neat and refreshing, and is also convenient for daily wiping and cleaning.

10. Polished tiles

Many homeowners like matt tiles with high-grade texture, but if the kitchen itself has insufficient lighting, it is recommended to choose polished tiles. It can effectively improve the brightness of the space, and the smooth surface is easier to clean and take care of.

11. Utilize cabinet corner space

Cabinet corners tend to form a difficult corner to utilize. Installing a multi-layer rotating basket or corner rack here can make perfect use of this space and store a lot of kitchen utensils and sundries.

These are 11 practical suggestions for kitchen decoration. Carefully refer to these design points to create an ideal kitchen that is both beautiful and functional.
