Practical Design Guide for a Better Kitchen Experience
Practical Design Guide for a Better Kitchen Experience
When customizing kitchen cabinets, most families tend to fill the space under the countertop with cabinets for additional storage. While this approach offers more storage space, it may not be the most practical design for families who frequently cook at home for the specific reasons below.
1. Leave a Space Empty for Multifunctional Use
If you cook at home frequently, you need to buy groceries every day, as well as many dry goods and miscellaneous items that may not be suitable for refrigeration and need to be stored in cabinets. By leaving an empty space in the cabinet, it will be much more convenient for storage.
2. A Place for the Trash Bin
For families who cook frequently, there is a lot of kitchen waste generated, and the trash bin becomes a necessity. However, in kitchens with limited space, the trash bin can be obstructive. By leaving an empty space under the cabinet, it can be used as a suitable place for the trash bin.
3. Open Baskets for Easy Storage
Open spaces can accommodate baskets, which are ideal for storing dry food items in a well-ventilated area. They are also convenient to access.
4. Mobile Storage Shelves for Flexible and Convenient Operation
If the countertop space is not enough, some people may be used to using mobile storage shelves to assist in cooking operations, making cooking more fluid and convenient.
5. Handleless Design
The popular handle-less cabinet design is simple in style, without extra embellishments, and not only has a purifying visual effect but also exudes a minimalist and fashionable atmosphere, making it the best choice for minimalist enthusiasts. In an open-plan kitchen, handle-less cabinets can also exhibit a harmonious and unified minimalist beauty, avoiding the accumulation of oil stains and making them easier to clean.
6. Embedded Placement
When the kitchen is cluttered with pots, dishes, appliances, and various items, and the owner is lazy to clean or does not have time to clean, the entire space will become messy and even give a feeling of being overcrowded. Choosing a cabinet that can hold all items and using embedded placement for kitchen appliances, oils, salts, and sauces can save space, maintain aesthetics, and make cooking a more enjoyable experience.
In addition to playing with color in design, the popular design of combining cabinets and bars continues to be in demand, turning the kitchen into a culinary stage.
In an open-plan kitchen, the bar not only acts as a soft partition but also better assists in cooking, alleviating storage pressure and maximizing limited space utilization.
