always says that the kitchen is not easy to use because it is too small. In fact, most home kitchens are not easy to use because the size is not good.
This issue, the editor will bring a complete collection of kitchen sizes, including moving wire sizes, comfortable sizes, and limit rulers. If you want to install a super practical kitchen, it is recommended to read and remember them carefully.
sink ≥50 cm
sink limit size 50 cm. If it is small, you cannot put down a large-diameter wok. When washing dishes, it will also feel cramped because the sink is not spacious enough.
Of course, the size of the sink can be adjusted according to the overall size of the kitchen. If the space is spacious, the size of the sink can be as large as 70 cm.
In this way, even the many pots and pans that have been eaten after hot pot or baked can be accommodated and cleaned together.
Moreover, in terms of functionality, large single tanks can also add accessories such as vegetable washing baskets to achieve undivided partitions and is very practical.
sink depth ≥20 cm
sink depth is also very particular. When using the sink that is too deep, it will inevitably bend the waist at a larger angle, causing waist fatigue.
is not advisable if it is too shallow, and the storage capacity is insufficient. The dishwashing water will splash on the countertop, increasing cleaning problems.
Therefore, the appropriate depth of the sink should be 20≤depth≤28cm.
If you finish washing dishes, you will find that there will always be a lot of water on the countertop, and your clothes will be splashed wet, and there will even be water stains on the ground. It is recommended to add an water stopper to the edge of the sink .
Although it is not that good-looking, it can actually solve the problem of splashing.
Moreover, the suction cup is fixed to the edge of the sink at the bottom, which can be disassembled at any time and is convenient to take it down and clean.
Preparation area ≥60 cm
Preparation area is the cutting area. Of course, the larger the experience, the more enjoyable it is, but based on the overall kitchen space, remember two key sizes.
limit size is ≥60 cm. When preparing dishes, choose a cutting board about 45 cm, and you can also place three or four dish preparation dishes around.
The comfortable size is > 80 cm. Not only can you choose a larger and spacious cutting board, but when cooking more dishes, you won’t be too busy because there is no place to prepare the dish.
stove ≥72 cm
kitchen small, the equipment of anything must be carefully calculated.
For example, if the stove is not connected to other areas and is a separate stove area, you must clearly know that most stoves on the market have a size of 72 cm.
Therefore, the reserved area of the stove should be ≥72 cm, plus the left and right operating space, the overall should be ≥80 cm.
The dish area ≥30 cm
This area is on the side of the stove, and many people ignore it. In the end, more than ten centimeters of space were reserved. The plate just couldn't be placed steadily and could not be used.
In fact, this is the golden area for serving dishes, leaving ≥30 cm of space. For the newly-cooked dishes, it is easy to put them in this area, which saves effort.
refrigerator ≥80 cm
This is not absolute. To have a tight fit between the refrigerator and cabinet , it is necessary to have a specific brand and model of the refrigerator. In other words, when making a cabinet, you must determine the refrigerator.
is greater than 80 cm, which is just a reference value, because most double-door refrigerators on the market have a size of more than 80 cm. If they are less than 80 cm, you can only consider entering a single-door refrigerator.
gap ≥30 cm
The kitchen stove should be easy to use. In addition to the several sizes mentioned above, the kitchen is also a place where water and open flames are wading, and there are some gaps and distances, so you should pay special attention to it.
One, sink clearance:
When the sink is facing one side of the kitchen and there is a wall or refrigerator next to it, the gap between the sink should be considered. On the one hand, it is for comfort, and on the other hand, it is for safety. When we are washing dishes, our arms are generally bent, so the sink should be left with space for bent elbows on the wall, and generally it is for more than 10 cm to achieve a comfortable space.
However, if the overall distance of the kitchen is enough, the gap against the wall can be increased to 30 cm.
Add a bowl and plate drainage area in this area, so that the washed bowl can be placed on it at any time to drain it, improving the ease of use.
Like the drain rack I use in my home, it is only 15 cm wide and is placed in a space of 30 cm, without affecting the extension of the elbow.
Double-layer storage, one layer of bowl, another layer of plate, and a chopstick storage box at the top. The commonly used bowls and chopsticks for a family of three are enough to store.
is also a safety factor. A common example is the sink and the refrigerator. Because the gap is not left enough, water splashes into the refrigerator's cooling hole, causing refrigerator problems.
Second, the gap between the stove:
When the stove is facing the side of the kitchen and there is a side wall or refrigerator next to it, problems are also prone to occur.
The stove is too close to the side wall, except that the oily ideas for cooking are easy to jump to the on the wall, which is difficult to clean.
will also heat the wall, causing scalding and tiles to fall off. For specific solutions, please refer to the above plan for the vegetable area.
If the distance to the refrigerator is too close, in addition to the oil and dirt problem, there will also be refrigerator problems caused by the fire being roasted to the refrigerator due to the lack of gap distance.
Therefore, the gap distance of this type should be ≥30 cm.
The height of the cooking area and sink = height ÷ 2+5 cm
The comfortable kitchen size must be specific according to the height of the chef.
Be sure to not use average height, because everyone's height is different, and the most comfortable height is also different.
There is a formula here, which is, the height of the dish preparation area and the sink = the height of the operator ÷ 2 + 5 cm.
For example, the hostess at home cooks more and is 160cm tall, then the appropriate operating counter height = 160÷2+5=85cm.
The height of the stove is 8 cm lower than the preparation area
, and the height of the stove should be 8 cm lower than the preparation area 5, because the stove has the height of the stove and the pot.
This 8 cm is basically the sum of the height of the stove and the comfortable operation increase caused by the height of the pot.
is the well-known high and low tabletop.
It is worth mentioning that only the stove area (can be installed on the panel) is lowered. Some people are confused by the area, so they also put the cooking area to the low table, which is also not easy to use.
The width of the countertop is ≈60 cm
For countertops, there is no non-standard size, but the width of the countertop stone is ≈60 cm, so the width of the countertop is mostly about 60 cm.
But there are some special reasons, such as some brands customization, the large one is 63 cm, or the kitchen is small, with a small size, but the limit is 55 cm, and it will be tense to operate even narrower.
Of course, some people may say that if the kitchen size is enough, will the larger the countertop be, the better.
is not the case. After the countertop reaches a certain width, the pressure of the cabinet sorting will follow. The drawers can be pulled and picked up, but it is really inconvenient to store the storage when the cabinet is deep.
In fact, if bottles and jars are stored in the cabinet, you can use a rotary storage tray to solve the problem of inconvenient access.
There is a chassis under it, which can rotate 360 degrees. When picking up items, you just need to turn the plate and put the items in front of you to take them.
In this way, the collection will become easy and will not be used to go back and forth with and rush .
The width of the aisle is ≥70 cm
If the size of the kitchen aisle is not reserved, it may not be noticed when there are fewer people. If one more person is added, it will immediately feel crowded. Then how wide is the kitchen aisle?
The minimum limit value of the aisle width is ≥70 cm. 80 cm is the most comfortable to use for a single person. It is often used for two people to use the kitchen, and it is recommended to use it above 90 cm.
If the kitchen is too small, it is not recommended to sacrifice the aisle space to make a U-shaped kitchen, but the non-standard U-shaped one below is quite desirable.
Small appliance operation table ≥28 cm
Kitchen space is limited, and it is impossible to make a standard U-shaped kitchen. When the aisle width is sufficient, the L-shaped kitchen can be upgraded to a small U-shaped one.
On the opposite side of the operating table, add a small appliance operating table to expand the capacity. The cabinet below can also alleviate the storage pressure of the kitchen.
Because the width of most small appliances is greater than 25 cm, the limit size of the small appliance operating table should be ≥28 cm. If it is too small, the appliances cannot be put down.
The depth of the wall cabinet is ≤35 cm
In order to avoid encounters during operation, the depth of the wall cabinet is generally thinner than the cabinet, but how thinner is it? Many people don't know.
In fact, the thin size is basically the size of a human head and slightly moving, about 25 cm.
That is to say, the thickness of the wall cabinet is basically equal to the width of the cabinet -25 cm. For example, for a 60 cm cabinet, the thickness of the wall cabinet should be controlled within 60-25=35 cm.
The wall cabinet is ≥55 cm from the countertop
There is an embarrassing and realistic problem here, which is the height of the wall cabinet is from the countertop.
The height of 50-60 cm on the cabinet is the gold storage area. To ensure that the low point of the hanging cabinet falls to this area for easy storage and collection, the standard-sized hanging cabinet cannot reach the top.
cabinet to the top, either the top of it has to be a sealing board, or it has to be customized without standard, and the hanging cabinet is raised to 90 or even 100 cm.
The cabinet after the heightening faces two problems:
One is, after the heightening of the wall cabinet, it is inconvenient to pick up objects from high places.
There is no way, so you can only carry a stool to pick up items or use a high-level storage box with handles to change the convenience of picking items.
But then again, compared to holding a stool, I think the high-position storage box is safer and more convenient.
Anyway, you just need to use a storage box in the cabinet. If you buy it as a storage box with handles designed underneath, it not only stores things but also ensures convenience in handling. Isn’t it the best of both worlds?
Second, the height of the range hood is not suitable. Generally, the top range hood requires 65-75 cm from the countertop, and the side suction requires 35-45 cm.
is too high or too low, which will affect the oil smoke absorption effect. The method you can take is to paste a layer of anti-oil stickers on the wall.
Transparent anti-grey stickers can almost be invisible and can ensure the appearance of the kitchen to the greatest extent. After
is pasted, there is basically no way to see that the film is pasted.
is also easy to clean. After there is oil stain, just wipe it off directly. It does not leak oil and is only oily. While protecting the wall, the beautiful seams will not discolor due to oil stains.
refrigerator thickness ≥60 cm
refrigerator thickness ≥60 cm, which is a conservative size, because most embedded refrigerators have thicknesses around 60 cm. There are also thicker ones. To be precise, you still have to determine the refrigerator model in advance.
In addition to this, there is also a very critical point, which is also something that many people ignore, that is, when keeping the thickness of the refrigerator, the thickness of the refrigerator socket should be included.
Otherwise, if you enter the refrigerator later, the thickness of the socket is ignored, which will cause the refrigerator to protrude, affecting the beauty, which will be too much of a loss.
However, there is also a better solution, which is that once ignored, it can also be compensated by replacing it with an embedded socket in the later stage. Although a socket wasted, it was a good idea to remedy it.
As for the back heat dissipation problem that many people are worried about, it actually does not exist. Most refrigerators nowadays have heat dissipation at the bottom.
