Cabinet is the top priority in kitchen decoration.
The cabinet is not well done, which will not only affect the aesthetics, but will also bring many inconveniences to future living and life.
In this issue, Xiaodong has compiled the "7-pack 7-pack" for decorating cabinets for everyone, hoping that it will be helpful to you who have not yet been decorated!
1. The cabinet body should be equipped with multi-layer board , and not with granular board
. If you are making a wardrobe, shoe cabinet, wine cabinet, and using granular board cabinet body, it is still barely enough. Because the installation location of this type of cabinet is relatively dry, without moisture or moisture, and is not easy to deform.
cabinets with granular boards, I advise you to forget it. The biggest disadvantage of particle boards is that they have poor moisture resistance and heavy water vapor in the kitchen. Even if the edge seal is good, the moisture will still enter through the hinge hole and the connecting part position over time. It is inevitable that they will deform and crack over time.
In contrast, the characteristics of solid wood multi-layer boards are that they are good moisture-proof when exposed to water, and their stability is stronger than that of particle boards. They are the best choice for making cabinets and bathroom cabinets .
In addition, no matter what cabinet body is used, moisture-proof aluminum foil must be pasted under the sink cabinet to prevent your sewer pipe from being blocked and leaked due to the structure, so as not to damage the cabinet you made for a lot of money.
2, install quartz stone countertop , do not install other materials
At present, the common countertop materials are stainless steel, rock slab and quartz stone . Although different materials have their own characteristics, from the perspective of practicality, it is undeniable that quartz stone is the first to bear the brunt.
First, stainless steel countertop is characterized by not fearing oil stains and strong corrosion resistance. But the material is too cold and the appearance is not good, and it looks very much like the kitchen of a large canteen. In addition, after using it, the bumps and bumps are all scratches and pits, which are difficult to repair.
Let’s talk about the rock slab countertop, which is of high appearance and top-notch quality, but the fatal disadvantage of this thing is that it is too brittle and is afraid of cracking easily.
In contrast, the quartz stone countertop has the most balanced performance, scratch-resistant and wear-resistant, and has high hardness. The key is that the price is affordable, and choosing a solid color quartz stone can also be considered as a beauty.
3. Install double-decorative door panels, not install skin-sensitive membrane door panels
Don’t over-pursuing the aesthetics of the cabinets, and choose unpractical materials to make cabinet doors. For example, although the skin-feeling membrane cabinet door has first-class texture, it has poor practicality.
material is a perfect fingerprint collector, and it is very delicate and sticks to oil. If you apply it twice, the paint will fall off. It is nicknamed by many netizens as the "little ancestor" of the kitchen and cannot be afforded.
If you consider economical and practical, the cabinet doors are made of double finishes. Not only are they selective in colors, but they are also cheap, and they are also durable and easy to clean. Of course, if you care about your appearance, you can also use the most popular high-gloss PET material to make cabinet doors. In addition to being more expensive and easy to scratch on the highlighted surface, there is no major problem.
4. The ceiling is made of a wall cabinet, and no seams are installed on the top are left. If you don’t ask the merchants who customize the cabinets in advance, it is likely that the ceiling is not made of the ceiling by your home, because you will generally only give you the default height.
You should know that the kitchen has a large oil smoke. If the wall cabinet is not covered, the disadvantage brought by long-term use in the later period is that a layer of sticky oil will accumulate above the wall cabinet, which is not only very difficult to clean, but also a gathering place for cockroaches.
Therefore, the ceiling of the cabinet must be designed with a ceiling, which will not only increase the overall aesthetics, but also avoid dirt and dirt on the top. With a high budget, just do a one-door-to-top design, with the hanging cabinet and the ceiling flush without leaving any gaps. If you want to save money, you can also add a ceiling panel between the hanging cabinet and the ceiling.
5. Install under-counter basin in the sink, and do not install on-top or Taichung basin
countertop sink to make upper basin . The advantage is that it is simple to install and save trouble, and you can apply glue directly. But people who have used it know that it is difficult to clean up countertop garbage, and the glued area is prone to mold and discoloration.
In fact, the shortcomings of Taichung basin are also obvious.First, the so-called Taichung basin needs to be embedded in the countertop, which requires high installation process and load-bearing ability. In addition, no matter how the Taichung basin and the countertop are handled, there will always be a gap, which requires glue. Over time, water seepage and mold cannot be escaped.
So, making an undercounter basin is the most correct choice.
Many people say that the undercounter basin will fall off. The fundamental reason is that glue has a lifespan and only glue is used, so it is normal to fall off. Therefore, when installing, you must use metal snaps to fix it, and then apply glue and you will be foolproof.
6. Install invisible handles, not install explicit handles
If conditions permit, it is recommended to make invisible handles for the cabinet. Traditional surface-mount handles not only affect the overall appearance of the cabinet, but also over time, the surface is covered with oil and dirty, which is difficult to clean.
Currently, there are several forms of invisible cabinet doors. First of all, it is not recommended to make rebounders. The cabinet doors of the cabinet need to be opened and closed frequently, and the damage rate of this thing is very high. Secondly, don’t make this type of embedded handle. The sharp angle is particularly sharp and it is easy to cut the hand if you are not careful, which poses safety risks.
The safest and beautiful invisible handle can be achieved through door panel design. For example, the door panel of the hanging cabinet can be lowered by one centimeter, so that it can be opened and closed easily. The door panel of the floor cabinet can be matched with L-shaped aluminum profile , and then it can be tilted by 2 cm. This does not affect the beauty, and it is also very convenient to clean and hygienic in the later stage.
7. Install drawer cabinets in floor cabinets, and do not install partition cabinets
. If you want to increase the practicality of the cabinets, the most direct way is to create more drawer cabinets in floor cabinet design. Don’t make too many partitions for floor cabinets. People who often cook know that the space on the upper floor of partition cabinets is basically wasted, and it is not convenient to get things.
makes more drawers, such as dishes and pot drawers, which are very practical. After being pulled open, the items placed inside are also clear at a glance, making it easy to pick them up.
In addition, for this type of special hardware, it is recommended that the slide rails be pulled with damping bottom support, rather than using three-section rails without damping.
is written at the end:
The cabinets in the home should be both beautiful and practical. The above 7 points must be kept in mind. Doing as you do will at least help you get less trapped. In addition, I will share two more practical designs, such as the faucet of the water basin. Try to choose the one that is pulled to facilitate cleaning of the sanitary dead corners in the sink. Secondly, a set of induction lights can be installed under the wall cabinet as auxiliary lighting in the operating area, which is particularly practical.
