Misunderstanding 1: Blindly choosing an open plan
In current apartment designs, the kitchen area is often enlarged or integrated with the dining room. Many people also imitate foreign kitchen designs and The kitchen is designed to integrate dining and kitchen, or even dining, kitchen and guest integration. This design certainly has its positive side. When the housewife is working hard, she always has her family accompanying her in her sight, which is very humane. However, considering the habits of Chinese people, experts suggest that this design should be used with caution, especially those who like to enjoy delicious food at home. If you really like this style of design, you might as well improve it by "closing" the cooking stove and using glass around it, which not only blocks the view, but also blocks oil fumes.
Misunderstanding 2: Range hoods are not practical
When imported brands of integrated kitchens first appeared on the market, the shape of the range hood and the harmonious design with the overall kitchen caught people's attention. Bright, flat-panel body design, simple and stylish, although the price of each unit is more than 3,000 yuan, there is still a market. However, judging from current market feedback information, many flat-panel range hoods are not suitable for national conditions.

Misunderstanding 3: Using inferior hardware
The hardware on the cabinets can be said to be the most important part of the overall kitchen, even more important than the cabinet plates and countertops. It directly affects Regarding the overall quality of cabinets, based on years of experience in foreign kitchen development, the quality of hardware has become an important indicator of the quality of cabinets. But it has not attracted the attention of domestic cabinet manufacturers, let alone consumers.
Cabinet doors need to be opened and closed thousands of times. It is difficult for domestic hinges to meet this requirement. Therefore, consumers must be willing to spend money when customizing cabinets. At present, most domestic cabinets use domestic hardware, mainly to reduce costs and use low prices as the main means to win customers. However, at present, there are also some brands of cabinets that clearly indicate the brand of hardware used, or indicate the prices of different grades, giving consumers a choice.
Misunderstanding 4: The operating area is unreasonable
When decorating the kitchen, we must emphasize practicality. Not only must the operating area be reasonably arranged in conjunction with the operating process, but also the height of the countertop and cabinet height must be Issues such as thickness and brightness of lights must be adjusted according to the specific needs of the owner. The opinion of the "chef" at home is very important. Try to have an in-depth communication with the cabinet designer after considering it all.
