Finished cabinet VS custom cabinet? How to choose?
The biggest difference between finished cabinets and customized cabinets is "price". The finished cabinet with a price above is similar to the "assembly line customization" in the factory. Basically, they are unified and standardized products. You can buy it directly in the store and then go back and install it yourself, which is more advantageous than the price. In the early stage, a designer will come to the door to measure the size, and in the later stage, the function will be customized according to family needs, and then production will be carried out. Later workers will come to the door to install. Although the price of customized cabinets is relatively high, they can be personalized and family-oriented, which is very suitable for users who have special requirements and want to save time and effort.
It is recommended that two brands of finished cabinets, IKEA and nitori, are representatives of low price and high value.
I like Nordic style and choose IKEA, and I like Japanese style and choose nitori.
If you want to store it cleverly, you'd better customize the cabinet.
When it comes to rich functions, it must be that custom cabinets have advantages. Customized cabinets can be stored according to family types, making use of many available places.
From the space point of view, it can save space and increase storage. From the inside of the cabinet, it can increase storage areas and functions, which is convenient for our lives.
Although customized cabinets are rich in functions, there is also a defect that once they are designed, they cannot be adjusted. On the contrary, some finished cabinets can be disassembled and readjusted.
Modular design makes it more possible for some people who can't remember clearly.
How to design customized cabinets?
1. Does the cabinet need to be slotted? There are grooves in the middle of many cabinets in life, so you can add some lights to the grooves. What can this groove be used for?
The groove of the porch cabinet is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper groove can be used to put some commonly used small objects, such as "keys, hats". The groove designed under the cabinet is used to put the shoe changing area. This design is close to our usage habits.
Another form of groove is sideboard, and the groove of sideboard can put some kitchen utensils, such as "coffee machine, bread machine" and so on.
2. How to design a cabinet with a top, what should I pay attention to? At present, the design of many apartment types and cabinets is based on minimalism, and cabinets with tops are generally chosen, because cabinets with tops can not only keep the space simple and beautiful, but also increase some storage. So what should we pay attention to during the decoration process?
1. Because it involves decoration construction, check whether the ceiling is flush, how to make the ceiling and how to make the roof plastering line ... These projects are likely to increase the decoration quotation, so it is best to confirm with the decoration company before signing the renovation contract.
The length and width of domestic standard plates are 2440* 1220mm, which means that cabinets over 2.4m will be divided into upper and lower sections from the outside.
Some people think that the two cabinets are not good-looking, preferring that the cabinets are only 2.4 meters high, and the cabinets are all partially suspended ceilings.
The cost of this part of the ceiling must be communicated with the decoration company in the early stage.
In addition, the deformation of the cabinet door must be considered when making the top cabinet, so it is generally recommended to put a straightener on the cabinet door when making the cabinet door more than 2 meters.
3. How to choose the opening and closing mode of the cupboard door?
Common opening and closing methods of cupboard doors are 1, sliding door 2, horizontal door 3 and folding door.
Sliding door is a popular cupboard door in recent two years, but there are some defects in its use. For example, you can't open both sides at the same time, so if you want to see what clothes are in use, you need to look for them separately, so you can't see them at a glance.
Moreover, the track of some sliding doors is very particular, and the cost will be extra.
The horizontal door can be fully opened, and the interior can be seen at a glance. The cupboard door can be made very narrow, with a width of about 40cm, which does not take up much space when opened. As long as there is more than 60cm space in front of the wardrobe, you can use the horizontal door.
If you really feel that there is no room to open the door, then choose a folding door.
4. What are the styles of cupboard doors and how to choose them?
Personally, Bian Xiao prefers minimalist cupboard doors, that is, solid-colored horizontal doors emphasize vertical lines, which can make the floors taller and more versatile.
Of course, in some specific styles, cupboard doors need to be decorated, such as American style and luxury. In style, more attention is paid to the symmetry of lines, and some decorative embellishments will be embedded.
Cement ash flat door is a newly popular door panel style, which is suitable for modern wind and industrial wind. The mottled texture of cement ash has a tough masculine temperament.
