The kitchen is not suitable for high and low counter design?

Friends who have done decoration work may have come across the concept of "high and low kitchen countertops". The so-called high and low kitchen worktops are to make the sink area and stove area at different heights. After all, we are cooking. The operation movements are different from when washing vegetables. If they are at the same height, it will always be inconvenient to use.

In fact, this is a very scientific, humane and considerate design concept, but it has always been underestimated. Therefore, in order to improve the kitchen use experience and make cooking easier, I still recommend that the kitchen worktop be made into a high or low table. Processing, the following design reference for high and low consoles, I hope it will be helpful to your decoration.

0 11. Why should the kitchen be designed with high and low tables?

The height of the cabinet should be determined according to the height of the user. Whether it is 10 cm higher or 10 cm lower often determines whether your kitchen is easy to use.

Let’s talk about the height of the sink and the stove. The sink is usually below the countertop. If you want to wash things, you have to bend down. Bending for a long time is very tiring. And the pot is above the countertop, so you have to hold your arms while cooking, which is very tiring after a long time.

Therefore, by raising the height of the sink and lowering the height of the stove, you get a high-low platform. Don't underestimate this little change, it will make a huge difference in people's experience. Besides, to make our own house as comfortable as possible, we need to optimize these details and make them more convenient for us to use.

Here is a reference. The specific details will of course depend on the height of the family. Generally speaking, the stove should be low, about 70-80 centimeters, and the sink top should be high, between 80-90 centimeters. That means the height difference between the two should be 10 centimeters.

There are also high and low table designs with three heights, the sink is high, the worktop is in the middle, and the stove is low. This is also very scientific, and of course it also depends on the height of the user.

0 33. Design points of high and low tables

So how to design high and low tables? You can start from the following points:

1. Sink The area is higher than the stove

If the structure of the kitchen at home is that the sink and the stove are on two walls, then the countertop can be made into two heights, and the "L" shaped corner can be used as a distinction. If it is a linear kitchen, then a gap needs to be made in the middle.

2. Three heights

The most important thing to distinguish is the height of the sink area and the cooking area, but in fact, with the vegetable cutting table, we actually need three height, so some families simply make the countertop three heights, or find another place to use as a cutting area, such as an island countertop.

3. The countertop in the upper area can store a washing machine and dishwasher

The countertop in the upper area is not stupid. It can store the washing machine here. If you buy a built-in washing machine, For a bowl machine, the height is also more suitable.

4. Height difference between high and low areas

The specific height of the kitchen countertop should be determined according to the height of the cook, but the height difference between the high and low tables should generally be 10 centimeters. Left and right are more appropriate.

In modern kitchen design, the basin countertop is high and the stove countertop is low. It not only conforms to the user's operating habits, but also conforms to ergonomics. It is more in line with the 63rd hexagram of the Book of Changes: "Water and fire are the aids" hexagram. Kan is water, Li is fire, water and fire intersect, water is on fire, and you're done. That is, already; Ji, accomplished.

0 55. Disadvantages of high and low tables

For babies with obsessive-compulsive disorder, high and low tables may be a bit awkward. If the kitchen space is not large enough, the staggered countertop will reduce the area of ​​the workbench and may affect the placement area of ​​electrical appliances. And unlike a whole countertop, high and low countertops are indeed more troublesome to clean, and there may be sanitary blind spots. In one case, the height difference may cause the countertop to crack and leak.

1. The height of the cabinets is reasonable

The height of the cabinets is generally 1.6 meters. If it is too short, it will block the view. Moreover, the kitchen as a whole looks very cramped and depressing. It is too high and cannot reach the cabinet doors.

2. Increase kitchen lighting

Generally, kitchens have only one light, located in the center of the ceiling. But in order to pursue a warm feeling, you can also install a small sensor light above the countertop. The warm yellow light shines on it every day. It will be very stylish when cooking, and it will feel like you are filming a movie. It is warm and cozy.

3. Use sockets with switches

Don’t be afraid that too many sockets will not look good. When the time comes there are not enough sockets, and it will be even worse if you connect a power strip here and a power strip there! Think about what furniture you will have in your kitchen, how it will be arranged, and then decide where the sockets will be.

Based on the above, why don’t you try one of the high and low tables with such a user-friendly design? I suggest you try it. After the sink is raised partially, you don’t have to bend down to wash vegetables. If the stove is lower, the cooking action will be smoother and more comfortable, and it will not affect the appearance of the kitchen~
