Advantages and disadvantages of kitchen cabinets with or without cabinets.
Is the kitchen equipped with hanging cabinets or not? When choosing cabinets, we often hesitate to install hanging cabinets, or choose to install them ourselves because they are installed in other people's homes. I have the following suggestions on whether to install a hanging cabinet:
1. The "good" side of installing the hanging cabinet is also the "bad" reason for not installing the hanging cabinet. (1) The installation of hanging cabinets can increase the storage space of the kitchen, which can be doubled basically if conditions permit, greatly improving the storage rate of kitchen utensils such as pots, bowls, spoons and basins, and effectively reducing the clutter of the kitchen when placed on the countertop.
⑵ As the main furniture in the kitchen, the "integrity" of cabinets can improve the decorative effect of the kitchen. The kitchen has a good integrity by installing the same hanging cabinet as the ground cabinet, while installing a hanging cabinet different from the ground cabinet in the kitchen will become a "fun space" and make cooking a bit boring. Without the installation of hanging cabinets, the decorative effect of cabinets on the kitchen will be weakened.
(3) Because of the thickness of the basement cabinets, not installing hanging cabinets will increase the difficulty of cleaning the high position of the wall, especially near the top surface, and the installation of hanging cabinets is generally "connected" with the top surface, so this problem can be solved well.
(4) The installation of the hanging cabinet can well shield the necessary pipes and lines, and make the kitchen more neat and tidy in visual effect, such as shielding the pipes and bolt lines of the range hood and shielding the kitchen flue. Without hanging cabinets, these may be exposed and affect the beauty of the kitchen.
5. After installing the hanging cabinet, setting lights under the hanging cabinet will make the cabinet countertop have a good lighting environment, so you don't have to worry about the shadow caused by the body blocking the light on the top when cutting vegetables, and at the same time you can increase the decorative effect on the kitchen; If you don't install a hanging cabinet, you won't have this effect.
2. The "bad" side of installing the hanging cabinet is also the "good" side of not installing the hanging cabinet. (1) The cost of making hanging cabinets is definitely higher than that of not making hanging cabinets, which increases the customization cost of cabinets, so you should take your own decoration budget into account.
(2) If the kitchen area is small, especially when the kitchen is narrow, the installation of hanging cabinets will bring some sense of depression to the kitchen, which will be more obvious when the hanging cabinets are dark; Not only will you not feel depressed if you don't hang the cupboard, but you will also increase the layering and depth of the kitchen because of the thickness of the cupboard.
(3) The thickness or installation height of the hanging cabinet is unreasonable, and tall people may bump their heads; If there is no hanging cabinet installed, this situation will definitely not happen.
Advantages and disadvantages of kitchen hanging cabinets (1) The practicality of hanging cabinets in kitchen decoration, first of all, many people may think that one more storage space at home can accommodate many items, but often the fact is that there is a lot of space, but it is not necessarily used. The height of the hanging cabinets at home is basically in the position where it is inconvenient for us to take and put things. It is inconvenient to take things inside and put them outside, and it is not safe to open the door and fall. In fact, the space design inside the hanging cabinet is also very wasteful. Many of them have no shelves inside, and most of the space above them is idle. Too much or too much, and I'm afraid it can't bear the load; So its utilization rate is not high.
(2) aesthetics of hanging cabinets People who live in buildings at home have almost all kitchens on the balcony, and the area is not very large. If you install another hanging cabinet, it will not only be encountered sometimes, but also affect the lighting at home. The most important thing is that you will feel depressed.
(3) The hanging cabinets collide or get in the way. Maybe everyone was accidentally hit by a hanging cabinet while cooking in the kitchen? Sometimes it's hard to get things.
(4) The hanging cabinet is not easy to clean. The hanging cabinets in the kitchen are also easy to hide evil people and shelter evil people. Every time I clean the closet, I have to move a stool to step on it. It is also quite inconvenient.
Tips:
Based on the above, we can see that the utilization rate of hanging cabinets at home is not very high. Only when the basement is installed can the storage space be maximized. At the same time, it is best to design multiple drawers, and then divide the internal space by pulling baskets and grids, so that items can be taken care of and placed neatly inside.
Precautions for installation of kitchen hanging cabinets (1) Installation height of hanging cabinets. The suitable height of the lower edge of the hanging cabinet from the ground is above 1.6m and below 1.5m, which will affect the use of the cabinet and produce a certain sense of oppression. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the distance between the hanging cabinet and the ground cabinet is about 700 mm.
(2) Thickness of the hanging cabinet The optimal size of the hanging cabinet is generally about 300 ~ 350 mm, which can effectively avoid the situation that people with a height of 1.8 meters will not touch their heads when operating the cabinet countertop.
(3) Internal separation of hanging cabinets I think that selecting some cabinets in the hanging cabinets to set up upper and lower compartments can not only increase the storage capacity of cabinets, but also meet the requirements of people with a height of 1.6 meters, which is convenient to use.
(4) Whether the family needs to install hanging cabinets for storage space, I think it is more important to consider the use needs of the family.
