HOW TO DESIGN KITCHEN

PHOTOS OF KITCHEN

HOW THE WORKSPACE SHOULD BE LIKE

PANTRY AREA :- FOOD STORAGE SPACE, CANNED GOODS, FRIDGESTORAGE AREA :- APPLIANCES, UTENSILS, COOKWARESINK AREA :- CLEANING AREAPREPARATION AREA :- IDEALLY A LARGE COUNTER SPACE TO WORK ONCOOKING AREA :- STOVE AND OVEN.

TYPES OF KITCHEN

THIS IS RELATED TO THE SPACE THAT THE DESIGN IS INTENDED FOR. THE MOST COMMONLY USED TYPES INCLUDE:LINEAR (OR TWO PARALLEL LINES)L-SHAPEDU-SHAPED

LOWER MODULE: 1 BOTTOM / 1 BACK / 2 SIDES / 1 SHELF / 1 OR 2 DOOR / BASE / FRAME BARSUPPER MODULE: 1 BOTTOM / 1 BACK / 2 SIDES / 1 TOP / 1 SHELF / 1 OR 2 DOORS / FRAME BARSTOWER MODULE 1 BOTTOM / 1 BACK / 2 SIDES / 1 TOP / SERIES OF SHELVES AND DOORS / BASE

THE MODUAL CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS

SECTIONAL VIEW

ELEVATIONAL VIEW

THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF MATERIALS FOR COUNTERTOPS. THE MOST COMMONLY USED ARE:

LAMINATE: THE BARE COUNTER IS COVERED WITH A SHEET OF HIGH-PRESSURE LAMINATE

STONE:THE MOST COMMONLY USED TYPES ARE QUARTZ, GRANITE AND MARBLE

OTHER: MATERIALS GENERALLY DERIVED FROM A COMPOUND SUCH AS ACRYLIC

COUNTERTROPES

BASEBOARDS

:- IN THE PART OF THE CABINATE, IT IS THE BEST TO HAVE A PRODUCT WITH INCREASED RESISTANCE TO MOISTURE, LIKE LAMINATE COVERED PLYWOOD.:- ANOTHER OPTION IS TO ADD A METAL OR PLASTIC ACCESSORIES.

ADJUSTMENT OF SPACE

:- USE SCREW PROTECTORS. THESE CAN BE HIDDEN WITH THE USE OF WOODEN DOWELS. THE PROCESS IS SLOWER AND MORE EXPENSIVE BUT LEAVES A BETTER APPEARANCE.

:- DISTANCING THE COUNTER TOP FROM THE CABINET IS A TREND. HOWEVER, WHEN DOING THIS YOU SHOULD LEAVE A LARGE ENOUGH SPACE (IDEALLY 30CM OR MORE) SO THAT IT IS EASY TO CLEAN. TIGHT SPACES MEAN MORE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE FURNITURE FROM USING WIPES OR A BROOM.

:- THE BASEBOARDS MUST BE MADE OF MORE RESISTANT MATERIALS. IT RECOMMENDED NOT TO USE THE SAME MELAMINE AS THE CABINETS SINCE YOU WON’T GET THE SAME LIFETIME USE AT FLOOR LEVEL.

RECOMMENDATIONS

:- THE QUALITY OF THE HARDWARE IS ESSENTIAL WHEN CREATING QUALITY FURNITURE. ITS LIFE IS MEASURED IN CYCLES AND THERE ARE SUBSTANTIAL VARIATIONS BETWEEN HARDWARE OF LOW AND HIGH QUALITY. A GOOD HINGE DETERMINES WHETHER OR NOT THE CABINET DOOR WILL FALL OFF.

:- WHEN DESIGNING HANDLELESS FURNITURE YOU HAVE TO USE A CERTAIN LOGICAL ORDER FOR OPENING THE DOORS. IDEALLY, USE DOUBLE DOOR MODULES AND IF THERE IS A SPACE FOR A MODULE WITH A SINGLE DOOR, PUT IT IN THE CORNER.

:- WHEN USING DOORS ABOVE APPLIANCES (OVEN, MICROWAVE) LEAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR YOUR HAND.
