The kitchen is an important place in the house. After all, this is where family dinners take place, which means it should be cozy.
In addition, it is important to remember that, first and foremost, it should be convenient to cook and do other household chores.
Therefore, if you are planning to renovate your kitchen but do not want to contact designers, it is important to consider the following points so that you do not have to redo anything.
The sink is too small
This is often done in small kitchens, but it ends up being inconvenient to wash dishes. It is better to make the work area smaller, but put the sink in a convenient place.
Shelves instead of drawers
Don't skimp on drawers. They help keep things tidy.
Inconvenient placement of household appliances
You should not install such devices above head level. The optimal height is up to 150 cm.
Narrow passages between cabinets
This mistake is often made when arranging a kitchen in compact apartments.
It is necessary to take into account that the distance between the headset and the table should be at least 90 cm. If the area does not allow, then you should choose a small table or even a folding one.
Sockets
There definitely can't be too many of them in the kitchen. It's better to make a plan in advance where they need to be installed.
Incorrect corner joint
The question is relevant when planning a corner kitchen. You should check the handles of all drawers in advance so that they do not touch or interfere.
Zoning
It is necessary to take into account every little thing in order to live in comfort in the future. Therefore, it is worth thinking in advance where exactly the dishes will be stored, and where the textiles and other necessary things.
Light
One chandelier in the kitchen is not enough. Each zone should have its own lighting. Therefore, it is advisable to think in advance about the location of the lighting for the dining area, work area and sink.
Counter
If you don't take into account the height of the gas meter, a problem may arise.
Compliance of the project and the premises
Experienced owners know that it is better to check and recheck the dimensions of the furniture, the necessary distances and even the angles several times to ensure that everything necessary fits.
