People spend most of their “home” life in the kitchen.
That is why it is simply necessary to make this room as cozy, comfortable and functional as possible. In addition, the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", designer Yulia Tychino believes it is important that the room is easy to maintain.
But unfortunately, when planning a kitchen, many mistakes are usually made. As a result, "visitors" experience persistent discomfort, and the owners are forced to spend time on frequent cleaning.
To prevent this from happening, we suggest you learn what not to do.
Incorrect height for kitchen appliances
The first mistake when arranging a kitchen is the wrong height for placing household appliances.
Often microwaves and ovens are installed too high or too low, which creates inconvenience when using
How to avoid this? It's simple: use your own height as a guide. Experts say that the optimal height is at the level of your waist.
If you follow this advice, you won't have to bend over every time to open the oven.
Heavy cabinets on light walls
Wall cabinets are an integral part of any kitchen. The most important thing you should do before installing them is to make sure the wall is strong.
Do not place storage systems on plasterboard partitions: most likely, they will not withstand the weight of the furniture. As a result, your loss will be not only the cabinets, but also the wall itself.
It is better to choose a load-bearing wall that can withstand the load of the upper cabinets and the dishes inside them.
"Wrong" sink
When choosing kitchen equipment, first consider its functionality and ease of use, and then its appearance.
This recommendation is especially relevant for the sink, which should be practical and roomy, so that you can easily place not just one plate, but all the dishes that need to be washed at once.
The optimal sink depth is 160-200 millimetres.
