1. Arranging Kitchen Space: Where Family Affection Bonds
Returning to the cozy warmth after a tiresome day's work, you always yearn for moments of joy, sharing, and care from every family member. And the kitchen has long been a tranquil haven for many. Rain or shine, near or far, people often crave those family meals right in the snug kitchen, indulging in dishes cooked by mother, don't they? Let's delve into the art of arranging the family kitchen in the article below!
1. Lighting and Ventilation
Nowadays, lighting and ventilation equipment (fans, exhaust fans...) allow families to maximize direct interaction with natural elements. A kitchen with sufficient lighting and ventilation will bring comfort and tranquility to family meals. Additionally, this practice will deter the growth of mold, bacteria, and minimize cooking odors. It provides your family with a fresh, healthy atmosphere.
2. Layout of Kitchen Space
Kitchen counters are typically arranged in an L-shape or U-shape. However, you need to ensure that the distances between counters and between appliances are reasonable for convenience and to prevent interference (including the refrigerator, stove, washing machine, drawers for food and utensils).
Additionally, spaces above and below kitchen shelves should be utilized for hanging cabinets, shelves, kitchen cabinets, or even washing machines.
There's a common tip employed by interior designers, which involves creating a triangular shape with the sink - refrigerator - cooking area with a side not exceeding 3m for ease of movement and completing tasks in the kitchen.
3. Arrangement of Key Appliances
Sink
The sink is deemed the most utilized kitchen appliance. According to interior design experts, you should position the sink in a relatively central location, enabling observation of the surrounding space and related items such as kitchen cabinets, gas stoves, dining tables,... they must be placed within sight and not obscured by any objects.
Refrigerator
When arranging the refrigerator in the family kitchen, you need to consider the necessary space so that when you open the door, it does not obstruct. The refrigerator is frequently used during cooking, ingredient preparation, meals, after meals, as well as during leisure and relaxation. Therefore, arranging the refrigerator is crucial. However, it's important to note that the refrigerator should not be placed opposite or near the stove because the heat from the stove and the cold air from the refrigerator will affect the lifespan of the appliances and the health of your family.
Cooking Area
Gas stoves and microwaves are increasingly popular due to their convenience and cleanliness. The cooking area must be arranged against a solid wall (without windows) and avoid gusts of wind that can extinguish the flames or pose dangers to your family.
Conclusion
Whether big or small, the kitchen is the heart of the home and where meals are created to sustain us. Nowadays, the kitchen is not only used for cooking but also for various family activities. Family dinners are often enjoyed right in your kitchen. Family meals become more enjoyable when everyone gathers in the kitchen to share life stories.
