Designing a custom-made kitchen: lifehacks to improve the hostess’s convenience
there are many nuances in the kitchen space that contribute to user comfort. Or vice versa – it is minimized because a number of objects are located inconveniently. To avoid such situations, weigh all the arguments and expectations of those family members who will spend more time in the kitchen than others. Make drawings, several different sketches. And only after that contact the designers. By the way, Call furniture is very popular in Russia. The Belarusian manufacturer aims to maximize customer satisfaction when designing kitchens, including.
Oven height
It is very important at what height the oven and microwave are located. For a family where it is customary to cook a lot, this is a fundamental point. More precisely, for the hostess. From earlier traditions (pre-perestroika period) everyone remembers well: if there is an oven, then at the bottom, because there are burners on top of the stove.
Life showed something else. It is better to place the hinged oven door at the level of the user’s upper body. So that when open it is approximately level with the waist. Taking out a baking sheet or large frying pan with hot food will be much more convenient than lifting it from below almost from the floor.
What place to determine for the microwave
Returning to the “old” times: if someone had a microwave, then most often the decision was made to put it on the table. The inconvenience here is the following: when opening the door, you need free space near the device. That is, this area on the table must be kept unoccupied at all times.
Another solution is to hang the microwave above the table. Then you will gain space on it, and it is convenient to monitor the heating process if the microwave oven door is at eye level (or slightly lower). If you carefully study ready-made Belarusian kitchens in catalogs, you will probably notice: a layout of any complexity is possible. The main thing is that you decide for yourself where everything is located. After all, it’s up to you to use the furniture and gadgets, not the manufacturer.
