Placement of furniture and household appliances: how important is the question
If you believe the research, even in a small kitchen with a misplaced furniture, the owner can go for a day to 10 or even 12 km. It is natural that in the evening she was practically standing on his feet. And if we add more and the fact that in the hands of her always something is? Therefore it is necessary to understand how the arrange the furniture and household appliances in the kitchen so as to reduce the "Drum" mistress kilometers.
The basic rule of "work triangle"
"Work triangle" the researchers called the basic trajectory of women in cooking. It is three points - stove, refrigerator, sink. But here you can enable more and work area. In order to become a kitchen for housewives more comfortable, you must:
- Minimize the distance between the points.
- Get rid of items that may interfere with moving between these points.
Ideally, the distance between these places should be between one and a half to three meters.
Placement of furniture in the kitchen
For small kitchens the most convenient would be L-shaped arrangement of kitchen units, But the larger ones require a different approach. Here the best furniture and appliances placed the letter "P". In this case, on the peninsula, situated in the center of the kitchen should be cooker and a work area on the bridge washing. A refrigerator is better to place the wall.
Important and height as the floor, and hanging lockers. Ideally, the following parameters must be met:
- worktop - 90 cm from the floor;
- wall cabinets - 1.8-2 m.
However, these figures may vary depending on the growth of the hostess. Here are just average statistical data.
Home appliances: the impact of its placement
Here it is necessary to approach each case individually. Not all housewives use the same appliances. You need to understand which ones are most in demand in the preparation of food and place them in a kitchen area.
The oven is located below the cooktop, as it is not too good option. Much easier if it will be located at the level of 80-90 cm from the floor.
The nuances of the various lighting kitchen areas
Do not think that the more light the better. Perhaps this statement is true for the working area, but there are some nuances. The light should not blind mistress. Ideally, it is directed from the bottom of suspended cabinets directly into the working zone. But its spread to the sides completely useless - for this is natural light or ceiling fixture.
Illumination of a dining area, where the hostess may sit and rest, should be soft and non-intrusive. After all, people get tired not only the physical but also the emotional stress. And that lighting plays a key role in ensuring peace.
Kitchen interior design
Thinking about how to facilitate the work of the hostess in the kitchen, few people think about design. Meanwhile, the color palette of the walls, the headset should be happy or calm and not leave indifferent, if not annoying. Therefore to begin remaking simple cuisine in an ideal should be more at the stage of repairs and the purchase of furniture.
The location and number of outlets
This issue is most acute, especially in light of the steady increase in domestic appliances. It is worth asking yourself what to do easier - press the button on the unit or the right, first pull the plug of the unit, then plug it in another, only then launch the appropriate instrument? The answer is obvious. And if you think about how many times, along with other useless produced such actions, it becomes clear how much effort have to spend hostess.
Loading the dishwasher and the necessary utensils
Such items should be located next to the sink near the work area. Otherwise, the owner will have to re-run of the kitchen is at one, then for another subject. Speaking of cleaning. It should be deep enough so that it fits easily into the largest of pans used for cooking.
Significantly relieve the owner setting the dishwasher. One need only imagine that the owner, who has spent half a day at the stove, sat down with all the dining. After receiving household food differ from room to room to rest, and she was again in the affairs - in fact need more and dishes to wash.
Cooker hood: what does it affect
This question also can not lose sight of. If the kitchen is too hot and humid, it is often in cooking various dishes, the owner starts to get tired quickly. And in winter, when windows can not be opened, it becomes a major problem at all. For its solution should take into account two main points:
- installation requires hood above the cooking surface. Such a device will immediately remove the vapor rising from the plate.
- Providing compulsory ventilationWhich will be activated if necessary.
When forced exhaust device is necessary to pay special attention to the engine. It should work very quietly. Surely everyone noticed that being in a noisy crowd, a person gets tired much faster. There is the same situation. Therefore, ensuring comfort impossible without the quietness.
