The design or remodeling a kitchen is an exciting project. But between the foliation catalogs and preparing the first meal, a few steps of reflection does not fail, otherwise useless to travel miles to survey a kitchen evil practice. Here are the important points to be addressed to complete such a project.
Planning
The first point in a renovation project is the study of resources and budget . A kitchen kit costs about 30% cheaper than cooking turnkey finishing equal. Are you able to build your kitchen yourself? It is also an economy option. A kitchen is not composed only of caissons Furniture and appliances, it must also count with the cornices, trim the sides, spinners end, light block, etc. … In fact, people often underestimate the costs and do the budget that 60% of the actual cost of a kitchen.
Before you start leafing through catalogs, devote some time to comment on how you use your kitchen. Which meals do you take in the kitchen? How many people are atablées? Do you ever find it to have 4 pots on the fire at the same time? Practice your recycling? (I hope). What are the utensils you use most? We all have in our kitchen habits and good personal development of furniture must match. Your kitchen should look like and you simplify your life, take the time to analyze your behavior to design a kitchen to your image.
To choose the style of your kitchen , start by browsing the catalog or surf the Internet. The kitchen designers often group kitchens in three categories: modern, classical, traditional. It is projected easily in a kitchen such as those proposed by the catalogs, but few are those among us who live in a loft or a renovated old house with wooden beams and antique feel. It must pass out of the dream and replicate the style of furniture in the space available and give the style of cooking with one of the apartment in general.
and designs Measures
Begin by drawing a sketch of the Part of hands on which we do not forget to see the location of doors and windows (and their direction of opening), the arrival and removal of existing water, power (or possibly gas) existing and radiators.
Draw a plan then the kitchen scale is essential to realize the place that takes a stand. There are software cheap (ten euros) that allow you to create your own kitchen in three dimensions. It is not so easy to imagine what we see in 3D on a 2D plane. A kitchen design software for 3D is a very useful tool and a great toy to give your kitchen in any form that allows your imagination.
implantation
The type of location (in I, L or U) depends largely on the room, but the arrangement of furniture is more flexible and should be carefully considered. We distinguish three main zones , each corresponding to a type of activity:
1. Preparation: It includes everything that is here to prepare a meal (food, utensils). It ensures that these elements are not removed from not more than 2.
2. Cooking: This area therefore includes the hob and oven. It has nearly the hob what we use when we cook a meal (pots, utensils, oil and condiments). All these elements must be at hand, ideally in drawers or cabinets located below or beside the hob.
3. Washing: This area is used both during preparation and after the meal. It consists primarily of a sink and often a dishwasher. The sink is the most used in the kitchen, its access must be easy and convenient, with clearance for spinning / drying dishes and pots. He is placed in front of a window for willingly receive an ideal lighting. The dishwasher is possible-if placed nearby (usually beneath the rack) to use the same inlet pipes and drainage.
To position elements , we begin with the least flexible: d First, the sink (which depends on the position of pipes), the hob and hood, pillars and furniture items down, and finally the cupboards.
Some tips : Furniture lower drawers are handy for storing pots. Place a group taken along the wall to connect the appliances. Lights under wall units are very useful to have direct light on the work plan. Think of your back, put the oven in height rather than the hob. Please strongly encouraged to practice the sort of garbage. The sorting bins are now available with several compartments for example glass, aluminum and iron, batteries, compost.
Do not: The outer shelves are very pretty in the catalogs, but in reality they grease and get dirty quickly. The kink (a cabinet front or back-by the others) and worked on set pieces are all ideal spots for dirt and make cleaning a bit more tedious.
