Don't make these trivial kitchen planning mistakes

For a Russian, a kitchen is one of the most important places in an apartment. We spend a lot of time there, and not just eat and cook, so the kitchen should be not only beautiful, but also comfortable. In this article, we have collected the most common mistakes that are made when planning a kitchen.

Laminate flooring

Laminate in Russia is popular: they are trying to put it everywhere, except, perhaps, in the bathroom. So - kitchen and laminate are also incompatible concepts. Even the most moisture-resistant specimen may swell over time, it will not be convenient to walk on it, and it will not look aesthetically pleasing.

One of the best options for the kitchen is linoleum, the second most popular is tiles that can be made with heating. Both of these options are much more practical than a wooden plank on the floor.

Distances

Stove and refrigerator - this technique should not be located close to each other. The refrigerator will heat up from the stove and fail in an attempt to hold on to the cold. The recommended distance is at least 20 centimeters.

The stove and the sink must be at least 40 cm apart from each other: high humidity is dangerous for the operation of both gas and electric stoves.

Ideally, you should get a working triangle like this:

Convenient washing

The sink must also be chosen wisely: it is better to take the form that is comfortable, and not the one that is beautiful. The sink should be more spacious, a depth of less than 15 centimeters is not practical.

A plinth for every kitchen!

Beautiful legs by the drawers in the kitchen look impressive, but in reality it is extremely impractical. Dust, debris constantly accumulates under unframed furniture, round food products and toys roll away. Therefore, it is better to initially order furniture with a plinth, this will save you from constant cleaning.

Making corners useful

Every kitchen has at least one corner, and it is imperative to make it useful. The best thing you can think of for a corner cabinet is a swivel carousel. So you can use a huge amount of usable space by removing household chemicals or products into the usually idle storage areas.
