The most terrible mistakes seem the smallest and insignificant. But they are able to spoil the interior. And not only the visual image - even cook in this kitchen will be uncomfortable, and sometimes have to redo the repair again.

1. A combination of tile and laminate

It is believed that the tiles - the most practical flooring in the kitchen. But looks like it is not always beautiful, to the same tiled floor without heating the cold. Therefore, sometimes half a meter along the headset is placed tile, and then - laminate. This is acceptable in the kitchen-living room, but the room in square nut at the junction of two materials looks terrible.

"Under the nut will get wet and dirty conditions. Laminate flooring can swell "

2. The height of the upper cabinets

If the cabinet "does not reach" to the ceiling, then it will settle the dust. Wipe it extremely difficult - not to reach out to the corner. Behind the closed doors of the cabinet will not happen to the same regiment located just below, so wipe it easier.

"In an ideal kitchen is not necessary to turn off one appliance to include other"

For built-in appliances must be hidden at the bottom of the suite for small household appliances - in the worktop or on the apron. Sometimes it makes sense to install the sockets inside one of the cabinets or window slopes, if there will be equipment such as a toaster, kettle and coffee machine.

5. Stove in the wrong place

Any hob - a source of the fatty splashes. Even if you prepare very carefully, they can not be avoided. Therefore, it is not necessary to install the stove next to the drying dish or refrigerator. Last, and all can be damaged by such a warm neighborhood.

"Leave on both sides of the plate 30-60 cm. It is safe and convenient "

The proximity to the sink and did threatens burns if water splashes fall on red-hot frying pan with oil. Therefore, no matter how small the kitchen, set the plate with any other object can not be close.
