Kitchen layout and storage

Storage itself is a complex project, and everyone’s living habits are very different. Being able to solve the most superficial storage problems can already make life a lot smoother.

The kitchen is really a magical place. Even fairies who can’t cook mostly hope to have a beautiful and tidy kitchen with a dazzling array of tableware and utensils. This is where the sense of ritual in life comes from.

Storage rules

If you want your kitchen to be clutter-free, the most important thing to consider is not the storage space, but the layout. Only when you have clarified the movement lines and processes in the kitchen and made a reasonable plan can it help to place and store the corresponding items.

The most common kitchen moving processes and corresponding areas are as follows:

Collect ingredients → wash → cut vegetables → cook → plate

 

Step 1: Spatial induction

Therefore, the general idea of ​​the kitchen layout is very clear:

The easier it is to pick up, place and clean the tools used in the corresponding area, the easier it will be to return them to their places. Returning them easily is very helpful for storage habits. It is a good habit to maintain tidiness. The more things pile up, the more they pile up and become more cluttered. This is often because there is no Return things to their original places in a timely manner.

Step 2: Spatial induction

Today’s cabinets are all systematic combinations of base cabinets + middle consoles + high cabinets. The space planning is relatively fixed, and the storage ideas are also relatively fixed:

Base cabinets are used to place commonly used large and heavy items;

The middle area is used to place commonly used and lightweight items, and this area is more focused on work than storage;

High cabinets store infrequently used and lightweight items.

middle operating area

As the most central location of the kitchen space, it is also the most frequently operated and important place in the kitchen. We can place a spice rack here to put all the spice bottles together so that they can be used easily. In addition, you can also put egg storage racks, paper towel racks, dish racks, can racks and other commonly used products.

We can put bowls and spoons in the cabinet below. One is close to the disinfection cabinet, and the other is because these are fragile items. You can put divided storage racks in the drawer to sort the cutlery. You can also hang a storage basket on the cabinet door to store items such as plastic wrap, plastic wrap, and garbage bags.

In the sink position, you can also place a storage rack to store detergent, spare gloves, pots and other items.
