Tidbits size kitchen design to increase storage space and efficiency, but reduce your kitchen

As an architect, I try to do the best way to make more efficient use at home and good to use for the square footage. In this article, I have to do with kitchen design, and how to make them more efficient in use and storage, making it more open than a standard kitchen, but do so in a smaller size (square footage costs money).

I am a big fan of the "Open Floor Plan", which has fewer walls and doors, with room together as a linked open space vision. Keep the GreatRoom, dining room and kitchen "open" (ie no walls between them) to help ensure that all rooms "feel great". Facilitate the removal of the wall helps open communication between the chambers. They do not feel isolated in the kitchen, removed a barrier wall, and so people do not take a step into the kitchen to talk with you. You can do it from the outside in the kitchen area.

Lazy Susan For Cabinets

Hold up the ceiling by placing them in a scissor trusses. You can upload your walls 8 feet, but the gapTruss (peak at 13-14 feet) will give you a lot of visual space and a less restricted. And you get a skylight in the kitchen. The opening of a skylight may be much larger than the same skylight. Getting the opening from the top of the ceiling to the wall board, and look for the top light near a vertical wall, so that the light in the kitchen to dissipate. Put a little '"niche" in the walls high above the line 8' green or statues. Put "puck" lights in the nichesAccent lighting.

Use high, 2 'deep closets instead of closets. 2 meters deep and 7 meters high cabinets (or 8 feet high) are also known as a pantry or utility closets. With fixed shelves, they hold more than 4 times as much material from a closet in your head. Insert a row high cabinets along one wall, and near the opening to the kitchen. From a 'wide, 2' 2 deep, open 7 'tall closet near the kitchen (usually near the Dining Area), can save all the glasses, dishes, plates and bowls on a daily basis. The people must not go into the kitchen to get food on the table, as you say with hanging.

With only 3 high cabinets (2 'deep 7' high) on the back of the kitchen floor and open plan, this allows the rest of the kitchen and 36 "upper cabinets and countertops have no roof. Eliminate Up> Cabinets (Wall and Associates) that are just an incredible feeling to open. The kitchen is not as closely packed. Come to windows and natural light from skylights and windows of other rooms, so there is no need to waste valuable space on the kitchen wall for windows. Point your sink and stove to the open spaces of the face.

In the corners of kitchen cabinets installed at 45 degrees to the adjacent cabinets and not as a government "blind" or "lazy susan. "As has accommodation of 45 degrees on some dead space, requires more space than a" Lazy Susan ", mainly because the shelves and drawers are square, and a" Lazy Susan "is about.

Enter a pantry in the corner between your high cabinets. It must be very large (4 'x 4') and in a corner, any corner space "dead" to use. The pantry would have a 2 "opening to 45 degrees with respect to the adjacent> Cabinets. The dining room walls with a plaster or may 2x4 3 / 4 "MDF is framed, but the wall must not exceed the height of tall cabinets. This allows crown molding (if using) to use the waiver to be. The Pantry have opened up, especially if you allow a skylight, the light in the pantry. shelves are ground to a wall. Put a "closet door" (as the rest of the cabinet top) to the pantry, not The door frame as is used in the bedroom. Through a door in the pantry closet and pantry walls at the same height as the cabinets, the pantry looks like a closet and not as a dry hole.

In the pantry, install a counter with 4 sockets. Here is the coffee machine, toaster, can opener, etc. are removed permanently. He keeps them on your kitchen counters, but they are always ready to serve. There is no need in your business> Cupboards and cabinets without the need for garage equipment. This may be your most important work plans "clean" (no) and open to the preparation of food have to do.

Set a limit up to 8 meter "on your ceiling (or 6" wall 2 "more than a meter thick). In an" open space "concept, the 8" is the height of a number of "chaotic" out of sight for the kitchen the other rooms. It also gives you ample room for multiple plugs in 6 "walls. The 6" high wallthe right height for 6 "ceramic tiles. The work is 44" (height of the elbow) is a perfect height for "wrong". This allows your guests to "lean" on the bar (the kitchen) and talk to you while you are preparing food (the kitchen). There is also a good height for eating or serving as a high stools for a counter. Not all of the top few meters wide. Some sections could be 9 "(only one partition at the top of the kitchen, while other parts of the counter top can24''breit be, for serving food or as a counter.

Well ... I am discussing this last part, because many customers use their kitchens differently, and each person has their own taste. I'm not talking the size (although related), but how many people they want in a kitchen. Some customers want all in the kitchen, between the guests and relatives for cooking or processing of the meal, a larger kitchen to bypass the human resources to help. Others do not know that someone only a fewPeople stopped in the kitchen, so people do not stumble on the meal, which means a smaller kitchen to get more efficient.

The most modern construction projects, the open kitchen to the garage or back door and open to family room and / or other areas such as breakfast rooms, dining rooms or corridors. This means that the kitchen is equipped with several openings to handle these functions. Some kitchens also "island" cabinets / work tops with two or more orifices. All openings in the kitchenallows for the benefit of the people are around or walk through the kitchen from point A to point B in any other part of the house. Even one of the peculiarities of our human psychology is at the end everyone at some point in the kitchen. This design concept uses the kitchen as a "transport corridor". These kitchens require a large amount of disk space to handle the traffic. Again, some customers love the influx of people into and out of the kitchen. You just need a larger kitchen space for all this

MoreThe customers that the concept of "Corridor" kitchen "hooves", the kitchen with unnecessary and unwanted people. Count me in "keep-the-useless-people-out-of-the-kitchen" excellent. I like having the kitchen open and welcoming, I do not want the extra points, while the meal is ready. Maintaining the additional points made, the kitchen can be smaller and more efficient, which means fewer steps between the refrigerator, stove and sink.

Keep people out of the kitchen is veryeasy to do in your project, but it is difficult for them to move in. Use a work surface with a single packaging (1) opening of the ceiling in the kitchen and discovered that the hole in the most difficult to get in the kitchen. This, together with the "open space" is the most effective way to prevent unwanted traffic kitchen. The entrance to take food out of the individual is psychologically kitchen area, while the open floor plan (no walls) you can communicate with family and guests,while keeping them out of the kitchen.

With curiosity I have mentioned and the people of a kitchen, a kitchen size 16'x10 'or 12'x12 Butterfly' is discussed in a very efficient, with tons of storage. Happen to make the kitchen a "corridor" for people, the kitchen should double in size, storage space and you are not winning with this dimension, because all the holes dine together in the kitchen, what could have been used in cabinets .

In terms of lighting,Most kitchens are a few main types of lighting (or a combination of these)

A. light in the ceiling fan
B. "Can" lights in the ceiling
C. Under - cabinet lighting (fluorescent or strip usually puck)

I generally refuse all of these lighting concepts. With a light in the ceiling fan, you always have the light behind him, which means they're casting shadows over everything you do on work surface. The lights can be "energy hogs" because they are big holes in your cutThe isolation and the use of inefficient incandescent lamps (usually 75 watts). I do not use cabinets to eliminate base so therefore light, which is sometimes expensive

With the high ceilings a truss scissors, as I used adjustable MR16, "can not" light. The MR16 is generally known as "stripes" of light. However, you want a "flat" should be used instead of a "banda" for the device. Using a disk using a standard MR16Box so that a smaller hole in a blanket of insulation compared to a "can" lights and pump twice as much light for less energy (usually 50 watts) than a light "may". MR16 lamps can be very small (so you do not see them) and not very expensive (around $ 20). MR16 is adjustable, so you can aim the light where you want it. A "can" light perpendicular to the ceiling light points. In a sloping ceiling, which is not good. Looking for lighting above the work surface to eliminate shadows, alongTheir main working areas (sinks, hobs, cutting and preparation areas) and then distributed evenly to the rest of the work plan. I really do not need lights in another place if not for accent lighting. The lights above the bar more than enough, provided you keep the small kitchen.

If you have any example, you can access my site and click on a http://youngarchitectureservices.com/home-architect-indiana.html plans, and expand the kitchenArea. There are also pictures of food in "Interior Design" section of the site. Larger-scale images of the kitchen are on the "home page" under "View more photos Casa"
