Faced with a special-shaped kitchen, how should the refrigerator "install"?
Placing a refrigerator at home is a piece of cake for a house of about 100 square meters, but if you encounter a "bow"-shaped, narrow and other special-shaped kitchen, and the kitchen area is not large, the refrigerator That's a problem: either tolerate it or move it to another space indoors. In this regard, the designer gave corresponding suggestions and reminders.
Case 1 The kitchen is long and narrow, and the large refrigerator had to be moved
The owner, Mr. Huang, has basically completed the renovation of his new home and has placed an ordinary refrigerator on the inside of the long and narrow kitchen. Although Mr. Huang can still tolerate a distance of about 40 centimeters between the refrigerator and the cabinets, he said that he still needs to buy a double-door refrigerator to use it. It is impossible to place a "big" double-door refrigerator in the kitchen, so we have to find another way.
Comment: Lu Fa, the design director of a decoration company in Nanning, said that it often happens that large refrigerators encounter inappropriate kitchens. The kitchen of Mr. Huang's new home is like a balcony. After making a "1"-shaped cabinet along the long side, the remaining space is also a "1", and the discharge appliance is easy to fill. For such a kitchen, the refrigerator is prioritized for displacement.
Case 2: The kitchen is too small and the refrigerator is moved to the front door
Ms. Pan’s new home is still being renovated, but a special design idea has been finalized: she wants to move the refrigerator It is placed on the left side of the door - you can actually touch the refrigerator as soon as you enter the door. She told reporters that this was not done for convenience, but because the kitchen on the left side of the door was small and had poor lighting. If you put the refrigerator in the kitchen, wouldn't you open it "in the dark" every day? This would be very unpleasant.
Comments: Huang Fuyou, chief designer of a brand decoration company in Nanning, said that he has encountered many similar cases where refrigerators are encountered when entering the door, especially when the refrigerator is placed near the entrance garden. Relatively speaking, the space here is loose and can accommodate more ideas of the owner, but it is not ideal for placing a refrigerator. One of the reasons is that it may affect the vision of entering the home; the other is that it may be affected by the odor of the shoe cabinet.
Case 3: The kitchen is "bow" shaped, and the refrigerator "stands" next to the TV
When Mr. Li, the owner of Nanning, mentioned his experience, the owners of the same community also felt dumbfounded. It turned out that the kitchen of Mr. Li's new home encountered multiple pillars, causing the kitchen to take on a "bow" shape. After the cabinets and wall cabinets were installed, there was no room for the refrigerator. So I obeyed the builders and placed the refrigerator next to the TV in the living room.
Comment: Yao Mingchuang, chief designer of a brand decoration company in Nanning, said that it is not suitable for electrical appliances to be placed next to each other, both from the perspective of heat dissipation and aesthetics. Some owners also place the refrigerator next to the fabric sofa, which is even more inhumane. If space is limited, the refrigerator must be placed in the living room, as close to the dining room or kitchen as possible, and at a certain distance from the sofa and TV. From a practical point of view, there are two principles for placing the refrigerator: one is to ensure heat dissipation; the other is to ensure ease of use and be as close to the cabinet as possible.
Case 4: To "save" the restaurant, the refrigerator was moved to the terrace
The new home of Ms. Lu, the owner of Nanning, is in a modern minimalist style, with the kitchen, dining room and terrace on the same straight line. The original plan was to place the refrigerator in the dining room against the kitchen wall, but once the dining table was placed in the perfect position, the refrigerator could no longer be accommodated. In the end I had to move the refrigerator to the terrace.
Comments: Huang Fuyou said that it is okay to place the refrigerator on the terrace if there is no sunlight. Otherwise, it will affect the cooling function of the refrigerator. Some owners also put the refrigerator in the middle of the balcony because the kitchen extends to the balcony, as a partition between the kitchen and the balcony. This approach is a bit bold, and curtains or other methods must be used to avoid western exposure. Some owners placed the refrigerator next to the stove. Because the distance was too close, they had to wrap the refrigerator with wooden boards. For this approach, owners must pay attention to leaving more than 5 centimeters of space on the back of the refrigerator and two centimeters of space on the left and right sides.
