What's a small kitchen like in Japan?
Japanese people have different eating habits from ours. They are small in number and varied, ranging from various pots and pans to dishes. You still need some home wisdom to put so many things in a small kitchen.
▲ Standard Japanese kitchen
So in today's article, let's talk about the rules worth learning in kitchen storage.
What can we learn from Japanese kitchen storage?
First, there is no rebound in kitchen storage.
With the progress of cooking technology and the deep yearning for happy home appliances,
The more things will lead to us, the more.
According to the items that can appear in the kitchen, it can be roughly divided into spices, tableware and kitchenware, pots and pans, stock food and groceries.
1, storage rules of spices
If you want the kitchen to be neat and beautiful, you'd better transfer all kinds of spices you bought to a separate seasoning bottle first, which is more beautiful and tidy.
Since it is a common condiment, it is most reasonable to put it around the stove.
The storage rack for condiments is a simple and common choice. In order to make rational use of the three-dimensional space, it is best to choose a layered one. But remember to choose according to the quantity and specifications of your common spices, and don't waste every inch of space.
▲ Choosing a good-looking seasoning bottle can also enhance the overall value of the kitchen.
If the kitchen countertop space is limited, you might as well hang these odds and ends on the wall, which can save a lot of space. The pendant of IKEA Fanto series can basically meet this demand.
Shelves are indispensable for wall storage. You can put some tableware, spices or whole grains on it, and you can collect some seasoning bottles with adsorption function below, killing two birds with one stone, which can also be said to be the savior of small-sized kitchens.
In addition, if Virgo doesn't like nothing on the countertop, or lazy cancer stars are worried that hesitation in cooking will make the seasoning bottle hang a layer of oil stains, it is better to move it to the drawer under the stove, and it is best to label it to avoid making the wrong ingredients when cooking.
Many families have installed seasoning baskets when installing cabinets, which is also a good choice. The more spacious floor can also hold large bottles of inventory.
2, tableware, kitchen utensils storage rules
tableware
If there is no dishwasher disinfection cabinet at home, you can choose this portable storage rack, which is convenient for water control and saves space. The washed dishes are placed directly on it, which is clean and hygienic.
I am worried that the open storage dust is too big, and I don't want the fully enclosed cabinets to make the kitchen too boring. When I choose the cabinet panel, I might as well give priority to the glass cabinet door, so that the tableware can be taken conveniently and quickly, and it can be stored and displayed correctly.
I personally recommend this kind of dish storage rack, whether it is open or concealed. It has an open slot on the side, which is convenient to take and put, hollowed out around, well ventilated, and most importantly, it can protect tableware.
I recommend an artifact to everyone. It is suggested to put it under the hanging cabinet. Open the front plate, the upper layer can be stored, and the lower layer is the partition for placing items. It's ergonomic to take things. When closed, the front plate can become a shelf with hanging function. Very easy to use.
And this electric blue lifting. Just press it and the dish will automatically fall in front of you.
kitchenware
To be honest, it takes a lot of thought to store kitchen utensils and things like that. Items such as spatula, colander, eggbeater, etc. Too close together, it is easy to mix and fight. The best way is to store all kinds of items in categories; There are still many points, such as the length of kitchen items, which are almost all very long and can be solved only by a multifunctional storage tube.
In addition, some electrical appliances have holes in their handles, which can be hung on the wall for storage, saving space and being easy to ventilate and dry.
You can still hide these kitchen utensils in the drawer, but don't leave them behind. Choose a kitchen utensils sorting box, and you will find that even if your things look complicated, they will look very neat after such treatment.
3, pots and pans storage rules
Pot, a kind of large kitchen utensils, has many kinds and shapes, so a large drawer that can handle it is the best choice, as many Japanese housewives do.
Pots should be stored independently and can be arranged according to the size of the pot. It is best to use the method of "lying on your side" to store flowerpots, so as to ensure that a considerable number of flowerpots can be stored. It's best to place the lid and the pot separately, and other items can be placed in the remaining space to make full use of every space.
In addition to putting pots and pans in deep drawers, if the drawers at home are not deep enough, you can also put pots and pans in the cupboard, which requires a shelf of 1-2 to make them "live in harmony".
This pull-out design is more convenient to store pots and pans. If you apply it to your own home, you might as well ask the cabinet designer to design it like this.
If there is a bright room at home, it is also a good way to hang pots and pans neatly on a high place.
4, the storage rules of food in stock
The most difficult thing to store in the kitchen is the ingredients, because each ingredient has a different shape. Especially now that the weather is getting cold, there is no need to pile everything in the refrigerator.
Therefore, it is necessary to choose various storage racks as far as possible, and store all the ingredients in a classified way for easy access and ventilation. For example, I use inomata's storage basket myself, which can be stacked infinitely. The design of large opening makes it easier to find things at a glance.
If the edge space of the cabinet is narrow, you can also choose this kind of small cart with gaps, and it is no problem to put some inventory.
If you think of these problems in the early stage, you can do it in one step. The indomitable push-pull cabinet like this is definitely the gospel of star hoarders and a powerful storage empire!
5, grocery storage rules
The so-called groceries are mostly some daily necessities in the kitchen, such as paper, detergent, gloves, heat insulation pads and so on. These things are fragmented and frequently used, so it is recommended to put them at your fingertips.
Second, advanced new tricks for kitchen storage
Life doesn't have to be the same. As for kitchen storage, you will find that if you seek a suitable "personal tailor" method, home will be more attractive.
1, orifice plate
In the past two years, Dongban has been transformed into an online celebrity. You will find that it is really useful, unique and has a harmonious and orderly aesthetic feeling. By using vertical space, space utilization can be improved again.
2, barbed wire
Barbed wire and perforated plate, two brothers of home storage artifacts, often appear together, and they are used in almost the same way. The load-bearing capacity of barbed wire may not be as good as that of perforated plate, but it will be more convenient and cheaper to use. You can choose according to your specific needs.
3. Handcart
The IKEA Crass cart, which costs only 200 yuan, seems to have become a favorite of many people overnight. Its potential seems limitless. If there are too many things in the house or the area is limited, you can transform it into a mobile cabinet to meet your storage needs in all aspects. No matter in terms of function or face value, it is worthy of being a single item among online celebrities.
Step 4: ladder
A small ladder with beautiful shape can not only be used for storage, but also be a beautiful ornament, which can make the kitchen more colorful. Putting a pot of small plants on the top floor can also add vitality to the space.
Generally speaking, the first principle of admission is formulated according to one's living habits. I also summed up three points for you here.
Easy to carry
When cooking, these "parts" around you are your helpers. Be sure to remember that they are convenient and easy to get. According to the frequency of use, make a storage plan.
Easy to take care of
If you are keen on cooking, you must remember to clean up the kitchen supplies in time. If not, try to store it in a closed place.
Neat and beautiful
I have to mention the Japanese housewife's kitchen. Of course, I believe that after reading what I said above, you should be able to master some practical methods.
Third, the anthropologist in the kitchen on ins.
If you want to learn more about kitchen storage, you may wish to pay attention to these talents on ins and remember to climb over the wall.

Blogger brooch. m's kitchen will also give people a bright feeling. The kitchen is small, with a cooking table on one side and a storage cabinet and refrigerator on the other. On this side of the storage cabinet, there are many shelves, and everything is neatly arranged and placed separately from top to bottom according to the frequency of use.
On the other side of the kitchen, there are not many things on the cooking table, and similar things are stored together. The color scheme of white+log color looks comfortable and advanced.
Finally, I introduce a heavyweight blogger "tuuli", whose black-and-white style is fashionable and modern. As for the storage skills, just look at her kitchen. Open the door of the push-pull cabinet, and you will find that this is a brand-new world, and all kinds of electrical appliances on each floor are neatly stored.
