An ill-conceived electrician, saving on retractable mechanisms and the desire to decorate the kitchen with a useless decor - these and another 7 mistakes owners of kitchens are most often allowed. We tell how to avoid them.
1 too little outlets
After repair, it often finds out that the outlets need more than the owners thought. For example, they provided an outlet under the electric stove, a refrigerator, a washing machine and a dishwasher. But they did not take into account that they would need an electric kettle, with the birth of a child - a steamer or a blender or they want to drink delicious coffee at home every morning - and buy a coffee maker.

How not to repeat: Before the start of the repair, consider your household scenarios and possible lifestyle changes, preferably a few years ahead (for example, planning a child and a possible technique that will be needed). And pride the desired number of outlets in the kitchen.

2 lack of light
The amount of light in the kitchen determines the convenience and your mood. Imagine: You cook in the evening after work - most likely, this is not the most desirable lesson, but with dim light, cooking turns into torment.

How not to repeat: Provide several illumination scenarios. For example, the top light (chandelier or built-in s), flooring over the dining area and the illumination of the working surface over the kitchen apron. The comfort will also add built-in lights inside glazed cabinets. You will be able to use the light as it is convenient and wants at a particular moment.

3 Saving on retractable systems
Shelves are economical. But it is important to save several thousand on convenience and ergonomics. It is unlikely that you will be happy to climb into the distant corner of the shelves behind the right product or dishes. You will have to get everything on the front.

How not to repeat: Look for compromises between convenience and budget. For example, an angular retractable mechanism can be ordered separately and embedded with the help of a guest specialist. Often it is cheaper than buying a "magic corner" complete with all the kitchen. And in modern drawers with filling, you can store a lot of useful accessories.

How not to repeat: Think out the location of the working triangle so that it is convenient to move between its "vertices" (refrigerator, stove and sink) and the location corresponded to the requirements of operation. Between the sink and stove should be at least 50 cm.

5 ill-faced number of furniture
I ordered a kitchen set with mounted cabinets, it "eaten" the lion's share of the budget for repairing the kitchen, as the attached cabinets are expensive, but now you do not know what to store them. Familiar?

How not to repeat: Optionally all the kitchen to equip mounted cabinets. See beautiful design examples when the apron is made completely on one of the walls of the corner kitchen. Or partially replace closed cabinets with open shelves, if ready for frequent cleaning.

6 Tabletop of Natural Stone
Even those who are ready to invest in the repair of large sums think about practicality. Natural stone is beautiful, luxurious, but rarely practical. Especially if the kitchen use regularly, they like to cook or in the family there are children who sometimes cut something right on the table top.

How not to repeat: Natural stone substitutes - quartz agglomerates or acrylic stones for the price are comparable to the sources, but will be more practical. If you want to save, it is not your option. Choose laminated chipboard or MDF.

How not to repeat: Planning the kitchen, learn that there should be at least 120 cm between the kitchen head and the dining group. The same thing is about the kitchen island.

10 Useless decor
In the desire to create an ideal interior easily rearranged with decorations. Figurines, photo frames, decorative coffee grinders, a few posters - are you sure that they really need in your kitchen?

How not to repeat: In order to add the interior of the kitchen of life and individuality, often enough bouquet of flowers at the dinner table and paintings on the wall. Choose beautiful household trivia, such as dispensers for soap, cutting boards, towels - they will decorate your kitchen, but will not become a "curb."
