How can an open kitchen be designed to be more functional?

Last year, Mr. Hu, a citizen, bought a small three-bedroom in a community in our city. "Because the area of the house is not large, in order to increase the visual sense of space and improve the utilization of space, we made an open kitchen. Mr. Hu said that he was quite satisfied with the open kitchen at that time.

The open kitchen connects the kitchen, dining room, and living room together, which looks simple and atmospheric, and the open kitchen is not like the closed kitchen, which is hot and sweaty when cooking in summer. Because it is connected to the living room, the air conditioner is turned on, and it is still quite cool.

However, with the increase in the number of cooking at home, the problem is gradually exposed: because the range hood can only suck up part of the rising fumes, and the remaining large amount of fumes cannot be sucked out, it will be emitted to the dining room and living room, resulting in a long time, the entire dining room and living room will be filled with the smell of fumes, and some fumes will also be deposited on the kitchen wall, ceiling, floor, cabinets, and every once in a while, the surface of the object is stained with oil stains and becomes sticky.

In this regard, people in the city's decoration industry reminded that if you want to make the open kitchen look good and practical, you must strengthen the ventilation and smoke removal design. One of the most important points is that you must choose a range hood with high power, large suction power and high smoke suction efficiency, and continue to turn on it for a few minutes after cooking, and try your best to suck out the oil smoke that is still permeating the room. It is recommended to install one or two exhaust fans in the kitchen to better solve the problem of oil smoke.

Secondly, the kitchen window should be opened as wide as possible, which will not only dissipate the smell of oil smoke as soon as possible, but also make the kitchen brighter. Kitchen and dining room floors should also be easy to clean. Avoid using some tiles with various relief patterns on the surface, although it can create a variety of fashionable decoration effects for the kitchen, but if the kitchen produces more oil smoke when used, the uneven surface of these tiles can easily become a place to hide dirt and dirt, nourishing bacteria.

In addition, in order to make the open kitchen look more aesthetically pleasing, it is best not to put a lot of kitchen utensils on the countertop, which can ensure that the countertop is neat, beautiful, and looks more refreshing. Therefore, it is necessary to make the storage function of the cabinet as large as possible, and some sorting partitions can be used in the drawers. In addition, it is best to have space reserved in the kitchen for some small appliances such as ovens, yogurt makers, electric cookers, etc., which can be placed later.
