The interior of a modern kitchen is hard to imagine without kitchen cabinets - the main part of the workspace. They are intended for storage of dishes, various kitchen appliances, products, and in addition, for built-in household appliances - dishwashers, ovens, microwave ovens.
Every housewife will tell you that she just needs kitchen cabinets. Floor models that combine several functions at once are doubly necessary. Usually they are mounted on adjustable legs, their height is one hundred - one hundred and fifty millimeters.
Kitchen cabinets are metal or plastic. A basement covers them with the appropriate height. Its use is necessary when installing in the cabinets of a washing machine or dishwasher. Metal legs can not be covered with a base, since they themselves are a decorative element.
Kitchen cabinets (floor samples) should have a height, which is primarily determined by the growth of the hostess. For most work performed by women of average height (160 cm), a height of 850 mm is most suitable. If the user is a little taller, the height of the cabinets is increased with legs that are easily adjustable. If the woman’s height is significantly higher than average, then it is necessary to increase the height of the cabinets (such furniture is best made to order). For example, in Scandinavia, a single standard for the height of kitchen floor cabinets has been adopted - nine hundred millimeters.
It is worth noting that at present there is a tendency to place work surfaces at different levels (this is especially true for large kitchens). This design decision is explained by the fact that for various operations in the kitchen there is a certain convenient height. Therefore, the sink is placed about fifteen centimeters above the surface on which the food is cut, and the hob is five to fifteen centimeters below it. At this height, the cooking process is more convenient for the hostess, as the optimum height for stirring the food is provided.
Outdoor kitchen cabinets usually have a depth of 60 to 65 cm. If there are protrusions or pipes, the standard depth can be reduced.
The corner floor kitchen cabinet is very popular these days. Quite often it is equipped with “trolley” doors. Its main advantage is that the inside of such a cabinet is easily accessible even without “carousel-shelves”. It is convenient to use under the sink. The fact is that in our houses most often all communications are located in the corner, so you will not need to spend time and money on moving them to another place.
A floor cupboard with a drawer can be considered a small pantry - it is so roomy. Such cabinets come in two types - the same drawers from top to bottom, or from above a small drawer for small items and several large drawers.
Properly selected kitchen cabinets floor will help you create the kitchen that you dreamed about. For their manufacture, a wide variety of materials and colors are used. They are able to refresh the kitchen space - to make it more spacious and functional.
