Please pay attention to the four major mistakes in the cabinet purchase.
In the process of kitchen renovation, cabinets are usually the first element to be decided. While many decoration companies now offer more sophisticated and well-designed kitchen layouts, sometimes important details are overlooked when choosing beautiful cabinets. To avoid future inconvenience, it’s always a good idea to consult the “master chef†at home — your family member who spends the most time in the kitchen.
**Mistake 1: Choosing an open layout without thinking**
Modern apartments often have open spaces that connect the kitchen with the living room or dining area. Many people imitate foreign kitchen designs, creating an open-plan kitchen where cooking and socializing happen side by side. This setup has its benefits — it keeps the cook connected with family and friends. However, experts advise caution, especially for those who enjoy cooking at home. If you still prefer this style, consider using a glass-enclosed stove top to maintain visibility while preventing smoke from spreading into the main living area.
**Mistake 2: Thinking the range hood is not useful**
With imported kitchen brands becoming popular, sleek, flat-range hoods have become a trend. Their modern design makes them visually appealing, even though they can cost over 3,000 yuan. However, many users report that these hoods don’t work as effectively as traditional models. They are often too shallow or lack proper ventilation, leading to grease buildup on cabinets and walls. This can cause long-term hygiene issues. Additionally, European-style hoods typically have smaller ducts (around 9 cm) compared to domestic models (which are usually 15 cm), resulting in less efficient airflow and more noise. So, unless you rarely cook, it's better to go with a more practical option.
**Mistake 3: Using low-quality hardware**
The hardware in your cabinets plays a crucial role in their overall quality. It's even more important than the cabinet doors or countertops. In many foreign kitchens, high-quality hardware is a key differentiator. Unfortunately, this hasn’t been widely recognized in the domestic market. Most local cabinets use cheaper hardware to keep costs low, which can lead to poor performance over time. If you plan to open and close cabinet doors frequently, investing in premium hinges is worth the extra cost. Some brands now clearly label the hardware used or show different price tiers, giving you more control over your choice.
**Mistake 4: Poorly designed working areas**
A functional kitchen should be tailored to the user's needs. The height of the countertops, the size of the cabinets, and the lighting all need to be adjusted based on the user's preferences and habits. The person who will spend the most time in the kitchen — your “chef†— should be involved in the planning. Many designers focus on aesthetics, but real convenience comes from understanding the user’s daily routines. Make sure to discuss everything with the designer and prioritize practicality over just looks.
