HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR KITCHEN FURNITURE

When it comes to changing our kitchen, putting it in new or renovating it, we must first take into account several aspects. We must have many things clear before entering the Quivir kitchen store and going crazy with the design. Here are several keys to successfully choosing your kitchen:

STORAGE


First, we have to think about what we are going to keep in our furniture in bd and in what way. Before starting to draw modules in a grid, you have to think about what your storage needs are and, only after a deep analysis of what you have and what you lack, decide the elements that will make up your kitchen.

PROVISION


Before starting to arrange everything we need or want in our kitchen, we must determine the location of the water, gas, electricity ... sockets in order to properly install electrical appliances. In addition, we have to measure the spaces well to be able to house the furniture according to the way we want to give our kitchen. In the following link, you can see the types of distribution that we can choose.




CUSTOMIZATION OF FURNITURE

As a starting point, we have to know that any point of your home and kitchen furniture can be customized. Kitchen furniture has fairly standard measurements, but can also be made with special measurements according to the metric needs of your environment. They also offer a huge variety of modules to make all kinds of compositions. You can adjust the height of the base units with the adjustable skirting boards, the height of the legs, and the thickness of the worktop to work more comfortably.

CABINET MEASURES

The modules of the base cabinets have a depth of 60 cm –although it can be extended to gain a greater surface area- and the upper ones of about 35 cm –which considerably reduces their capacity compared to the previous ones.

DESIGN YOUR CUSTOM KITCHEN

Regarding the width, you have proposals from 15 or 20 cm to take advantage of gaps, up to the XXL of 120 cm. The latter, despite having a large interior capacity, is only advisable in very spacious or open kitchens, while the most common are those of 45, 60, 80, and 90 cm.

Customize the work surface to suit you and avoid back pain. How? Play with the height of the base units - from about 70 to 80 cm -, the adjustable baseboards and the thickness of the worktop until the arms are at a 90-degree angle.

DRAWERS

If you can, choose the reinforced ones with total opening, the ones that allow access to all their content: you will make the most of them and a little more, with the appropriate interior accessories. With cushioned guides, you will be sure that the closing of the drawer will be slow and without blows.

REMOVABLE MECHANISMS

Removable shelves or mechanisms will make it easier for the things at the bottom not to fall into oblivion and everything will be closer to hand.

WORKTOP

In one of our blog posts, we talked about countertop trends, so it can help you a lot to be able to choose the ideal material according to you.

CHOOSE THE STYLE

Laminates in finishes that evoke cement or concrete will be your allies, especially combined with stainless steel fronts if you want an industrial kitchen. If, on the other hand, you like the classic, made of wood, go to a comfort zone such as rustic, with which you will always be right. Be careful: always look for anti-fingerprint finishes.

COLORFUL KITCHEN?

You will find proposals with high gloss lacquers and vinyl finishes if what you are looking for is an impressive and innovative kitchen.

FRONT AND FINISHES

Once you have measured and organized your space in furniture and drawers, another aesthetic question comes the fronts of the cabinets. They define the style of the kitchen so choose them to match yours.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Also, look for functionality in the kitchen as much as possible. If we are practical, it will be much easier to choose correctly any piece of furniture in our home. In addition, it must be taken into account that each material and each appliance has different care.

FINAL SUMMARY

Minimalist? Choose smooth doors, with sharp angles and with post-formed edges (made of Formica).

Industrial air Stainless steel fronts will be your allies. Be careful: look for anti-fingerprint finishes.
Home heat Wood is the warmest material. Light and lightly veined veneers create a contemporary effect.

As before. The fronts painted or lacquered in pastel colors are perfect for kitchens with a vintage air.

High impact High gloss lacquers and vinyl finishes star in the most colorful and pop-air kitchens.

At the forefront Marble is a trend and even dresses laminate fronts with realistic effects.
Now you can choose your kitchen furniture according to all the needs that may arise. If you are not able to decide for yourself, relax, we will help you. Go to one of our stores and we will be at your disposal to offer you the best service.
