Highlights of the 2012 European kitchen design are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Setting of table height

Thin countertops are the main choice for European cabinet design. However, there have been some changes in the thick countertops, and the height has increased from 80 centimeters to 100 centimeters.

Smaller kitchens are becoming more and more important as the demand for small and medium-sized homes increases. In small and medium-sized housing, the kitchen area is small, and the overall height is relatively low, which brings certain difficulties to the design of the kitchen. For example, the design of the height of the table top has a direct relationship with the height of the window sill. How to solve the high working height of the table in these designs is an important issue for the user to have a very convenient and labor-saving feeling. This kind of small and medium-sized kitchen function configuration requirements is still very comprehensive, which is also a concern of the cabinet industry.

2. The kitchen is connected to the living room

The main trend in 2012 was the connection between the living room and the kitchen. The kitchen furniture is heavily designed with the design elements of the living room furniture, and even some kitchen furniture and the living room furniture are the same. In the kitchen furniture, the cabinet in the living room furniture is used. This method is not available in the traditional kitchen furniture, but it is now more and more popular. These cabinets are mainly designed with vertical lines and horizontal lines, which are modern or new modern design techniques. In color, it is mainly composed of black, white, gray, five colors and natural wooden doors.

3. The use of the handle

In the latest design of the new modern kitchen, many European kitchen furniture manufacturers use a handleless design to make the surface of the entire cabinet very abstract and simple. Regarding the handle, in addition to the handleless design, it is more popular to use a large-sized handle with a very simple shape.

4. Large drawer panel

When using large drawer panels, the load-bearing requirements for the rails have changed very much. The new load-bearing standards have now become 40 kg, 60 kg and 80 kg. Why is this? It is because the open kitchen has brought large-scale requirements to the design of the drawer panel.

5. Kitchen comfort design

The application of ergonomics in kitchen design is a very big topic. From the point of view of use, the most reasonable design method for the table top height of kitchen furniture is different operating areas, with different heights. For example, there is a table height that is very suitable for the height of the operator. If the pot or other utensils are placed and the height of the pot is put on, the entire height of the table plus the utensil may be too high for the operator, so This place of the stove should be lowered. The design of the sink in the washing area, if the sink is added, the sink is sunken, and the original height is lowered after adding the sink, so that the height of the washing area of ​​the sink needs to be increased again, which is the most suitable design. The principle of the product.

Such furniture has many problems in the market, such as the cost of installation, the cost of production, etc., but from a reasonable design point of view, such products are the most reasonable. Therefore, with the development of the times, with the fierce market competition, the more reasonable product design will certainly occupy a more important position.
