5 Ways To Prepare Your Home For Winter

May 8, 20180

 If you experience the same problems last winter that everyone else did in Auckland, then you’ll be more than aware of the inconveniences and potential dangers the weather can do cause for your home. Getting your home ready for this year’s winter can be tricky and you may not even know where to start. That is why we’ve created this short guide – 5 different tips and methods for protecting your home for the upcoming winter.

1. Make sure the roof is tight

Water can seep into and through any hole or crack that otherwise you wouldn’t notice. Ensuring your roof is in the right condition to protect again water damage 100% involves professional help. If you’ve noticed problems before then you’re going to want to call in a professional roof maintenance contractor or repair and replacement services depending on the type of problem.

If you haven’t noticed any issues so far with the roof, then we recommend still observing it and trying to identify any weak points. If you want to be extra cautious, even hire a professional to inspect it for you.

  1. Check the gutters

A blocked gutter that is filled with dirt and grime can cause instant problems for your house. Home renovators in Auckland in particular need to ensure that they check the gutters regularly and clean them accordingly. A property can never be fully protected from natural insulation sources such as surrounding trees. It’s important to use stainless steel premium gutter filtering systems to prevent any future damage to the gutter and prevent them clogging over winter.

  1. Make sure the windows are secure

Preparing for winter in Auckland can be a challenge and a half for home renovators. Replacing the windows may be a costly process and seem a bit extreme. But if you consider the cost of repairing broken windows or flooding or mould caused by unsecure window placements, the price isn’t so bad.

Look for signs in the most important windows of the house such as the family room or children’s bedrooms. The signs of a window in need of replacement include chipped paint, distorted vinyl and milky glass. Also, if you find that a window doesn’t open properly anymore, then chances are it needs replacing before the winter ahead.

 4. Insulation

Keeping warm is just as important as protecting your home during winter. We recommend using energy professionals to test the insulation around your home. Sometimes, the best way to get the job done properly is to have someone who is trained at doing the job well. There’s no better time than now to get ahead on these necessary improvements on your home.

  1. Test the air quality

Last on the list and most important to your family’s safety and wellbeing is the air quality in your home. Uneven levels of carbon dioxide and chemical pollutants are very common in Auckland home. This is more prevalent in the winter when the home relies on indoor air being kept in and insulated. Hire a professional to take care of this burden and give you an air quality test.

When preparing your home for the winter it is important to plan far in advance. So we recommend getting on top of it now to make sure your home and family is as safe as they can be during the harsh Auckland winter to come.

    3 Vintage Styles With All The Modern Amenities Of Today

    May 8, 20180

    Vintage styles are becoming very popular with many Aucklanders as they often bring a touch of luxury and character to homes. So how exactly can we define a Vintage style? This has often been debatable as there is no definitive answer to that. The one consistent element that all renovators agree on is that vintage styles borrow the best bits from the past. Designs that aren’t common anymore, that have a rich heritage and traditional flare attached to them.

    Vintage homes of today do not lack in any modern amenity. Most designers renovate homes to make them look Vintage with all the functionality and amenities that today has to offer. This is how we define vintage styles. However, there are many different styles but for the purpose of this article, we have narrowed it down to 3 distinct and overarching styles for home interior design.

    Mid-century

    Mid century modern styles take the best from pinnacle times of extraordinary architecture and history. These designs often incorporate vaulted ceilings with either natural or sleek painted wood with clean lines. The emphasis was on minimal, tidy designs that emphasised the available space in the home. The bathrooms and kitchens will be top priority in mid-century homes, focusing on simplistic colour palettes with surprising and intriguing splashes of extra colour and light.

    wooden-floors-3, Kitchen Renovation, Bathroom Renovation, House Renovation Auckland

    Home renovators in Auckland can implement this style particularly well with added features and availability of natural wooden materials. The intention is to highlight the traditional and bring it into the modern with mid-century vintage decor.

    Vintage farmhouse

    The emphasis with this design lies in the blending of white or off-whites to create a contrast with rustic warmer wooden coatings and materials. These combined elements are inspired by traditional farmhouses of well off families, without all the mess of course. The most important thing for home renovators to incorporate into a vintage farmhouse design is the abundance of wooden features.

    The focus should be rustic farm life meets modern interior design. The wood is used to add chairs or stools or even floating shelves. The property will often include traditional furniture and cabinetry placed by the homeowners. These features are strong and durable while having the bonus of being aesthetically pleasing.

    Many innovators of this particular style attempt to bring the table to the kitchen, making the kitchen the primary eating place for the family. This infusion highlights practicality and style while celebrating true craftsmanship.

    Vintage industrial

     This style borrows from similar inspirations as the mid-century style, heavily using architecture to increase natural space and potential. These styles often implement an exposed brick wall for the simple, stripped back look of the mid-century. This element adds a touch of traditionalism and rustic appeal to any property.

    Home renovators in Auckland should consider the limitations with this particular design. Because of the necessity for exposed natural materials, this calls for lots of metals and reclaimed wood. This can be expensive and difficult to find but can be worth it in the end.

    The most appealing aspect of this style is the openness it adds to the house without needed to alter the light potential. The emphasis is on making everything accessible like pots and pans, spice racks and shelves. If you prefer a more simplistic, minimalist look then this may not be the style for you.

    When defining these styles, the aim for many home renovators is to understand what is popular and what will increase the value of the property. Many home renovators in Auckland opt for unique designs that stand out on the market and attract interested individuals.

    The goal with each design is staying true to the original style it is borrowed from. This doesn’t mean incorporating additional elements of modern design. It simply means keeping the colours consistent and the interior design complacent with the source material.

      Tips For Renovating Your Auckland Home: Maintenance & Renovation

      May 4, 20180

      Home maintenance and renovation in Auckland can be a risky business, especially in the current housing market. House prices have not bounced back to pre-2007 levels and houses need to be renovated to a high standard in order to achieve a sale in a realistic time period.

      Here are our top tips for renovating your home within Auckland that will help you make a profit when selling your home.

      If you are planning major renovations

      make sure that you have the finances in place to cover the entire works, including a decent sized contingency fund in case things don’t go entirely as expected. A property that is stuck at the halfway point of property renovation is likely to be worth less than you originally paid for it!

      If you are buying a house with the intention of renovating it and selling it to make a profit

      You need to make absolutely sure that you buy the house as cheap as possible and cut costs as much as you can when carrying out the works. Doing the work yourself and saving the cost of expensive tradesmen will enhance your profit margin, but remember all works must be completed to a good standard.If you do not have the property maintenance skills to complete the job, it is better to employ someone in the first place, rather than having to pay someone to rectify any mistakes you may make.

      Don’t take on a home renovation project that you can’t handle.

      If you are new to the world of property renovation it’s best to start with less challenging properties. Ideally, homes that just need decorative work are the best starting point. This type of home puts off the majority of buyers as they are ugly, by today’s standards, and most people are looking for a home they can move into straight away. As you get more experienced in renovating houses, you can take on houses with more work needed and potentially make bigger profits.

      The best way to add value to a home is to add square footage.

      Extending a home, when done right, will automatically boost its value. It is important to thoroughly research how much it will cost and how much value it will add to the home first, to ensure that it is a viable option. You don’t want to spend $35,000 adding a bedroom only to find out that it only adds $25,000 to the value. You also need to make sure that it will appeal to its target market. For example, dramatically increasing the number of bedrooms, but not living space is a bad idea as not many families will want a 5-bed house with only one reception room, unless it is priced cheaply.

      Always keep in mind the end goal: selling the home to make a profit.

      It is very easy when in the throes of home renovation to get too attached to the project and fit it out with fixtures and fittings that are to your own taste. It is important to remember that a neutral theme will always sell better at the end of the process and it is not worth paying more for a kitchen because it is the one you would want. If you fall foul of this trap you will be lucky to recoup the money you put into the project, let alone make a profit.

      If you are not planning on selling the home once renovated, but want to rent it out instead.

      You need to think about the on-going property maintenance that may be required. It could well be worth renovating the home with more hardwearing materials in the first place, as you will only incur extra costs to replace worn or broken items in the future. A good hard wearing carpet and durable paint are worth paying that little bit extra for, as it will reduce the cost of the on-going home maintenance required.

      Pete from Trilect says adding an automatic gate in some locations in Auckland can also be seen as added value – but have a look around the neighborhood to see what the trend is. You’ll find that gates in Kingsland, Auckland is quite common because that target audience there values privacy.

      Whatever your reasons for renovating a home, it is always important to decide on a budget and then stick to it.

      Keep track of your outgoings and keep an eye on the housing market to ensure that you do not lose money, as so many new property developers do. Home renovation can be a very stressful and costly process and you need to make sure it is going to be worth your while.

          Home Renovation Ideas for Auckland homes By design Experts

          March 23, 20180

          If you live in Auckland and have been looking for some home renovation ideas, then you might be frustrated by the lack of real content on the web. After all, home renovation is such a key part of most homeowners’ lives, so does it really why is there a lack of content?

          Luckily, we’re here to help. Here are some key home renovation ideas for those living in Auckland. While this list is not comprehensive, it will almost definitely help in getting you on the right track

          Planning

          The first major step to getting started with your home renovation ideas is to plan out the process. This is not a step you want to neglect, as careful and detailed planning will undoubtedly help you succeed in your project!

          Some aspects of this step include ensuring that you have the proper funds, determine what you will be doing and what an Auckland professional will be doing, searching for contractors, and applying for permits. Once you have all of these aspects completed, your home renovation ideas will be much further grounded in reality and likely to be completed successfully.

          Large Projects

          After you’ve finished the planning stage, the first thing you’ll want to do is start on the large projects. These have to be completed before the smaller projects involved in your home renovation ideas, because they are so critical to the house’s design and general functioning.

          Some aspects of this step are roof replacement/repair, fixing your home’s foundation, putting an end to infiltration of water, and repairing or installing new windows and siding. First, you’ll want to go over and repair any major foundational or structural problems. Next, you’ll want to secure your home’s foundation. Then, you’ll want to repair/replace the roof (if necessary). Finally, you can replace windows that are so seriously damaged that they might have a negative impact on future home renovation projects.

          Smaller Projects

          Now that you’ve completed the larger projects, you can get started on the smaller home renovation ideas for your Auckland home. These include, but are not limited to, demolition, electrical and plumbing work, structural carpentry, drywall, insulation, fine carpentry, windows, painting the interior, siding and gutters, flooring, and auxiliary building.

          These factors will involve carefully demolishing areas to be renovated, moving and constructing your new walls, having your Auckland HVAC company installing the ductwork for the home, installing fiberglass insulation, closing the walls with drywall, installing new windows, hiring an Auckland fine carpenter, interior painting (once you’re done with all the major interior work), installing the new flooring, and working on the exterior of the house.

          While this list of smaller projects is not comprehensive, the general principle remains the same: Start with the most crucial parts of your home renovation and gradually work up to the smallest stuff. This is to make sure you have maximum stability and that you won’t have a difficult time going through larger projects because you did the smallest ones first.

            16个热门设计理念–针对新西兰紧凑型厨房的设计指南

            July 4, 20170

            本指南已重新整理，其中包含 7 个反映 2022 年的趋势且针对新西兰房主的紧凑型厨房的设计理念。

             

            让我们想象一下——没有人愿意在烹饪时体验幽闭恐惧症的感觉。尤其对空间紧凑的小户型公寓和家庭中，这将成为一个问题。由于空间不足，在厨房里可能会有一种压迫体验。但如果空间得到有效利用，这很容易解决。

            规划是新西兰紧凑型厨房设计的关键。劳动力和项目管理等基本工作的成本在原有基础保持不变，因为您必不可少的需要安装工、电工、水管工、瓷砖工、油漆工等各类工人。但是，您可以节省材料成本，因为可能柜子更少，或更少的瓷砖以及其他原材料。

            在考虑规划新西兰的小户型的设计理念时，创新也很重要。

            在空间内寻找创新的想法，用于存储和工作区。例如：打造可以整合到你的生活空间的隐藏式储物柜。你可以用这些隐藏的柜子存储电器，同时不会使你的空间看起来很局促。

            你也可以定制立高触及天花板的橱柜，把不常用的电器放在最上面的架子上，并将梯子美化成装饰，可以用来拿取放在架子最上面的电器。

            Kitchen things（我们的首选家电供应商）拥有各种顶级品牌的产品，这些品牌主要是为小户型打造的家电。这些电器可以分开并储存在橱柜里，不占用任何台面空间。

            1.玩转你的色彩

            你知道吗，有些颜色容易让人觉得空间狭小，而有些颜色则非常适合营造一种空间增大的错觉。我们建议客户使用更多的中性颜色来使他们的空间看起来更大。Dulux的Mason Bay Quater WN27或Epsom VW C100作为厨房的主要色调，以展示你的空间。

            然而，使用中性或深浅不一的白色并不意味着你的厨房肯定会看起来沉闷或无聊。选择一个彩色的或有质感的防溅板，以吸引注意力，创造乐趣。（你的）橱柜的颜色也可以再深一些，以增加一定程度的对比。使用多彩的把手和水龙头，在空间中丰富色彩感。

            2. 灯光照明很重要

            自然采光是你在厨房里可以拥有的最好的照明。你可以通过使用大型垂直窗户来营造高度感，或者增加天窗来提高天花板（并且可为更多的橱柜提供额外的空间），从而最大限度地利用自然光。 然而，如果这些没有办法完成，那么仍然有办法将照明纳入你的厨房设计。

            5  Small kitchens ideas

            • 贴近天花板的照明设备。考虑安装吊灯或接近天花板的灯。一定避免低垂的吊灯，因为它们会使你的厨房看起来很笨重。而安装贴近天花板的照明设备，也可以让你省却任何（安装在）墙壁的照明设备，从而可以更好地利用墙壁用于安装置物架。
            • 嵌入式照明设备。嵌入式式照明是一个伟大的选择，可以在不牺牲厨房空间的情况下照亮厨房的一个区域。
            • 吊线灯：吊线灯是由金属弦或金属链悬挂的单独照明装置。这是枝形吊灯的一种变体，占用空间较小。您可以使用一组吊线灯，也可以只使用一个，具体取决于您的空间。吊线灯也为任何厨房空间创造了很多氛围感，并为其增添了特色。
            • 橱柜下面的LED灯带：在你的橱柜和橱柜把手下面安装LED灯带，既能节省空间，又能增强厨房的气氛。这些LED灯带大多可以调暗，这也可以作为一种气氛的增强剂。
            • 埋入式照明：奥克兰的大多数房子都有埋入式照明。它们很好，因为有很多样式，而且可以节省很多空间。

            以上是可以应用到你的厨房设计中的照明实例

             

            3.明智地选择你的电器

            为你的厨房挑选电器不是一件容易的事–如果你的厨房空间很小，它就会变得更加困难。然而在NZ，最好的厨房设计理念之一是使用更智能的产品，这些产品是新兴的，以及完美的表现和功能。

            选择专门为狭小空间设计的厨房电器和家具。厨房电器有很多选择，无论你的空间有多小，它们都是灵活、多变和高效的。博世和Kitchen Things专门为小厨房设计了电器。例如，可以拆卸并放入抽屉易于收纳的电器，而不是那些占用柜台空间的电器。

             

            一个例子是可以收纳在抽屉里的手持式搅拌机或研磨机，而不是一个笨重的搅拌机和研磨机。还可以考虑多功能电器，它们可以完成多项任务，而不仅仅是某一项单一任务。这些智能和创新的电器通常有几种功能，如能够混合、研磨、以及（做为）打蛋器等

             

            4.成为一名置物架大师

            如今，翻新或设计一个紧凑型厨房需要规划和研究适当的空间解决方案。很多室内设计师都认为，最好的厨房设计理念需要适当的收纳 – 这就是为什么置物架很重要。

            壁挂置物架

            你可以使用壁挂置物架作为一种物美价廉的方式，为您的厨房增加必需的额外存储空间。它们可以很好地放置香料、杯子、茶叶和咖啡壶，同时为您的厨房设计增加个人色彩。如果您重新装修您的厨房，那么在您的厨房设计中添加悬浮置物架，配合其他橱柜。这些壁挂置物架也可以加在你的用餐区。你可以购买彩色的杯子、盘子和厨房配件，给你的空间带来一些特色，同时将其用于存储。

            位于Mangere Bridge的全厨房改造-壁挂置物架不仅是厨房的焦点还增加了存储空间 

            抽屉和厨房储物架

            抽屉内的架子可以使收纳和存储更容易。可以考虑在抽屉里加入架子来存放餐具。另一个新出现的趋势是在厨房储物柜内增加可移动拉出的储物架。这可以使你的橱柜看起来整洁而不凌乱。这种形式的储物柜也可以建在您的其他生活区域内，不一定非要在厨房附近。

             

            5. 厨房收纳

            储藏收纳在任何厨房都是最重要的，特别是紧凑型厨房。最有效的将存储空间最大化的方法是在您的基础橱柜上方加装壁挂橱柜，有效地将您的厨房存储潜力翻倍。

            为我们在奥克兰的客人提供的储藏方案

            5 种紧凑型厨房最大化储藏空间的方法

            • 通顶开放式搁板：您还可以考虑使用一些开放式搁板，这不仅实用，还有助于为您的厨房营造更开放的感觉。
            • 魔术角：魔术角对角落里的柜子很有帮助，这些柜子很笨拙，角落里的空间往往被浪费掉。魔术角的特点是可以拉出类似手推车的抽屉，让你利用角落的空间。 我们经常选用Blum公司的产品，这些产品在紧凑型厨房的存储解决方案方面非常创新。
            • 岛台可以作为一个存储解决方案：对大多数人来说，存储空间越多越好。在你的厨房设计中，早餐岛台是另一个可以作为一个存储空间的地方。早餐岛台可以定制，有存储柜和抽屉，以进一步增加存储空间。
            • 带有储物架的橱柜：正如上面所讨论的，在橱柜内安装收纳架可以使你的抽屉不凌乱，以及有一个专门的空间来放置物品。储藏室的抽屉也正在成为收纳和节省空间的流行方式。
            • 墙面挂钩：锅碗瓢盆或厨房器皿的挂架可以是另一种储存物品的好方法，否则会占用橱柜的空间。风格上的建议是购买色彩鲜艳、充满活力的装饰和器皿。

            6. 兼具储物和用餐功能的厨房岛台

            无论你的厨房是大是小，厨房岛台已经成为厨房设计的一个重要补充。这是因为岛台的用途非常广泛，不仅可以作为准备工作的台面，还可以兼具用餐和收纳存储功能。

            我们的家装展厅有样板厨房–包括岛台在内的最大化收纳方案的案例研究

            因为客户日益增多的需求，我们最近在奥克兰开设了一个家装展厅。可以很好的展示我们装修后的厨房以及浴室的质量。下图展示了我们家装展厅中一个的很好的例子，这个由我们设计并施工的现代厨房，图片所展示的岛台两侧都有存储空间。

             

             

            Superior-Renovations-Showroom-12, Kitchen Renovation, Bathroom Renovation, House Renovation Auckland我们的家装展厅位于奥克兰Wairau Valley。这是一个现代和时尚完美结合的厨房例子，在厨房岛台的两侧都有存储空间。当你浏览该厨房岛台的图片时，你会发现一个整体无缝的设计，似乎没有橱柜或抽屉。但实际上，岛台朝向走廊的部分有2个双层储藏柜和一个单层储藏柜。岛台面向厨房的部分有2个拉出式调味品柜，2个双抽屉，里面有一个隐藏的抽屉。这个隐藏的抽屉更好的让其拥有了一个整体无缝的外观。

            相关阅读：哪种布局更适合你的厨房？

            人们常常认为，岛台不能被纳入紧凑型厨房的设计中。然而，这并非事实。紧凑型的厨房经常存在于一个开放的生活环境中。它们可以由一面墙组成，上面有几个台面、灶台和一个洗碗机。如果你正在进行厨房改造，那么可以考虑在中间安装一个小的早餐吧，将厨房和客厅 “分开”。你可以把用餐区全部取消，把早餐吧作为一个可以用餐的空间，也可以作为一个台面。

            如果你的厨房是紧凑型厨房，而且它不是开放式厨房，那么考虑移除你的客厅和厨房之间的墙，以增加空间。你会惊讶地发现，当你把厨房变成一个开放式的厨房时，你会感到多么宽敞。

            7. 隐藏式厨房

            在最佳厨房设计理念中的另一个新兴趋势是在过去几年中逐渐流行的一个概念–隐藏式厨房的概念。

            从本质上讲，这些是由抽屉隔开的紧凑型厨房空间–而且是在需要时变得 “看不见 “的空间。有了这样的厨房，你可以轻松地隐藏你的厨房的混乱，并在几秒钟内将带厨房的客厅变成一个完整的客厅。

            8.紧凑型厨房的布局

            改造紧凑型厨房的办法很多，但在开始之前，你需要考虑合理布局。布局对你在厨房是否容易操作有很大的影响，以及是否令人舒服。无论你是从新开始还是适应当前的空间，都要考虑你如何使用你的厨房，以及你做的最多的任务。不要只考虑每天的早餐需求和晚上需要做晚餐，而是要更具体的内容。

            如果你的个人喜好L形的厨房，但如果它使你的空间看起来很拥挤，那么选择把你的厨房橱柜只放在一边。相反，考虑在厨房增加一个小的岛台，不仅可以提供橱柜空间，并且可以作为用餐空间。如果你的厨房是封闭的，那么考虑移除厨房与其他生活空间的墙。开放式的厨房通常会使空间看起来更大，并是可以提供更多有凝聚力的生活空间。

             9. 使用更大的瓷砖铺设厨房地板

            与流行的看法相反，更大的瓷砖实际上使空间看起来更大。如果你考虑厨房的地面使用瓷砖（铺装），那么考虑使用900×600或600×600尺寸的瓷砖，它们会使你的地面看起来空间更大。这是由于灌浆线的数量较少，“断裂”会减少。如果你想知道更多关于大型厨房瓷砖，以及它们如何给人一种空间的错觉的信息，请阅读我们与瓷砖Tile Depot的问答文章。

            10. 用抽屉取代厨房橱柜 

            普通的橱柜不能有效地储存你的电器和用具。（在使用方面）它们也很不方便，因为存放在橱柜后面的东西往往很难拿到。相反，尝试安装可以抽拉的抽屉。当你安装一个可以抽拉的抽屉时，你可以很容易地看到所有的内容物，你的厨房也可以得到能够更好地收纳。

            11. 关注橱柜的纹理，并合理运用镜子

            拥有一个紧凑型厨房往往意味着你必须选择不会使你的厨房看起来更局促的材料。闪亮和光滑的表面会反射厨房内的光线，这将使你的厨房看起来更大。大多数紧凑型厨房由于其简约的外观，在现代风格中效果很好，但如果这不是你想要的外观，那么只要记住不要让你的材料过于华丽和灰暗，因为它们会使你的厨房看起来更小。

            如果你喜欢现代和当代风格，那么你也可以使用玻璃作为防溅板，这将创造一个空间的错觉。如果你不打算采用现代和当代风格，结合你厨房的设计风格，那么可以考虑在墙上添加一面镜子，例如，经典厨房可以考虑用一个配有白色框架的的大平面镜。

            如果你正在设计现代或当代风格的厨房，请为你的抽屉和橱柜选择一个隐藏式把手的设计。如果你要做一个传统的、乡村的、古典的或田园风格的厨房，那么就选择小的亚光旋钮而不是笨重的把手。

            12.厨房小推车和高餐桌

            紧凑型厨房往往缺乏台面空间。想出创造性的方法为你的紧凑型厨房增加柜台空间，这对你的布局很有帮助。一种方法是买一个厨房小推车，你可以把它作为一个额外的柜台，用于准备和储存东西。当不使用时，你可以把它从你的厨房空间中移走，或者把它折叠起来存放。另一种方法是拥有高大的餐桌，当你站着的时候也可以作为准备工作的柜台使用。在餐桌旁添加一些条凳，以提升你的空间设计。

            13. 把你的墙饰和背景墙作为一个设计元素来考虑

            在紧凑型厨房里添加设计元素不是很容易，因为橱柜是流线型的，没有太多的空间可以添加装饰品。然而，你可以通过添加一面背景墙来为你的紧凑型厨房增添特色。避免将绘画或装饰品放在墙上，因为这可能使你的紧凑型厨房感到封闭。然而，您可以通过安装鲜艳的瓷砖或将墙面涂成与厨房其他部分形成对比的颜色来吸引人们对墙面的注意。你还可以添加有纹理的瓷砖，为你的厨房增加一个额外的维度。

            14.将大自然带进你的紧凑型厨房

            在你的厨房设计中融入自然元素，可以为你的厨房增添急需的温暖。较大的厨房可以自由地混合使用木材和石材等材料，但对于紧凑型厨房来说，通常添加大量的木质元素，容易使它看起来很封闭。因此，可以考虑在橱柜的角落里加入绿色植物。

            你也可以添加爬藤类植物，从顶部开始，垂落在你的橱柜上。如果你确实想添加木质类装饰，那么你可以在你的背景墙上添加质地像木材的瓷砖。木纹砖现在经常出现在厨房里，因为它们有木头的纹理和外观，但很容易清洁。如果你在墙面上使用木纹砖，那么请选择较浅的颜色，而不是深色。

            15. 让你的厨房橱柜与墙壁颜色协调统一

            将橱柜的颜色与墙面相匹配，可以创造出一个感觉轻快的和宽敞的厨房。为了使中性厨房的设计更生动，你可以添加一面彩色的背景墙，对比鲜明的照明设备和橱柜把手

            16. 安装大水槽

            在紧凑型厨房里安装一个大水槽是非常方便的，特别是如果你没有洗碗机的话。一个大水槽可以让你方便地洗碗，也可以在做饭时把未洗的碗放在看不见的地方，不至于使你的台面空间变得杂乱。
