Peninsula Kitchen Design: More Compact than Island
Kitchen February 14th, 2010
Did not have enough land to create a kitchen island, peninsula just for design. Many benefits can be obtained, from the design of this kitchen.
Some call it island, there is also misguided call the bar. Kitchen device which will be discussed this time, is a peninsula. Peninsula and the island is equally a top addition on the kitchen counter. The difference is, to put the island we need a fairly large area, because he stands alone. Not so with the peninsula.
Extra counter top is made together with the kitchen set, so do not require extensive land. In the kitchen set the shape of “L” for example, in the end could be added to a table, so the shape becomes like the design of “U”. Design like this is what often makes people think as the bar peninsula.
Just like the island, the bar is usually made to stand alone, no one with the kitchen set. In addition, high-sized bar, which is why the chair is used must be high as well, the bar stool name. While peninsula, made the size of ordinary table, so that can be used like a regular table.
So, what are the functions of the peninsula this? Function island and the bar is on the table. You can use it as an extra work area, just a sitting area, breakfast bar, or a combination of all these functions. Or add some drawers and shelves at the bottom peninsula, be extra storage containers. One more advantage is owned peninsula, he could well serve as a barrier, between the kitchen with another room adjacent. That’s why, once fitted peninsula was applied to the open concept kitchen (open kitchen).
You are planning to put an additional table in the kitchen, but worried that insufficient land? Kitchen peninsula could be the answer. Welcome to the new kitchen!

White and Blue Shown as light as clouds
Seeing white alloys and light blue in this kitchen, reminiscent of sky and clouds. Similarly, the resulting impression, as light as clouds.
Simple and easy are two words that describe the area right in the kitchen, breakfast Nook, in this photo. Be seen in terms of design, tables, chairs and kitchen set in this room berdesan simple. So it is with color options. Stainless steel-legged table blends slim “cold” with the top table and white chairs. The same color selected for hanging cabinets in the kitchen set.
Feeling a touch of color deficiency, some accessories and tools to eat blue. These colors blend to make the kitchen space feels bright, spacious, and light. It fits if you want to apply it in the fields small size.
Unfortunately, there is less in this area Nook breakfast, warmth and character. White and blue are able to give a mild impression, but both have the same character, “cool”. These colors blend to make room finally feels out of balance.
Real wood layer on the patterned HPL panel cabinet doors under kitchen set, can give a touch of “warm”. Apparently still not strong enough to balance the display space. As well as balancing the amplifier character, you can add color concentrated here. Red, dark blue, or orange for example. These colors can be applied in a window shade, the flowers are then placed on the table, or artwork on the wall color choices.
Relax, the colors were just to give a touch of character, really. Impression of light can still get in your room. So waiting for? Try, yuk!

Dutch Style Doors: Doors are also Kitchen Window
Right solution, here, who wants to create wide open kitchen door, without fear of your baby and pet bust out. Use only Dutch-style door.
How many of us who have a door in the kitchen. These doors are usually used to be the second entrance, in addition to the main door which is connected directly to the living room. Facilitate the existence of a second door out of the household when there are no guests in the living room.
Actually placing the exit / entry at home, in this case in the kitchen, can serve more than just a means of backup and out of the house. Kitchen door openings can serve as an additional, if accidental minimal kitchen window at home. Open wide the door of the kitchen, the air was flowing freely. No smells of delicious cooking fumes disappear faster too. But open wide the door could be a problem, if you happen to have children who are toddlers, or pets. Lax for a while, could-be child and pet the cute cat can “escape” out of the house.
So then? The solution, you can replace the ordinary door with a Dutch-style doors. These doors are usually found in old houses. Divided into two doors, top and bottom. If you want to get fresh air in the kitchen, you can open the top door and a window . Let the bottom remains closed. Thus, the wide openings still available, the small and pets will not even break out.
In order to look nice, different designs can be made for the door top and bottom. For example, make the top decorated with glass. Can thus also be slicked up with cafe curtains or short curtains. Functional, safe, pretty well. It’s really the right solution, right?

Cooking in the Kitchen With Outer House Condition Monitoring
Had not imagined, while cooking we can monitor conditions outside the home. How to put the kitchen at the front of the house. Complete kitchen with a kitchen window facing the outside of the building. The following kitchen can be an inspiration.
What is usually done in the hanging wall between the cabinet and working at the kitchen table? Generally only covered with ceramic or other material opaque. Not so with the kitchen in this photo. Because directly connected to the front page, was made in the kitchen window in the wall area between the upper and lower cabinets are usually made backpanel.
Window of approximately 2m along the so means “monitor” the situation outside the home. While cooking, the user can space out while watching conditions at the front of the house. That way, he could see what was happening in front of his house, if there are guests who visit, and so on.
That makes fun, the kitchen window is directly related to the pool, in front of the house. Cooking in the kitchen so it feels good too. Because there are sound-echo sound of water from areas outside the window.
In addition, the kitchen window also helps the exchange of air going well. The window was covered with glass, but not entirely. Remaining cavity approximately 10cm wide, which could be air flow path. The sharp scent of spices and food ingredients can more quickly disappear, because there are openings.
This window is also light enough to enter into the kitchen area is 9.9 m2. Not only illuminate the kitchen, more importantly, the light coming in well lit work area. Similar task light, but that is natural and free. Exciting, yes, knowing that the proper placement of windows can function optimally for us.
Pantry Has Multiple Functions
Kitchen September 15th, 2009
More and more people make the pantry at home. Function not just a place to process food, but also can be used as a place to relax and entertain guests.
So as not to upset, we try to discuss what’s pantry. The concept of the pantry, which in Indonesia is called the kitchen clean, actually come from Europe and America. In the country of origin, the main function is to keep the pantry of cooking utensils and food ingredients. That’s why, here many of the cabinet and the cabinet.
In the process, also used as a pantry area serving food and drinks. Especially in Western culture, which used to store and serve wine (wine) for their guests. To fulfill this function, the pantry is equipped with a bar or mini-food table. Also also equipped with electronic equipment to process food, such as microwave. But this pantry concept application was usually found in homes are large. In homes and small-sized, pantry functions are usually accommodated by the kitchen.
What about Indonesia? Actual use of the kitchen or pantry concept must be adapted to the culture of each region or country. Eastern people, particularly Indonesia, have different cooking habits with western people. We usually cook food with a relatively complex processing. That is why, we need a complete kitchen. Cooking utensils and other food ingredients are placed in one area, kitchen name. So, actually if you think about it, we do not need a pantry, if you already have a kitchen.
But apparently, many people do not understand the true concept of the pantry and kitchen. As a result, which already has a kitchen too, still want to create a pantry. That’s all, hell, back to the tastes and budget of each person. But if it does not function optimally, for what is made, agree?
