Hidden storage as the main function

Try to avoid open grids when designing, and design functions such as storage and washing to be more concise and concealed. For small apartments, the visual effect Stronger, more tidy and open space.
If an open kitchen has a central island, you can also use the space under the island to make some small objects belong. Some drawers can be added in the design of the base cabinet, so you don’t need to bend over to look for it repeatedly, which is convenient for picking up objects.

Closed Kitchen
Cabinet lighting
The closed kitchen space has relatively poor lighting. If only one overhead light is installed, it will be difficult to take into account the overall situation, resulting in a blind spot of viewing angle, which will affect the user's operation. At this time, a multi-light source design can be adopted, and the light strip can be installed at the bottom of the hanging cabinet or inside the glass cabinet , for auxiliary lighting.
