ALTHOUGH not always stand out as the other spaces , the kitchen remains should be laid out in accordance residential design . One little arrangement , the house will look less unsightly .
In the past , the kitchen is considered as dirty and smoky areas . Therefore , the tools used when cooking is still in the form of wood or bamboo so that in old houses where the kitchen is not considered special. In fact , in the eastern region of Indonesia in particular , it is difficult to differentiate between where the kitchen and living room because it is fused .
In contrast to the present age . Currently the kitchen can be said to have a function that is almost as much as the old days . Related to the more modern era , the upper classes chose more eating out than eating at home . No doubt , the kitchen was almost rarely used . The phenomenon that makes the existence of the kitchen into a " question mark " .
Architect Eryudhawan said Bambang , formerly the kitchen is the essence of a place to stay . This is where the center of the household activities , especially those related to cooking and eating activities . Only later , when modern residential architecture evolved and focused on the concept of public housing , the kitchen began to be made with minimal size . Such housing intended for the lower middle class society . The house is small , so is the kitchen .
Due to the small kitchen , then the owner of the house can not cook too many snacks . As a result , eating outside the home of choice . However , when the income was small , it is impossible also to constantly eat outside the home . Thus , the alternative chosen to shop and cook for themselves . In this regard , the small house would have to have a kitchen though minimal . The kitchen must be enabled for the activity of washing , cutting , and cooking food . Land size is not larger than the pantry . However , this phenomenon long into a dilemma .The dilemma in the sense , the kitchen can become a lifestyle or a kitchen is a necessity of a claim . Therefore , in addition to practicality , the kitchen is also increasingly rarely used . In fact, the kitchen may just be a place for cooking water . Not surprisingly , changing the lifestyle of people so that the kitchen made as necessary . Some coverage above phenomenon which later becomes a reason not to be made a big kitchen . Or in other words , the size of the kitchen fairly minimum .So , what should be standard equipment used to complete the minimum kitchen ? Bambang said , the kitchen is certainly a minimum should support activities such as washing , cutting , and cooking laukpauk . The ingredients commonly held is a sink , a package with a cut . Meanwhile , the rest of the other space to put the stove . " Ordinary stove . No need to think about wearing oven when not used every day , "said Bambang .In addition to standard tools to support the kitchen , another thing to note include three things: health , safety , and security . Health means is , the supply of trash cans in the kitchen . Therefore , you may not leave food ingredients that have been unused just lying on the cutting table . This certainly would invite unpleasant smells .However , you also should not necessarily let the trash cans are in a period too long . Preferably , finished cooking , immediately dispose of waste to the disposal of other areas . It is no less important , according to Bambang , make sure there is a window that can be opened so that fresh air into the kitchen . Therefore , the results of the air and the air smells of gas garbage out definitely harm you . For that, create a kitchen that relate directly to the outside air ." Do not let you create the kitchen was closed and dark . It can actually harm you , " said Bambang .
Related to the safety aspect , Bambang suggest that you have a tool for early fire prevention . No need extinguishers difficult , simply provide buckets and sand .
" The kitchen is the source of fire . Because not all homeowners have a fire extinguisher , then look simple . You can learn from India .There certainly provide every kitchen is made of zinc bucket filled with sand . So , every time there is a fire , yes its early prevention using the sand , "said Bambang .
While the matter of security , Bambang connect it to the location . The current location of the kitchen does not have to always be in the back . You may also put it on the front .
" So , while cooking , you can still control the condition of the outside area . Maybe once when the kitchen is placed in front of the house does not look beautiful . However , it is also a sparse, most families only . So , I think it is fine if you want to be placed outside the kitchen or in front of the house , " said Bambang .
So even with the kitchen floor , make sure there is slick and easy to clean . Thus , before buying flooring materials , used to ask the seller , if there is a layer or layers antinoda antigoresnya ? Many materials you can choose for the kitchen , such as granite materials or materials from natural stones .Talk minimalist concept , certainly with regard to the effect of the expansion of space . One component that could give the impression it is widely iridescence . Bambang suggested, should the colors used are bright colors such as white , off white , or beige .
Lighting is also important to note . You should select the type of bright lights . More than that , the kitchen lights also do not rely solely on the position above the ceiling . That's because without realizing it you can cover the lamp shade so that cooking becomes impaired . Alternatively , put the lights on the top kitchen shelf which is directed directly to the cooking activities .
