Interior cabinet lighting

Interior cabinet lighting

There is little doubt that, other than its style, whether modern or classic, lighting plays a key part in the appearance, design, attractiveness and functionality of your kitchen. And if natural lighting is simply a trait of your space, then surely artificial lighting constitutes a strategic and important way for its upgrade and promotion, since the purpose of a well designed kitchen is to provide the comfort and flexibility to move about at night, as well as the dark winter mornings.

Here, MobelArt will present you with some techniques for your cabinet lighting, the “must” placement points, different lighting types, as well as some useful tips to make the right choice!

Kitchen counter lighting: The counter constitutes the absolutely most critical surface in the daily life of your kitchen, since this is where all the day’s meals are prepared. And so, for practical and visual comfort reasons, sufficient lighting should be available underneath the hanging cupboards.

Lighting on the floor level: Lighting can also be placed inside the kitchen baseboard. It might not affect the overall functionality, but will add a touch of elegance, as well as, combined with the rest of the lighting, a visual harmony during night hours.

Lighting underneath the cupboards: Lighting underneath the kitchen cupboards can be achieved in a number of ways, satisfying even the most demanding of customers. The especially economical recessed fluoride lamps can be easily placed underneath your cupboards, providing ample light to your counter and beyond. On the other hand, one of the most common and modern solutions is the LED tape: These tapes combine substance, practicality and energy saving, and can be utilized in every corner of the kitchen, even as secret lighting. Lighting under the cupboards can be also achieved with external hanging spots, a modern trend that can also cover the sink area. A fourth solution is the now classic choice of recessed lighting spots, which are especially effective in providing the simplest and most important thing: light!

WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND

No matter how easy cupboard lighting makes our daily life, its uncontrolled use may yield the opposite results. For that reason, the lighting should be installed in strategic places that will provide light to the entire kitchen area, will not cause shadowing on its surfaces and will not contrast with the room’s design and style, faithfully preserving visual harmony.

Ergonomic mechanisms to take advantage of blind spots

Ergonomic mechanisms to take advantage of blind spots

It is undoubtedly true that every kitchen presents its own difficulties. That is, after all, the reason for a renovation. And some of the most commonly encountered obstacles are the dreaded blind spots. Of course, other than a visual upgrade, the aim of a kitchen renovation is and should be space management, the utilization of every available inch, and its optimal organization.

In contemporary, modern and classic kitchens, furniture can be equipped with a number of ergonomic mechanisms, which not only provide comfort and easy access, but also guarantee maximum security, while at the same time making use of the entire available space. A total renovation of your kitchen will give you the opportunity to take advantage of difficult and blind spots, by installing new furniture and electrical appliances with automated doors, which can open with a simple move or even remotely. The ergonomic mechanisms in the kitchen cupboards can utilize those blind spots and secret corners which can transform from enemies into our allies, by bringing us what we are looking for on a… silver platter! No longer do we need to bend, crouch and exert ourselves, gone is the need to empty out an entire cupboard looking for something.

Take, for example, the “bean” mechanism. A full extension mechanism, specifically built for a blind corner cupboard, where cooking appliances and accessories are stored on special platforms with slip-resistant bottoms. Another ergonomic mechanism is the double incline. In small kitchens especially, it is fundamental to take advantage of the vertical space and achieve maximum storage area. Of course, that means that the cupboards will reach a certain height and will thus not be easily accessible. That is where the double inclines come in, ensuring accessibility and reach inside the entire cabinet space. Continuing to make our life easier are the wagons, full extension baskets equipped with brakes. Instead of squatting and searching… in the dark, everything now comes to light by utilizing a smooth and silent rolling technology. On the other hand, corner mechanisms with baskets and full extraction shelves make access to the blind spots of your kitchen easier, while the lifting door systems provide great help to cupboard opening and closing. Another alternative is provided by the food storage systems. Those special pantries, whether vertical or supported, offer immediate visual and hand access to the stored food. Finally, the bottle holders, that provide the opportunity to safely store our bottles and prevent… accidents that can happen if stored inside a simple, unsecured cupboard.

Whichever layout we pick together for your new kitchen, it will be a model of ergonomics, helping us to minimizing unnecessary and time consuming movement. The ergonomic kitchen mechanisms we create at MobelArt not only offer comfort, but also ensure maximum security for you and all the members of your family. Contact us!

Make your life easier, by choosing more wagon-drawers for immediate access to the most used items.

Make your life easier, by choosing more wagon-drawers for immediate access to the most used items.

What should a kitchen be other than beautiful and comfy, in order to mirror your own personality and lift up your mood, since this is where one of the most fundamental aspects of your life is being prepared: your meals! But at the same time, it must be functional, ergonomic, and able to optimize your workflow, in order to save time and, most importantly, space.

Food packs, consumables and non-consumables, containers and utensils must have their own storage space (shelves, cupboards, drawers, cabinets), arrayed in such a way, so that you can get the most out of the available space, its utility and accessibility. 

This is where pantries come in, equipped with interior cabinet baskets, or our “drawer baskets” system, an installation that can be drawn out completely form the cabinet. Another effective solution mechanism for corner cabinets is “Magic Corners”. These mechanisms vary in size and build, depending on the available space, and they can be fitted in the cabinet door or be completely extractable. With a Magic Corner, you can achieve total utilization of a blind corner kitchen cabinet, as well as immediate and easy access, with a simple move, to food packs, containers or kitchen utensils.

The aforementioned “bean” type, full extension corner mechanism, as well as the threaded, rotating utensil holders, while our “Space Corner” cabinet, which can be fitted to any height or width, provides some much-needed help in the search for corner storage space in our kitchen.

It goes without saying that the classic drawer and utensil mechanism are an irreplaceable part of any modern or classic kitchen design: utensil holders, plateholders, plastic containers and trash bag storage units, spice holders and hanging beams for different accessories.

Make your life in the kitchen easier by choosing our company, trusting us to study your needs and satisfy your taste.

MobelArt provides high standard installations which will create and free up storage space in your kitchen, combined with a great sense of design and style, as well as exceptionally affordable prices!

Column-style oven and microwave oven installation

Column-style oven and microwave oven installation

It is no secret that placing the oven and microwave can be a little… headache during the building of a new kitchen.

And if the choice for our oven seems easier, since there are really limited, specific alternatives –freestanding or walled in– the challenge lies in the placement of our microwave oven in our new kitchen.

After the choice of appliances has been made, there are three main criteria one must take into consideration when discussing placement: Those are the position of a power source, your choice cooking methods and the available space.

Walled in appliances (ovens and hot plates) can be fully integrated in the cabinet space, leading the modern kitchen to a different direction, tone and note. With the hot plates being placed by definition on the counter or kitchen islet, a solution that can be applied to the rest of the appliance, the oven proper –other than the obvious one, underneath the counter– is the column.

The choice of the column offers us oven access without the need to bend or squat, while highlighting the modern character of our kitchen design, provided that is properly harmonized with the rest of the space.

As for the microwave oven, the most popular and widespread solution today is an over the oven placement, in the style of the column, meaning a vertical cabinet, on the right height, to make its everyday use easy. Proper height measurement is important, since often, the placement of the microwave in higher cabinets, in the name of space optimization, can yield significant disadvantages.
