２　About the height of the easy-to-use hanging cabinet

Pay attention to hanging cabinets, and place them in a location where things are easy to use and see.

We also recommend using a rack or downwall that can be pulled up to eye level and lowered if necessary.

When choosing the height of your kitchen, consider your family’s needs and usability first, and consider remodeling.

Standard sizes of kitchen equipment are usually designed to fit the average height of women, but depending on the user, standard size equipment may be difficult to use.

Therefore, it is important to carefully consider when choosing the height of the wall cabinets in your kitchen design.

In order to avoid regrets such as “it’s hard to use” or “I can’t reach!” with a standard-sized hanging cabinet, it is important to check the height that suits the user’s height and needs.

The washstand is an essential place in daily life, and its usability is directly linked to the stress on the body and comfort.

Choosing the height of the sink that suits your height and how you use it is important to prevent back pain and inconvenience.

We will focus on the height of the washbasin and explain in detail how to choose one and things to keep in mind.

This problem can occur if the height of the sink is not correct.

If the sink is too high

If the sink is too high, water will splash around when you use it, and it can get dirty quickly.

This increases the amount of cleaning effort required.

Additionally, you have to raise your arms unnecessarily high, which can put stress on your body if used for long periods of time.

If the sink is too low

If the sink is too low, you will have to bend over to use it, increasing the strain on your lower back.

Especially for people who suffer from back pain, if the height of the sink is not appropriate, it may worsen the back pain.

Old washbasins in particular were designed to fit the average height of Japanese people at the time, so they may not fit modern heights.

“Height ÷ 2” is a general guideline when choosing a washstand, but it is not necessarily a fixed rule.

For example, if you are 170cm tall, the appropriate height for your sink is 85cm.

Similarly, if you are 160cm tall, 80cm is recommended.

However, the height of the sink may depend on factors that vary from family to family.

Therefore, it is important to decide the height of the washbasin according to your family’s usage, preferences, and frequency of use.

While keeping height in mind, the final choice should be made by considering the height that the entire family can use comfortably.

The washstand is a place that is frequently used for daily grooming and hand washing, and its comfort affects the quality of life.

Setting the height of the washbasin appropriately is one of the points that cannot be overlooked when remodeling.

Proceed with your renovation plans with the correct knowledge about the height of your bathroom sink.

When remodeling, there is a tendency to focus on the latest functionality and design, but it is also important to put yourself in the shoes of the people who will actually use the space and consider the height of the space to ensure a stress-free experience.

No matter how nice the design is, you’ll want to plan carefully to avoid storage that’s too high so you can’t see inside, or too low that causes back pain.
