A New Choice For Kitchen Renovations: JD.com Is A One-stop Solution For Electrical Appliance Storage

Recently, many friends around me are thinking about the kitchen at home, thinking about making some small renovations during weekends or holidays.

As we chatted, we found that what everyone complained about the most was not that the kitchen space was too small, but that as time went by, things continued to increase little by little. In that case, the countertop was filled with various electrical appliances, which looked extremely messy.

I originally planned to replace a new dishwasher, or add a steam oven, but after checking the cabinet structure, I found that it was not suitable. Either it could not be placed, or the power supply was insufficient. It seemed that a slight touch would cause overall changes, so I had no choice but to give up.

Kitchen bureau renovation This matter is really not as simple as just buying an appliance and plugging it in.

What everyone expects more at this time is actually a set of worry-free solutions, including how to modify the cabinets, how to configure the electrical appliances, and how to lay the water and electricity lines. It is best to do all these at once, instead of looking for a cabinet company today, making an appointment for electrical installation services tomorrow, and having to keep an eye on the construction team the day after tomorrow.

This kind of Integration The demand is particularly obvious in the kitchen space.

After all, the kitchen area of ​​our Chinese families is usually not large. Proper use of that space is more important than simply pursuing the function of a certain appliance.

Why “integration” and “integration” have become the new mainstream

Let me first talk about a phenomenon I observed.

In the past, when people renovated, they would first make the cabinets and then buy electrical appliances based on the reserved dimensions.

What often happens is that the size of the electrical appliances does not match the reserved grid of the cabinet. Either one side protrudes, or there are large gaps on both sides, which not only easily traps dirt and evil, but also looks unsightly.

The current situation is different. Many people are turning to embedded or integrated solutions. Large appliances such as ovens, steamers, and dishwashers are directly embedded into the cabinets, so that they form a plane with the cabinet doors, and the overall feeling is particularly strong.

There is a set of data that is quite illustrative. In the past year, the search volume around "integration" and "kitchen space" has shown a rapid increase. Among people who buy cabinets, more than half of them will purchase kitchen appliances together with the cabinets.

What does this mean?

It shows that people subconsciously no longer want to think about cabinets and appliances separately, but expect them to be a unified whole.

Especially the combination of hood, stove and cabinet, if well designed, can save a lot of space on the countertop and increase the storage space.

What is becoming more and more popular is the integrated cabinet, kitchen and electricity package, which implements the plan of "first order the appliances, then design the cabinets". It truly achieves the effect of "perfect fit". You can install it directly after buying it, without having to worry about whether the size matches.

One-stop kitchen renovation, where is the peace of mind?

When it comes to kitchen remodeling, many people’s first reaction is “trouble.”

That's right, it starts with measuring, then design, then material selection, then construction, then electrical installation, and finally debugging. There are really too many links.

If any link is not well connected, the construction period will be delayed.

Nowadays, there are some platforms that integrate this matter, starting from the product, then the package, then the design, and finally the service, thus building a complete chain.

For example, you no longer need to go to the building materials market to choose cabinet boards, and you no longer need to go to the electrical appliance store to choose hoods and stoves.

You can directly see all the products in the cleaning functional area, all the products in the cooking functional area, all the products in the storage functional area, and all the products in the social functional area directly in one place.

Starting from the sink, passing through the faucet, then the dishwasher, then the steam oven, then to the seasoning basket, and finally the storage rack, the categories are extremely complete.

More importantly, some platforms will provide pre-designed packages.

For example, for different house types, direct combination plans of cabinets, hoods, stoves and sinks are provided, and the prices are already packaged.

Brands such as Oppein, Zhibang, and Gold Medal all have ready-made customized cabinet packages. The prices range from eight to nine thousand to more than ten thousand and vary. They cover the mainstream sizes and styles on the market, saving you the effort of patching things together.

Another particularly practical point is that VR model room design.

When I looked at the renderings before, I always felt there was a gap between them and the reality.

Currently, you can enter the virtual sample room by yourself, change colors, change materials, check size ratios, and even simulate light at different angles.

In this way, before starting work, you can have a rough understanding of the final effect. If you are not satisfied, you can make adjustments at any time, instead of having to wait until the entire renovation is completed to regret it.

How to avoid the "invisible pit" in kitchen remodeling

What are you most afraid of when changing the bureau?

They are most afraid of "hidden consumption" and "service interruption".

When the quote comes in, a specific number is presented, and then, halfway through the construction process, it is announced that a power unit needs to be added here and a plumbing change is needed there, and the costs continue to rise like crazy.

There are also some situations where the delivery person and the installation person are not from the same group, and the time cannot come together. An installer has been waiting for a long time, but in the end he still failed to complete the installation.

Now, in order to prevent this situation from happening, some brands have joined forces with the platform to unify service standards.

Such as promoting "Environmental protection + pricing + service" The Trinity Standard.

In terms of environmental protection standards, it is clearly stated that the boards need to meet national standards and even obtain green certification, so that they can be used with peace of mind, especially in families with elderly people and children.

In terms of pricing standards, for non-standard customized products such as cabinets, the quotation system should be standardized, and what parts are included and what is not included should be made clear, so as to reduce later additions.

The service aspect is even more critical. It is promised that the customer service will track the progress throughout the entire process, the delivery will be synchronized without delay, and the connection of the entire process will be smoother.

These standards, although invisible, are exactly the key to ensuring that the entire renovation experience will not "roll over".

Make the kitchen the center of the home, not a utility room

In the final analysis, spending energy on remodeling the kitchen is not to chase a certain trend, but to make life more comfortable.

A good kitchen makes people want to stay in it for a while.

It should be a space that has communication functions and allows for cooking activities together. It should not be a place filled with clutter that makes it difficult to turn around.

At present, many brands and platforms are working together to build a kitchen brand alliance. Well-known brands such as Oppein, Haier, Boss, Fotile, and Supor are all part of this alliance.

Everyone has the same goal, which is to combine independent products into a set of easy-to-use scene planning methods.

Whether it is renovating an old house or carrying out partial renovation, the ultimate goal is to enable our ordinary families to use a more worry-free and cost-effective method, so as to have a kitchen that is both easy to use and beautiful.

After all, the most lively place in your home deserves to be treated well.
