Indlu yokugezela ingenye yamakamelo athinta kakhulu impilo yethu yansuku zonke, futhi emafulethini aseSpain, lapho isikhala sivame ukulinganiselwa khona, isentimitha ngalinye liyabalwa. Umzabalazo omdala phakathi kokuba nakho konke kufinyeleleke kalula nokungasigqibi isikhala ngefenisha enkulu ekugcineni unezimpendulo ezithile ezicacile. Izixazululo zokugcina izinto ziqonde phezulu, izitayela ezintsha zezinto zokwakha, kanye nokubuya kwezinto zakudala njengezindawo zokugezela ezinamathayela kushintsha indlela esiqonda ngayo lesi sikhala.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukulungiswa okuphelele noma izinguquko ezincane ezenza umehluko omkhulu, ochwepheshe bayavuma ukuthi isihluthulelo sisekuhleleni nasekukhetheni izinto ezihlanganisa ukusebenza kanye nobuhle. Kusukela kumakhabethe athatha isikhala esincane kuya kumpompi oguqula ukugeza kube umkhuba wokuphila kahle, amathuba amaningi avulekile futhi, okuhle kunakho konke, afanelekela zonke izabelomali.
Amakhabethe amade: ikhambi lamagumbi okugeza anesikhala esincane
Ezindlini zangasese ezincane, inkinga ngokuvamile akuyona ukuntuleka kwefenisha, kodwa ukuthola izingcezu ezifanela ukwakheka ngaphandle kokuthatha isikhala esiningi kakhulu. Ikhabethe elibanzi kakhulu lingaba yisithiyo kunokuba usizo, kanti elincanyana lingase lingabi namandla okugcina izinto. Yilapho amakhabethe amade eba wusizo khona. Esikhundleni sokuthatha isikhala esiningi phansi, anwebeka phezulu, okukuvumela ukuthi usebenzise kahle isikhala esincane sendlu yokugezela ngokusebenzisa izindonga ezivame ukushiywa zingenalutho. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amakhabethe amancane anenzuzo enkulu: athatha isikhala esincane kakhulu phansi futhi angangena emakhoneni lapho amanye amakhabethe engeke angene khona.
Isibonelo esiyinhloko salo mkhuba ikhabhinethi yendlu yokugezela ende yaseBoston evela eLivarno, eye yaba ngenye yezengezo ezintsha ezivelele kukhathalogi yeLidl. Njengoba ingamasentimitha angu-34,2 ububanzi namasentimitha angu-28 ukujula, kodwa ifinyelela ukuphakama kwamasentimitha angu-186,2, le khabhinethi yenzelwe ukwandisa isikhala esiqondile ngaphandle kokunciphisa umthamo wokugcina. Umklamo wayo ophefumulelwe yiNordic, oqukethe uhlaka olumhlophe olucwebezelayo kanye nemininingwane efana ne-Sonoma oak, ihlangana kahle nezindlu zokugezela zesimanje kanye nalezo ezinesitayela esifudumele nesikhangayo.
Ngaphandle kobukhulu bayo, ikhabhinethi yaseBoston ihlanganisa izindawo zokugcina ezivaliwe nezivulekile, nezindawo ezimbili ezivulekile kanye namashalofu angaphakathi alungisekayo ukuphakama. Lokhu kuguquguquka kukuvumela ukuthi uvumelanise iyunithi nanoma yini oyidingayo ukuyigcina, kusukela kumathawula agoqiwe kuya ezintweni zokugeza othanda ukuzigcina zingabonwa. Imininingwane ewusizo kakhulu ukuthi iminyango ingafakwa kuzo zombili izinhlangothi, okwenza kube lula ukuzivumelanisa nokwakheka kwendlu yakho yokugezela. Umenzi uphinde agqamise ukugqoka kwayo kwe-melamine resin, okwenza ukuhlanza kube lula futhi kuthuthukise ukumelana nokuklwebheka, kanye nezinsimbi zayo zensimbi kanye nama-glides ukuvikela phansi. Konke lokhu ngentengo engu-€42,99, okwenza kube inketho engabizi kulabo abafuna ukwenza isikhala sibe ngcono ngaphandle kokutshala imali enkulu.
Sala kahle endlini yokugezela emhlophe nengenamsoco: izitayela ezizayo
Ukuphela kwehlobo kuvame ukuhambisana nesikhathi sokubhekana nokulungiswa kwezindlu ezincane, futhi indlu yokugezela ingenye yamakamelo azuza kakhulu kulezi zinguquko. Nakuba imibala engathathi hlangothi nekhanyayo ibilokhu iyisiko, abaklami bangaphakathi bebelokhu befuna ubuntu obengeziwe kulesi sikhala. Inkampani iStrohm, phakathi kwabanye, ichaze izitayela ezinhlanu ezenzelwe ukukhanyisa nokuvuselela izindlu zangasese ngaphandle kokuba yisicefe.
Umkhuba wokuqala ukuhlanganiswa kwesinki nekhawunta, okudala indawo eqhubekayo eqeda ukuphazamiseka kokubona. Iqoqo elisha likaStrohm iKamaleohm libonisa lo mkhuba ngamasinki namakhawunta ngomphumela wemabula, into elula, ephikelela, futhi engenazimbobo ephinda ukujula okubonakalayo kwetshe lemvelo. Esinye isithako salo mbono ofanayo ukuhlanganiswa kokhuni nemabula, njengoba kubonakala emiklamo kaSklum, lapho izinto zemvelo zihlangana khona ukuze kudalwe into yonke evumelanayo.
Ama-faucet nawo abe yinto ebalulekile. Kunokuba abe ama-faucet e-chrome avamile, izinsimbi ezinesimo, njengegolide elixutshwe kanye ne-gunmetal, ziya ngokuya zithandwa, ikakhulukazi uma zisetshenziswa ngendlela ehlelekile ezingxenyeni ezahlukene zendlu yokugezela. Eyokuqala inezela ukuthinta okufudumele nokuyinkimbinkimbi, kuyilapho eyesibili iveza ukuphela okumnyama, kwesimanje. Ngendlela efanayo, izikrini zeshawa eziqinile nezikhanyayo ngokubonakalayo ziya ngokuya zithandwa ukuze kugwenywe ukuhlukanisa isikhala ngokubonakalayo—isixazululo esinconywa kakhulu ezindlini zangasese ezincane ezineshawa lapho ukuqhubeka okubonakalayo kubalulekile ekudaleni umuzwa wobubanzi.
Ishawa njengendawo yokuphila kahle kanye nendlu yangasese elengayo
Esinye isimo esikhulayo ukuguqula ishawa yansuku zonke ibe yindawo encane yokunethezeka. Indlu yokugezela enkulu ayidingeki: ukusungula izinto ezintsha kugxila kakhulu kuma-faucet uqobo kanye nezinhlelo zawo zokulawula. Ikholomu yeshawa ye-thermostatic ye-Strohm Origehm Dual Control ivumela ukugeleza okunembile kanye nokulawula izinga lokushisa futhi ifaka ubuchwepheshe be-Safe Touch ukugcina izinga lokushisa eliphephile lompompi. Lezi zinhlobo zezixazululo zenza ukugeza kube yinto ejabulisayo nephephile, into ochwepheshe abayibheka njengebalulekile endlini yokugezela yanamuhla.
Indlu yangasese elenga odongeni ingenye indlela enhle yokwandisa isikhala ngokubonakalayo. Ngokususa ukuthintana phansi, ikhulula indawo engaphezulu futhi ihlinzeke ngokuhlanza, kuyilapho futhi idala umuzwa wokukhanya kwezakhiwo. Lesi sixazululo sihlangana kahle kakhulu nezindawo ezincane, lapho into ngayinye kumele ifeze injongo ngaphandle kokucindezela imvelo. Uma zihlanganiswa, lezi zindlela zibonisa ukuthi indlu yokugezela yesimanje iya kuphi: izinto ezimbalwa ezihlukanisiwe kanye nomuzwa omkhulu wokuhlangana, ngezinto ezifana nemabula, izinsimbi ezifudumele, kanye nengilazi zithatha indawo ephambili.
Ukubuya kwamabhavu okugeza anethayela
Izwe lokuklama libonakala ngemijikelezo yalo yokuvuselelwa, futhi enye imfashini ebuya ngamandla ibhavu elinothayela. Lesi sitayela, esaqala ukuthandwa ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20, sisusa ama-Jacuzzi endabuko kanye nama-clawfoot tub. Abaklami abanjengoMax Humphrey, wasePortland, bathi lesi sitayela yilokho kanye okudingwa yizindlu: “Abantu bamukela izindlu zangasese ezizwakala zintsha kancane futhi zingafani ne-spa ye-Zen,” uyachaza. “Ithayela elisebhavuni lenza lizizwe sengathi lifakwe ngendlela ecatshangelwe kahle futhi elakhiwe kahle.”
Ngaphandle kokukhumbula izinto ezidlule, amagumbi okugeza anethayela anikeza ukubukeka okungenakuphikwa. Ukufanisa ithayela lebhavu ne-backsplash yeshawa kungadala umbono obonakalayo owandisa isikhala. UShannon Kadwell, umqondisi wekhishi nebhavu kwa-Anthony Wilder Design/Build, uchaza ukuthi lokhu “kukhohlisa iso ukuba libone uhlelo lwephansi oluqhubekayo nolunwetshiwe, okwenza amagumbi okugeza amancane noma aphakathi nendawo azizwe emakhulu kakhulu.” Ukuguquguquka kwalolu hlobo lwebhavu kwenza lufanelekele izikhala ezahlukahlukene, kusukela emakamelweni okulala abantwana kuya emagumbini okugeza echibi, kanye nohlu olubanzi lwamathayela atholakalayo—isitimela esingaphansi komhlaba, ipeni, i-mosaic, noma i-four-by-four yakudala—kukuvumela ukuthi ukhethe amathayela ezindlu zokugezela ezincane ukuze zivumelane nesitayela sakho.
Kulabo abafisa ukwamukela lo mkhuba, ochwepheshe batusa ukuhlela ngokucophelela. Kubalulekile ukusebenzisa amathayili angenazo izimbobo kumabhavu akhelwe ngaphakathi noma angaphansi komhlabathi futhi uqaphele kakhulu ukufakwa kwamathayili ukuze umklamo noma iphethini ihambisane nemigqa ye-grout phansi eshaweni nasodongeni. I-grout izodlala indima ebalulekile ngamathayili asikwele, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuyikhetha ngokucophelela futhi ulungele ukuhlanganiswa njalo eminyakeni embalwa. Kodwa ithayili ngokwalo liyinkanyezi yangempela: "Awudingi iphethini eyinkimbinkimbi noma izinto ezinhlanu ezahlukene ezincintisanayo," kugcizelela uHumphrey. "Isimo esiyisisekelo ngombala omuhle sanele."
Ukuhleleka okuguquguqukayo kanye nokugcinwa: isihluthulelo sokuzivumelanisa nesigaba ngasinye
Indlu yokugezela iyisikhungo sezinqumo zokugcina nokusetshenziswa kwansuku zonke ezingashintsha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ikakhulukazi emakhaya anesikhala esilinganiselwe, imikhuba eguquguqukayo, kanye nezidingo ezishintsha ngokweminyaka noma ukwakheka kwekhaya. Isihloko kumagazini i-Good Housekeeping sahlanganisa imibono yokubeka amashalofu endlu yokugezela enesihloko esifanayo: ukwengeza isitoreji ngaphandle kokuthatha isikhala esengeziwe phansi. Iziphakamiso zifaka amashalofu antantayo ngaphezu kwebhavu, izindawo ezibekwe ngaphakathi, amashalofu angaphezu kwendlu yokugezela, ifenisha elula, ama-trolley, kanye nezixazululo ezingaphansi kwesinki.
Umqondo ongemuva kwalezi ziphakamiso uhambisana nenqubo yokufinyeleleka kanye nokuguquguquka. Ngaphambi kokwengeza izingcezu ezintsha, kuyalulekwa ukuthi ubuyekeze ukuthi yiziphi izinto okudingeka zigcinwe nokuthi zidinga isikhala esingakanani. Ukulahla izinto ezingasetshenziswanga ngaphambi kokufaka izindawo ezintsha kukuvumela ukuthi unqume ukuthi ishalofu elivulekile, ikhabethe elinamabhasikidi, ikhabethe elincane, noma indawo eyakhelwe ngaphakathi ifaneleka kangcono. I-United Nations inikeza iziqondiso zokufinyeleleka ezichaza ukuthi izesekeli, njengensipho, amathawula, nephepha langasese, kufanele zibekwe phakathi kwamamitha angu-0,50 no-1,20 ukusuka phansi okuqediwe, nokuthi izembozo zobuso kufanele zingasheleli futhi kube lula ukuzihlanza.
Ezindlini zangasese ezincane, inani lefenisha eguquguqukayo liyabonakala lapho izidingo zokugcina zivumelana nemikhuba emisha: izindwangu ezengeziwe, imikhiqizo yezingane, izinsiza zabantu asebekhulile, noma izinguquko ekutheni isikhala sisetshenziswa kangaki. Izinketho zisukela emashalofini enkuni kuya kumakhabethe okubonisa asendulo asetshenziswe kabusha, amashalofu engilazi endaweni ethile, indawo yokugcina izinto ezingaphansi kwe-vanity, kanye namashalofu e-marble eshaweni. Lapho isikhala sidinga ukuzivumelanisa nokukhula, imikhuba emisha, noma izidingo ezahlukene zokufinyeleleka, ingxoxo ishintsha isuka nje ekutheni izinto zigcinwe kuphi iye ekuklameni izindlu zangasese ezincane ukuze kongiwe isikhala ngenkathi kugcinwa inhlanzeko, ukuphepha, ukufinyelela, kanye nokunakekelwa okulula, ngezinsiza ezingahlelwa kabusha, zandiswe, noma zishintshwe ngaphandle kokushintsha ngokuphelele indawo ezungezile.
Ekugcineni, indlu yokugezela yesimanje ifuna ukulinganisela ubuhle nokusebenza kwayo, ikhetha izixazululo ezisebenzisa kahle wonke amakhona ngaphandle kokudela isitayela. Amakhabethe amade, amancane, izindawo ezingenamthungo, izinsimbi ezifudumele, amabhavu anamathayili, kanye nendawo yokugcina izinto eziguquguqukayo ngezinye zezinto ezibalulekile ezenza umehluko emakhaya aseSpain. Umkhuba ucacile: izinto ezimbalwa ezihlukanisiwe kanye nomuzwa omkhulu wobumbano, ngezinto ezinezela ubuntu nezixazululo ezithuthukisa impilo yansuku zonke. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kulungiselelwa ngokuphelele noma kulungiswe kancane, indlu yokugezela isibe yindawo lapho ukuklama nokusebenza kahle kuhambisana khona.
