Cannot emphasize having clear counters! Tuck away almost everything. Decades in NYC apartments taught me that you need far less to cook a great meal than you think. A few good knives, a couple of good pans, appliances that do more than one thing.

Great advice ! Keep clutter off of counters , fridge and table . Knives can go in drawers or on magnetic strip . The only small appliance I have out is a coffee maker ..really makes a difference !

Great tips! We are going with white paint, a low contrast color scheme, vertical wall tiles, and leaving space around the window. You have the best kitchen videos on KZfaq!

Uh oh, I just purchased soapstone counter slabs (because I love that stone) ! I definitely won’t be able to avoid the contrast if I choose white cabinetry. Love your tips, though.

really thought-provoking. Had in my head strong bright contrasting colours for my small north-facing kitchen but I now understand the downside of this. Thank you.

What do you think about using smaller appliances to creat more counter and cabinet space? Here in the US, it seems bigger is always better, but with only two people and a small galley kitchen, I'm considering a 24" cooktop and 18" dishwasher.

@kitchinsider 3 ай бұрын

I think that's a great idea! 24" cooktop and 18" dishwasher are very common here in the UK. Makes total sense for a smaller kitchen and two people. 👍

@cindytranvik3318 3 ай бұрын

I live in the US and have a very small galley kitchen as well. I went with a 24” counter depth fridge, 24” integrated dishwasher, and 24” range. I really wanted every inch of counter space I could get. I love it and don’t regret it at all. I will have to say we have an extra fridge in our basement though.

0:19 Right photo, I like the dark countertop with light colors below and above.

Great video as always with super handy tips. Very small kitchen which currently has a number of open shelves - frankly just makes it look super messy unless you only need them for a couple of decorative pieces (I need storage however!) so will stick with cupboards; although point taken about them overwhelming the room so not too high! Thanks!

Wonderful video. I agree with you about integrated appliances, but in North America panel-ready fridges all seem to start at 25K (except for one Ikea fridge that has iffy reviews). Any insider ideas about when integrated fridges might be available for the masses here?

My kitchen is so tiny that I believe same-coloured walls and uppers, and a mirrored backsplash might help me out. And… perhaps, the large floor tiles. AND… maybe some LED lights under the cupboards.

No high cabinets- 152cm only. Empty walls- no shelves, no cabinets, only framed plants. Monocolour- wallpaper, fronts, appliances and countertops all in the same or very similar shade. Tall legs😂 of the cabinets so my robot vacuum cleaner can hide. Excellent video!!

Hello there, thank you for the wonderful insights. We have black marble and dark brown cupboards in our townhouse, it’s pretty small. My husband doesn’t want to get rid of the marble, but instead change the colour of cupboards. What could cupboards do you think will compliment the black marble and still brighten up the the space ? Thank you 🙏🏾

@kitchinsider 2 ай бұрын

Thanks! Ohh, black marble is lovely. If it were me I'd keep it simple and go with a light neutral and maybe try to pick out and match/tie in any light colours/pigments in the marble if there are any. A slightly warm off-white or soft light grey can work well against the black. Also consider your walls and floors and overall home scheme to help tie it all together. I hope that helps! 😃

Thank you so so much 😊 for the great tips 😊 light grey sounds great😍

Mirrored backsplash behind the sink shows every drop or splash of water. Ask me how I know.

I moved into a flat with a small kitchen with newly fitted gloss white units. Although fewer in number than I needed, there were too many to allow me to justify starting from scratch - so it was a matter of some repositioning and a few additional cabinets. I went for about as much of a contrasting worktop as it is possible to have - black granite with a metallic speck. I also specified matching upstand. With something so dark, the eye is tricked into thinking that the worktops are deeper than they really are, giving the illusion of a wider kitchen. P.S. Contrary to common belief, I have found the Granite a doddle to keep clean. A wipe over with a soapy cloth and a buff up with a dry cloth is all that I have ever needed to maintain the high gloss finish, which in turn also makes my smal, but low clutter kitchen more spacious than it otherwise would. High gloss large porcelain tiles laid in a brick pattern also helped. The visible floor space is just a little under 3 tiles by 5 tiles.

Love your videos. I also love European kitchen, but I’m in US. I’m thinking of reusing cabinets which would eliminate any window trim, bringing the cabinets right to the casing. Oy-just the opposite of your recommendation. But I’d expect to put mirrors on the window sides of the cabinets. Thoughts?
