It's simply not feasible to gut kitchens to follow frequently changing trends. Smarter to have classic/timeless canvas of cabinets and countertops and update / change with hardware, accessories, decor

Agreed! Classic and timeless is my preference.

The tilers were so happy when they opened the boxes of tile for my Arts and Crafts influcenced kitchen backsplash -- and saw shades of green zelig squares . They said they were bored to tears of white subway tile in white kitchens. Viva color and wood and style!

I have a new-to-me house with bright shiny white kitchen cabinets. I won’t be replacing them right away, because they’re actually in good condition. I painted the small amount of wall a deep blue and I love it - not on trend, but I think it looks great! (Or, at least as great as it can be). Next adventure - a Roman shade…

When I hear the term "latest in kitchen trends", I immediately think of never-ending updates and costs. I run and stick with the classics. My grandparents 1950s kitchen is still a classic. Other than updating the appliances and some refreshes that have occurred, it is generally the same and it still looks great. I love sconces in the kitchen and have had them for years above my fireplace.

@michellemarcisz7059 5 күн бұрын

You asked, so, here goes. Your page wasn’t around to give advice when I was renovating a few years back. I insisted on open shelves and subway tiles. I worked with a designer. She designed a corner nook that is lighted and away from the cook top. She also pushed me to go with a larger subway tile. The design came out amazing and I still love it though “white” is out. I have a lot of lighting including pendant and sconces. Working with a kitchen designer and interior decorator made all the difference in the end product. I wish more people valued that process.

Just got a year ago a modern farmhouse, but did add a blue island and brass faucet, wood shelves....it really is warm (small) and cozy, I think the black and white with some colour on the wood shelves (planters, pottery), and mixed metals (just 2) really warms it up. I know people say modern farmhouse is "out" but I love it (matte backsplash in white, but shiny counter tops)....anyway took forever for me to design, and I just adore it! (i do hate just boring black and white).

I have a black & white kitchen which I love, but I have warmed it up with some copper accessories (at least, copper-colored!!! Can't afford actual copper, alas.) And my cabinets don't go all the way to the ceiling -- I can't reach them anyway, and my ladder days are behind me. Just put down paper towel, newspaper, whatever, on the tops of the cabinets and switch them out every few months. Clean and easy. And blue-ish lighting always makes me think of Dexter.

A very good morning Garrett, I always love a kitchen episode as kitchen and my reading nook are my favourite spots, so thank you for the vlog with the gorgeous kitchen visuals. I got new cabinets and a combination of draws and shelves and installed the cabinets in all of the pantry, changed the lighting into recessed and added pendants over the island. A new chimney and the whole cooking range. However as I am seeing more and more of your vlogs it gives me a real good idea of what would be my ideal kitchen space and how to get it, so thanks a lot for all the episodes you do. Have a wonderful week and see you soon..xx

I've always said that only someone who doesn't cook can appreciate a shinny kitchen. On the other hand, a friend has a matte black-navy kitchen and it's simply hell 😆 I think it's worse than glossy in terms of cleaning. I thought it was magnificent until we started cooking! Slab backsplash continuity of countertop is just WOW! Lamp on countertop this is so funny I try on my countertop and every people say something about this 😆 I think I keep this only to have funny reaction at this point 😆 But I found this lamp very usefull and give soft light ambiance not traditionnel over lightning. Nice video Garrett 💛

just discovered your channel a few days ago and love it! i'm wrapping up my 1 bed condo remodel this week. the kitchen is pretty small (U shaped), but appears more spacious with the updates. i went with cream slim shaker frameless upper cabs to the ceiling, natural white oak lower cabs (mostly drawers), honed calacatta oro slab porcelain countertops and backsplash. hardware is antique laquered brass handles on the upper & lowers. installed an induction stove, 18 inch wide paneled dishwasher and narrow (24 inch wide) but tall counter depth stainless steel fridge. this gave me more countertop space and it has a euro vibe. i really like the porcelain countertops... cheaper than marble but still has a matte stone feel. the flooring is a wide plank light wood laminate (i said no to LVP) that has a matte wood look. i've learned so much during this remodel process! now i need help with the interior design of my front room and bedroom! do you consult beyond the kitchen?

The flat panel, built in refrigerator style is not just in Paris, it's all over Europe and it has been for years 🤗 Also, what if you can't afford the stone countertop, let alone backsplash? With new built appartments here in Belgium, the standard countertop they put in is laminate, and for now, sadly enough, it's all I can afford 🤷🏼‍♀️

@GarrettLeChic 15 күн бұрын

I understand. Affordability is definitely a consideration. That’s why I make videos for all budgets and discuss many design styles. I think what you did is just fine as laminates are durable, more affordable and can look very nice. I didn’t mean to suggest the Parisian apartment style is just in Paris. It’s a popular design style we see in many places around the world.

Paint is a good way to get some color in the kitchen. When I redid my kitchen, I thought I would have some great, colorful backsplash, and then I suddenly realized, but that was not the way to go. Plus, I don’t have much money and I was going to only redo this kitchen one time, so I went with 3 x 12 white subway tile but I painted the kitchen and nice bright, dark mustard color. I can always repaint it but I can never replace those tiles.

When my grandparents were married just after WWII ended my grandmother had a black and white kitchen in the house they built. The accent color was fire engine red and she actually painted one accent wall this color. She was ahead of her time and everyone loved it - the pictures I've seen are gorgeous. I agree that warm neutrals are in fashion but I live in such a hot climate I still favor cool blue and green and white. As for lighting yes to sconces but absolutely no to a lamp on the counter.

Parisian style kitchens = No upper cabinets. Ackk! They must budget way more time for grocery shopping than I am willing to do. Besides two adults, we have three kids plus pets who eat like there is no tomorrow and we cook at home for most meals. Need both the wall pantry storage and upper cabinets for items like cereal, pet food, and other staples.

Most of the Actual Parisian kitchens DO have upper cabinets - the stores being near does aloow for frequent shopping, but still - one needs to store the staples and cookware and other kitchen stuff, and the surfaces are small so one NEEDS to use that vertical space if one isn’t a minimalist... (Edited to add: I do realise that Garrett was speaking about Parisian STYLE, which wouldn’t quite be the same as actual-real-Parisian, bus as you said ”they” in your comment I thought you were referencing Parisians rather than people-wherever-they-live who chose tht style of kitchen.
