I agree, anything on open shelves means more to keep clean. I love the idea of just drawers in a kitchen and the dining area so it's out of sight, easier to access, stays clean in the long run.

You’re so right the problem with decorating with glassware and plates is always the same. It gets dusty dirty, the cooking oils form a sticky film. And then it ALL needs to be cleaned. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

We redid our kitchen 12 years ago. Open concept to rest of living space. We intentionally used closed storage, but installed a larger window to not feel closed in with upper cabinets. In-cabinet garbage. Small appliance garage for coffee pot, toaster, juicer. Special slots in drawers for knives. I have plants and salt and pepper shakers on cabinets. AND (not in your ideas) one very special decorative plate from Blackberry Farm that we obtained from our 25th anniversary. It is our artwork in the room. Also, the baskets and bins are wonderful in an enclosed pantry and cabinetry for organization. Labeled.☺

Totally agree on hiding the trash can & recycling bin! Game changer! I Wish I had more drawer space, limited on that, so I do have the stoneware crock out with wooden utensils! My pantry is a life saver for storing countertop appliances! I only bring them out when I am using them, they immediately go back in the pantry after use. Great tips Valentina!❤

I have friends who use the top of their refrigerator for food storage, boxes of cereals, cookies, chips, boxes of rice, ugh, drives me crazy, I always have to look away. I compromised and bought an IKEA cabinet with glass doors, and keep my baking items in there in glass containers. I don’t leave anything out either, expect maybe fruit.

Beautiful advice Valentina! About to move and setup my new kitchen! I added a few open shelves in the corner because it was just too much cabinetry. However, I agree with your glassware tip on shelves… can’t stand it. I will prob go the route of plants and art and some books and a few canisters.. but this video def gave my brain food for thought! I love functional decorating and I have tons of plants.. and they are def gonna liven up my kitchen like yours are!!

I appreciate all the advice you give, but know that some people like open storage because that is how they organize. The minimal decor works for me but my husband will not pull out the toaster if he has to look for it. I have my kitchen aid stand mixer out but I don’t use it on a regular basis. It was his idea and I want to put it away. Everyone has to decorate to their aesthetic and style.

I hate clutter and open shelves of any kind. Especially in a kitchen No No NO! But, I would add closed cabinets wherever possible unless I had a huge pantry/butler's pantry that had extra plugs for small appliances. And, again closed cabinets with all the kitchen stuff can be neatly organized. Ah, my dream!!! I loved your wit and wisdom in this one especially!

When we redid our kitchen I also had in counter soap dispensers (is that the correct term?) that match my faucet put in and I feel like it really keeps the area feeling less cluttered too. I love your channel, you radiate joy and life and I always have something new to take away from your videos.

Your kitchen aesthetic, elevated by art, is elegant, Valentina, with clean lines on a canvas of negative space. As for your kitchen design, I continue to like the wall units opposite the "U" on the window wall 4 years later. Our remodel design encompasses all 5 of your suggested 🚫areas. Elements include portable induction cooktops replacing a stove, drawers in base cabinets, wall oven, wall cabinets & 2 pullout pantries. At one point the refrigerator was also put in our 🧺 room/pantry, but now the Counter-Depth with showcase right French Door is in the kitchen, instead of refrigerated drawers in one of the base cabinets. Timely video, with HoV signature style.l

Jack next time paint the package black and white and pop a Greek key sticker on it and you’ll be right! Love all the plants and art in the kitchen, it’s gorgeous. No to open shelves and yes to hiding bins. Microwave has to be at bench height as I use it every day. Love drawers over cupboards. No to drawers inside of drawers or inside cupboards. I find if one thing is left on the bench by morning it’ll have multiplied to dozens.

*The Un-Cluttered Kitchen* . I have an oversized galley style kitchen with a tiny prep island in the center of a six foot wide space. It is "THE MOST" functional kitchen I have had in my 57 years. I have my coffee "station" on a tray, all other small appliances are stashed away. I do a small vignette next to the fridge to hide the exposed ugly and one on the opposite corner which isn't "work" space. I decant my dish and hand soap in amber glass. I do have a small shelf above the cooktop for daily cooking essentials and I do like having a magnetic knife rail. Visual clutter is a deal breaker for me, physical clutter is a dumpster fire.

Sold our home and moved back into our 1/16th size loft...I cook EVERY Meal. Egads, we have no drawers. When I lived here before it wasn't an issue. Put it within reach on the counter. What is the difference? I have since been "House of Valentina-ized" 🖤 What does that mean exactly? PRETTY I want pretty! Trying to find things that can sit out (I NEED THAT MARBLE S & P set you have there!) and things that can be decanted, but some just "decan't be!" 😂 Solution, TOSS EM!

I have all open shelving with only 2 upper seeded glass front cabinets. I display the beautiful dishware and glassware that I have collected over the years on the shelves, along with pottery, platters etc. It is done in an organized way and I love looking at my collections. Yes, it gets dusty on the upper shelves that I can't reach all the time but, I climb up there and dust it! My most beautiful things are behind the seeded glass cabinets and they look so pretty slightly obscured behind the glass. My countertops are pretty minimal, no appliances or utensils out, just a few nice plants so, that keeps things calm. One thing though, I could never cook with a big pot and plant next to my stove! Is that a faux plant? If not, how does it handle being next to a hot stove? And, do you mind if I ask, what is your countertop material? Your counters look so crisp and clean!

I've learned I'm not an open-kitchen-treat-it-like-a-regular-room kind of gal. I don't want to have my kitchen on view from the dining or living areas. We have lots of cooks (and cereal pourers) in our kitchen, and there's no way everyone would be on board with cleaning as we go. Cleaning then becomes my job, or else a nag. I don't need people in the kitchen when cooking is happening, either. We need to be able to quickly dump dirties in here when we have a small crowd over, and close the door until everyone leaves. I'd feel like I'd constantly be needing to excuse myself to clean clean clean. Also, an open kitchen invites the "need" to decorate it, and maintain some level of current styling. A closed kitchen makes the out of style but incredibly durable granite countertops a good choice for decades. And let's marble get etched, stained, and patina-ed with no one to judge. Clean and tidy--as far as I, the only person who cares--ok. But I want to be able to close my kitchen from view!

LOL, one of many reasons I got divorced. haha. Every single time I went in to cook, I had to freaking clean the kitchen first because he'd go in and make a snack and make a mess and dishes in the sink (with the dishwasher RIGHT THERE) and I was just over it. Now my house is always clean with minimal effort, I sleep peacefully with no snoring nearby, and I can decorate however I want. Honestly it's the way to go. haha (Keep Jack though, he's a keeper, unlike most). I'm with you though, gotta put things in cabinets instead of out. I hate looking at the clutter and it's always in my way.

It has to be clean. All the homey touches are cute, but dust and bacteria have no place in the room where food is prepared. You have found a nice balance.

I agree with everything you have done 👍. Mine is still under construction because I do most of the work myself.

I have a very minimal amount of items on my bench top. Including no utensils or species on my benchtop. Making it easier to clean.l also have my bin tucked away, too.😊

I agree with you on everything! And I almost got it all right myself lol, yay! Except the garbage can and the art. I even put my dish soap and sponge and spray bottle in cabinet after each use, so much nicer not seeing it all, it's not a big deal to grab it once a day and put it back. And I also make sure whatever left out is pretty, like marble salt pepper Sellars and a small lamp. I have a very small kitchen, so I find it very refreshing when nothing is out, it makes it feel more manageable and bigger to be honest

I agree with everything ❤ LOVE ❤ the big artwork behind you. We cook every day, but I have to clear counters, MAKE ME HAPPY. I have the same coffee maker. I buy Peets nespresso #11 pods.🎉

I've always had pull out garbage bins. Re did a kitchen in 2008, did a double pull out garbage bin with recycling. Built a home in Florida with 2 separate double pull out garbage bins with recycling. It frees up space on the floor.

Your kitchen looks beautiful. I would be inspired to cook there as well. I agree, no clutter. I do have a question. I have an electric cooktop. Above it, there is a space cutout where we have an upper cabinet. What can I put in this space. I would have done a fake hood for beauty since my cooktop had downdraft, but we have beautiful upper glass front cabinets that I recently added on top of my existing short cabinets. Really looks good and is a focal point in the kitchen. What do you suggest?

I gave up a whole lower cabinet to install a slide out drawer for a garage bin and a recycle bin and it was one of the best things I did in my kitchen remodel. It’s right next to the sink.

Great video! What do you suggest for storing the following things: bread, bananas, avocados and oranges? As of now, I have them stored on my counter, which isn't my preference.

I LOVE this video! I agree with you on keeping it pretty and simple. I’d rather move my pretty things when I cook for space, then put them back when I’m done😂 Worth it to walk in and see only my beautiful kitchen!

I have never seen the trashcans sitting out, we Scandis like a tidy look, the refridgerators, dishwashers, everything are built into the cabinets. 🙂 I have cookbooks on a shelf on the wall, and the smeg toaster is on display, as I use it every morning.

Love your comment! It’s true! Our heritage is all from Finland and most people I grew up around in the the states were also Finnish and we are a very tidy people.
