CREATING A MINIMALIST KITCHEN | clean, declutter and simplify

- Today I'm sharing a peek inside my modern and minimalist kitchen. I'm also sharing 8 tips to help you clean, declutter and simplify your kitchen. My kitchen is a blend of cozy minimalist, warm modern, Scandinavian and SoCal vibes.
For most people, the kitchen is also a congregating area for the home, so decluttering, organizing and tidying up this room will naturally make you feel more at ease, calm and relaxed. And I think you'll soon find the cleaning habits you implement in the kitchen will have a lovely way of spreading into the rest of your home. I hope you enjoy this little kitchen tour, my approach to interior design and my minimalism tips!

The one I have the hardest time with is doing the dishes immediately after cooking/eating. I get lazy once I've cooked and eaten. But it is so nice to wake up to a clean kitchen!
Agree! That's the hardest for me as well. But it feels so good when you do it, doesn't it? :) x
I live with an aunt, she has her rules... so it's a must-not for me lol
VeganMalory
SAME! 😩
I clean AS I'm cooking and by the time I'm done eating I have maybe a plate and a fork left. Sometimes a pot that I clean after storing the extra food I make.
Lauren Clack I was about to comment the same. Then I saw your comment. 🥰
I literally went and cleaned my kitchen right after watching this
That is awesome.
Hi guys! I hope you like this little peek inside my minimalist kitchen. And if you like these lifestyle videos or prefer recipe videos, let me know! I always want to create the content you want to see. I'm in the midst of designing my living room right now, so if you'd like to see a room tour of that when it's done, let me know that as well! xo - Lisa
Downshiftology loving the lifestyle videos!
@downshiftology also would like to see the room tour when it is complete
Yay! Thanks for the feedback Christy. That makes me so happy. :) x
Wonderful! Now fingers crossed I can finish designing/decorating soon. ;)
That's the fun part! Thanks for sharing xo
My kitchens is minimalist until my kids get home from school 😂
Until you can hopefully teach them to be clean and tidy as they get older 😂
Put the children in a drawer.
@@cartmann227 😂

Adults this is what we watch for entertainment
Yeaaahh agree😆
I know, it's sad ah
Lol lol pretty sad.
Yess🤣
Who needs Netflix, right? :)
That spice organizer...I'm in love.
That spice drawer is the dream! Subscribed at first sight because of that!
Welcome to the Downshiftology community 😊
Love your honesty and clarity❤️
Thanks so much Angel! :)
It helps to have a large kitchen. If I put everything she has on her countertops on mine, there'd be no room for kitchen prep.
😆 mine a galley kitchen so yeah. I have decluttering or no space for the stuff I really need.
@@thesupergreenjudy lol, this is not a "standard" American kitchen. Most kitchens here are small or tiny.
It’s difficult. There is quite a competitive kitchen gadget market out there and some great items can be found for cheap. Plus, yesterday’s hot, new item is often replaced by tomorrow’s hot new item, although you may still find it useful or even attractive so, you might just keep it around.
For a minimalist kitchen, like in many things minimalist, though, it helps to also have a decent amount of space so, you don’t have to rid yourself of all you’ve worked for. I can see in newer kitchens, they have help with a less cluttered look. They may have high ceilings and, if the cabinets extend all the way to the ceiling, there are more things that can be put out of sight, even if they’re difficult to reach.
Having a sizable pantry also helps.
I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and most of my kitchen space is floor space. So, other than “appearing” large, it isn’t actually. It is large enough to look large, but not large enough to stick an island in the center.
I have a medium sized pantry, when I compare it to most YT videos, but because I have nowhere else to store my household cleaning items, tools, power tools, paints, etc. I’ve rolled in a tall slim rolling pantry, in addition to the shelves that are in there and I stacked 2 CD/DVD organizers, which I cut to the height of the pantry, which holds all of my paints, cleaning, polishing, etc. products. This is in addition to the food items I store on the shelves, in prep for the zombie apocalypse.
I have a tiny galley kitchen and so little storage. Challenging.
@@thesupergreenjudy : haha. Rich peoples'. Most American kitchens a teensy.
Love this video. I'm a week into organizing my kitchen and we have very similar aesthetic. I want everything to look clutter free, functional, and beautiful all at the same time. Thank you so much for showing this and I also invested in a whole set of All-Clad pans and Le Creuset dutch oven and I'm soooooo glad. No more cheaply made kitchen items for me, quality overall in the end saves me more money. And yes, I also got myself those spice drawers lol it's beautiful.
WoW Lisa I’m so happy to see habits I follow explained in your Chanel. It’s like having a twin mind.
I had your minimalist kitchen program this afternoon, so that we could both hear it. Thank you. But, last night I had been all hooked up for a sleep test, and my husband got tea ready and cleaned up, started the dishwasher, for which I was very thankful. But as you started to talk about cleaning up straight after a meal, he was in the kitchen, and when I realised what he was doing, he was cleaning the frying pan, saucepan and the gritty stove he had left last night. Thank you. It saved me a job. Anne de Keijzer.
I love that you always share and link the products we see in your videos! Thanks for not minding that others copy your products and looks because they are truly gorgeous! ❤️❤️
Happy to help! :)
When everything has its place it’s easy to stay organized.
Finally Cozy Minimalist! That’s who I’m! Thank You!😍
Glad we're on the same page! 😊
Just minimalized my small galley kitchen this morning, what a difference! Now if only it would stay that way! I love the natural look with butcher block and stainless steel pots and pans and have had a few pottery crocks filled with wooden utensils for decades which looks great with a couple of plants. Also, just purchased one of those wooden European dish drying racks which looks better than a Rubbermaid one. That plus a splash of blue and red color and my original art work finishes the decorating. American country mixed with some French Parisian like my red dish towel and an antique looking milk jug that says "Paris" on them. Thanks for the inspiration, too!
I decided I want to a minimalist. I just gave so much “stuff” to homeless shelters.
I couldn’t believe how much “stuff”
I had kept over the years and I wasn’t even using it.
I had become depressed with my home! Now since I’ve gotten rid of all that “stuff” I no longer feel depressed with my home.
I then decided to try & find TH-cam videos on how to decorate my home in this manner.
Your video was the 1st one that I chose to watch and boy did I choose correctly!! Your video offered me my 1st steps to create a minimalistic home!!
I apologize for the longevity of my message. However, I became so impressed with your video that I had to much to tell you how you’ve inspired me in my goal of minimalism!!
I have liked your video and I have subscribed to your videos.😊
Thank you so much!!😊
I love your kitchen! It looks so fresh and clean!
Thank you!
I made it to the 22nd second. I’m doing better each time I try to watch one of these videos. Please wish me more success in my next viewing.
I love your style and your down-to-earth personality! 😊💖
You're so sweet! Thanks so much! ❤️
I agree! So relatable ! xCC
I dont even need to declutter but i watched anyways and im glade. I have like zero decor and i was inspired by this video. I might want to get a plant or something.
So helpful because I'll be doing a clean out/declutter of my kitchen this week after work.
I LOVE your minimalist style! I wish I could get my kitchen so clean and organized. I hope you do more videos like this - I would love to see the rest of your apartment.
Thanks Amanda and I appreciate the feedback! I'm definitely planning on showing the rest of my apartment...as soon as I finish decorating. Stay tuned. ;) x
Love your style, can't wait to see it!
❤️
You have my dream kitchen! I truly strive to be this organized in my kitchen. I’m so glad I found your channel! You’re absolutely amazing 💕
Aww, thanks so much! Glad you're enjoying my videos. :) x
Thanks so much for saying that you try your best. I tend to be hard on myself so I got to remember not to beat myself up when I don't stay on track. 🤗
Absolutely! We all have some days better than others, so doing our best is all we can (and should) strive for. Thanks Stacy! :) x
I am actually impressed 😱on how quickly you answered me, thanks for your time and for being so caring, I will share as I have already liked and subscribed...thanks!!😁👍
I do my best. :) Thanks so much!!
So glad to have stumbled onto this video. I needed some inspiration to declutter my kitchen and this has helped. I would love to see your living room when you're done. Thanks for all the tips!
Wonderful - happy it provided a little inspiration! And thanks for letting me know about the living room. :)
Its the fist time I find a minimalist on youtube who is not vegan
I believe minimalism is for everyone. :) x
frouto poto Ikr! It's sort of annoying. Imma probably sub
"The Minimalists" have a TH-cam channel where they upload their podcast episodes - they're not vegan but they like vegan restaurants and mention them sometimes. They're more about "why-to" than "how-to" approach minimalism, but I've found them really helpful!
frouto poto ελληνιδα;
ναι χαχαχαχαχ
Thank you so much! Time for some spring cleaning! 🌿
Your videos always put me at ease.
Thanks for the tips. I especially love the part you show putting purse and keys on counter then you show where you put them instead. If only I can get my husband to do that. I will be showing him this video! I do try to have decluttered counters. But I do have a lot of counter space. Thanks for sharing 👍
Helpful tips... Impressed that you choose to use stainless steel pots and pans vs the non stick ones which has become very popular in most of the kitchens.
You have a very pleasing personality.. God bless.
this was so helpful! after watching this video I'm ready to de-clutter and re-organize my storage spaces. thank you!
Glad it was helpful Kiana! Now's definitely the time to de-clutter and start new 😊
I add dish soap to my pots when I soak them. Having a dishwasher helps too.
Kathy B.
This lady is awesome... I've been struggling with decluttering...
Hopefully my tips will help. :)
Thank you for these videos! These are incredibly helpful right now that I am remodeling my house :)
🍃simply beautiful🍃
Thanks so much Karen! ❤️
Minimalism is beautiful to logical and practical people. Cheers.
Beautiful clean kitchen. And I love all of your decluttering tips.
Thank you - and I'm glad you found them helpful! ❤️
Simple is the best way to save my time , energy and just stay focus on my goals , productive , happy , heaven
Excellent words👍
Thank you for adding the realistic comment that not even your kitchen always camera ready! Love your content!
Oh, most definitely. ;) Thanks so much Erin!
I found your channel when I had some down time and watched every video back to back! Love it all. I've been trying to steer my family to better eating as my husband has UC and have learned much lately regarding pro-biotic foods etc. Your videos have really inspired me to delve a little further into using more healthy alternatives in cooking. I've already begun organizing my kitchen. Thank you so much and bring on more of everything, please:)
Thanks so much for your comment Trudi! And it's for that very reason that I love what I do! Kudos to you for steering your family to better eating - and remember that it's just lots of little steps that add up over time. :) x
I wish our kitchens were as big here in the UK! I find it so hard with a small kitchen but I love these tips! Wish I had a larder! X
I totally understand. But it's all about doing the best with what you've got. :) x
Thanks for your honesty but I think your kitchen is beautiful. Love your tips.
Thank you!
Minimalism has changed my life.☺️👍
i am obsessed with your kitchen and the whole design aesthetic of the apartment. i really hope to someday find myself as far as style and as a person in general. thank you for everything!
Thanks so much Sandor!
If only I had a full picture of your kitchen! I love it. In the process of constructing our family home and would love a kitchen like yours. #Downshiftology
I love your channel and videos. You bring me so much joy and motivation to cook and eat healthy. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! That's wonderful to hear!
I love all white walls and stuff for years. Who knew that there was a name for it. I am in the process of going back white. The painter was confused but it makes life simpler.
I love this so much! Very helpful and matches my taste with white and neutrals 💗
I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful! :)
Thanks for the INSPIRATION.
Great video and such a beautiful kitchen ! ❤️
Thanks for very much helpful advice.
Thank you, that was so helpful!
Happy you found it helpful Sandra! ❤️
Your blender has a screen saver! ❤️❤️😁
Beautiful kitchen for you all
I love how clean and crisp your space is! So beautiful!😍 definitely my style
Thanks so much Hani! ❤️
Downshiftology You're welcome 😊
I love cooking, hate washing dishes. When I tell you that washing those dishes right after dinner and waking up to a clean kitchen is the best feeling ever?? THE BEST. I used to wake up to a sink full of crap and it really just threw off the rest of my day. My mornings are so much more productive now that I'm not doing chores from the previous day.
I love your work. Que dios te siga bendiciendo. 🇩🇴
Just found your channel...I'm really obsessed with organising things.Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed the video Anna!
Thank you, great tips, your kitchen looks stress free and a nice uplifting space! 😄
Thanks Beverley! I really love the space as well. :)
Your videos soothe my anxiety and O.C.D!! Lol Thank u for sharing!
Thank you for this video. There were some helpful tips I will take with me to my new home this week. As for the negative comments, haters will always be. It’s a shame they don’t have more going on with their life…
Great tips!! Thank you😊👍🏾
That's awesome! Im thinking about that kinda clean kitchen, and you made it into real in a very good way. 😊👍
You are like yamamoto who was the pioneer of the mininimalism in the fashion industry in Paris 👏
Love your honesty.
I appreciate that!
Amazing tips love it. Lisa could you share with us how to organize properly the fridge? Mine is always messy! Thank you, big kiss from Portugal.
Thanks so much Liliana! I'm sure I'll have a fridge video in the future. :) Hugs to Portugal!
Great tips, Thank you!
New subscriber! Found you through your minimalist living room video. Love your videos and appropriate the work you take putting into these aesthetically pleasing videos! Aloha from Hawai'i !
Thanks so much! I'm glad you're enjoying them. :)
You are always very helpful on such a great ideas, and also very nice and realistic.❤️
Thanks so much Ari 😊
I my mini studio kitchen counter top i have electric kettle(standard for the uk), a toaster, a stack of my most common herbs and utensil pots with my 2 cutting boards against the wall behind it. I is a tiny kitchen but it work great for one.
Your kitchen is gorgeous, and I love your channel name! x
Thanks so much! It's not the easiest name to say, but the meaning behind it is what's important. ;) x
OMG I'm guilty with all these things you mentioned.
usually the kitchen is CLEAN as in immaculate clean. but ever since we got that family room renovated, oh my.... its just a mess everywhere. I work 2 jobs and its really hard to balance everything.
Finally found a channel that i enjoy..thanks for existing..addicted
Thanks so much Margaret! Happy to hear that!
You are my inspiration- ❤️
Thanks a lot for the video. I will clean and organize my kitchen tomorrow according to your suggestions.
Best of luck!
Just discovered you today and I am totally addicted!! I am a Designer from Pickering, Ontario Canada and this is exactly my design aesthetic. Contemporary and warm minimalism. I also enjoy a white backdrop colour in my home with pops of colour to give it some life. For my clients that enjoy colour on their walls, that is great and I specify tons of colours for them in their homes! Colour is a personal thing. For me, I like the simplicity and calmness after a hectic day with all the computer and cell phone stimulation. There is a reason that lots and lots of white is used at Spas. The tips you provided for creating a minimalist kitchen were very helpful. I agree that clearing out the clutter clears out the mind. People simply have too much STUFF!! Duplicates and triplicates of items that will never be used. It is surprising how much space you can gain in your home by simply clearing out all the unused items. I have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and have also learned the benefits of removing gluten etc from the diet in order to heal. Anyway, thank you for sharing your fabulous videos..... love your recipes they look absolutely amazing and will be trying them in the coming days. Cheers!
Thanks so much Deborah and I'm happy to hear that my design style resonates with you (though I'm sure you are far more the expert than me - ha!). It's funny because I always use that spa example as well to remind people that simple color palettes and uncluttered space can be calming and restorative. You'll definitely love a video I have going on my channel later this month which is a tour of my living room. It has more color than my kitchen with grey, camel and even a pop of blue...but in a subtle way. Can't wait to share it! And hope you enjoy my recipes as well! :) x
Very much looking forward to the tour of your living room. The colour palette sounds amazing! My design firm specializes in sustainability, Eco friendly design, products and lifestyle. Green living definitely includes creating an oasis in your living space. Yes simple colour palettes and uncluttered spaces are very calming and restorative to your health. I just read an article on becoming paperless, using apps like Evernote, one note etc. I am trying to incorporate less paper and less printing - unless absolutely necessary and keeping documents in an electronic format. Of course everything is backed up in the event of a computer crash. All my documents to clients are created in an online studio, where they can sign off on sourced items as well as documents and pay online. Having less paper supports the minimalist lifestyle for sure. Best of all less filing which is a HUGE bonus.
definitely very helpful. THANK YOU!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Thank you for this ,"I love the clean fresh look" 😊👌.
Thanks Elizabeth! I do as well. :)
practical, I like the white, touch of wood, great kitchen.
I am so glad to have found your videos
Welcome to the Downshiftology community 😊
Lovely filming and info. ✨
Thank you Caroline! ❤️
Awesome kitchen!
Thanks so much Sherry! ❤️
Really love your kitchen! Your taste and style too!
Thank you!
I'm really enjoying your channel and learning a lot of things I want to try (and I'm also reading your book this week)! Have you done a fridge tour yet? (Would be especially valuable if it was "midweek" to show how you store/organize leftovers and half-used ingredients, idea for using what you have left, etc.)
It's refreshing to imagine my kitchen more streamlined. My favorite was nesting pots and pans.
Yes, that's the best way to save space!
Downshiftology I stack my two fry pans & two crepe pans on an organizer rack against the back wall of the corner cupboard. They are too awkward for me to nest as they are De Buyer Mineral B Element - not quite as heavy as cast iron but not far off - so I have to use both hands to lift the large 26 cm fry pan out of the cupboard thanks to previously breaking both wrists*. The rack makes the pans more accessible and they don’t take up much room. However, the large pan does spend more time on the stove than in the cupboard. (* Very cold ice (-20C) is a very hard surface to fall on when skating and I did that on two separate occasions.)
found this video...now must binge watch the whole channel
Haha. Hope you enjoy all my recipes and videos Erin! x
Just discovered your channel and I am really loving it!
Thanks so much Gianna! Happy to hear it!
I like your pan scrubber
I keep minimizing. Over and over! Watching this is giving me more incentive to do it again in my kitchen. I like a minimalist hygge home - that is my ultimate goal.
Glad I can provide some inspiration for de-cluttering your kitchen 😊
I like everything great video to learn from
Thanks Muhammad! :)
Great tips, thank you
I like your kitchen is so clean and well organized I love that white flower so much 😀
Thanks Sammy! And the white flower is a hydrangea - one of my favorites! ❤️
That's great. Thank you.
your kitchen looks spotless! I always thought it reminds me about swedish style and it turns out it's true 👍
Thank you! It's not always spotless, but I do my best. ;) x
Your kitchen looks great Lisa!
Thanks so much Joli 😊
very neat and tidy😊
Thanks for sharing.. 🙏
I love your vids and your kitchen (and your recipes and you too!), but I wouldn't call your kitchen minimalist, because you do have a lot of stuff, between appliances, gadgets, etc. What it IS, though, is incredibly clean, well-organized, and neat. And of course from what I can tell you USE every single tool in your kitchen regularly, so you're certainly not overdoing it or hoarding stuff just to have stuff. In any case, your kitchen is absolutely to DIE for!!! 😃😃😃
I found your vid gaves me good vibe and inspired what I should do with my kitchen. A guy who just cooks but once it come to organize stuffs, I found it is hard..lol
Glad it gave you a little inspiration. :)
