A small lamp in the kitchen has always been a part of my life. My grandmother, my mother and I all add a small lamp on the counter. It's so homey and sweet.
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
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!
Drawers instead of lower cabinets is the best idea! They have more usable space and I don't have to upend to get to the back of them. I'm smiling at the sconces idea since I just put them in.
For our recent (probably only and final) house renovation, I decided to go with colors that I look good in based on my best/favorite wardrobe colors. No regard to trends at all. I love it.
I'll die on the "classic black and white" hill 😄 It is timesless. You can always add some wood accents for warmth and switch those out for color options down the line.
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 the random width oak floors were put in our kitchen I stenciled an intricate border of fruits around the room before the floors were stained and sealed. Stencils are not trending now but I still love it.
Just finished kitchen remodeling. I paid the extra $ for book end my quartzite countertops. Well worth it!! Also. No one seems to talk about quartzite counters. It’s an amazing natural stone. Has depth and beauty of marble. But is more durable than granite. Would love if you included in video
I so much wanted to put quartzite countertops in my kitchen. But I just flat do not have the money. Maybe someday if I win the lottery. maybe I better start playing the lottery, that might slightly increase my chance of winning.
Love a lamp on the kitchen counter. I have a small kitchen and I still made room for a small lamp on the counter! It adds so much warmth and coziness in the evening
So glad I did a slab backsplash 15 years ago. My kitchen in small yet extremely functional-and I love to cook so slab backsplash eliminated yet another design element. Love love love it.
We updated kitchen 7 years ago, it was a combination of neutrals, including ivory, tan, gray, espresso and a variety of hardware. Sound busy but isn’t. Greige walls. Still love it . And yes we started with the stone and worked around it.
Oh Garrett! I get a little nervous when you do these kind of videos (ugh, my over the stove microwave) However...yay! I have a lamp on my counter top AND sconces. Thanks for another great video. I enjoy the heck out of you!
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.
Hello 👋 I never followed a specific kitchen trend I knew what I liked and the must haves in my kitchen and I love it and so does my family. I love these kitchen videos.
Where I want to put a lamp in my kitchen area does not have an outlet. But I can now get a rechargeable lamp. In short I have a two story home built on a barge. I am having it towed to the city I live in now. Once that is all done, I will definitely be booking an appointment with you.
I Love Legrand designer light switch plates. I can’t believe high end kitchens don’t address the screw on light switch plates. 😱 For just a little more money, wifi light switches with beautiful switch plates really elevate kitchens and all other rooms. Love your content, Garrett. ❤
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 💛
Thanks for your wise insight 🤩. Following trends in kitchen design can be very risky. It’s not just something the majority of us can change every year or two. Your videos always make us smile 🌞
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 like this sconce idea in the kitchen. I’ve seen lamps in kitchens one in particular where it worked well, it was a very upscale apartment in Chicago and it was a very eclectic kitchen. It just worked. I don’t know why it just felt cozy but in general, I don’t think they do.
My kitchen has black countertops with white veining and a very light taupe cabinet and that little bit of warmth in the cabinetry made a huge difference in keeping the space from looking stark
My kitchen in Washington state was bright and cozy with rooster decor everywhere. I loved it. Here, it's so small and just functional, though I do try to add my touches.
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?
Thanks for sharing! Yes I consult on all the spaces of your home regarding interior decorating. I’d love to assist. Bookings can be made at intro.co/garrettlechic
I just redid my kitchen (95% done, just waiting for some glass etch work to be finished on some cabinet doors) and I had scones installed flanking the window above the sink. I added them thanks to a suggestion from a video of yours last year and I *** LOVE *** them. Thanks for the inspiration of a fabulous touch to my dream kitchen.
Finished the kitchen several months ago, so I always feel nervous going into these videos. I am happy to say I have avoided a major faux pas (at lease none that bother me). Looking forward to any ideas you have about low ceilings/basements if you think that topic would be popular.
Will you please correct me if I’m wrong my husband and I are arguing over this.. Don’t alot of people do their backsplash, the same as their countertops ?
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.
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 🤷🏼♀️
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.
@@GarrettLeChic It's totally fine, no need to apologize here 🤗 Also, I am planning on changing the countertop as soon as I have the money for it, coz I love those stone countertops and backsplashes, they're beautiful! ❤️
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. That is so dated. Excellent as always Garrett!! ☀️🌴🦩❤️😊🥰😍☺️❤️🥰❤️🥰
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.
Happy Sunday Garrett! I love, love, love, hardwood in the kitchen, and sconces if there’s room. However, I only like a slab backsplash if the stone is beautiful. If it isn’t, it’s an eyesore. Thanks 😊
I don't know, I had high gloss cabinetry and now I have matte and I found the glossy ones to be way easier to clean and you'd only seen fingerprints from certain angles. Matte always had dust stuck to it, fingerprints, oils, etc. I'm going back to European style glossy slabs. Just can't decide on countertop color.
Thanks for the comment about flooring transition. I have a dark Brazilian cherrywood floor in my living room and hallway. All the other floors are carpet of in the kitchen old linoleum, which I will be changing, Was in a quandary until you said it would be ok not to have a seamless floor if in another room. I wanted seamless flooring but can not afford to add, nor would it match, the cherrywood floor. Now to figure out what flooring would look good with that darn dark cherrywood.,
My kitchen is white and grey so I have a very neutral palette to do what i want to do. I have stainless steel appliances and sink and i’d like to change my cabinet pulls to gold but my husband doesn’t agree. what do y’all think?????
lamps on the Kitchen counter depend on the space you have and also is you have a speciifc style language you are following. That said, get ready to clean - a lot!
new here and thank you ! If you love pure white kitchen cabintry does warmer slabs of quart/marble work with that? Not a busy slab ... a slab with more neutral colors and pure white cabinets? ty
Hello! Welcome to the channel. I appreciate you supporting us. As you know this field is very visual and every situation is different. I’m glad to share my opinions, but in order to give intelligent opinions, I’d need to see the kitchen including the flooring, cabinets, backsplash, and samples or good pictures of the slabs being considered. I welcome you to book a virtual consultation with me at intro.co/garrettlechic The available times you see are already in your time zone.😊😊😊
Garrett question... can you see placing washable contact paper over a backsplash? My motif is white french farmhouse but I am bored with my white subway tile. Also, what is not white is either blue or brown here in the country. Thanks doll!
I am also very glad that gray is going out of style. Of course having said that, I painted the inside of my house with all kinds of bright, vibrant colors. And the outside is gray and white. Oh well. At least I don’t have gray floors. I don’t know one single person who put in gray floors that actually likes them now.
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.
I definitely understand. A design style has to be functional for your needs. Not every style fits all lifestyles. That’s why I make many videos that address different budgets, options and styles.
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. If I misunderstood, sorry!)
Don’t come for my black and white kitchen 😭😭😭 but my fridge is hidden I have arch and small bold colorful elements and a huge ass window so trying to save my black and white from sterile and boring
I have not been out here for a hot second.... miss you. I have to tell you... not loving the slab backsplash anymore.... have seen some friends go kinda wrong.... it looks... sterile. I even sing to them (my "friends") Let me take you up to the lab... and let's see what's on the slab.... And they look at me with AnticPation..... Yeah... you are probably waay to young. #rockyhorror

Agreed! Classic and timeless is my preference.
I love a lamp on a counter as long as you have enough counter space.
Very true! The counter space has to be available.
It's such a special touch. Love it.
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 love small lamps in niches in my kitchen. Warms the space beautifully.
Yes to a slab blacksplash!
Drawers instead of lower cabinets is the best idea! They have more usable space and I don't have to upend to get to the back of them.
I'm smiling at the sconces idea since I just put them in.
For our recent (probably only and final) house renovation, I decided to go with colors that I look good in based on my best/favorite wardrobe colors. No regard to trends at all. I love it.
I love solid surface backsplash 💕
Me too!
“Tired of the visual assault!” Perfect😂🤓
Also I love a lamp in the kitchen
I love it!
I'll die on the "classic black and white" hill 😄 It is timesless. You can always add some wood accents for warmth and switch those out for color options down the line.

I've had oak flooring seamlessly in all rooms except bathrooms and absolutely loved it. Will definitely do it again
Sounds awesome!
Currently saving for a new kitchen and first floor flooring. I already know I'm doing white oak flooring throughout.

I have two in the kitchen and one has a cream colored shade. As long as they are not near where you’re cooking you are golden.

@@GarrettLeChic ok

At least I don’t have gray floors. I don’t know one single person who put in gray floors that actually likes them now.
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.
I definitely understand. A design style has to be functional for your needs. Not every style fits all lifestyles. That’s why I make many videos that address different budgets, options and styles.
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. If I misunderstood, sorry!)
Don’t come for my black and white kitchen 😭😭😭 but my fridge is hidden I have arch and small bold colorful elements and a huge ass window so trying to save my black and white from sterile and boring
Also it’s matte! With flat cabinets

Yes it rules. First 60 minutes are critical for views after a video is posted.
I have not been out here for a hot second.... miss you. I have to tell you... not loving the slab backsplash anymore.... have seen some friends go kinda wrong.... it looks... sterile. I even sing to them (my "friends") Let me take you up to the lab... and let's see what's on the slab.... And they look at me with AnticPation..... Yeah... you are probably waay to young. #rockyhorror
