HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE! If you're working on a kitchen renovation or want to update your existing kitchen in any way I hope this gives you some design ideas you can implement into your space! 🏡♥ Enjoy!!
Love you ❤
Get rid of everything that’s laying on the countertop in your kitchen too much cluttered not needed that’s why you have drawers or cabinets it just looks messy and unclean
Those round bulbs were in style back in the 70s so ugly remind me of my mom’s house growing up
Hello I am a subscriber from Kerela -India Can you plese show your whole House 🏠 please Like a home tour please.From Haritha
lovely ideas….please incorporate less expensive options so some of these images for lower budget can have some of the wonderful design images and design. You’ve shown us true beauty, but some artsy people love and need to the simplify, as will as enjoy these opulent designs. Loved your presentation!!! and thank you immensely, and thank you for the products list. SO helpful for sure🌷
@@harithasankar2505.o
Great tips! HOWEVER, I wish you’d have tips for small spaces too. For example, you can’t hide your appliances if you have a small kitchen with few cabinets.
I have a very small kitchen in a rental apartment. I love to have some appliances on display, like my coffeemachine, I made a cozy coffeecorner on an Ikea Ivar closet. You can invest in, or safe for, nice looking appliances that also can elevate your kitchen. Just try not to have unnecessary clutter on your countertop. And even in my small kitchen, I have art. It's all about balance. Choose your objects carefully.
I was just about to comment that these are great tips for everyone who has million dollar homes
@@gradyvandenbosch5772I would love to see your kitchen.😊 Plz😊
Normal sized kitchens in other words. 10’ by 9’ . We dont all have these massive rooms.
Totally agree. Need tips for smaller, realistic kitchens. 😊 Most people watching these videos don't have kitchens like these. Those people have their own designers
Step 1. Have an expensive kitchen
😂
Genau, deshalb bin ich beim zweiten Läufer schon raus☹
😂
😂😂
Same!💁🏽♀️
A kitchen like that you describe is expensive so It Will look expensive because it is in fact expensive.
😆
Highlights:
0:23 Use long runners instead of small rugs.
1:27 Upgrade the countertop essentials like spoon rest, soap dispensers and countertop appliances.
3:02 Choose a honed finish for countertop.
3:53 Have three types of lighting: integrated, task and mood lighting.
5:24 Have two types of cabinets: long cabinets that go from backsplash to ceiling, and countertop cabinets that act as an appliance garage.
7:30 Backsplash: get a slab backsplash
8:51 Bring in decorative details into the kitchen
9:46 You can go for bold design elements in the kitchen to make a statement.
You the goat. 🫰🏻
Thank you
Thank you!
Thnks
How do u make a runner comfortable to stand on for a long period of time 🤔🤔
All these kitchens shown here had fantastic vent hoods. That is another "KEY" element.
FYI The mats in front of stove and sink are for foot fatigue. That’s why people buy these. They make a difference for foot pain. I’d love to have something that looks better but they won’t handle the issues most people have with hardwood or tile floors.
Exactly! We have tile floors, hard on back and feet. Mats are for standing while doing dishes or cooking. Runner isn’t helpful.
a good thick house shoe works wonders for me in foot fatigue
I recommend the runners and getting good house shoes. I have adidas slippers that are sooo cushiony - you can prevent foot fatigue all the time. Game changer! Of course you can get something more fashionable than my sporty looking ones. I personally don’t have runners but I think they look nicer than two mats also. Regardless - try having good house shoes- your feet and back will thank you
They're ugly
OMG LOVE LOVE LOVE all the tips here!!! Gorgeous kitchen pics for inspo too! Thank you Kristen!
Thank you for this video. I will be renovating my kitchen this winter however, I disagree with the paneled dishwasher. I work for an appliance company and the panels are heavy and may cause the doors to fall, damaging the hinges. Not to mention the humidity from the dishwasher damaging the panel. I have seen it. Just some helpful information to consider. Work with your designer and cabinet maker if you are using one. Love the paneled fridge tho'.
yep, a lot of times what's "popular" on all the shows and trending in society isn't even functional, sadly.
My kitchen has a slab backsplash and I love it. It's so beautiful and so easy to keep clean because, unlike tile backsplashes, I don't have to worry about the grout lines.
I have a slab backsplash, too. Mine is quartz. I was originally going to use tile but it was actually cheaper just to continue the countertop up for the backsplash.
@@mavisjones4750oohh, this is good to know!
If you're looking to give your kitchen a glamorous makeover without the hefty price tag, this video is a must-watch. Everything is creative and achievable and my kitchen now exudes an expensive aesthetic I never thought possible.
This video is like a cheat code for stylish kitchen makeovers. The design hacks are genius, and I appreciate how they keep it simple and affordable. Now I've got a bunch of ideas to turn my basic kitchen into something straight out of a magazine!
The runner and lamp in the kitchen is an American vibe. Don't see it in Australia.
I imagine a runner in the kitchen will always be stained and a tripping hazard.
Bold coloured kitchens are great in designer magazines which doesn't translate in a modest space. It would make a smaller kitchen too hectic.
The simple tricks and design hacks made my kitchen feel like a million bucks without spending a fortune. I'm amazed at how a few changes can make such a big difference.
My kitchen is really small in my townhouse. I really still like to watch to get the most bang out of it!
I love the idea of the runner and appliance garage..perfect!
Love how you point out the small details that actually finish the mood of room. Thank you.
had to smile at the photo of the gorgeous copper Kitchen Aid on the upper shelf above the stove, have you ever tried lifting those ?
I thought the same thing!
Dangerous!
They made those for people who can bench press 200lbs!! 😂
You have the best decorating videos! These are my favorite ones, the ones with general decorating tips. They're very helpful.
So funny! I got dish soap in a foaming type and couldn’t off pour it into my decorative dispenser-so I pulled off the label!
Hi Debblouin🌹🌹
How are you doing..?
These are great tips for ANY kitchen! Thank you!!
I can’t wait to buy my first home soon. My kitchen will be a work of art for sure. 👌🏾♥️
Buying in times of high interest rates is idiotic. Good way to waste a lot of money.
@lucybraun8969 This is what you do with your life, telling strangers how they should spend their money? You don't even know where she lives...
@@grayowl167 It's irrelevant where she lives. The prime interest rate is country-wide. Shows how little you know about home ownership.
@@lucybraun8969wow! You sure are a very rude person, yikes!
@@lucybraun8969not everyone buys on mortgage
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Thank you! This video is incredibly helpful. I want timeless, but still that WOW FACTOR! I now (finally after a year of searching ideas) know exactly what I want my kitchen renovation to look like.
Great vlog as always Kristen. We renovated our kitchen in n 2018. Did a lot of the things you have suggested. Went for slab backsplash. So practical and easy to maintain. Handless kitchen and a matt porcelain worktop which doesn’t show any marks and is really contemporary in a thin profile. You call it panel ready but in the UK we call
It integrated appliances. These look
So much better and give that sleek minimal look. We mixed 3 different units for upper , lower and island and they really compliment each other and make the space look more interesting.
The lighting tip is gold!
Thank you, Kristen. Those kitchen look amazing.
"Kristen, your tips for creating a luxurious kitchen on a budget are a game-changer! I especially loved your ideas for decor hacks and lighting. Can't wait to try them out in my own kitchen renovation. Thanks for sharing these invaluable design insights!"
I love the fatigue mats! Maybe I'll just put the runners over them! I do allot of cooking and baking.
Absolutely loved this video!! Thank you, Kristen! I look forward to your videos. Have a great week!!
10:18 The biggest problem with choosing bold finishes and colors is the cost of replacing them once the love affair with them dies. I love a soft sage green, for instance, and I absolutely LOVED the vid you made where you redesigned your family room with this gorgeous green paint. But, if I were to choose the color for the kitchen cabinets and one day get tired of the color, the work or cost involved with repainting or changing them would be astronomical.
Not painting, yes replacing
I love sage green too, I painted my cabinets October Mist by BM, and the love affair is still not over
Painting cabinets is VERY expensive when done the right way. I know, we painted ours a few years ago. I picked a timeless off white that worked with our granite counters and tile backsplash.
I'm 40 and have loved the same kitchen for 20 years. It wasn't on trend then but it is now, with lots in common with some shots in this video. I would have had to change it every 5 years had I compromised on colour and design.
The concept of having a runner and appliance garage is absolutely wonderful, I adore it!
Wow, those were million dollar kitchens…… I will get up right now after eating my lunch and give it a try. I am not rich but I sure do love cleaning and decorating……..🌺🌼
I love many of your suggestions. I am trying to redecorate my rental kitchen, so I will have to spend wisely
Also I love the ideas that you have shared so far. Thank you!
I am working on a kitchen renovation. Thank you for the tips.
I enjoyed this video so much. I started renovating my kitchen (along with my entire home) in Feb. I got beautiful new countertops which I selected from a granite warehouse. My fabricator suggested the slab splash and it is beautiful. I also bought all new appliances and made sure I bought a stove with the knows above the oven so that my slab splash gets all of the attention. Today, I got an estimate for refacing my cabinets and I requested extending them to the top of the ceiling.
I love the runner and functional items on the counter. I didn't know if I wanted other items on the counters but you have shown me how to make it so appealing. Thanks!
Kristen I love your videos!!! Could you please make one for a small office? My coworkers often ask me for helping decorating and organizing and I would love some new ideas from you! Your videos always come with wonderful new ideas.
Thanks for the tip on the honed countertop!
This video was exactly what I needed to spruce up my kitchen! The presenter explained everything so clearly, and the ideas were really creative. I can't wait to try out these tricks and give my kitchen a high-end makeover.
I used 12x24 (inch) luxury vinyl flooring material as kitchen backsplash. They are super easy to cut, install, and clean. There are many pattern and color options to choose from to match your countertop or cabinets.
Oooooh, that's so smart!
Us too, we have a neutral colored "wood-like" vinyl backsplash and I'll tell you, it's the best thing, doesn't show stains, super easy to clean and install (we did it ourselves)
Great tips, I agree with you about the honed finish when in comes to island .
Love the long floor runner idea, it really does look more high end than a mish mash of little mats! Great tips! 👍
True, about to jump on this one!
I’m looking for the suggestions for washable kitchen runners. 11:05
@@lindaegan2296 i recently bought a long runner for my kitchen. Search 'outdoor rugs' and you will find lots of them.
@@lindaegan2296did you get a chance to look at her suggestions in the description ?
I don’t have any “aisles” in my kitchen, it’s just a box with an angled peninsula which houses my sink and dishwasher, so I need a different solution.
Great tips. For those of us on a budget Drew Barrymore home collection at Walmart has beautiful affordable appliances that look great and elegant.
I always love your designs and ideas. ❤
Did i mention I love Love LOVE your excellent tips and ideas! my kitchen isn't that big but your video helps my thought proces. A LOT !
I look forward to your videos every Sunday!
I can't wait to try out these tricks to give my kitchen a luxe makeover on a budget.
Very helpful video!! Love a bright/clean kitchen.. tfs!!!
Great tips, especially the slab backsplash
I am renovating 2 kitchens: in my primary home and in a family lake cabin. This video was so timely for me. I am in the planning process for the primary home kitchen right now, so you’ve given me lots to think about. I appreciate how you’ve covered, not just the large expensive items, but also showed ways to upgrade the kitchen without spending a lot of money. I would also love to see a video on various kitchen storage/organization options as well.
Very usefull advices. Thank you, Kristen!
I love my appliance garage, I’ve never heard it called that before, it’s just a space on my kitchen counter tops with a pull down roller door that keeps my jug, toaster and coffee, tea and sugar, everything I need to make my morning coffee. Loved your ideas. ❤️❤️
Yes! We're building a new house. Love these ideas.
Thank you so much! This video has helped me so much with planning out my kitchen.
I just love this channel. Alot of good info. Thank you
You really have great ID style. Very classy suggestions!! Thank you.❤
I am remodeling my kitchen which has 10 ft high ceilings. I am having a library ladder installed because the cabinets will be at ceiling height and give much needed storage. Love, love this video.
Wonderful tips!
Thank you ❤️
Another awesome video!! Thank you!! 😍
hello!! you always have such great advice!!!! i loves watching your videos
Great reminders!!
Loving this video. Great stuff!
Thank you 🙏
So thankful for your video this Sunday !
Thank you so much for watching!!
Thank you for your ideas!🎉
Fantastic and affordable tips - thank you for sharing your expertise with us!
I appreciate your tips on kitchen renovations. We are in the process of getting estimates for our kitchen remodel and will definitely use your tips!
Yes. I’m working on a kitchen right now. I find that it’s a bit overwhelming. We talked about design yesterday. Today was lighting. Now both are getting bumped to be completed. I don’t want the kitchen to look like a mess, so I’m not sure on all these decisions. I feel like I have to figure it all out by myself. 😮 You’re very sweet for making such informative videos. ❤
Lately I've been eliminating everything on my counters that I can.
Also, the runner can really pull the room together.
you have great ideas!!! you are very talented!!!! i’m renovating on a very tight budget and have 4 bedrooms , 2 baths, dining room, kitchen and living room and 2 hallways!!! every single thing has to be redone!!!! omg!!!!
Love your style!
Great tips! These are different than most people share. Love your videos!
Wow! Thank you!!
Love your ideas so pretty
TY TY TY!!!!
I'm getting my flooring done, removing tile and that dingy grout 😮. Now I have to chose the cabinetry and backsplash. Your tips have helped me sooo much. I'm leaning towards black cabinets, black island. The floor will be a light blondish color. The marble island top and matching backsplash idea is my favorite. Oh the choices!!
Oh no😢
Love all the ideas
Wonderful ideas, thank you!
Omg yay!? I did every single tip on this list already!!
So excited to watch one of my favorite TH-camrs ❤❤
THANK YOU FOR SHARING
Very creative ideas... thank you
Such great ideas!
Great tips - thank you.
I personally, don't like back splashes of any kind. I usually "decorate" that wall area with art and rattan style hot pads and small bread baskets, sometimes I change out the baskets for a lovely piece of art. However, I did find your video helpful, I especially agree that, upper cabinets must go all the way up to the ceiling, if the budget allows.
Such great ideas thank you 💚💜
All great design ideas.😊
Agree on everything but the Slab splash. Classy tile or possibly a metal.
Great ideas!
Thx for sharing 😊
Wonderful video!❤
Great tips!!
Love ur vlog s ❤
I'm surprised you didn't mention changing cabinet pulls. I recently changed mine and was shocked at the difference it made in modernizing my kitchen! I was equally shocked at how little it cost to make the change. :)
Same here. It's literally the first change I made as I was moving in.
Great tips thank you
Excellent advice
Love the mood lighting in the kitchen. It’s cozy for the kids to use the space at night. My odd husband hates it and constantly turns off the corner lamp. Hopefully He’s gonna go and I’ll keep the lamp. 😊
Thanks for sharing
Very helpful and interesting love it❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
Beautiful pictures!!😍😍
Thanks good tips! I’m in the process of getting my kitchen renovated on a budget but I’m excited! Since I am on a budget these tips are helpful for me. What you recommend for countertops or type of flooring when on a budget? Laminate/quartz, tile or vinyl floor??
