It is as long as the however the door opens means using the sink is still easy. When washing up you are likely to keep the door open so having one you’re likely to hit your head on would be annoying.
@@TessaOswin The cupboard above my sink is perfectly positioned for me to put my iPad on the bottom shelf so I can watch things while I wash up :D The door opens so it’s flush to the wall, so it’s (mostly) safe from me hitting my head! Though I have just realised that if I copy this draining cupboard idea in my own kitchen, I’ll lose the iPad shelf, which would be a tragedy… maybe I’ll keep my iPad shelf, and convert the next door cupboard above the draining board into my drying cupboard 😀
Yes! Totally agree! They have it on ikea in some countries. I'm from Sweden and here we don't have it. I am just now getting a new ikea kitchen and I found it on Amazon, for 4x the price but still worth it. Originally it's meant to have that shelf bottomless, so that water can drop down in the sink. I decided to not make it that way, cause that would prevent me from having spotlights integrated underneath. I thought it was important to be able to have lights under the top shelves, especially over the sink to get light when doing dishes. There is something to put in the cupboard to collect the water dropping, so I'm hoping that will be enough to prevent the cupboard from getting water damage. How did you do it.? Did you also keep the bottom of it?
@@liahk1000 You don't need to remove the whole bottom of the cabinet. I hate the IKEA drying racks because they butchered our invention. In our 50's Finnish apartment our cubboard is half cut out from just the middle to accomodate a V-shaped first drying layer (shaped for plates ect). To mention: our cabinets are on the longer side (sideways) and thinner in depth than some newer cabinets might me. They are original vintage cabinates and are worth way more than new ones in the long run. My grandma used to have the same cabinet style and she had a long spotlight under the cabinet. It fit there just fine. I find the modern styled drying cabinet solutions to be utter garbage. Just take the whole cubboard innards down, put some wooden blocks to where you want your layers. Then make the actual rack yourself or have one made custom (very very easy make) and have it dipped in rubber. This is so the metal wire/rod won't scratch the plates while you still have a little bend. If you get the bottom layer to have a V-shape then cut out a cabinet bottom in a way that the V can still peek out about 3cm. This way you can hang cleaning brushes to the rack. Second layer is usually just straight for cups and whatnot. We have a third layer made from wood that just holds some crapand random things used for baking and painting (I use water activated paints). Spotlights can then be installed in the space left behing the V-cutout. Don't go and buy retractable versions of these racks. Never do it! If that breaks it's way harder to fix. With our version it's pretty much foolproof and fixing would be very very easy (basically just soldering it back up if it breaks in half).
I love every single thing in this kitchen design. The marble backsplash, the tight and precise wall of appliances from the sink to the dishwasher to the clothes washer. Also integrating the pillar into the design is perfect. The island is exactly what I would want in my dream kitchen, not to gush over-dramatically.
Yes I agree!! I'm just doing a new kitchen for the first time with no previous experience at all, and wow it takes so much time to think through everything! To get it right both from an esthetic perspective and functional! That's definitely not easy! I have so much respect for you architects who are able to find smart solutions etc! It's so helpful to have a well functional kitchen 😊
It’s a shame IKEA don’t care about their customers. They could be a really amazing company, but we had a kitchen fitted nearly 2 years ago now and they made such a terrible mess of it, drilled through a water pipe in our wall leaving us without heating in winter, then ignored emails and wouldn’t sort our complaint out. We had to pay out of our own pocket to do the plumbing even though IKEA were supposed to sort that. 2 years later it’s still not solved. We had units missing handles and they were just totally incompetent. We have continuously been trying to sort this out and IKEA are proving no help whatsoever. There’s no contact number or way to communicate with IKEA and comments arw turned off on nearly all their social media channels which suggests to me that there are many customers in a similar situation to us. As an IKEA specialist I would be really grateful if you could tell me the bast route to get this solved.
Absolutely stunning and functional, even love the way you integrated the vent hood over the induction range top .. just brilliantly done .. so often I see architects design bananas bonkers bs redos that the owner might like but will actually detract from resale value bc it’s just toooooo specific to the owner and not future potential buyers .. this is not only functional and beautiful but any other future buyer would love Love LOVE this! Just amazing all around
I really love the concept of having those sort of “build in” fridge, freezer and dishwasher making it looks so neat and and tidy. Wish I could have those in my future home too
THIS IS GIVING ME SO MANY IDEAS!! i can't really modify my kitchen bc it's an apartment BUT the bf and i are planning our first house build and i'm always looking for new inspiration. this is brilliant, thank you for sharing!
I really love the kitchen, well done!! Now, what we want is a video where you organize the drawers and cabinets with stuff like hanging the mugs or organizing the pan's lids etc... you can find cool items at ikea for all of that! Looking forward to this video...
You have done such a beautiful job on that kitchen - all clean lines, it must be such a soothing space to be in. *looks around her own chaotic kitchen and sighs*
I have an Ikea kitchen almost exactly the same as yours! First kitchen I ever designed on the ikea kitchen planner. I felt like an architect which is what I always wanted to be when I was younger😊
You’re the only person on TH-cam whose video I pause mid watching to like and then go back to watching. Everything is incredibly beautiful, Daniel. Bravo! P.s i always appreciate the subtle jokes and your light sense of humour. ♥️
Great work. It's beautiful, very minimalistic and yet fully functional! It's well planned and designed down to the smallest details. The only thing I would add is a bit of color like a smal plant, something that adds a visual interest
I like very much the design of the extractor fan/cooker hood. All over Scandanavia and especially here in Finland, the drying rack cupboard is standard, especially in the larger cities where space saving is necessary due to properties being smaller. This is the first time I see the drainage rack outside this part of the world. 😊
This kitchen is simple and functional, just the way it's meant to be. Great video, great work, keep it up, man, I'm a Civil Engineer, and you're a big source of inspiration, thanks a lot!
Fantastic work! So many little storage tricks adding up to make a great finished product. Especially love the cutlery storage contained within the larger drawer!
"the junk minimalists pretend not to keep" -- I literally LOL-ed at that phrase But honestly, thanks for letting us see the actual mismatched content of your cupboards!
Well done! I love this kitchen! It has and does everything you need it to. I also did a drainage rack on the wall in my NYC kitchen in the 80s--it is a brilliant idea!
Great video. Lovely kitchen! I would move the seating slightly off the wall, which would probably create the illusion of more space. But I really like how neat everything in your home looks!
This is a great video. Can you do one on bathroom design please? I’d love to see how you’d apply your minimalist, clean aesthetic to a smaller bathroom design need. 🤞👍
I love this! Me and my family are in the process of getting a new house. But my parents aren't minimalists and aren't always on the idea of functionality over design.
where did you get the fridge that could be integrated like that. I was watching videos of "future" houses from the 40's and integrated everything is the concept I long for.
i would get rid of dishwasher, put the washmachine/dyer there, and move the refrigerator where it is , - move the microwave somewhere else so you can utilize more space that is a broken unused area .. like to see the rest of the house design
I would say this is more of a galley kitchen making good use of space rather than a minimalist kitchen. I was kind of expecting to see one pan, one pot, minimal utensils etc. Having said that it’s a beautiful kitchen…if our kitchen wasn’t so large and cost a small fortune to replace (here in Australia where everything is double the price), we would definitely spring for a more modern look.
I find it really difficult to keep the kitchen so neat and clean, especially when you have coffee machine, vitamix blender, rice cooker, boiler kettle etc. these frequently use home appliances. They’re pretty heavy to move around and they took a lot of space while occupying the plunging slots.
Awesome Daniel! This just showed up in my feed. Totally something I would subscribe to. Fabulous kitchen layout. And although I am the other end of the spectrum (maximalist) I appreciate a perfectly and well thought out kitchen! My only question is why not extend worktop on the 'island' out to have bar seating? Would it impede the walking space to outside?
Thanks Bethany! I'm glad you liked it. I really wanted the countertop to align with the structure of the existing house, which meant that it wasn't easy to detail an overhang for bar seating. I definitely thought about it though! :)
It’s so sad that their white cooktop isn’t available in North America. I’m about to design my kitchen with the Voxtorp panels and Sektion system, most cooktops here are black, when you’re paying a regular amount… I wonder if that i’ll change. I remember Ikea sold a white cooktop in Canada with manual controls. It looked so cool.
I love that your kitchen is small by, I guess, Western standards. I hate large kitchens. Personally though, I hate open plan kitchens. I like being able to close the door to contain smells, noise, heat and clutter (cause no, I don't get to my dishes and cooking mess right away). Where I live now, no one has a closed kitchen, and I can't wait to buy my own place so I can close it off. A friend of mine recently renovated her whole flat, back in my home country, and instead of a regular wall, she went for a glass one. It's great, cause it contains everything that needs to be so, but it let's a lot of light in her dining room. Besides, her kitchen looks really cool, so it's nice to be able to see it :)
i need the fridge freezer!!! no local stores sells that one in reasonable price in my country. normal fridge will have to have distances from wall because the machine (?) is on the back
This why I loved my work at Ikea kitchens. designing functional and beautiful kitchens for families and households
The drainage racks built into a cupboard is genius 😳
It is as long as the however the door opens means using the sink is still easy. When washing up you are likely to keep the door open so having one you’re likely to hit your head on would be annoying.
Dish draining closet is one of the best inventions from Finland to me!

I love the faucet being on top!! Thanks for another great video!!
You can be a minimalist on the outside, but inside those cupboards was a mess!!
They don't need it all, how often will you actually use a cup that's all the way in the back?!
@@---un5mt never, so I wont have it.
What even is the point of owning something you won't use. ugh. He claims to be a minimalist yet he keeps redundant junk and makes a mess.
"The junk that minimalists pretend not to keep" is spot on 🤣
I sometimes forget that you're actually an architect.
I love when the walls, trim, and ceiling are all one color.
Absolutely stunning and functional, even love the way you integrated the vent hood over the induction range top .. just brilliantly done .. so often I see architects design bananas bonkers bs redos that the owner might like but will actually detract from resale value bc it’s just toooooo specific to the owner and not future potential buyers .. this is not only functional and beautiful but any other future buyer would love Love LOVE this!

I really wanted this video for better ideas as I really like the minimalist kitchen of yours
You have done such a beautiful job on that kitchen - all clean lines, it must be such a soothing space to be in. *looks around her own chaotic kitchen and sighs*
Those transitions were absolutely naughty
Thanks so much! It's nice hearing that the small details are appreciated 🙏🏼

a-ma-zing aesthetics, love the design of your kitchen!
Love the honesty about the mess and junks in the kitchen!
I love how you've made a top range look out of a realistic budget kitchen.
Great work. It's beautiful, very minimalistic and yet fully functional! It's well planned and designed down to the smallest details. The only thing I would add is a bit of color like a smal plant, something that adds a visual interest
I would trade the marble tiles for quartz countertop. Laminate countertop is just a no go on 2021.
Love the cooker hood very clever! We have a tiny kitchen that we are redoing in the next while this is an amazing design
Been waiting for this video. Also, cool new editing tricks Daniel!
Thanks Marte! I'm glad you enjoyed them! 😃
Thank you! I finally see something realistic and I can steal your idea for my home renovation project.
Wow! This white hob makes such a difference!
Tidying up your fridge may take a lot of effort this time. But weekly check-ups help keep it neat! 👍🏻

It’s common in Singapore too!
Minimalist Designs with Maximum Science! Absolutely lovin it!
The added sound effects while you showed the floorplan were great. Another great video.
A moment of appreciation for this underrated channel...
Love the honesty in this one, especially the fridge part haha. Beautiful video man!
this is so good for me and for my OCD thank you
This kitchen is simple and functional, just the way it's meant to be. Great video, great work, keep it up, man, I'm a Civil Engineer, and you're a big source of inspiration, thanks a lot!
Oh! Wowwwww! You shifted to a new larger house! Congratulations!
Fantastic work! So many little storage tricks adding up to make a great finished product. Especially love the cutlery storage contained within the larger drawer!
I like it too. However every time you need cutlery you have to open door and drawer. 🙄
Awesome design!
"the junk minimalists pretend not to keep" -- I literally LOL-ed at that phrase
But honestly, thanks for letting us see the actual mismatched content of your cupboards!
Awesome kitchen. We have had 3 ikea kitchens in 3 different houses and they are so great. You’ve made great use of the space
Finally a real looking fridge contents . I hate when you can tell people arranged and put fancy crappy just for TH-cam
That’s basically my dream kitchen. I would just add some plants, flowers or artwork to it and it would be my very exact style
love how he's so honest about it lol and it looks super functional !
Your kitchen looks amazing 😍 That drainage rack is genius 🙌
This kitchen is amazing! I love your work!
Love your new Kitchen Daniel 🥳👍
Love the transition from plan to elevation.. truly an architect's presentation
"I'm gonna go tidy up our fridge" -so awesome, so real!
I must replicate that over the sink drying rack! Having one of those on the counter is my absolute pet peeve.
IM IN LOVE WITH THIS KITCHEN. OMGGGG
Wow! What a beautiful job you did. Very creative and functional. Nice job! You have provided some great ideas for my small 9X12 kitchen.
The cupboard drainage pan is genius!
Wow this kitchen is my end of search . Could u make it warmer n cosy n aesthetic 😅😊
Nice. I'm about to move into my new house. I'm a terrible hoarder. But I'm going to try to maintain the illusion of minimalism in the common areas.
That is a well-designed kitchen! Love it! 🤩
Thanks Aian!

I almost spit out my breakfast when I heard "splashback". :) Funny and interesting how different regions use different terms for the same thing
where did you get the fridge that could be integrated like that. I was watching videos of "future" houses from the 40's and integrated everything is the concept I long for.
Such a beautiful seamless affordable design with full function and loads of storage ... very impressive!
PS: Good luck with cleaning up the fridge :)
Thanks Ruth! 😃
"The junk that minimalists pretend not to keep" I knew it!😂
I’m obsessed with this kitchen
I see nothing wrong with your fridge?? 😂
But omg the integrated handles, the microwave door, the kitchen spout...writing this all down! Thank you 😃
Wow! I love all the storage space in the kitchen! Such a great and functional space!! Kitchen goals 😊
Wow! I love what you did in your kitchen, it really inspired me a lot. Amazing work!
