👏👏👏 You are the first person I have ever heard advocating for separate kitchen and living space. Western cooking is almost always in (at least partially) in the oven. I watch a lot of home Reno or house hunting shows. Every one wants an open plan kitchen. Imagine cutting onions or even frying them in an open plan kitchen everyone’s eyes would be watering and the smell of food would permeate the upholstery and curtains in the house. No matter how powerful the exhaust. 🤷‍♀️ at least Asians should understand their kitchen needs and not demand open plan kitchens.

I’m from the Philippines, and our house has an open-plan kitchen. We’ve never had issues with odors or other inconveniences, even when spending time in the living room. It seems that the open-plan kitchens you’ve experienced may have been designed or constructed differently.

My exact thoughts!! I’m from Panjab in Pakistan and we have an open plan kitchen in our current home and it’s one of the worst mistakes we could have made, we’re 1000% going off for a closed off kitchen in our next home as well as other closed off spaces in general, it’s okay for these yts but not for us.

You have a great presentation style. Natural, pleasant, and to the point. This was a good list. I agree that no appliance should be on the island in an ideal world. If you put one there, you may be tempted to also put a bar height surround, which does not look as good as an all one height counter

What a cool channel! I have another pet peeve for kitchens: Floor tiles. If you want your kitchen to be a communal space for family or friends, floor tiles will just destroy the acoustics of the room and everyone will always feel slightly uncomfortable, without being able to put a finger on why. Same goes for other rooms too of course, but in the kitchen you can't really use rugs to alleviate.

Hi! I was telling my friend about your channel that I just stumbled upon, yesterday. Lately, I've found it extremely rare to see smart women posting any interesting content, so thank you for your videos and keep up the good work 😃 Otherwise... I agree 100%, this trend of choosing shelves over proper cabinets in the kitchen is totally absurd! It reminds me of my very first apartment that had shelves over the kitchenette. Back in the day, trust me, being too-poor-to-afford-actual-cabinets-in-your-kitchen wasn't trendy at all, but it looks like times are a changin 🤪The clean-freak in me was always triggered and upset at the idea of these shelves getting greasy and sticky, no matter what. Bad memories 😔😂

Excellent. Love what you said about not having the hob or sink on the kitchen island. I was debating keeping the hob there due to the kitchen triangle, but I am feeling more strongly now that it should be moved to the side with the refrigerator, which would also allow us to vent outward instead of requiring a downdraft ventilation system. I'm grateful you touched on the open shelving because I had been debating it. I was also debating opening up the kitchen more to the living area, and I'm going to keep it just as it is now because you are right...I don't want dirty dishes and messy cooking spaces to be in view of guests as they enter our home. Thank you!

I absolutely love our open plan kitchen, with a hob in the island so that we don't face the wall whilst cooking, but can socialize (the induction has a built-in exhaust so no ceiling one needed❤). We cook a lot and host a lot, and the party always ends up gathering at our kitchen island that everyone compliments 😁🎉 We have one big long living space (knocked wall) with a couch area on one end, table in the middle, and full-wall kitchen with an island cooktop at the other end. The cooktop has a built-in exhaust and even if we forget to use it, there is no smell problem whatsoever. Even our velvet furniture doesn't "acquire" it. If anything, there are very appetizing smells if I do say so myself! 😄And we do fry a lot, garlic included. We are vegetarians though, so no fishy or meaty smells in our home ;) We did bake salmon once and it didn't smell either though. Back when we had separated kitchen there was always a struggle to where to locate the guests when we finish preparations 😢 It was very isolating as well, if one person wants to lay on the couch while the other is cooking or cleaning the kitchen, we can still be comfortably together in a conjoined space. Wouldn't trade it at all, but I know that we all have different preferences and needs ❤

Agree on each and every point. On the dishwasher, it has to be related to the size of the family. To say, I'm a family of three, a 45 cm dishwasher is perfect for my everyday needs, a bigger one would have to wash half empty. When I have guests, I charge it twice. Still on the dishwasher, if you are right handed, it has to to the right of the sink. If left-handed, on the left.

Great ideas. I have an open kitchen, visible from the entrance, with 2 uppers to the ceiling, open shelves, and no vent 😂 oh- and no drawers. The kitchen was opened c 1940s. The cabinets added in the 40s were dropped, and I’m not removing the 80s version as we speak. I have two large 40”x49” tall cabinets with old style twist turn brass latches from 1902 for my 1905 kitchen, so that’s a win over the pressboard oak of the 80s! I’ve taken out the rotten base cabinets in favor of an open (curtained) wood sink table. The 1927 Hotpoint range is from 1927 in b& w and chrome. It’s fab. I don’t do a lot of frying so it’ll be fine. Later, I’ll add a wall fan on the stove side to suck out cooking odors. I DO have 3 lighting sources. And a cast iron porcelain sink with one large basin. I’ll also look for a drawer unit that’s solid wood and old. I’m pretty excited because though I have little counter space, so have a lovely work triangle. And will ❤ my open shelving!

I’ve come to admire you and your channel. You always get me thinking about my house and how I use it. This time though, I think you left out an important function of kitchens in our day and age - kitchens have become the main gathering space during parties. I feel kitchen designs should be adjusted to suit this function. The largest room in the house should be the kitchen, not the living room. Open kitchen are true to our time in that sense. Hobs in the island allow us to face and chat with our guests as we cook.
@baixu

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. 😊 Kitchens are definitely sociable spaces; it’s funny how, at parties, everyone seems to gravitate there, no matter how inviting the living room might be. That said, I think it really depends on how one likes to cook and entertain. Kitchens are great for keeping the conversation flowing while casually prepping, but they can also be stressful when things get messy, and you’d rather keep the chaos contained (I personally get super stressed when cooking for a crowd and would much prefer to have my own space without feeling the need to entertain guests at the same time). On the other hand, fully enclosed kitchens can feel isolating. There’s a lot to be said for something in-between-a space large enough to cook, with room for people to help or sit, that opens out to a larger area but still allows you to close it off from the dining and living spaces when needed. It’s an interesting topic with so many opinions (I knew this one would get people talking! 🙈). I’ll revisit this in another video to explore these ideas further. 😊

I'm an Italian 72 year old. I cook all morning every single morning. I've lived in 3 different countries and in many different houses. Personally, I've discovered that I've never used extractor fans as I have found them noisy,ugly,grease collectors and useless. So any new kitchens that i have installed i totally eliminate them. My current hob is directly in front of a huge window,but the depth of my top is 70cm instead of 60cm and those extra 10 cm depth are totaly a game changer and i would strongly advice for anyone with space to do this. If I'm doing a recipe that causes a lot of steam ,then i just leave my window slighly ajar ( i live in a hot country where winter hardly exist) but rarely do i need to do this. I'm in the process of reforming a little casita on our property and as it's so tiny the kitchen must be open to the sitting area. Because of this i refuse to use top cupboards which will cause un ugly sense of aesthetics, so I'm opting for open shelving with very tasteful things on them. Pictures,plants,vases etc. Over the cooker area i will put a few large things that can easily be cleaned. Glasses,cups,plates etc will be in draws. I regularly change things around therefore clean often. I think it all depends on the time that you have. A working mother with children will probably not like this idea of mine....and rightly so. The fridge will go on another wall in a built in nook. My plan should work as it will look more like a sitting room than a kitchen. As my little casita will be for short time friends visiting ,I'm sure that this kitchen will only be used for breakfast and then out we go visiting beautiful places. One needs to think carefully of it's uses. If a woman doesnt cook,but just heats up microwave ( crap 😂) then she can make her kitchen more of a showcase. I call such kitchens cheese,crackers and wine kitchens.😂😂ps for me one of the most important things in a kitchen is a very large sink !!! Unless you are the cheese and cracker type do NOT buy those silly round tiny sinks. Ok ,they could be fine for rinsing your wine glass 😂😂

5:43 One drawback to drawers is that they're permanent. They can't be shifted to meet changing needs. If you've got two deep 12 inch drawers and the utensil drawer above that, this is what you must live with. For life. One solution is to secure the shelf so it doesn't tip, then add undermount drawer slides. Now, if you ever need to shift things around so that you have a 16 inch and another that's eight inches, you just raise and lower the shelf pins, secure the shelf, and replace the drawer fronts. MUCH more manageable. I'm constantly trying to come up with strategies to future-proof a kitchen.

Hello, I have an L shape kitchen ( with an island) and my stove is closer to the corner where there is no cabinet on the side wall. I have the recommended minimum counter working space between the stove and the side wall. I am concerned there could be cooking splashes on that side wall. Should I continue the tiles onto the side wall only for the space between the countertop and upper cabinet for the depth of the counter top or should I tile the entire height of the side wall ? Thanks for your tip, really appreciate it.

Hi Anne, interesting question! From what you have described, I assume the tiles do not go all the way up the wall anywhere else, because you have upper cabinets? So then, I think it would look a bit strange for the tile to go all the way the side wall. I would tile it to a level where it matches the other tiles, and for the empty space on top, maybe hang some artwork, so it is not so empty? Feel free to email me a photograph of this room and I can have a better look! hellobaixu@gmail.com :)

Definitely tile the side wall if a wok is to ever be used. A friend caught our side drywall and overhead grease vent on fire, using a wok on a gas burner since it directed the hot flames outward.

I think the beauty of open plan kitchens is that the person cooking, spends a lot of time in the kitchen, and so doesn't get cut off from her family. And it becomes more of the heart of the home. I remember thinking my mom used to be dismissed to the kitchen, cut off from us and i hate that feeling. So i want the kitchen to have pride of place, integrated into the family living space, and i don't care about visitors seeing it messy coz that's just being real. U don't have to have a fully curated space just for visitors

I think the only thing I disagree on is drawers. I understand the advantages of them, and I’m not saying they are bad… but: (1) they’re not reconfigurable. If my husband (and, face it, it is my husband) decides he will be baking bread and needs a grain mill and giant tubs of wheat, I need the ability to reconfigure the cabinets to accommodate this new addition to my kitchen, whatever its height, etc. Things also go in and out of favor. Back in the day, we made pasta all the time, and so pasta materials needed to be convenient; now they don’t. To me, the inability to reconfigure means I don’t want to move to drawers. (2) It often is unpleasant to grip heavy things and lift straight up out of a drawer; I can get a better grip reaching around it. And, sure, I can configure a special cabinet for my stand mixer, but see point #1. The stand mixer went out of favor after a period of frequent use. (In fact, it went so much out of favor that we now have the Ankarsrum instead, which is a different size and shape.). I guess I feel my life and diet have changed so much over the past 20 years, and we’ve rearranged the kitchen to suit every time… I can’t see myself putting in a kitchen so customized to what I am doing now knowing that everything will probably change again in five years. (Because I am never remodeling this kitchen again. Ever.)

I read about corners in kitchen. First, I decided to make a linear kitchen as there is no angle issue. Second, I saw that the space you save with expensive solutions let the same place unused because of the mechanism than not putting anything in the far forgotten corners. So let's save money. And if possible, forget about corners. They are not so easy to use, and quite opposite to natural flow. as it may be quite claustrophobic to work in the corner when there is someone around and no move possibility.

There's a reason why open concept kitchens continue to be a major make a break when buying a home. Most ppl don't want to be separated from their families and/or guests' when cooking. The kitchen is seen as the heart and soul of the home; most cooks would agree isolated is a major turn off. The desire for closed off kitchens appears to be related more to particular cultures and their foods.

Cabinets to the ceiling were in Scandinavia since the 1950s.

That’s the only part of the video I don’t really agree with open plan kitchens I feel are really nice for having people over because it doesn’t create separation between visitors and the cook especially if they also want to cook, food is the heart and souls of all social gatherings and separating the cook from the social area just feels off 😅

La cuisine ouverte sur la pièce de vie est un bon fonctionnement pour une famille avec de jeunes enfants. Pour les autres, je peux comprendre les désagréments.

I've never understood open floor plans. I like rooms. My friends have spent thousands and thousands of dollars breaking down walls to make open plans. Their living areas all smell like food. Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. Fried chicken lasts for days... lol I also can't stand kitchen islands... I'm pretty much alone on that one, too.

But that doesn't change the need to reach that height to clean up there when it creates an open shelf, so you still need that ladder.😅

you can not "pick a counter height" unless you want no appliances to fit. Counter heights are standardized for a good reason.
