DESIGNER TRICKS TO MAKE YOUR KITCHEN LOOK EXPENSIVE (no renos!) 💎

*Clear the Fridge* . I clean homes, nothing aggravates me more than a cluttered fridge. I'm not moving all of that "stuff" and based on some clients, they haven't moved it either in ten years. My coffee maker is the only small appliance on my counter and it sits in a tray, all the others are stashed in a cabinet. While I love Dawn dish soap, it serves me well beautifully decanted in an amber pump bottle.

[@barbarella2507]

Another tip for keeping an area from becoming a dumping ground for items. I have an eat-in kitchen & was constantly asking family to put their things away. A trick I use to keep all the stuff off the table was to set it the night before. No place for anything to land!

[@kathrynletchford5114]

I agree, with the comment below. That is why I have subscribed to your channel. You don't waffle on, about your toenails, or the weather. Arrrhh. That drives me crazy. I love your, to the point, matter of fact way, of approaching things. Keep up the good work.

[@ginger4368]

Love the images you chose to give examples. You conveyed kindness with exact easy to understand options to elevating a kitchen. Then you threw in other options with images that was well thought out and executed perfectly! Love how you also included links to certain products and tips in video. Bravo! Totally enjoyed watching your video.

[@melodyandgames9310]

Thank you for your great tips! I moved to a new place recently and applied some of your tips. I decluttered the counters until there's only one small appliance, a drying mat, and nice soap dispensers. I also got myself a thin, good-looking cutting board that looks pretty on the drying mat and I can still tuck it away in the cabinet when I know I won't need it for a while. It took me about a month to gather the things I needed (because I waited until they're on sale), but now I have a lovely small kitchen!

[@Simphome]

I think we all agree that the kitchen is the heart of the house. and thanks for your explanation about all these kitchen design tips.

[@EmCitynWaterCo]

I found a decent kitchen faucet (used) for $50, one free chrome faucet for the bathroom, one I bought for $45, knobs for $25, caulking for $10, and a new switch light plate for $2.50, and a set of two LED ceiling light fixtures for $30. So far I'm very pleased with these changes 😁

[@topfengolatsche]

omg that little honking sound, when the dishwashing liquid is shown ♥ these are the things that make your videos so incredibly entertaining. quality content and great humour!

[@Halbmond]

One thing to keep in mind with jars and containers is that some things are light-sensitive. Things like most spices, oils, protein powders, tea leaves and coffee beans should *not* be stored in transparent containers but in tinted or opaque containers. So it’s best to have both kinds of storage! The tip with the dish soap is great! I have long had a soap dispenser for my bathroom, but I’ve never actively seen refill bags for dish soap. I’ll look out for it, though, and buy a soap dispenser for the kitchen! Another thing I’m unsure about is how to decorate or hide the little things that are almost always in the open in my kitchen, like honey, maple syrup, tabasco, and small stuff like that. Or maybe I need one of those condiment baskets that I can easily put away after use?

[@sashalawren598]

I just use ANY soap dispenser that looks beautiful and gives me a happy feeling in my kitchen. Thank you for the clarification about the jars. You are so right. Never crossed my mind.

[@ety3144]

For the jars of honey and condiments you can have a turntable that is partially covering the items or a basket partially covering items as well

[@alicepersons2823]

I tried the strip lights and they died within a week. I love my pantry, which hides containers. I like my red microwave and electric kettle, which give me pleasure. I painted my cabinet doors green and have lots of art in my kitchen. I used peel and stick Mexican style tiles which brightened the backsplash. There are a lot of good tips in this video.

[@lose999]

Your little doggy is adorable. I put live plants in my kitchen; the under cabinet lighting is always on.

[@mnm3755]

I love your video. Straight to the point! I’m in the kitchen all day especially with my almost 2 year old daughter so I like creating a cozy & clean ambience. My must haves are the tv screen on my fridge which I can turn on KZbin to play smooth jazz or set a floral wallpaper. I love my google nest to set the timer, give me the time, play music, or tell me the weather when I look outside my kitchen window. I love having my oil diffuser on which not only changes colors, but gives a nice mist. I can’t live without candles, or a good smelling dish detergent. I have a strip light both above & under my cabinets & depending on my mood, I’ll turn it on to a certain color & it makes me happy. I also like seeing my plants every morning I wake up & I give him a tinkle of water. I guess we just need to figure out what makes us feel happy & that will make your kitchen feel high end to you. I haven’t added a picture frame or books or lamps, but I feel they’ll get greasy if they’re in the kitchen.

The amber bottle hack is so potent. Dish soap is such an eyesore.

[@Christoff6025]

Good gracious.... I'm guilty of so many wrongs in my kitchen!!! From soap dispenser on the sink to fridge magnets. Lots of room for improvement ☺️

[@goodwolf866]

Appreciate the tips for kitchen decor. I have very little counter space so instead of a lamp for ambiance, I have a pendant lamp over my sink. It gives both functional light when working at the sink and pleasurable light when all the other lights off. We are definitely guilty of dish issue!

[@imasavage3103]

Good tips. Thanks. And remember, after a meal the kitchen isn't really clean until the counters are wiped down.

I used to have a drying mat but it hit yucky so I got a silver rack and board drain. Have to figure out the sponge on the handle thing. I use that but don't want it under the sink when it's wet so I have it in a tropical glass. Great video, I really like your videos and ziggy is adorable.

[@belkisrosario9951]

Wonderful suggestions except for drying mat for those of us who cook for a family practically everyday. We NEED to have a dish rack to hold many dishes, pots and pans etc. Also, in our home, it’s more practical to keep it out at all times. That’s about the only thing I can’t change.

[@Kathywake23]

Yeah this is something ive battled with for a minute. My dishes are ugly but need to dry in the open. How do you make that pretty?

[@hereforit2347]

The kitchen is a utilitarian space. For me, the best kitchens reflect that to some degree. These days we seem to want to remove that element altogether.

[@greyscalesx]

Well if you have big sink, put in there, it will be hidden but completely usable. If you can save up for a dishwasher or big sink would be ideal but thats not always possible

[@wendylang2360]

Use both & reserve a shelf in a cupboard or pantry to hide them. What I mean is - wash up & place items on rack. Allow them to dry there as long as possible. Place mat alongside & then sit rack on it - then shift dishes, rack & mat to that spot you reserved on shelf out of sight. (By shifting rack on the mat, you don't have small items falling through.) This is also a way to move items out of the way when you have a really big amount & want to keep washing up but the rack is full. I used to have a little ditty above my sink - "Thank God for the dirty dishes, They have a story to tell For some in this world go hungry But we are blessed to eat so well." Happy Housework Wendy

[@MilaN-lt2mq]

Decluttering and decanting are awesome ideas, but paintings above the range? Or a table lamp taking valuable countertop space with the cords hanging out? Does anyone actually cook in that kitchen? Stick on tiles look cheap in person no matter how well they photograph, the same goes for stick-on under-the-counter light strips.

[@zakosist]

I thought the little shelf she placed under it would block out food spills and that was the purpose of it

[@pouinichan]

I love your channel ! straight to the point bo unnecessary talk. any sentences has an important information so we don't lose time. because what I hate we informationnal videos. just sometimes pictures dont last long so while you talk we have a too short moment to look at the picture. so I often pause. but it's a great quality content you the reason I'll renovate my appartment

[@sjwillis1137]

Thanks Posh . I will definately employ these tips when we put our house on the market . Love the jars , and pretty baskets . ♡

[@lollsazz]

I love the look of decanted items, but not the thought... If there's a little bit left, and you put more on top, at some poi t ypu'll have some really old food in the containers. The reasonable thing would be to use up everything in the container before refilling, but that means you need extra space somewhere to keep stuff in the original packaging. Also: expiry dates: how do you know how old things are?

[@josephinenelan4204]

Decanted in the front, the remainders in the back. I use up until empty then replenish. The handles on my containers are so much easier to work with. But I don't do it for everything either. The things I use frequently enough the expiry date is a non issue.

[@bwlrebell9256]

I cut the expiry date labels out of the packaging and put it on the back or inside the pretty looking container.

[@jaiyana73]

You got some great replys for your concerns, to add to them I would like to add that I decant foods like pastas, sugars, rice, dried goods like peas and beans and snacks wrapped in their packages, if you get my drift, that way you won't have to wait for the container to finish before you topping them up

[@ei_maj]

I just bought 3 matching vases from a thrift store. They're cute and they were like $1 each. Only issue was I had to rid of (what i assume was 70 year old) pasta and dusty noodles out of them, first. As I am doing this, I am thinking _this is silly, why are we putting pasta in vases and jars_ ? The only thing I jar in those pretty organizational jars/containers are baking powder w/a baby spoon, washing powder, things of that nature. I don't want someone empty my 70 year old rice or pasta into the trash, 70 years from now, thinking the same about me 😅

[@jaiyana73]

@@ei_maj Works great for me as we use these food items on a regular basis, we don't have much cupboard space and I can see straight away if they need topping up without having to go through the cupboard as they fit nicely on my countertop, if it didn't work for them or if it does not work for you then I totally get it

[@Caliabra]

I agree with what she is saying. I have a very small kitchen and I cannot store things off of countertops or put things like lamps taking up my precious countertop space. All my cabinets have to hold everything …I don’t have room for decor - open shelves. We are going to start a kitchen remodel and I am excited but fundamentally the space is not going to be sooo big that we can do a lot of this

I'm surprised at the amount of negative comments on this channel, some people seem to forget that lots of people are renting and having electricians in or replacing existing cupboards are not an option. These people would love my apartment 🤣 I have 5 doors and a window, all different sizes and moldings, hardly any cupboards, 2 feet of counter space, no room for a dishwasher because the washing machine goes in the kitchen, the dryer goes in the back porch 🤣 But I've always had open glass shelves and framed art on the walls, just make sure it's framed under glass and horrors yes you have to clean it regularly.🤣😂 But it makes me happy.

Hi Posh! I really love your videos!! May I ask where the "appliance garage" is from?

[@louise7401]

Great tips. However, it didn't work for me to move food products from their original packaging to clear containers because I lost the cooking instructions, nutrition info, and expiration dates. So then I was cutting that info out with scissors and taping it to inside of lid. Too much work. Just easier to keep pantry doors closed.

My kitchen is a workhorse, not a show dog. Its purpose is to feed a family, not to pose for a photo shoot. I keep ugly packaged items in a pantry closet (with a closed door) and the expiration dates clearly marked, and don't like my work surfaces cluttered, do like clear glass jars with labels for spices and coffee station items, agree with limiting small appliances to what you use every day, love under-cabinet lighting, but will never use lamps or floral/ greenery arrangements as kitchen decor. Everything in my kitchen has a purpose and a place. Nothing is there to be purely decorative.

[@HarpistJoanna]

My kitchen is also a workhorse, but it can look pretty while doing it’s many jobs! It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

[@taraclarke2565]

Curious why you would watch a video on kitchen decor if not interested in kitchen decor 🤔. Perhaps something with "practical kitchen" in the title would be better suited to you.

[@WriteSister]

The items you use in your kitchen can be functional as well as decorative. The main thing is clean, tidy and uncluttered. Each to her own but one splash of beauty makes for a happier cook. A pretty bowl of fruit fresh flowers.⁷

I could do all of these suggested things but I'd first have to get rid of my wife. I take all the magnets and other stuff off the fridge; she puts it right back. She thinks she has to save world single-handedly, so the drying mat is always occupied with lots of washed cans, bottles, jars and other stuff waiting to go into the recycling bin.

[@hepiemerton9047]

Very nice . I subscribed.

[@psdeas7530]

Most dish soaps can be thinned by half (and should be!) Find a bottle you like (mine are breweries with fun labels!) Thin your dish soap into this bottle, and cap it off with a spout designed for olive or other oils. You can usually purchase these for a small cost at grocery stores or Bed Bath & Beyond.

[@Abby-Brock]

This was so good! Thank you 💕

[@aliasrose]

I don't understand all the decanting of everything. How do you know the expiration dates? Why not just put them in a storage cabinet?

[@angelasagenda]

If you want to give it a try, I suggest a washable marker to write expiration dates on the bottom of the jars. If I need to keep the directions I write them down on a clip board that hangs inside the pantry. But yes it’s a lot of work just to have a pretty pantry

[@Cheers.-]

Aesthetics over practical...

[@incognito9262]

One more downside about decanting is that I’m always afraid to drop the glass container and end with shattered glass and wasted food.

[@Tania-mx9tu]

I put most items into Tupperware storage containers. You can find these used-just clean and disinfect before using It “cubes” out your pantry to decrease wasted space (a shipping/freight concept). Sometimes I put similar bagged items together and place in one container (such as bagged croutons, dried cranberries, etc into a “salad toppings” container. It’s much easier to find things, pantry is organized =less waste. Yes, it is more visually appealing, but far more functional. Well worth the time to not have sugar or flour flying every time you reach into an open bag or loose dry noodles spill in your pantry. However, if these items were on a open shelf I would use more decorative containers.

[@karadiberlino]

[@Knutschelche]

So many great tips! I love her videos. But I would never use baskets in the kitchen area. For me, everything that comes in contact with food has to be washable. Also food moths like paper and natural materials to make it their home. And transparent containers are only great inside cabinets. They may look great outside too, but food should be stored in the dark, especially coffee and tea. Porzellan, ceramic’s, eco- plastic or dark glass can look beautiful ;)
