Garrett has such a rare gift in design-- common sense.

[@spark0girl]

I love how you focus on function. The amount of times I’ve had friends recommend me an Instagram design tip that has me scratching my head and think ‘ok but how does that work if somebody lives there’s?’

[@johannas.l.brushane2518]

Indeed, I get the feeling that open shelves are inspiration from pro restaurant kitchens, where it may work, or maybe be necessary if the workspace don't allow for cabinet doors to be opened without risk of the sous chef hitting their heads in them. In a restaurant the stuff on the shelves is usually used and washed up at least a couple of times per week, if not every day.

[@sallylee4924]

Speaking of "floating" marbles, I am reminded of a project that someone I know worked on. The owner wanted lobby of the building covered in marble, floor and walls. Instead of going through the builders to source the marble, the owner decided to do the sourcing himself because he "knows a guy." Well he sources the wrong type of marble. The back hadn't been treated for the grout (or whatever) to adhere to, as in, both sides of the marble were polished smooth. Also it was REALLY thick and heavy. They were told to "just do it." The slabs didn't set in and they came back to fallen marbles the next day. So, anyways, your fears of marbles falling on your are not completely unwarranted.

[@GarrettLeChic]

"I'm an Instagram designer but don't really know anything about design." Shots fired and I'm lovin it 🤣🤣🤣

I didn't even know about the mirror trend in kitchens🤔. It's like eating Tide pods or glue, you shouldn't need to be told NOT to. Thank you for another great video.

[@GarrettLeChic]

And now we have to have security get us laundry detergent out of armored cases😭

[@NoRegrets.]

I lived this first hand due to open living. I had beautiful cherry cabinets in the nineties. I had elaborate glass cabinets built in the kitchen /dining/ living room. To make it even more beautiful I had glass shelves mirrored backs and beveled mirrored back wall between these upper cabinets and lowers to mimic china cabinet. . It looked very much like an elaborate bar back of the 1800s. Well being from the south we fry a lot of foods. Let me tell you with open plan living grease floats though the air or blown by the a/c or whatever. Even though the mirrored parts were more than 10 ft away from the actual stove thoseglass fronted cabinets with mirrored walls and shelf backs were a constant labor . Beautiful to look at and display but not practical at all. Because of that I do not have any glass fronted kitchen cabinets in my current home.

[@melaniekeeling7462]

[@dibrentley7915]

I wish drying cupboards became a trend. They have them in norway I think like every home. Use a cup, wash it then stick it in the drying cupboard, keeps your kitchen neat.

[@aliciabarker329]

Oh Garrett, I hope you don't mind me saying, but you're really coming into your own. During this video you radiated confidence, knowledge, and charm. As a viewer, I felt the connection, and totally agree with everything you said. Design is everything to us Design Lovers, but we can never forget function. What's the point in being in a space that is beautiful, but unusable. Kudos 👍

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thank you so much! I really felt that in this video too! There is some amazing content coming this month that I can't wait for you to see!

[@justcath1]

Alicia...I know exactly what you mean. I've just started watching his videos and I can't believe how much knowledge he has at such a young age! I'm really enjoying his posts. He's so practical and sensible. This is the kind of guy you want as your next door neighbour. I bet he'd be a ton of fun!!!

[@CC-rv4zc]

Can we talk about people being so insistent on having an island even if their space really can't accommodate it? They either cram them in a space and reduce the overall function and flow of the kitchen, or make a tiny one or two cabinet island that ends up looking like misplaced base cabinets. I was a kitchen designer, and sometimes there were no amount of explanations, drawings, or measurements that could convince someone their space was too small for their vision. If I got a bonus every time someone regretted it after the fact...

[@GarrettLeChic]

OMG yes! Crazy that people would rather have a sliver for an island then a peninsula, or IDK room to walk around!

[@mskrislewis]

I love my island in my 2000 sq ft home, but I am moving into a (bit larger than a) Tiny House. I want an Island on wheels. I can move it to the corner when I do yoga. Kitchen is 17'X8' area with "office" in 1 corner and open to living space. Island is 36X36. Is this do-able?

[@mskrislewis]

@@tinamcnalley2575 The cabinet space is 24X36...the extra foot is a concrete countertop over hang for eating space. The kitchen is an L shape. I am not sure if I can attach a floor plan here.

[@bricksloth6920]

I often ask myself "who is doing this to their home?" when I hear about trends. I don't do trends.

[@bricksloth6920]

And texture is why I decided against one of those pressed tin style backsplashes. They look cool but I am not hearing all those tiny grease catchers. 😖

[@lisaf5303]

Put grey wood floors in my kitchen 2 years ago and love them. I was informed they're a fad and going out of style. I said oh well too bad I love them and now I want them throughout the rest of my house. You can't worry about trends do what you love. I also love the tin tile look and don't want to clean them.

[@GarrettLeChic]

So true, you really have to decide if its a trend or if it really reflects your style, we see so many things repeated over and over that it starts to seem like a necessity but you've got to ask yourself if it really fits your lifestyle!

[@ShadeIsLikely]

I generally am not really wild about the ridiculousness that most decorators come up with. And I’ve seen way too many rooms that photograph well, but don’t make sense otherwise, aren’t functional, aren’t comfortable, aren’t inviting. But, this guy makes sense and I love how he says “if you’ve got to have it, I want you to have it, but it’s not for me.” Kinda’ like…ok, you were told, but whatever.

[@amyweaver7413]

Mirror in kitchens is insanity for anyone who actually uses their kitchen. Yikes!

[@helenfitch3440]

They put them everywhere so they can look at themselves . Problem is they don't check what they look like before they go out.

[@pricedesign8805]

I am not into the open shelving, I prefer more storage

[@sct4040]

Except in a galley kitchen, bang ouch ouch my head. Yes, I took off my large cabinet doors. No more accidents. 🤣😁

[@healgrowlovecommunity8397]

I so agree with having upper cabinetry that goes (or looks as if it goes) right up to the ceiling. It instantly makes the kitchen look more high end. Loved Albert's cameo appearance! "...crushed by quartz? I don't think so." OMG I nearly choked on my coffee and had to pause the video to recover! 😂😂😂

[@que2h.690]

"Where is your stuff?"..... How true! Why even have a kitchen ? You need "stuff" if you want cook for goodness sake ! Luv this ! You nailed all of my pet peeves in kitchens !

[@peach.lambert]

This is the first time KZbin has recommended a video to me that I was thankful for. I'm instantly in love.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks. What a lovely compliment. Welcome!

[@theschnauz2138]

I have a larder in an awkward corner of my kitchen. Really it’s a functional thing as it’s where our toaster, kettle and coffee grinder live. When they’re not in use, they’re tucked behind a cabinet door. It’s visually more appealing. Also, thank you for looking at design as functional and long term. So many people don’t and it’s completely impractical for the vast majority of homeowners. ❤️

[@LesaBear612]

The Whole segment…”crushed by marble…”. LOL🤣

[@pw2035]

Finally, a common sense approach to decor: elevation of function over form, while still elevating form.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks so much and thank you for watching and subscribing to our channel! 😀😀😀

[@roughly6feettall]

Couldn't agree more about the trend of getting rid of the upper cabinets! I have a very small kitchen and need every bit of storage I have available to be functional- I cannot imagine removing the storage for some shelves that can really only display aesthetic-looking items. Its so trendy at the moment that I worry the next time we move we won't find a kitchen with any upper cabinets.. lol. Loved this video!

[@GarrettLeChic]

I'm feeling the same thing, an open shelf or two is nice but having all my stuff on display? I could never!

[@user-xg6zz8qs3q]

Looking at these trends it's obvious that we have kitchens all figured out. So wealthy people have to go far out of their way to stand out in a sea of standard IKEA kitchens which look good and function well. And this leads to the overuse of expensive materials (marble) and glass shelves.

[@denissefigueroa2388]

Love your advise in decorations! Love that you're knowledgeable on all the different decor styles, and that you don't "push" for only your personal style. Great job!

[@itsnotthesamething]

When I was a youngster, I worked in a steak house that had a huge salad bar. There were mirrors on the back of the bar. (at least 10 2x4 ft panels) Cleaning the splatters off those mirrors every freaking night after closing was a nightmare! I do a lot of cooking at home, and cleanup after a meal is more than enough work for me. I had no idea anyone would want to put mirrors in their kitchen. No way!

[@GarrettLeChic]

Agreed! Thanks for watching, and supporting our channel by subscribing. Happy New Year!

[@kimbunchalastnames5357]

omg i LOVE you! instant connection. and girl i feel you on glass in the kitchen. so much that i will go ahead and seal my doom by saying that kitchens are also horrible places to keep appliances finished in stainless steel. "stainless"? ha! it collects more fingerprints than a police blotter.

[@johannechampagne7332]

The open shelf thing and no upper cabinets. Meh…. It’ll be dirty and you’re effectively reducing your kitchen storage by half and replacing it with display space for only attractive things and not much of those or it’ll look cluttered. This too shall pass. Your advice is excellent on all points.

[@dianacryder7523]

My god, you're adorable! You're swiftly becoming one of my favorite channels because you're so upbeat, relatable, and informative. The only thing is you move so fast, it's hard to absorb it all. But that's okay. I just rewind. Keep up the great content. Love it and love you!

[@GarrettLeChic]

[@annek.7998]

I'm looking forward to the end of using grey on walls, cabinets, flooring, etc. It's institutional IMO. I really hate the use of grey flooring, it's limiting as far as decorating goes and is going to look dated within a few more years. Let's face it, flooring is not inexpensive to change. Use wood stains that are actually found in nature!. Whenever I see pics of rooms done in shades of grey, they almost appear to be black and white photos.

[@zeldaharris6876]

I cannot tell you how much I hate grey. It is soul destroying to see beautiful houses, rooms, gardens destroyed by the grey plague. Unless it is a natural material like slate, grey sucks the life out of every space.

[@karenlafleur6592]

I’m with you. When is this gray trend going to end? Just not a fan.

[@Grannynan]

As usual, your remarks are spot on. Especially about the mirrors. One of those trends that you love for about five minutes...

[@annmarielanders9992]

Thank you so much for sharing your insight!! I’ve been so overwhelmed by magazines, recent trends, and of course, friends likes and don’t like. I now know what NOT to do, before I start redoing my kitchen!

[@ahjort100]

I don't like open shelves primarily because I don't want to be concerned about dusting, or degreasing, but also I don't have enough nice stuff to display! 😂 I don't think anyone wants to see my collection of shot glasses on dsiplay!

[@addisonwayechoi1864]

I bought a condo in 2013 that had mirrored upper cabinets and a mirrored fridge. I have to say, it really wasn’t bad to clean. IMO, mirrors/glass are much easier surfaces to wipe down than stainless steel/wood/painted cabinets. It also forced me to be more diligent on wiping those things down, so I think it helped avoid some of that gross caked on grease you see on a lot of cabinets.

[@humangoodness]

100% spot on about the texture in the kitchen. My kitchen has a sink below hanging open shelves facing the living room, no backsplash, if I turn the water on a little to much it goes shooting into the living room. Can't wait to fix it.

[@mariatrotter6889]

Loved this video . I have to agree with you on most of it. Trends come and go and some of the trends just don’t make functional or visual sense at all . I rented a beautiful a condo in Miami with ocean views and the floors and kitchen were all beautiful white marble . It was beautiful to the eye but an utter nightmare!!! Boy I am glad we rented this while we were looking to buy a another property. No marble floors or counter tops . Thanks Garrett. Another great video .

[@Ktgj79]

I'm so glad I found your channel! Ironically my partner and I were just talking about how our current kitchen is too small for countertop appliances, but we'll probably never be able to afford a house with a Butler pantry.... the countertop cabinets/hutch top is a PERFECT resolution!! (ie, the one at 7:54)... Keeps those frequently used appliances accessible and usable, but keeps the space so clean.... I'm mind blown. Thank you for that!

[@GarrettLeChic]

Love that for you! I think that is such a prefect idea and will add storage to the space too!

[@caitliniverson5705]

Wow thank you for your videos... my husband and i just saw your videos and agree with so much of what you have to say! We have a custom cabinetry business! You are spot on! Form and function!

[@caitliniverson5705]

Ps one of the trends we are seeing that drives us crazy... its when people use veneer brick back splash but it doesn't end with a wall so you can totally tell it's a veneer instead of a real brick wall... or if you are doing a floor to ceiling tile backsplash you need to do the whole wall and in both cases not just at the end of the counter

Re: marble. Watch over installers carefully to make sure that no “images” appear! The Court of Appeals had to rip down yards of marble because it formed a “gynecological” image behind the judge! I’ve heard of other mishaps.

[@nikkitalks4713]

🤣

[@stargazertress777]

I need some open shelves in the kitchen because I don’t want to open and close cabinet doors to take plates and other frequently used items in and out of the cupboard. Open shelves are ideal for small condo kitchens. I think they look cheap in big kitchens.

[@AnitasDreams]

Love these tips. We closed on our home on Friday. We will have a small kitchen that has been opened up by taking a wall down & having an island with under cabinet storage. The previous owners actually took a corner wall down & opened the space up so you now see into the kitchen from the main living area. I believe they had quartz countertops wrapped on the island top & kitchen couter tops. We do have some upper cabinets in the kitchen. Eventually we will remodel the whole kitchen but not now. I LOVE the idea of using the top part of a hutch on the counter. Something to think about.

[@GarrettLeChic]

I really love that idea, I think it adds so much storage and character!

The trend I see where I live is. Wall ovens under a cook top. This drives me crazy. If you don't have the wall space to install a wall oven at counter height. Just buy a range and save yourself $3000. The purpose of a wall oven is to save your back from bending over.

[@jeanninecrider8521]

We have four full grown German Shepherd‘s. I do keep clean house, but have opted for a darker base cabinets. I’m incested by dirt on my base cabinets from the dogs. This trend works very well for me!

[@SomeUniqueHandle]

I love open shelves but they can be a pain to clean. What we did in our last kitchen was to use open shelves in the corner of our L shaped kitchen. This allowed us to put a few decorative items up, break up the cabinetry so the kitchen felt more airy, and gave us something more functional than corner cabinets which tend to swallow up whatever is put inside.

Bonjour Garrett, Happy Tuesday/Wednesday ! I liked this video so much especially the fact that you bring to attention that some of those trends are so not practical when it comes to cleaning.

[@lapetitecerise4557]

Tbh, marble counter tops are very rare here in good old Germany. I have never seen it in any place, neither have I seen it in France. Maybe in superfancy homes, but I didn't know any rich people except for our managers at work.^^ And at least one of them just had a simple Ikea kitchen in their big house with a wooden counter top. As I still am renovating my kitchen (oh, the disasters we had so far, I was on the verge of tears = never ever underestimate renovating an old house), I also checked out stone benches. Honestly, it is not affordable, except if you can splurge 10k on just the work benches here. Quartz isn't much cheaper and if it is, it doesn't look nice. I went ahead and bought a marble board for chocolate work, that's enough. In the end I went with a wood top and a white kitchen. Yeah, I know, but Europe is simply very different to the US when it comes to kitchen cabinets especially regarding colour and I don't think I could paint it nicely enough to have a navy blue or sage green kitchen. And my biggest crime: I did not go with ceiling high cabinets. They are 2,60m and I am 1,54m. I just felt it doesn't make sense, plus the ceiling edges are curved.

You earned my subscription with this and your other videos. I could not agree more with your insistence that good design is FUNCTIONAL as well as beautiful, especially in high use places like the kitchen and bath. All your comments let me know you really understand good design. I have been hating on kitchen open floating shelves for years now-- don't those people actually cook in their kitchens? (shudder). Excessive texture-- same thing! I was going to ask you about upper cabinets that hang, where they are also used as a space divider, and you can see through to the other room under the cabinets. I have such cabinets and would love to remove them, but I would have to replace the storage somewhere else. Alas there is no where else. If you have any suggestions for that, I am all ears! Great content-- and I love your sense of humor too!
