The Top Kitchen Design Trends in 2024! | Timeless & Practical

[@Grannynan]

I have seen so many "idea" videos that just regurgitate the same stuff. But here you are with original content that I actually want to use. Thanks for the great ideas!

[@lovemychacha]

Great video, I have been doing drawers in the kick for 25 years. If you don’t put hardware on them they disappear into the kick, and make a great hiding place for valuables. I even had a client get broken into, and nothing in their kick drawers was taken! It saved their laptops , jewelry and important files.

[@camellia8625]

Brilliant idea

[@AndYourLittleDog]

I appreciate any video that has a Canadian saying "out" dozens of times. Thank you, Phoenix.

[@russboulet2228]

I’d never heard of toe/kick drawers. What a good recommendation. Thanks

[@irmoladyinred]

I cannot wait until I get to work with you on my kitchen. Praying 2024 is good to us so we can afford to do this next year.

[@sfgamedevelopment]

I love the integrated niche in the backsplash idea. Would be great for cooking oils and other essentials while cooking.

[@akinyiomer4589]

I've always wondered about storing perishable items (even items with really long shelf lives like oil, dried herbs/spices, vinegars etc). Wouldn't the constant heat & moisture / temp changes affect the product? I guess you could store it in nice glassware so it's more protected than if it's in plastic or metal; but I think even if it's mostly protected, if you're opening some of these items so close to moisture all the time it won't have an effect over time?

[@youdeservethis]

I'm obsessed with not having anything on my kitchen counters! I have a kettle out because I am lazy, but that's it! These are great ideas!

[@BB-re8mw]

Yeep me too...put stuff away people!

[@cullenfrandsen834]

.....just sayin', an appropriate teakettle on the range (ie. Hearth of the Home) can be an amazing Feng Shui item....

[@youdeservethis]

@@cullenfrandsen834 thank you.

[@amygriffin7672]

No, I never thought about docking drawers in that way, but now I’ll never think about them any other way. 😂

[@dorrengilbert804]

Wonderful advice as always. Thank you Daddy.

[@tyr7416]

You're really good! When and if, I build my own house, you will be my home interior designer.

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

This can be one of the source for your next design before Holiday seasons. ✨

[@00shivani]

Okay the appliance garages sound like a nightmare 😂 You mentioned SO many workarounds to logical concerns, like… if there’s that many workarounds, some of them quite expensive, maybe it’s not logical? In my opinion, I don’t like a completely blank kitchen with focus on cabinets and counters. I think that styling is important and appliances represent the actual cooking that goes on. I think instead of requiring NASA level engineering and warren buffet level money to hide appliances, it’s better to BRING appliances into design in a creative way. They make so many different colors of appliances, styling them with a vase or with cookbooks, or even just by themselves, is a skill and way better than installing these crazy contraptions. Although younger generations are known to cook less, I think leaving appliances out will inspire people to use them more and cook more in general. Design should ALWAYS go hand in hand with functionality and life.

[@00shivani]

Okay im on the outlets section of the video and I don’t think im the target audience for this as a poor who uses electricity and enjoys cooking 😂 I love a clean nice outlet, i dont need everything hidden i prefer convenience..

[@JohnMcLovin-xq3qg]

Great video DD!!! Love that kitchen at 2:09, so sleek, beautiful and timeless. Also love the appliance garages and the all the extra hidden storage!! I feel like I see so many underwhelming kitchens in multimillion dollar homes without these features, doesn't make any sense.

[@ArtemisWestenberg]

I have made toe-kick drawers for many decades. Made them myself, so they use the underneath much more than is shown here.

[@robinbirdj743]

Great ideas. At 60 though with a bad back I’m not bending for any muffin pan wich can hang on a wall or be stored higher up. Balance becomes an issue too. Hips get stiff. Just store less. I LOVE my Hoosiers (old cabinets on legs) and raised mine 1-1/2” with small screwed in blocks. Bumped two different widths next to an old desk to have more counter (they come with their own counter) AND so now also two appliance garages! Mine are roll top. Very cool. Plus they have small useful drawers and an upper closed cabinet. No wall hung monstrosities. ❤

[@zacblake9249]

I got a galley sink a year ago because I have limited counter space in my kitchen. Very happy I did... I can now multi-task without even having to move more than within the sink itself.

[@melissa564]

Great ideas and examples of form following functionality - I really enjoy your videos.

[@sandrahelland2419]

Wow I didn't know this drows to the kitchen existing . ❤❤❤❤

[@SamUndJet]

First, I love the stripey chair to your right… Second, what What a wonderful video, full of actionable, functional, creative ideas for utilizing wasted space in the kitchen. I’ll be updating the kitchen and replacing the sink in the house we just bought, so I appreciate the suggestion of a galley sink, complete with task-specific accessories. Anyone who has spent time arranging and working in a kitchen can appreciate the wisdom of your ideas, including the level of detail on how to actually implement the ideas. I’m subscribing right away.

[@dtpersonal601]

I am obsessed with your content. Such good ideas and advice and presented in such a relatable way. I’m currently doing a new build on the West Coast (near White Rock, BC). Absolutely love your approach to design.

[@nogames8982]

I have a corner area that I actually didn’t bother with the Lazy Susan, etc. I use it to hold very large items I feed my dogs and cats are raw diet so I use things like large Dish pans, lots of plastic food containers in a bin, trays, etc. All that fits under their beautifully along with my dish strainer that I almost never use, and a toolbox. Everything fits under there beautifully, and I would have no other large area for it to be. no, it would not work with small items, but for very large items like that it’s great. Easily accessible.

[@tonic2335]

Love the sink idea

[@maryannhartzell2958]

Thank you for all your wonderful ideas💫

[@frankiefurbag9030]

I purchased one of those sinks, they are amazing.love it. ❤❤

[@terencewong-lane4309]

Thank you Design Daddy! Love the idea of the sliding door backsplash storage!

[@julzm7067]

Workstation/galley sinks are available in a range of sizes. I used a 25" one in my small kitchen; it's 10" deep so washing stockpots is no problem. Most of the time the cutting board is large enough, I only have to spatchcock a turkey a couple of times a year. Excellent and practical recommendation.

[@eileengabellini6935]

You have a great sense of style.

[@terriblejustawful2825]

Solid video!

[@decoratingwithjoshaywoods7580]

Love all these recommendations!!! I honestly want a hidden scullery behind my kitchen like the kitchen with the backsplash sliding doors!!! Her kitchen and scullery is AMAZING!!!!

[@TeamBrooksx6]

You rock!! Thank you - planning it now and 🤯

[@Timoeltejano]

You spoke absolute truth about hiring a designer. A few years back I did a favor for my friend's parents. I did all of the design work for their cabinetry, big house, countertops, floors walls...95 percent of the project, ordered it all, arranged for all of the trades, traveled back and forth to their home-an hour away and met them at my office during weekends and off hours. I oversaw the installation of so if it and was the total project manager. I only charged them $2500 and my friend's dad was offended by it. He thought I had taken advantage of them... But I helped them avoid baby mistakes and they loved their house when it was done. My friend told her Dad that he had no idea how much money I saved them and that since he loved the finished product-can't put a price tag on that.

[@pieceofmymind3]

Thank you for this!!!

[@chakrakhan8624]

im glad I found this channel I have been designing my dream home on Pinterest for like a decade now 😂 and I watch home tours especially older style homes where they have butler pantry? not sure what the name is but I always thought that space could be a dedicated smoothie/coffee drink bar and with some of these trends you name it could really elevate the space Ive envisioned.

[@JuliaARubin]

Love your advice, it always makes sense and marries form and function. I included toe kick drawers in my new kitchen design, but the fabricator completely effed them up, along with the pullout lazy susans, so. I ended up with regular corner lazy susans (still better than shelves that are unreachable) and no toe kick drawers. Ugh.

[@NickyPixar]

I make kitchens. I agree with appliance garages for rarely used items, but never for a coffee station.

[@irmoladyinred]

Another great idea I want to incorporate is a sliding tall, narrow cabinet with outlets that I can hang and plug in all of my cleaning power tools along with a regular broom and mop.

[@liliananicoara1869]

In Europe we do have outlets in the furniture. In the kitchen we have appliances with the same doors as the furniture like the fridge or the dishwasher.

[@edchen1866]

Docking drawers are the best💕 Love your styles (for the most part except the eye popping chair you sit on during the video itself haha. 😂

[@colleesu555]

Uh... I'm currently dealing with a mouse infestation in my cottage. And uh... toe kick drawers? That's prime mouse real estate. So I'd prefer vertical drawers and/or put your pans upside down in the kick drawer.

[@suzannecarter445]

Love your summer outfit! (Don't you just go around in despair in the summer, seeing how men dress?) Toe-kick drawers, docking drawers (if you can trust them to work properly) - All these ideas are pure genius. Sadly, since I rent, the only way to wangle more prep space was to get a wooden cutting board and drainer big enough to fit over the sink. I never want to own again, but this video made me come close to craving cool custom things over the convenience of renting. (I always wondered why Scandinavian ship builders didn't make these things standard in Europe.)

[@Galainthekitchen]

Thank you for the interesting video. We have an old kitchen and when we are ready to redo it, I know what to look for. Love the idea of toe-kick drawers, we have covers and open space on the top. Our kitten tried to get there in the corner and I caught her on time! I cover the opening with foil for now. About complicated sinks, it depend on people's needs. Personally, I don't like anything on the top of my sink. I tried and learned, that we need additional space to hide these items:) They were always on my way. Fancy for display but not functional for me.

[@andylinacre8231]

Thanks Great ideas !!

[@3larsons]

Great video.

[@dinapawlow1622]

I can’t afford to redo my kitchen but I can remove clutter, electric wires, and do a major edit. Less is really more.

[@The_Smith]

I hate these kitchen videos Phoenix . . . because they make me want to redo my 1980's done on a very limited budget and still not finished kitchen but still don't have the budget . . . but I watch them anyway because I can always dream so don't stop making them ok? (I hope you know my sense of humour well enough by now to not take this as an actual hater comment . . .)

[@dismurrart6648]

What about having a plan and updating over a few years? My partner and I are planning something like that. We started with the appliances, then we're going to turn this one spot into a pantry, and so on and so forth

[@arlenezang3216]

Me too!

[@organizstylist7732]

So, you actually like them because you watch them for inspiration. You just felt the impulse to post a NEGATIVE replay to what GET ATTENTION??? It’s like people are wired to be assholes everyday now, instead of just sometimes.

[@Virginia-vn7ud]

I do the same for same reason , still can not afford

[@magnoliablossom8127]

Oooohhh! I'm envious of the toe kick drawers; sounds great for flat cookware, e.g., large platters and trays, cookie sheets, jelly roll pans, etc. However, because of a lot of activity in the kitchen with lots of splashing, I would hate to have to clean all the components of that sink and the lazy susans. I designed my kitchen so there are no corners to contend with, just straight lines. Works beautifully!

[@mis5sim]

Docking station in a drawer to charge your electronics but power cuts off once closed? How is that going to work? Love all the other ideas! 😊

[@kimsoto7665]

Question. I guess this pertains to kitchen space, but if you had a choice of either having an entryway closet or giving that space to a larger kitchen pantry which would you do? We are doing an new build and I can’t decide. Leaning towards larger pantry to gain value in kitchen and who doesn’t need more storage for kitchen items🤷‍♀️ Can add bench to entry instead.

[@panhd1163]

[@rockshot100]

[@KelaineTravels]

I’ve wanted to redo our kitchen since we moved in back in 2018. I’m not quite ready to drop the money for the improvements yet. But when I am, how do you decide who to hire as a designer?

Hi Doing a$40K freshen up of our 22 year old kitchen w maple cabinets. Installing a new 24 x 48 island stained in light green. 1) what are your thoughts on different colors of quartz on island and perimeter counters? 2) would off white or cream quartz counters click with light green Zellige back splash? The maple has darkened nicely over the years. Appreciate your thoughts here, Daddy!

[@helenstella2226]

My dog has partial paralysis in his hind quarters. First I brought out rugs. They helped. Then I brought out my old yoga mat. It helped. Then I realized that I need to do yoga or I too will be old and immobile. I bought another mat for myself- and he will get another. But I am determined to exercise my flexibility. My grandmother made it to 100, and she will call me a wimpy piker if I don't.

[@jaydee11.11]

Bed box drawers @counter toe kick are only applicable if u don't have leveler legs in that area Ty for pointing out the hazards of placing outlets in flammable materials like cabinet panels, well noted! Will PVC panels work? As oppose to mdfs and plywood?

[@robin8773]

[@EdynBlair]

We are planning to build a dome home, it will have a 15x15 space for the kitchen and a 5x8 pantry room off to the side. We plan to do an L shaped kitchen with a large island and we can’t put in upper cabinets because of the curve in the walls. We hope we will have enough storage

[@talisacopeland1767]

Most kitchen renovations or designs speak to a kitchen with space, what are renovation ideas for small Galley kitchens ?

[@sorbabaric1]

I don’t have the budget to hide the outlets in the kitchen, and I’m not changing my countertops or backsplash, so the one outlet in view that bothers me, I have a beautiful bird plate on a stand that’s in front if it, then moved to the side when I’m using the outlet. It works.

[@cakedupkevin]

The Le Mans device for corner cabinets is the Rolls Royce of corner cabinetry storage solutions

[@DevourerofCookies]

If you're from EU, Hafele makes those docking stations.

[@jaguise826]

Docking drawers for a charging station won't work if the drawer has to stay open for there to be power to the outlet. I am hoping they have models that still have power when the drawer is closed. I want to put a narrow slide out cabinet by a refrigerator that has a builr in outlet. It would store and recharge a cordless vacuum with other cleaning supplies.

[@Scott-rf5ux]

What is the setup shown at 10:54? How does the sink not interfere with the items below it?

[@ninaotan7811]

Appliances garage is a very questionable thing. If you do not use an item often there is no need for a garage - it can sit in a drawer or on a shelf. But if you do use stuff stored there several times a day, it is a nuisance to open and close garage every time you need to use them. Quite likely the garage door will remain open which defeats the purpose. Storage on the floor easy to open and close, but to get a thing out and put it back is not so at all.

[@keithdygert1120]

Why would it would be any different than opening a cabinet door or drawer?

[@ninaotan7811]

@@keithdygert1120 My point was that in certain circumstances hiding often used appliances in a garage is a pointless exercise and the appliances are better staying on a bench. If there are two people who drink three cups of coffee each, they have to open and close garage six times a day. Not very convenient in my view. Needles to say that, for example, a Jura coffee machine has a beautiful design and a pleasure to look at. Again, my personal opinion.

Galley Sink!!!! 🙌 Best innovation for kitchen design and function!!! We're in the middle of renovations on our kitchen and decided to go with this option but we have a 33" sink cabinet base. We opted for 27" due to lack of counter space on the L shape of the kitchen. Do you think we should opt for the 30" instead? It's essentially sink v.s. counter which is more necessary for optimal function? Also; mulling over the color of the sink. I grew up with white porcelain and stainless steel sinks and hated how they ended up looking over time. I knew that when it came time to renovating my own kitchen I would opt for matte black because of these icks I had over the other options. Now we're building a timeless, elegant but also semi-modern kitchen (think upscale monochromatic nancy meyersesque) and I'm worried that the matte black sink will age my kitchen over time. What are your thoughts? Should we just go for it or go for a timeless option also? I don't want to regret it in 10 years and then be stuck with it.
