Honestly, this may be the most helpful video I have ever seen. Garrett, I am so glad I have found your channel. This information has blown my mind. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!🤯😍

Thanks so much Lori! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. We really appreciate having you as a very valued subscriber!

Yes, I agree! Simple small details that mean everything.

This channel is exposing the hidden ugliness within omg

[@bonniekuhn1366]

Yes to base cabinets with drawers and pull-outs. For 40 years I lived with a huge kitchen full of nearly new, high-quality base cabinets with 24-inch deep shelves. It now seems as if I spent the whole 40 years crawling around on the floor trying to make it work (no budget for a quality re-make). When I downsized to a small cottage with a new kitchen - drawers and pullouts galore - I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Never, ever install base cabinets without some way to access things at the back while standing upright!

[@bookmagicroe9553]

I agree. I'm on the floor getting stuff out of my lower cabinets. I'm in my 70s and this is not ideal.

I am remodeling my kitchen now. We didn't add drawers but going to retrofit them after this..makes so much sense

[@Autism_Forever]

I line cabinets with shelf liner and put heavy duty dishpans in them which act like drawers. Sterilite makes decent ones for example. Can also get mobile plastic drawers from Target and install them in there. I have them under my sink. I cannot be on the floor because of mobility issues :) so if I did not do the dishpans these cabinets for my purposes might as well not exist :) Drawerless bottom cabinets are for able-bodied people only. I view them as a form of disability discrimination :)

[@kellyross4801]

Lighting. So often, kitchens need more lighting. This is not the space to go moody. If nothing else, consider adding some of the newer slim LED lights that replace the older can lights. Better lighting can make things look cleaner, too.

[@beingarlenegloriously6831]

I completely agree about having all drawers instead of having base cabinets, it's much more useful.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Yay! Thanks for watching, and supporting our channel by subscribing Arlene. :)

[@dianebaum5194]

Yes !

[@rickandteribedell4350]

Yes great idea but on a budget? Drawers are costly in kitchen remodels.

[@beingarlenegloriously6831]

True, they are costly, but in the end, you can see and reach everything you need to use in the kitchen. 🙂

[@Cecily-Pimprenelle]

I did smile at times, because ”luxurious” is not an impression I want my kitchen to give (I’d be afraid to mess it up!) - my go-to look would be Practical, Sensible and Timeless, but one definitely doesn’t want it to look cheap either. Thanks for the tips! We did use some when redoing our kitchen some years ago, good to see we had it ’right’ on some points (and merely not-wrong on others).

[@rw7668]

He does use the word a lot and, unfortunately, incorrectly.

[@mjef3695]

Great ideas as always. The smallest kitchens can use these ideas and be elevated to luxurious. Love love this episode. Forgot to mention, declutter countertops.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks so much! I think people know I'm about no clutter, and the need for organization, but you are right countertops should not be cluttered in kitchens or bathrooms. :)

[@_.-._.-._.-._.-.]

Never thought of the baseboard thing! I hate cleaning under that little overhang, but I never considered not having them! Love it. Definitely fixing that in my kitchen

[@grat2010]

I wish someone had done a video like this when I redid my kitchen a few years ago. So many regrets. Also, you are so right about the toe kick! I think an easy change that can elevate a kitchen is lighting both by adding more light and by upgrading/updating overhead fixtures.

[@samanthamorgan5248]

I have to say Garret, you are a class act. So many times when people do these kind of videos they come off as condescending and are often just saying anything that is not currently trending is disgusting trash. Not you! You come off as a classy friend giving solid non-judgmental advice to help people elevate their space. I also appreciate your encouraging people towards environmental conciousness. And of course, we love your pup!

[@GarrettLeChic]

[@joanvoss7512]

Agreed 🎉

[@lisafowler7477]

Thank you so very much Garrett for these wonderful tips!! My husband is a custom cabinet builder and your idea of getting rid of the toe kick is right on point. We are currently designing our own kitchen and in addition to inset doors, we are getting rid of the toe kick. One suggestion is to utilize that toe kick space with an additional drawer. I plan to incorporate six of these into my kitchen with touch opening systems. This will allow hidden storage for baking sheets and thinner kitchen items that are not frequently used. Keep your ideas coming!! I love your videos, you, but especially your precious pups. 🐶♥️

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks s much Lisa!

[@kimdunleavy3534]

I love your channel Garrett! My tag line for you is “The Designer with Sense and Sensibility.” Everything you point out is so logical and obvious but unconsciously overlooked-like those deep cavernous corner cabinets from hell. I have two more items to add to your list-too many wall outlets on a backsplash and “fake ventilation.” I have six ugly outlets on my backsplash, and that’s all you see when you walk into my kitchen. As for fake ventilation, I’m talking about those microwave/fan combo units over the stove that pretend to filter out grease and smoke and do nothing but act as an annoying noise generator. Proper ventilation may seem just functional, but to me a well designed exhaust hood is pure luxury. ⭐️ P.S. Congrats on reaching 30K subscribers! I predict you will top 100K by 2023😃

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks so much Kim! You are such an awesome and supportive part of our very valued subscriber family! Also, thanks for sharing some more great ideas in you comment. :)

Congratulations on the 30,000 subs🎉🎉🎉!!! My main reasons for watching you are #1 you don't put down anyone's style and #2 you give PRACTICAL tips. If it weren't for you, it never would have crossed my mind that open shelving invites dust 😅 keep doing you boo!!!

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thank you so much!! We appreciate your support Kaley. :)

[@nogames8982]

I have 10 foot ceilings in my kitchen so going all the way up to the ceiling was just not affordable or practical. And I almost made the mistake of doing a wild colorful backsplash but I'm so glad I changed my mind. And I laughed when he talked about the refrigerator fit in the space. I ordered a refrigerator back in May. And I had my cabinets made with those specific measurements in mind. I didn't get that ordered refrigerator until literally yesterday. So I've had a loaner fridge which I appreciated but it didn't fit and it looked really stupid. So nice to have my new one in place now

[@aburgheryes]

I always love your videos! My husband and I have different ideas about luxury design and practicality in the kitchen. I have always loved decluttered countertops and believe that it’s practical to not have a lot out on the countertops for ease of cooking and preparing meals and cleaning. We recently retired and built a new house with more counter space than I have ever had in forty years of marriage! I have found myself actually agreeing to having two appliances on the counter - our coffee maker and, gasp, an air fryer! (I bet you thought I was going to say toaster!) I have these appliances on the counter beside the refrigerator bump out so it isn’t in view of the main living areas but it is so convenient! I even bought a beautiful tray that holds a napkin holder, salt and pepper shakers, a coffee mug full of metal coffee stirrers, and a ceramic dish that holds our sugar substitute. And, right beside this tray, I have a really cool paper towel stand. I can’t believe what has gotten into me in my old age! Please tell me it’s ok to be a little practical as I age! Oh, and the toaster is in the cabinet below. I have it on a pull-out with an extension cord. We pull it out and move the cutting board that I have propped up on the counter to hide the electrical outlet. We slide the board over to plug it in and leave the toaster right where it is on the pullout. The air fryer doesn’t cooperate with the pullout set-up so it has to go on the counter. Cutting boards make great outlet covers, by the way! PS - I completely agree about no plastic!

I have an old farm house. The kitchen has inset drawers and cupboards. It looks like it was hand made. I painted the top cupboards white, the bottom cupboards slate blue, added beautiful handles and now, I'm going to replace, the roller-hardware in the drawers to make the drawers feel more luxurious. Love your tip about the kick-board! Thank you! Love your pup too!!

[@barbarahaas1339]

Lots of helpful info again...good idea about the kick plates....I certainly don't need more corners for dust bunnies to live! Love bulldog cohost!

[@GarrettLeChic]

Wow, thank you!

[@preparehomeinchrist]

Agree so much about toe kicks and drawers. It adds so much to function and keeping things organized and clean. I wish we could do cabinets to the ceiling. We have a vaulted ceiling in a 90s home, so I didn't want to make the space feel smaller by lowering the ceiling, but I prefer cabinets that go all the way up. Not only having NOT to dust, but also for having more storage.

[@aliciakelly925]

Congrats on the +30k! Well deserved! This was such a Great Reminder of things/ideas I needed to add to my 'must have' list as we're gearing up for our kitchen redo. So helpful, as always!

[@GarrettLeChic]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much. :)

[@sarahbruck7538]

First, thank you thank you thank you! We’re about to redo the kitchen in our daughter’s 1930 pink Spanish house. Showing the difference in looks, esp the toe kick, is SO helpful. She’s too young to have much kitchen experience, and these pictures help explain everything at a glance. Second, we live in an area with some bizarre rebuild requirements, like use of fluorescent lighting. We solved the problem by installing the fluorescent lights under the cabinets. The benefit of the light without the major ugly. Then we added power strips for all the appliances. It makes the backsplash area much less populated with outlets, with better ease of eye, and anyone can work anywhere along the counter.

[@SparkIMO]

I'm about to go through a kitchen reno, and everything you mentioned is on point. Still a month away from starting it, but I went through all those details with the designer. So, yes, you definitely know what you are talking about!

When we put cabinets to the 9' ceilings in 1980 people thought we were nuts. I love having the extra clean storage space.

[@nimbus2113]

Love the ideas especially for cost efficient solutions to get the cabinets to reach the ceiling! I’d also highly recommend lighting, out with fluorescent tubes!! And a nice consistent under cabinet lighting for tasks with a dimmer for ambient settings always stands out nicely!

I am a new Subscriber ( April 2023.) I really like your fun and informative videos, Garrett. I binged a bunch last night and also this morning. I agree with almost everything you suggest and learned several things. I really enjoy your energetic and cheerful manner.! You also have an excellent speaking voice. I love your humour and love seeing your dogs! Maybe we could meet your husband one day too! You never mention his name. Question for Garrett (great name) or anyone else reading this. I inherited a kitchen created by another person. I have a mirrored backslash and I took out the mirror (I broke it by mistake with a cooking pot) behind the electric stove top. I put mini tiles with black grout. They are varied tones of brown with some coppery sparkle tiles too. I sent away for a large copper tile on Etsy made by a guy in Poland. My handyman installed the mini tiles and the square Polish Copper tile with a raised copper Tree of Life in the center. The cabinets are olive green, just like some in this video! The Granite is brown, coppery, and orangey swirls. I have mini under cabinet lights. The question is what do you think about a mirrored backsplash? Is it Tacky 80's Crap? Is it pretty and chic Glamour? At first I Hated it, now I like it. It reflects light and items on the counter, like flowers or my Betta Fish Bowl, or a figurine. I think it is cool, but at first I thought it was cheesey and Tacky? What do you All think? Most people do tiles! Is the mirrored backslash a cool look? Also, I Hate my deep triangular corner cabinets with small doorways. Two shelves inside, but low to the floor, you practically have to kneel, and very deep! I am 5'1". Any suggestions how to make it more user friendly? Thanks Everyone! Thanks Garrett!

Re the toekick, if i did a kitchen refit I have seen that bottom space utilised as shallow drawers with no handles but the type where you push to open. They would be so handy. Excellent video and advice, thank you.

This is a really helpful video. Great points I didn't think of as I redesign my 1950 kitchen to age in place. And your humor...perfect!

[@GarrettLeChic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@1paradox]

Many of these are actually great tips that I haven't seen anyone talk about so thanks!

I don’t understand why builders do not make the refrigerator space deeper. Any standard refrigerator will stick out if it’s placed flush to the wall. Then, to top it off, standard depth cabinets are installed over it that you can’t reach into. It aggravates me. Counter depth refrigerators are expensive and you sacrifice food storage capacity for looks. I really like the information you, and examples, in your videos Garret. Well done.

Thanks so much Lesa! I'm really happy you enjoyed the content. :)

Always great advice. Also love the comment about sustainability. Re: cabinets and trim to the ceiling, I love that look, but also wanted to comment that sometimes a little cabinet that doesn’t reach the ceiling or a china cabinet/hutch feels like an organic addition. It looks kind of hand curated or handmade if it looks like a piece of furniture. Maybe better for a traditional style.

I agree on the plastic untensil thing. I am guilty of a few plastic spoons but after the major reno l am doing they will be a no go. Always good real living advice from Garret plus he is always in a cute sweater during the cold months. 😁

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks Lorene! :)

Love your very informative videos! Just wondering... can you use brass faucets and fixtures if your appliances are stainless steel?

[@loriwald9532]

I sincerely appreciate that you point out problems - but then offer solutions or alternatives.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks so much Lori! Great point in general, and I appreciate the compliment very much. I think if you are going put forth an opinion on the dislike of something or a problem, you should have an alternative that you believe makes it better. Just criticizing things because you don't personally like them without a possible alternative seems like a waste of time to me.

In the market for some cabinetry, lot of good info I didn't know. Thanks

[@TracyMcDowell]

Love these, AND, in my tiny NYC galley kitchen I DO use the toe kick, BUT I also think a toe kick drawer would be lux and add a lot of ease. Also, YES drawers!!! Accessibility and storage.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@saraheschweiler4939]

[@32123ABCBA]

These “influencers” would never diss something so iconically like you do

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks so much! We all get along well. Everyone has their perspective, and I respect opinions whether I agree or not. I just focus on sharing with all of you the knowledge I gained from getting a degree in interior design, and being involved in the craft for almost 10 years. Our goal is to bring viewers the best information possible, and not fluff in a judgment free environment zone without pushing my own style or just regurgitating what's trending on social media.
