I love you girl but I have to disagree. My family and I are on our fifth home (I'm 58) and I just don't see these trends or colors as realistic for the average person. Grey was everywhere for 8 years and now it's not. Beige is now the new grey. Blonde wood was the rage and now it's medium dark. Black granite was it until it wasn't. The best kitchen reno is what goes with the rest of your house and if you have a lot of white trim and white molding....a white kitchen with a pop of subtle color will always be the way to go. Most people reno their kitchens every 20 years or so and even then it's often not a full reno. I just find some of these suggestions to be totally out of touch.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

I hear ya! Its for those peeps who need to update

[@pamcornelius9122]

White has always been a popular color choice for kitchens and bathrooms because white looks very clean.

[@beverleytaffe4928]

I agree. A white kitchen is classy and will always be in style. Imo. If we were to follow these designers ideas all the time we would be changing our decor and colors every year which would be very costly. So for me I go with what I like.

[@danasorton6688]

I 100% agree. I am also 58 and can remember being 6 years old and loving my cousin's kitchen that was on a farm and all white. Ever since I have owned any house, painting the kitchen cabinets white is first on my list. I never like a dark kitchen (grew up with it in the 70s!). In my humble opinion and I am not a designer, white kitchens with colorful accessories or walls if you like color are the way to go. Easy to change and not that expensive. But...to each his own.

[@shannoncook9915]

Way over the all white kitchen...

[@theresayarbrough3145]

I love, love, love my white kitchen cabinets, and my countertops. I have always wanted a black and white kitchen. I have lived here five years, and I love it more every day.

[@dannymartial7997]

I still love the all white look. I grew up in a drabby brown woodgrain home, and it always felt old and claustrophobic. I'm buying my first house next year, and I'm making it ALL white. I don't care if it's outdated. It'll be new to me.

[@Harley24986]

Against all advice I was given, I painted my kitchen black. I ADORE it and absolutely don't regret it.

I bought a house in 2022 with a slate floor, hickory cabinets, green granite counters (love them!). No desire to make it white. And I sold a house with oak cabinets (old but good condition), maple floors and green granite counters and got top dollar

[@whiteshadowfare]

really enjoyed the video because it showed the average person how they could update what they already had without redoing the entire space. Most of us just don't have the funds to do a kitchen redo more than once in our adult lives. Keep these types of videos coming. So Helpful

[@ew8944]

Yay for some color again!

[@youbetcha108]

I like white in the kitchen except for the floor. I do not think a white kitchen will ever go out of style. It’s just so practical and keeps the room light. But I do like all the kitchens pictured including the black ones. I think black just brings elegance and drama in any room it’s used in. Also love navy blue. practical advice. I wish I knew you bf I did my gut demo reno of my kitchen and 2 bathrooms. I could have used your advice and guidance. 🥰

[@amylambert4464]

I truly admire the vastness of your design knowledge and how you take the time to share - for every trend we’re seeing - the “how we got here.” It makes so much sense that the white kitchen spawned from real estate investors and probably TV flippers. My reality is that I’m currently building my next home while renovating a vacation rental and the white kitchen still feels like a safe place to fall for the rental. The hideaway kitchen doesn’t appeal to me but I appreciate that it can be a great solution for some folks. If I hide the kitchen while we’re eating, how will I know I’ve forgotten to serve the bread, or the side dish or turn the oven off? 😮

[@cherylberk4593]

Lisa, love you but you missed the boat on white kitchens! My great grandmother, grandmother, mother, and I had/have white kitchens! It is a Southern Thing, Honey! I am sorry I have high end stainless steel appliances (the FINGER PRINTS) bcs I preferred my old white ones that gave me a more seemless, clean look. Is anyone else fed up with all the standing around being "hosted" as a guest in the kitchen? For 20 years I lived in a home built in 1936 in Miami Beach. It was very open. It had a fabulous butlers pantry. When we redid the kitchen, we did the butler's pantry, too. I had a formal dining room, living room, etc.I miss that gracious living. You cant even get some real kitchen gems like the built in paper towel, foil/wrap holder. Of course, I would like my MTV, Blockbuster, and flip phone, too.❤️

[@shannoncook9915]

Ugh, over them I think because people over did it

[@Mom-pu8vt]

I have a cream kitchen with marble countertops and mix brownish tiles throughout on walls. The floor has square wooden like tiles. We have an outside kitchen for heavy use , it stores large of chest freezers , bulk storage , this kitchen is used for large family gatherings ( cooking) . I grill and cook fish in there ( like today). It is a dark green with same floors and tiles as outside but different pattern . I love that the designers have started to use curves in the kitchen ( no protruding sharp corners for kids running around) I see a lot of that these days. Thank you!

[@choirguy100]

I lived in an apartment with hardwareless cabinets in the kitchen and based on that experience I would never go that route, no matter the trend. When you’re in the kitchen your hands may be wet, you may have food on them without realizing it, and you’re touching all these surfaces all the time. Which means you have to clean these cabinets all the time where you may be leaving finger stains of all kind. Over time the paint starts wearing off just in those areas you’re constantly touching and cleaning. After a couple of years you may need to repaint all the cabinets. Adding handles to the kitchen cabinets is a must IMO, especially if they are just wood and paint. If they are some other material you may not need to repaint so often but you’ll still be wiping finger prints of them all the time. Who has time for that?

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

I have handles & knobs but I tend to leave open a door or drawer once I open it while cooking Then I close up it all when I’m done. It’s like the ease n efficiency of open shelving with the grime & dust free of cupboards! Plus no banging doors n drawers while I’m active. I would LOVE open shelving if not for how filthy everything gets I do use it still for daily use items.

Has not been my experience living in our home for 24 years. No paint looks worn.

[@timilisafogal6990]

I absolutely cannot stand the European trend of hidden kitchen. Something I would never consider. I never went for the all white kitchen either. Such an unimaginative and boring space. Just as bad as all grey or all black kitchens. I think the idea of wall paper or a patterned ceiling and color on the lower cabinets is a great idea.

[@shannoncook9915]

Agree

[@sorbabaric1]

Mu first thought about the hidden kitchens is splatter and dust. Those doors & hinges need to be cleaned, and take up space. Also, it looks depressingly bland with the doors shut. I agree. No thanks. I enjoy visiting with friends and family in the kitchen while cooking. We cook together. I have a lovely Morris wallpaper on the upper portion of walls (strawberry thief in slate) a chair rail with maison blanc (Sherwin Williams) below, plus the original honey oak cabinets. Love my kitchen. I also like the looks of a soft white kitchen when done well, but it’s not for me.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Painted lowers have slowly grown me, for sure. I used to hate half paint, half wood I’m a teak person honestly lol

[@TeslaRules1856]

We went with off white uppers, blue lowers, and light stained red oak floors. Its also larger and more functional. A future buyer (in about 20 years) can change the colors but the larger space and functionality will remain for them to work with.

[@pamelacox540]

I’ve always liked a kitchen with a separate formal dining room. We usually have daily evening meals in the dining room. Dining room w doors is very handy for formal dinners as I can set an elaborate table in advance and close it off to pets and kids. And I love being able to close off the kitchen mess from diners. Having people milling around while I prepare a meal, especially a big dinner, would be a nightmare. The magical guest-milling-about-with-dinner-prep appears to me to require very simple, mostly prepped food which isn’t my jam.

[@ChristopherJohnsonArtist]

Hi Lisa, I am glad you took note of the flat cabinets without hardware. I loved that look as soon as I saw it a couple years ago when researching my tiny contemporary house and was thinking about having a relaxing space that isn't distracting. I never considered doing all white and did consider two tones of green below and white above, but in the end decided on focusing on the space's envelope and having things flow from one end of the room to the other keeping chukum warm off white tones for the walls and counter tops and light wood for the cabinet drawers, minimizing contrast so the kitchen won't be distracting when looking that way from the living or dining parts of the room. I'd rather have the garden views grab my attention. Styles come and go so it is great to just find something you love and can live with for however long you'll be living in your home.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Absolutely!

[@lhartwig2354]

Bought a home in 1995 with white painted cabinets. They were chipping and staining within 3 years by 5 they looked like heck. I finally got new cabinets in February 2024. I don’t think painted cabinets are durable enough to survive a kitchen that is used regularly. Maybe if you don’t cook much painted cabinets are fine. I also would not have wood flooring in a kitchen with wood cabinets as it’s really difficult to coordinate.

[@annemurphy9339]

My upper cabinets are white, painted with Benjamin Moore Advance, and they’re still perfect 6+ years later.

[@roliver6844]

Don’t do white countertops-they show every speck. Do a speckled top which hides the specks and feels better with less effort. White counters look so good but don’t give you a break and they can stain so quickly and is a costly choice you will always be cleaning way more than the speckled surface granite etc.

[@leilanimason3478]

Who the heck is cleaning the fluted wood cabinets. Looks great but completely impractical. Sometimes a design trend should just be ignored, this is one of those.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Any design on cupboards should be outlawed Grease grime fingers spills No way do I want to clean details in a kitchen

Just use the dining room to eat, if u have one! Easy peasy 😊 I love the dark kitchens, beautiful! The combo of white & dark is also gorg! Buon Apettito ❤

[@LisaHoltDesign]

I agree! It's all about creating a space that works for you. 😊

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

My dream space (incl lg dining area adjoined) will have beadboard halfway up kitchen area and 2/3 up eating area. With wallpaper above both, except for backsplash area. Dining area will have a shallow shelf topping the beadboard for display. I may hang chairs from under shelf also, on pegs. I have simple country style armless chairs that would match the beadboard wood. My table extends. I like the look of chairs hanging.

I get what you're saying. The concept of hiding the kitchen workspace behind a wall reminds us of corporate executive temp -living spaces in the '70s' and '80's. Think back to Diane Lane's temporary San Francisco divorce-apartment in Under The Tuscan Sun. No one wants that vibe, IMHO.

Some of these trends look SO dated to me! The hunter green and wallpaper is from the 90s! 😂

[@johnvogt6141]

I've been trounced before about white kitchens and I do realize it's a matter of taste. That said, we had a white kitchen in our first house because they were inexpensive. Hardwood cabinets are very expensive because hardwood is expensive and finishing hardwood is expensive. If I felt that my hardwood cabinets kitchen needed updating I might change the shade of the stain. Oak can turn a bit orange and some people like that. I like a darker stain on oak. Cherry kitchens look timeless and done right, oak can be stained to be close. White kittens remind me of a house built in the 50's to be inexpensive for people to buy. My dad used to find a piece of hardwood furniture being thrown out. He spent a lot of time to strip it off and finished it beautifully. Nothing can claim that the beauty of natural grain isn't timeless. A friend of ours succumbed to the trendy and painted her hardwood cherry chin cabinet white. Furniture homicide.

[@Lorimbc]

Lisa, HELP! I have knotty alder wood kitchen cabinets. They are yellowish and the style is from 15 years ago. The cost to replace the fronts is crazy expensive. I have asked about staining but can't find a company to do it. I have taken out the inside of a few doors and added ribbed glass. It helps a little but the style is outdated. I'm embarrassed to even bring anyone into my home. When people say paint the cabinets I never hear anyone saying Alder Wood. I changed the handles but maybe the wrong color. Can handles be painted or spray painted? I live near San Luis Obispo, CA. Thanks!

I currently have colour on the walls and ceiling of my kitchen but it is north-facing and very dark so did all of the cabinets and shelving white but it's not feeling right to me.

[@tescherman3048]

Is it efficient, practical and above all, beautiful? Answer yes to those questions and it doesn't matter one bit what the finishes or colors are. Because those are the real "timeless" issues. Popular trends to sell more things are irrelevant. Efficient - Does it work well with a minimum amount of frustration? Practical - Does it endure, give you the storage you need and allow for a great work flow? Beautiful - Does it bring you and others you welcome into your space happiness and joy?

[@lesliecruguet4136]

an 11 min video is now gummed up with 4 minutes of ads/sponsors.....so sad, never used to be this way. That said white has always been the color of choice because if you do any serious cooking (my kitchen is not simply a showpiece) then it needs to be CLEANED- and bleach and other semi harsh cleansers are the go to for a truly deep cleaned kitchen that isn't industrial steel... with white you don't have to worry about bleaching out fragile colors.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

White will ALWAYS be outdated & low budget in my world And beige or grey need to immediately be painted over in a COLOR or wallpapered. I love wallpapering a foyer and dining room and ofc, all the bedrms

[@katherinecorrell4817]

I just moved from California into a traditional house in the South East and dropped 25k into refurbishing the kitchen with white cabinets and marble quartz countertops, and I love it! Because of where the kitchen was located in the home and it’s natural light, I wanted the room lighter and brighter. (It was originally all dark brown. ) It has 12 foot ceilings, and dark hardwood floors, an oil rubbed bronze kitchen faucet and matching cabinet/drawer pulls that don’t get caught on clothing. Wrought iron traditional chandelier, and wrought iron ironwork over the baker’s pantry windows, there is a fresh classic feel to it without that old lady look some traditional homes have. The kitchen is so big, I could have added an island, but opted for a white washed table that can expand from 80” to 120” and fit my whole family for the holidays. My only regret is that the new huge refrigerator doesn’t fit within the cabinet, so I’m looking at buying a kit to cover it. I don’t consider white cabinets outdated in my home.

White kitchens came about due to Hollywood movies-bottom line-Something’s Gotta Give, The Holiday and It’s Complicated. The designer changed kitchens. My mouth dropped when I saw some of those kitchens and said someday….

If you keep your design classic it will never date.

Please… I was raised in the 60’s and we had a white farmers kitchen THEN, can we we say, not much is new….😂

I remember the audience gasping loudly when they saw Diane Keaton’s all white kitchen in something gotta give in 2003. That was the beginning of the trend for all white kitchens. Everyone wanted one.

May be in the US. Scandi kitchen were and are traditionally white.

Some of those kitchens look boring.

Kitchens should not be trends. Put in what you like and what is your style that you love.

White kitchens are so hard to keep clean with families. Yet colors or wood tones end up running their course within five years as well.

Please cite the proof. I would be interested to read your sources.

As long as white cabinets are sold in stock, white kitchens will be popular

Completely dark kitchens - just no
