Hiding the microwave or lowering it may look better but seems super inconvenient 👀

@angelayoung5798 Год назад

FUNCTION goes first!!!

@waynefox6615 Год назад

Agree, a kitchen is the main operation center of a home, function over design every time.

@honeytranful Год назад

There are these new microwaves where you pull it out like a drawer so it opens from the top

@5mullys Год назад

I totally agree with you on all of these trends except the nursery/kids rooms. My son is 8 and wants a room full of airplanes, to include an airplane ceiling fan. He dreams of being a pilot. He won't be 8 forever and if it makes him happy, then I'm all for it. I want his space to to spark joy and creativity. I can transition the room when he outgrows it.

@KristenMcGowan Год назад

Absolutely!! If your kids have something in mind for their own space go for it!! I remember my parents letting me do whatever I wanted to my room and it made me so happy! Just sharing trends I’ve been noticing in design! 😊

@helene420 Год назад

I think this is true for kids a little older like yours, when they are infants/toddlers, if I had kids, I'd keep the wall colors simpler until they were old enough and ready to personalize it. My sister wanted a mural w rainbows all along one wall at some point and it was really fun creating that. Eventually we painted over it when she was tired of it.

@hikingwiththedog6078 Год назад

And if he does grow up to be a pilot, he'll thank you for having been so supportive of his goals! I'm from a family of pilots, I admire your son's dreams!

@ashab2003 Год назад

@helene8814 I totally agree with you. Kids rooms should be fun and full of character that reflects the child. However I understand the designer’s point of view.

@trevnti Год назад

@@helene420 a good between is neutral wall color plus the peel and stick murals/art work. We kept all the walls a neutral/warm white we just added peel and stick murals from etsy (one took up a whole wall), when we wanted to change it, a blow dryer and it peeled right off.

@wisteria808 Год назад

Not getting rid of my wall niches -- I use them to highlight some very dramatic black-and-white photography in my 17 ft. foyer. The niche areas are framed in wood, and I have the backs painted matte-black, with lighting. It's actually stunning and one of the features of my home that is complimented most.

Can you kindly share pictures as I’ve been looking for ideas ? Ty so much

@jeanking161 Год назад

I moved my microwave to below and it is completely impractical-think twice before taking that step to update your kitchen. The microwaves that are inserted below are typically several inches shorter, so many containers won’t fit (Starbucks Venti cup for instance). Agree it’s a more pleasing look, but everyone in the family was annoyed and unhappy with the microwave below within two weeks.

@despinakyraleos2234 Год назад

and over the range could be too high for some people ( me) . I find on the counter is best ( buy a cute retro one) until you have a major reno, and have your designer somehow place it in a place that is practical.

@tinamoore5497 Год назад

Mine is in the cabinet below , and it is a standard size , I I love it!

@claudiakarl7888 Год назад

Mine is above the oven (which is already placed at a convenient height), I love that solution. Both devices are integrated in a high cabinet. An usual solution in Germany.

@vaderladyl Год назад

I like mine over the range, best location for me.

@justanothergigi Год назад

Most microwaves are not supposed to be put in a cabinet. One of the examples in this video shows one that could have ventilation issues and void any warranty. Very few are built to be placed in a cabinet if they aren't the drawer type.

@lauradevries7033 Год назад

Kristen, I agree with all but one of your Suggestions and that is the microwave over the cooktop. Our home is a 1000 sq ft midcentury modern with a tiny kitchen. Cabinets are limited so there is no option to use a cabinet to hide the microwave. We debated even keeping the microwave when we did our kitchen renovation. Decided to keep, our only option was above stove. It doesn’t date our kitchen at all and is very convenient.

@divitiae Год назад

Agreed - I have a very small kitchen in an apartment. I'd rather use cabinet space and countertops for practical storage and use, rather than fitting an aesthetic.

@brendapyron459 Год назад

I'm a person that has very specific ideas about what I like and couldn't be less interested whether it's "in" or not. For instance in Texas where it can reach 110 degrees in summer I would never not have ceiling fans. To each his own I guess.

@marenkendall7413 Год назад

@marian1633 Год назад

My problem is I dont like modern and love outdated. But most people like more modern I think, so if I wanted to sell my home I would modernise. But I m not selling so I keep it like it is.

@phangirlable Год назад

Same. Or rather, I like timeless styles like and eclectic mix of Victorian (and a bit of the morbid/Gothic), 50s - 70s classics and neutral modern. I don't know what that would be called, I just know I don't follow home trends. lol

@leeleemaggs1347 Год назад

😄 then there is no problem. 🙂

@michellebarnett4994 Год назад

I have a mix of French country, mixed wood furniture, and a little farmhouse. I don't do trendy generally. I just have fun with what I enjoy. I don't own a tiered tray or dough bowl and don't plan to, and no darn grey!!!😂😻

@marievogt4705 Год назад

Kitchens are very expensive to update, so even if you do update with a more trendy look after about 5 years, it too will be dated. Change out your decor. Use a different color scheme maybe paint. These are all things you can do to freshen up your space without spending a fortune.

@sarge7526 Год назад

Is it called “updating” or “keeping up with ……” Maintenance updates and upgrades… I can definitely agree with…but trying to keep up with latest trends… will keep you spending money

@laurettaberger442 Год назад

I have one niche in my house and I love it! I think the problem is when a house has too many! 😊

@dawnt5587 Год назад

I was prepared to not agree with you on most things but I agree with you on everything. However, our microwave is above our stove and we bought our house fully remodeled. There is no where else for it to go. My husband has seen microwaves in the lower cabinets but doesn’t like it because it’s awkward to use. So, I guess it’s staying above the stove.

@KristenMcGowan Год назад

Yes it’s definitely a good space saving decision for kitchens lol I have a microwave above my stove too!! I just look at it everyday wishing it wasn’t installed there lol!

@9384cows Год назад

Not only that but when there are tall people in your house it is hard to bend over or stoop and mist importantly to read the controls. We just remodeled and put the microwave in its own cabinet right above the pot and pan cabinet. I put a gorgeous hood over my stove and everything looks great. I designed it all myself and everyone wants to know who my decorator is.

@MyFocusVaries Год назад

I've always wondered how it works practically. If you're cooking on the stove top, I feel like it's a bit of a hazard reaching over that to use the microwave. Our microwave is in a mid upper cupboard and I still feel that lifting a bowl of hot liquid down is a minor hazard. I'm thinking that for a future update, the microwave could be in an appliance garage at counter height.

@CathyS_Bx Год назад

My back aches just picturing a microwave in a low cabinet! In a small apt. galley kitchen like mine, above the stove is the only workable place.

@dawnt5587 Год назад

@@MyFocusVaries I’m 57 and have not had a problem once with using the microwave while cooking on the stove. Also, the microwave is not so high up that you can’t easily remove items. Maybe if you are really short it could be an issue.

Microwaves installed down below is the most ridiculous design flaw EVER

@rebeccarendle3706 Год назад

You can have a "theme nursery or kids room" which depicts THE KIDS INTERESTS and has longevity!... just keep the core big pieces neutral ie.. white walls, wood floors, white or light wood furniture... then change up the pictures, bedding, rug etc for the kids interest.. my kids went from baby Winnie-the-poo theme to Wickie the Vicking, to Cars, to Minecraft, to StarWars, to Avengers and finally to a non-theme young adult room as teenagers. I never changed out the walls, floors and furniture... just the soft furnishings and accessories. .. White walls, wooden floors and good quality wooden furniture (we like light in northern Europe/Scandinavia) is a must in ALL rooms of the house.. keeping it light and avoiding "trends" that you can get tired of and that make your home dated.

@blackwaltz2363 Год назад

The "high end designer kitchen" look is for people who don't cook. For people who actually use their kitchens daily, convenience and having everything within arms reach is considerably more "modern" than hiding everything for the sake of appearance.

@user-cy6vi2pp2n Год назад

I think often designers are excellent on giving advice on trends and styling a space, but most don't think enough about practicality or sensory needs that people may have. It has to work for you. I think so much of the modern designs are going minimalist and "greige" which ends up being monotone. I love the resurgence of maximalism I've been seeing online and the unique ways people come up to make their home feel like "them". Nothing lasts it seems! Give this all 6-8 years and it all ends up looking ridiculous too lol

@doloresleonard2227 Год назад

As a pediatrician, several of your nursery pictures made me shudder, specifically those with a picture wall or several framed pictures right above or next to the crib. Decor is one thing; creating possible dangers for curious toddlers is something else. Ditto to attached wall shelves that children can try to climb. Just don't!

@surpriseitsus9622 Год назад

Thank you, as a retired paramedic, I agree 👍

@winniejack2492 Год назад

I have a lot cause my home was built I 2006. I don’t plan to renovate. Any home u get will eventually get dated and who knows the trend will come right back. Keeping up with the jones will overtime cost. Best to keep your home updated with decor and clean.

@vaderladyl Год назад

I agree.

@marybedwell4065 Год назад

100% agree

@tiffanyvaughan Год назад

I went with neutral for all 3 of my kids nurseries. I kept the wall colors either white or a soft grey and then used framed pictures, blankets, sheets and stuffed animals to give a “theme”. Now that my kids are growing out of the more baby/toddler themes, it’s going to be super easy to change the look of their bedroom. A color consultant tried to talk me into painting my daughters nursery a pink color and I’m so glad I didn’t follow her advice. I’ve added plenty of color through wall decor and blankets and pillows and it will be a breeze to update as she gets older.

@hejiranyc Год назад

Totally disagree with hiding the microwave. If you have a sleek, well-designed microwave, show it off. And in the modern age, it’s the most used appliance in the kitchen and should be placed where it is most convenient -at eye level in the “triangle.”

@ginabrow9896 Год назад

Just redid our kitchen and put the microwave above the range 😅 I agree with you!

@willsx2 Год назад

Not to mention, not all kitchens are built to be able to vent outside or downdraft. It seems that in a small kitchen, taking up valuable cabinet or counter space with a microwave is also a problem

@chrysvest4746 Год назад

I love almost every tip you mentioned, with the exception of the microwave over the stove. I love mine there and wouldn’t change it. As far as nurseries go, trends change so, even though I love a neutral nursery now, kids are going to want a change down the road no matter what you do.

@shockwave1126 Год назад

Same here. If they're lower- more prone to spilling. Plus kids/dog might come near it as you take hot food out- yea, no.

@psyche8187 Год назад

A wall niche is great. Sure, they were really popular during a certain time. But they can be great. We have two that are useful for two reasons. 1. The one downstairs is in the foyer and allows for the bench for drop-off stuff to be recessed rather than blocking the flow of traffic. 2. The one upstairs is also in a hallway and it has a deep ledge. It’s between the kids rooms, so we can use it as a drop off point if needed. We have a row of books and usually a vase of flowers on it too. They are definitely a plus. The only wall niches that I think are dumb are the dust-catchers that are way too high to be useful for anything.

@dianayukindez7857 Год назад

Actually, in Sweden we don´t have wall nishes in our walls, so we see it like a luxury to have in a house. Thats one of the reason we use IKEA Kallax everywhere to sort of create that feeling of shelfs on a wall.

I have two brass strips around my fireplace which I like because I have vintage mahogany and cherry furniture with older lamps that have touches of brass on them. I could easily remove the brass strips because they are just magnetized, but I prefer the look of the brass trim. Our home had been updated throughout when we bought it 6 months ago, but it still has the brass doorknobs, which I like. Previous owner also had a few brass wall switchplates which I've kept. I love some brass trim, what used to be called Williamsburg polished brass. To me it is timeless especially if you have older ultra traditional furniture. I do understand younger people's desire to be very modern, just not for me.

I updated our fireplace a few years ago by painting the bricks white,and used the black fire-resistant spray paint on the surround. What a tremendous difference, it truly helped sell the house. I will caution anyone using the spray paint that there is a huge amount of overspray, so plan on putting tarps on every inch of flooring, the brick/stone, etc., and cover all furniture/decor items that are within ten feet of the FP.

I love the inlay cabinets.

@ShelleB Год назад

I totally agree with you about the cabinets above a peninsula. My in-laws have that arrangement and I’m always stooping to talk to them through the available space. However, they have nowhere else to put all of the stuff that’s in those cabinets so they will remain in place. It would take a major reno to reconfigure and they won’t do that.

@kimberlindy Год назад

My in-laws have that as well, as well as every possible outdated kitchen item. It's like a 1979 time capsule.

Hi Kristen, love your videos! I agree with all except the kitchen cabinets idea you mentioned. We just re-did our entire kitchen and three bathrooms and they finished last week. I picked out the exact ones you mentioned dated a home. They look spectacular! I love the detail and I think it gives the cabinets character.😍

@despinakyraleos2234 Год назад

most people would not know which to choose unless they see this video!

@jessicaripko Год назад

Totally agree. I just commented this. The photos she showed for the outdated standard overlay were super outdated kitchens. Why did she not show a modern kitchen with standard overlay doors? We did white shaker in standard overlay and it looks super modern but also classy and timeless. 😊

@conniesisco6468 Год назад

Agreed. I have custom maple with standard overlay cabinets and they’re beautiful.

Inset cabinets are a nightmare for nicks and scratches.

Thank you for sharing these tips. We are removing the cabinet as you suggested and are in the process of getting new cabinets. What cabinet colors would you suggest for a small kitchen?

Our easy fix to cover a wall niche was to run barn wood planks lengthwise over the entire wall. Easy peasy! And now we have a beautiful accent wall.

I love when you do these videos!!! Keep it up. Wondering about sliding glass doors vs a shower curtain for a bathtub…. I feel like the track on the bathtub is so old but…. What’s the new trend?

@TheThriftyGma Год назад

I'm 68, and wondering how many 60 and over keep up with trends? Over the years we have rented, built and bought about a dozen homes. Never did I walk into a home and notice what was or wasn't trendy. Is this a generational thing?.... or are there seniors of the same trending mindset? I just find it interesting to know.

@vaderladyl Год назад

Nope. Looks that way because of all the info out there bombarding us constantly with feedback about decor. And only this newer generation is obsessed about looks over quality. The main population,regardless of age, doesn't notice things until they are told by these videos. And older generations tend to go for quality and classic timeless rather than quantity and trendy, flash in the pan things.

@wisteria808 Год назад

My husband and I are both retired, and at this age I want to spend my money on travel, dining out, gifts for children and grandchildren -- not on the treadmill of staying "on trend." Sure, I'll do updates involving paint and accessories, but I am not ripping out cabinets, granite, etc. Plus, it's not good for the environment -- wasteful.

@vaderladyl Год назад

@@wisteria808 I agree, I cannot stand all the unnecessary wastefulness to keep up with trends, which is a societal construct imposed on people, not an essential thing for our survival.

@psyche8187 Год назад

I’m a millennial, and this is definitely a generational thing. I really regret that my generation seems to never be satisfied with the good things they have. Myself included. I speak to my grandmother about this all the time. She never “updated” her 1970s home, but has always kept it very well and it’s still beautiful. I am really trying to follow her and not be influenced by videos like this. And yet, here I am. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@jessicaripko Год назад

When you were talking about inset cabinets vs overlay you showed shaker style for the inset but showed super outdated cabinets for the standard. We chose standard because it was what we could afford, but in the shaker style. It still looks really modern and also timeless. I feel like the photos you are showing are definitely skewing viewers to your opinion. 🫠

Home is not just a place, it's a feeling. It's where we share love, laughter, and create memories that last a lifetime. Let's make our homes a reflection of who we are and what we love."
