I had honey oak cabinets. Plus tons of oak furniture. Also had dark tiled fireplace in adjoining family room. My house was so dark it literally made me depressed - especially in the winter. I updated to an all white kitchen, added more lighting, added two more windows in the family room, changed the fireplace to a light stone and changed my furniture. I love it all and one of my favorite things to do is to walk downstairs to my kitchen/family room in the mornings for coffee! It truly lifts my spirits each and every day 😊.
IMO: Keep it simple with neutral flooring, cabinet, backsplash and countertop in organic materials. Cabinet styles and colors go in and out of style. Create a kitchen YOU enjoy and that makes you smile. Add personalized pieces with color that you select because you love them: lighting, dishware, stools, plants, etc. for the wow factor. "have nothing in your home that is not functional or beautiful". I agree with the sentiment. Do not just think of "RESALE" if you live here you should love it!
Yes, timeless kitchens exist within homes that are really homes and not just a statement room where you eat take-out.
I love your down to earth and informative style. It seems design trends are changing more quickly with each passing year making timeless kitchen design even more important for those of us who will only do it once or twice in our lifetime.
I totally agree!
Very true.
Spot on with this video! Anyone who has visited France or England would see that the natural wood in the kitchen has been used for centuries and is timeless. Thank you for another great video :)
My Husband & I built a NEW HOME a year ago.
We chose a WHITE KITCHEN & we LOVE IT!!!
It’s not…high maintenance at all.
It’s definitely TIMELESS!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Which metal did you choose for your hardware?
@@nancyandjoel4134 ….We chose Chrome & Brushed Nickel in various parts of the home. In our opinion, it’s more clean & streamlined!!!😃🥰
Yes I won’t date either, you can introduce different colours to high light the white. Things like different colour appliances chairs stools, lighting those things you can change and replace, without spending too much money.
Cool! I just completed my new kitchen and my goal was timeless and from what you are saying, I nailed it! Thank you. While accents and decors are trends - these can easily be swap. The foundation should be timeless and resell value is maintained. Good luck everyone!
That's awesome!! Enjoy the new kitchen 😊 thank you for watching!
your black background library wall with that fairy light in is 😍
Best video on kitchen design I've come across all day, and I've watched many.
That is so kind, thank you!!
I didn't go with anything trendy and twenty years later It still works . The only thing i changed is the paint on the stove hood.
I’m lucky I guess that I’ve always liked timeless style kitchens…never desired any other style. In fact the more utilitarian…the more I love it. (Subway tile to ceiling…large middle island…etc). Thank You for all the hard work you put in your channel… really enjoy watching!
Thank you for watching!!
Subway tile is on its way to becoming dated.
@@jekalambert9412 Really?
I don't agree...
They remind me of being in the hospital !
I like your vibe. You don't talk like most designers...lol. just wanted to say that natural walnut as nice as it is new it yellows and looks like teak in no time. Needs an stain on it but even that doesn't stop it from bleaching out in sun. 18 years custom maker. My recommendation to clients is not to use in high sun areas
Thank you for the kind words! I had no idea about walnut doing that. Great to know, I love learning new tid bits like that! Thank you for sharing
We built in 1999 with a large kitchen, which was installed by a business that specializes in kitchens so we got the triangle and because we selected natural maple shaker cupboards it is still in style.
Thank you, this is the best kitchen video Ive seen. 😊
I painted my cabinets a light cream. Love it
Keith, I would like to paint my oak cabinets, but will the wood grain texture show through the paint?
I love your video. Great ideas! "Keep it simple " is the answer. Thanks
I think you should always start with understanding the architecture. If the kitchen is appropriate for the architectural style, I believe it will automatically have a timeless quality. You can of course contrast an old neoclassical villa with a modern kitchen and make it look amazing, but it risks looking dated down the line if you are not careful.
Also, always use real natural materials. No look-a-likes.
Absolutely, I have a lake house that is newly built in a contemporary/colonial style. Im decorating the inside as transitional/between traditional & mid century. As I want lots of wood/ and organic materials to bring the outdoors in. 🥰
Designing a 1910-20s kitchen w period appropriate cabinets (2 are from a similar old home), a classic white porcelain cast iron Kohler sink, and a classic Hoosier cabinet. My fridge is white and chrome, as is my b&w enameled stove from 1927 :))
Think I’m also nailing it; keeping it simple in wood, white, and chrome with a wood floor.
Hi, this is my first time here. I enjoyed the video; thanks. Applauded the outro.
I'll do everyone the favor of not going down the rabbit hole of a white kitchen.
On the topic of the kitchen work triangle, though, I'm going to say that in over 60 years, I've never lived in a house with an actual working triangle. That's around 30 kitchens. Some were already old when we moved in; where I live now was built in 2016, and I was the first tenant. It's a 1-wall kitchen (pantry, fridge, stove, sink, dishwasher, and the laundry closet) with an island that doesn't have an overhang wide enough to pull up a stool. In fact, not a single kitchen that I recall had anything recognizable as a kitchen working triangle. So maybe it's a concept that has nothing but anecdotal evidence backing its acceptance as gospel.
Having lived with a room that contained a sink (and attached porcelain drainboards on either side for about 15 inches with no other countertop - or cabinets), a gas stove (with no countertop anywhere and a 12" diameter hole through the wall for the fan), and a refrigerator (not supplied by the landlord) for almost 10 years, I recognize that nearly any plan is better than no plan at all. Mostly. There are exceptions to every rule.
I'll be looking for more of your style videos. It's my new subject of interest.
If you want a "timeless" kitchen, look at beautiful kitchens from the 80's/90's. If they still look timeless. then there you go. It's easy to spot the trends in retrospect.
Nice video. I wish people could learn to comment in a nice way
Great content, thank you!
Hot tip: If your timeless flooring is tumbled travertine, it will be beautiful for at most a few months - and then you'll spend the rest of your life on your hands and knees, scrubbing the grout with a toothbrush (with only minimal success). I tried product after product, home concoction after home concoction, and nothing ever really worked well enough. With most grout lines, particularly light grout lines, the initial look is fantastic, but it won't look that good for long.
Also, stone surfaces are very hard. Don't fall on a stone floor or you might break bones and, if you live in the US, have to declare bankruptcy. 😉
Thank you for sharing... eeek the USA Healthcare system sounds scary 😨
@@InteriorDesignHub It is scary. The largest cause of bankruptcy in ths country is medical bills. And even if you've purchased expensive insurance, you still never really know what it will cover. It is not unusual for people to be charged hundreds of thousands of dollars for a couple of weeks in the hospital. Unfortunately, the healthcare and drug industries bribe the politicians and sponsor all the national news programs. Soooo - at the end of the day, it is better to have soft flooring and padded walls LOL. 😀 I say, Viva vinyl floors! Viva Formica counters! Nothing says "timeless" like something that comes in a roll!
We made the same mistake. We actually ended up removing the travertine.
@@mistygirl3995 Yikes! And travertine ain't cheap to begin with, but to remove it must be horribly expensive.
One of the things that many first-rate interior designers (not the first-rate one in this video, though) do not to consider is function. Sure they create beautiful rooms, but how easy are those beautiful rooms to maintain? Residential architects and developers can be the same way. We don't all have our own cleaning staffs, after all - and houses with 12-ft walls are a pain to paint, heat, and cool. And don't get me started on the subject of marble. 😝
I hope that you replaced the travertine with something you really like, that will last, and is easy to maintain.
Not to mention, tile is harder for your back, and every item dropped shatters. Hard wood is the ticket!
I totally agree about marble or marble-look worktops with very pale, neutral veining. I think the current trend for busy, dramatic marble will go very out of date quickly, even if its expensive marble.
I don't want a neutral-looking kitchen. I want a HAPPY, joy-filled kitchen, so give me YELLOW!
That’s bold, but it could look fabulous.
I had a yellow kitchen and I hated it, it was harvest gold, super 70s but I do agree with wanting color. Beige is boring!
@@WomanRoaring Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yellow and green in combination are GORGEOUS!
Yellow is out, even when it was in.
@@Omar_Zazzle De gustibus........And three years ago, everything that was "in" was gray. So you can take your "in / out" dichotomy and shove it.
Thank you 😊👏😊
You're welcome 😊
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
awesome!
Very iusefull.
Great tips, as always! ❤️
Thank you!
I had my kitchen done 16 years ago and I am over it. It looks dated. Tasmanian Blackwood with a creme stone and a dark mushroom glass splash back and brushed silver oval handles. I like the layout. And it still looks in good condition. I dislike white kitchens because it’s not practical with kids. And all white is so boring and sterile. I like earthy colours for character.I would also love a real statement lighting. The lights we have now was nice at the time. My husbands motto is if ain’t broken, don’t fix it. Even he admitted our peach coloured, laminate bench tops old kitchen needed doing. But I don’t think I am going to convince him to change the bench top and cabinet doors and add a statement lighting. It won’t be as costly as a complete makeover. But he loves our kitchen, which I used to, so he will think I am mad. We did our bathrooms recently and they are beautiful. Grey, chrome with a touch of wood to give warmth. And faux plants completes the picture. Love, love.
Maybe you can change the backsplash, change hardware and paint the cabinets and it can update the look without redoing the entire kitchen.
Thankyou, great video, we are building a house and I’m looking to do a white/ off white cabinet. Can you give me some of your favorite timeless color suggestions that I might look into, thanks 😊
I love abalone from Benjamin Moore
@@InteriorDesignHub thankyou!
A kitchen is as timeless as you make it. Choose a style you like that is a good fit with your house, and keep it. It is a more affordable and more sustainable solution.
The first kitchen, the one suggested as a timeless kitchen, with so much marble and brass looks dated. I’m really over gray! I much prefer wood!
remember.. sink and stove are our most used .. keep them out of the island
hello sunshine how are you doing today I hope you are safe and sound in health ? merry Christmas 🤶 🎉
Yes, you see lots of sinks in islands but I don’t want anything in mine.
Sinks in an island when placed correctly works wonderfully. Keep the kitchen triangle for efficiency
Me too!
The range in my island is a must. I want to interact with my family when I cook, not have my back to them, but we all use our spaces differently.
I love shaker. my designer wants to do double upper cabinets with the top ones for things we rarely use storage and lower different depth( more shallow) for everyday use. She said it would look good to do flat front for the lower (still upper cabinet if you can follow my writing::!) and shaker on top. I am worried it will look weird to mix two styles on the upper? Plus is it weird to have the upper ones one depth and then have the ones right under it smaller?
This is the video I needed, thank you! We are looking into refreshing my mother’s kitchen. It is 8 years old, so everything is in great shape, but we want to paint the dark brown cabinets a lighter colour. I am leaning towards beige. We will also add task lights.
So glad this helped with the planning!! Happy reno!
And thank you for watching g
I think bright white handle-free cupboard doors will look dated.
I live in northern Europe, Dutch Design, Danish Design, Scandinavian Design have been minimalistic since..... protestant times i guess. So here, it hasn't been out of fashion for a while. Though, nothing lasts forever. But even handleless doesn't mean accents aren't possible. If a handle is created by manufacturing an opening, often a color is given by placing a colourfull rim, back panel or any other solution to give it an accent. Great thing about doing that is that changing color can be done by the owner in a jiffy at negligible cost.
The bright white handle-free doors have been one of the options my parents had back in the 80ies. If this will look dated it's not for a long time.
I agree. I like hardware.
Hi I came across your RUclips page and loved all that you had to share. I learned a lot. I am currently remodeling my kitchen and I would love to know your thoughts. I love a classic kitchen and I would like to know if large porcelain format tile white with very light marbleized print with Brooklyn slate shaker cabinets will look good. I see a lot of post with wood flooring but very little info on large format porcelain tile. I am stuck with what color counter top. Again I love the classic look. Thanks in advance Liz
Little Note about flooring throughout …In 2000 we build our new dream home and put lovely new oak floors throughout the main floor including kitchen,dining,living room eight years later the kitchen floors already needed refinishing - big busy family … and we all hang in the kitchen LOTS! Anywa long story short I wish I had put one piece of wood or threshold between the
rooms as we didn’t need to refinish everything! but it was required because of the seamless aspect of the floor- something to consider!
Very Good video
Thank you so much!
I wish you would have covered Backsplash, types and design patterns, thanks for your video.
Great suggestion!
oh, and the lower cabinets, wood tone is actually matching the floor wood tone. I like that a whole lot! ☺
My faucet and pot filler is matt black. My counters are white quartz with some veins. The cabinets are white. The island cabinets are black. My dilemma is the hardware. Which kitchen hardware do you think would look best? Brushed nickel, bronze, black, or brushed gold? I’m going for the modern look. Do you think my hardware has to match my faucet? I would appreciate your thoughts as I’m open to ideas. Please help. 😀 Thanks
My gut says brushed nickle:)
Mix up your hardware. It doesn’t need to match the faucet.
I have already finished my kitchen. It’s gorgeous !! Faucet and pot filler is Matt black and cabinet hardware is brushed gold. Thanks
Grout on kitchen floor sucks! I had slate floors in our house of 15yrs. Hated it past about 1 year after moving in.
Good to know! I've never had it myself...butnit looks so pretty. Thank you for sharing!
hello sunshine how are you doing today I hope you are safe and sound in health ? merry Christmas 🤶
There r do many easy cleaners to clean grout..
Yes, but it can be cleaned. I don’t understand how a wood floor can be kept in good shape in a kitchen with all the water used in this room. Dog’s drinking bowl and the resulting drips as well as drips from washing dishes and veggies. I don’t want to be wiping up the floor 50 times a day.
We have the tile countertops which I didn’t even really like in 2005 when we bought the house but we couldn’t afford the marble, granite. I absolutely hate them now. We keep talking about changing them but never quite do it because of cost which post COVID has skyrocketed. One of the drawbacks is getting crumbs etc out of the grout lines…real nuisance. I agree the grout situation really sucks!
Totally off topic: Your glasses are fantastic. Can you share the brand?
Awe, thank you! They are from Michael Kors 😊
There’s nothing trendy about my home…it’s a 150 year old farmhouse. Our kitchen rebuild includes existing wood floors, butcher block counters (maybe), and pale lint green glass subway tile backsplash.
Simple. Simpler. Simplest. I was confused by your description of the mission design , which was variously described as arts and crafts, simpler and traditional. Huh?
timeless = no personality = boring. also, nothing is timeless. in 10 years these white, simple kitchens will be outdated. let's stop designing our homes for the next buyer and start designing our homes with the colors and materials that will bring us joy. life's too short.
agree
The "Flipper" mentality is still alive. People won't stay put.
I completely agree!
I’m all about resell value. Lol All I think about is functional, neutral components and storage in a kitchen. I add different colours and lots of personality with texture, interesting decor and of course, influenced by the current season. Love the natural wood look blended with a neutral tone which adds warm and comfort versus an all white, sterile looking kitchen.
Agree 100%. The problem in America especially is the resale factor. They are alway telling you to stay neutral for better resale value. I'm so glad I live in a home that I will not be selling, so I don't care about these things anymore. I'm having more fun decorating my forever home😊
😊
What about timeless backsplash? I was thinking subway tile but couldn't think of anything else.
Oh please not beige, white yes, I don’t think white dates. Nice silver or black handles for me. Thank you I think this is a great most helpful video.
Thanks for this. My goal was to create a timeless kitchen, and based on this video, I believe I have.
Tiny knobs are the enemy of old people hands. Arthritis makes them hard to use.
We are renovating our home we just purchased and it currently has 10 year old dark walnut hand scraped engineered hardwood flooring throughout whole first floor. I really want to tear it out and put in a lighter medium toned oak floor that is so popular right now to brighten up our home. We have all white walls (SW alabaster). The contractor thinks we are crazy to rip it out but I'm really struggling to make a decision. Another contractor said he would keep the current floors because he thinks the lighter floors will disappear with the white walls we have and likes the current contrast. I want a timeless look not trendy. Do you have any advice (new flooring fits in the budget)?
Sand the floor and use a lighter stain.
It would be sad to pull those floors out.They must be beautiful.
We kept the darker floors, so happy we did! :) @@leecaldwell3678
I keep hearing that white is timeless but I'm skeptical since I've only been seeing white kitchens for the past decade or so. I'm used to natural wood cabinets.
I had just bought a new townhome. I want to remodel the kitchen it’s kind of on the small side. I’ve lived with it for two years and I know what I don’t like and what I need. I need more storage on I have white cabinets I don’t want white cabinets again because I find this difficult to keep them clean on the outside. I also would like some thing that I know more I won’t have to change again that I’m only going to do ones if I get tired of the curtains. I can change the curtains if I get tired of the paint color I can change then color but I’m not going to change the cabinets or the flooring or the backsplash or the appliances. Those are both expensive. How do I go about finding the right cabinets that I can keep for a long period of time, and not worry about it becoming outdated and having to change them again.
It's hard to say for sure, because our tastes always change. But I would say as a recommendation a warm mid tone wood for your cabinets. Happy kitchen planning! That will be fun to transform!
Is there a hidden rule that a U shaped kitchen should have stove, sink and Fridge spread across each side of the U? I couldn’t manage that and was wondering if I violated a basic design code 😂.
You're not investing, you're spending. Understand that from the get go.
ok dokie... thank you for your thoughts
Anything that drops on a tile or stone floor, SHATTERS! I hate my tile floor.
How can 3 fixtures in 1 room not form a triangle? Even the 1 wall kitchen shows a shallow triangle. It amuses me that we want our handles to match in our house, but not our furniture.
Countertops, IMO, are where I want expression…floors and cabinets are secondary. White and/or lightly-veined cloudy quartz counters are boring to me….for what, to say it’s “timeless”?
The problem is "designers" who say what is and isn't on trend. All anybody has to do is look at European kitchens that truly are timeless & will never be out of style.
Half of these are way too modern. Nothing timeless about them
dont like any of those they seem too cold and sterile
Thank you. I love lots that you have said, but am getting a bit exasperated by all the talk (which has been going on since before you were born to be fair) about kitchen 'triangles'. Surely this is a truism? Every kitchen I've ever seen has a kitchen triangle, so surely it's meaningless designer hogwash; indeed it is almost impossible to conceive of a design that doesn't have a triangle! You'd need to have a double island or something!
It's funny...I actually have seen a kitchen without the triangle. I guess technically it was, but it was so displaced and awkward that in my opinion, was non functional.
But only 1
And they designed it themselves.
Sooo I think for the non designers still a valuable lesson to chat about.
😚
These timeless kitchens you’re showing are very 2020.
I may be in the minority here but I don’t see white kitchens as classic or timeless at all. It’s a trend and that seems obvious by looking back and seeing that white was RARELY chosen 15, 20, 30 etc years ago. I mean, it can be pretty but it will look dated like every other color in a few years…if not already.
Only time will tell:)
In with you. I love wood cabinets
I disagree..when metal cabinets were in style they were mostly white..look back at them..and that was what? 50 years ago
@@bjbo72 Yea, it was a trend 50 YEARS AGO!! Trends always go in and out of style. Doesn’t make them timeless. Makes them a DATED TREND. Just like light oak is coming back. It was done many, many years ago and now it’s coming back.
White cabinets will stay until or unless wood floors go out of style. Wood cabinets look awful with wood floors.
WHAT? You're just showing us the latest trends in timeless kitchen.
No such thing as a timeless kitchen. Styles change every 15 years.
@butchnoneed4883 It really is for people who don’t follow trends. Also depends on the buyers style and the quality of things used. Like a vintage pair of jeans always comes back in style.
And who cares if styles change if you like it.
I'm still trying to figure out how 3 major fixtures in one space could Not form a triangle.
@@murielbaith5445 The concern is how far apart the appliances are.
@Stephanie Ray in my house, everything is too close together. And there is no help for it...small kitchen. But the same thing still applies. Triangle...
How about timeliss kitchens being not about the remodeling...but, the memories. Get over this dated crap and buying into this materialistic crap.
No...
Great video, but I was distracted by your pronunciation of "aesthetic": ruclips.net/video/iq3oWHBwUgM/видео.html&ab_channel=CambridgeDictionary
Thank you
Beige is sooooo boring
boring
Painted cabinets are not a timeless classic. They are a trend of which is a loss of value in home. I would never purchase a home with painted kitchen cabinets.
Changing hardware means matching the old holes or making new holes ans covering old ones. Pick the hardware carefully.
You’re amazing! Thank you for all of this!!!!
Your welcome. Thank you for the kind words
"Timeless" doesn't exist. What you describe is mediocrity - i.e., so banal and predictable that it could exist anywhere as a meaningless backdrop to the hypothetical "average" person who may occupy the home. It's your home. Make it look like your home and stop worrying about resale value.
Each person has their own tastes.
I'm so sick of white kitchens. I think off-white is the new white. It's warm and inviting and beautiful. Much more beautiful than stark white kitchen cabinets.
Totally fair. I am loving the taupes and Mushroom tones right now 😀
It seems that most decorating should be according to the likes of the person paying for it and living in it. It is wise to be traditional to the style of the house to provide the longest time for it to look fairly up-to-date.
great video
Thanks!
