Yes all for closed storage!
Totally agree on hiding the trash can & recycling bin! Game changer! I Wish I had more drawer space, limited on that, so I do have the stoneware crock out with wooden utensils! My pantry is a life saver for storing countertop appliances! I only bring them out when I am using them, they immediately go back in the pantry after use. Great tips Valentina!❤
Doesn't your cabinet stink? 🤮
I totally get the no clutter in the kitchen. ❤ If there is a mess, I have to clean before I start! I'm a closed cupboard girl! 😂
Decorating with a small herb garden is pretty and useful. You can have fresh herbs for cooking
Love that idea! Do you have them all in one container or multiple?
@@terrikinley9167 I have 3
We redid our kitchen 12 years ago. Open concept to rest of living space. We intentionally used closed storage, but installed a larger window to not feel closed in with upper cabinets. In-cabinet garbage. Small appliance garage for coffee pot, toaster, juicer. Special slots in drawers for knives. I have plants and salt and pepper shakers on cabinets. AND (not in your ideas) one very special decorative plate from Blackberry Farm that we obtained from our 25th anniversary. It is our artwork in the room. Also, the baskets and bins are wonderful in an enclosed pantry and cabinetry for organization. Labeled.☺
I'm a professional organiser and there's definitely different types of organisation for different personalities 😊
I have friends who use the top of their refrigerator for food storage, boxes of cereals, cookies, chips, boxes of rice, ugh, drives me crazy, I always have to look away. I compromised and bought an IKEA cabinet with glass doors, and keep my baking items in there in glass containers. I don’t leave anything out either, expect maybe fruit.
Same!!! Stacked Tupperware on fridge gets me too. 😊
Absolutely love not having clutter in the kitchen. Just ordered a sponge basket to "hide" it in the sink in our newly renovated kitchen - that was the only thing that was bothering me about our sink - thank you Valentina!!
No you are NOT crazy . . . I am so on the same page with you in my kitchen! Loved to hear your confirmation of how to keep an appealing kitchen!!!!
Closed storage for me but I love my lavender kitchenaid. That stays out ❤
That sounds like a fun thing to have out!
I’m with you!! I recently took off that magnetic bar that holds knives. I was so tired of looking at them all hanging there. It gives me such a calm peaceful feeling!!
“…whose house do you people think you’re living in” 🤣🤣🤣 THIS IS ME!
Your kitchen is gorgeous. The absence of upper cabinets makes it spacious, something I would love to do. My counters have 3 coffeemakers, a toaster, Kitchen Aid mixer, food processor and blender (I use them all daily). I live in an old house with little storage so I am looking for a large cabinet/pantry.
Thanks so much! 😊
Maybe an armoire style cabinet if there is some space for it.
My hubs brings home donuts from work all the time and the Krispy Kreme boxes sit there in the clean, (trying to be) minimal kitchen. I'm so getting a cloche for that! Also, we have the built-in trash and it really is a game-changer... Now, off to declutter my utensil canister! 😆
Update: Got the cloche from Tarjay!👍
There are sooooooo many things I've learned here. If and when we build I WILL do things differently. That's the time to make changes with hubby that don't seem soooo drastic. I have a great walk in pantry....thank goodness. It is a game changer. Now I need to look at my kitchen with a different set of eyes and make it look beautiful...some place I want to be!!
Jack next time paint the package black and white and pop a Greek key sticker on it and you’ll be right! Love all the plants and art in the kitchen, it’s gorgeous. No to open shelves and yes to hiding bins. Microwave has to be at bench height as I use it every day. Love drawers over cupboards. No to drawers inside of drawers or inside cupboards. I find if one thing is left on the bench by morning it’ll have multiplied to dozens.
😂 Made me laugh...Paint the bag of chips black 👍😉
I am 100% in agreement with everything you said in this video! Everything is put away in my kitchen and I have always done this! I cannot stand clutter!
I’ve gotten comments like that do you ever cook so I did a blog showing me cooking. I absolutely dislike a messy kitchen or dishes in the sink I will not go in there until it’s cleaned. The kitchen looks very minimal and clean.
Who the hell cleans your kitchen then??? Must be nice to "not go in there when it's dirty"!!!🤨
I love this! Please do a video how to style open shelves in a kitchen. I have them and I have never been happy, like you I do not like things out. Love your style!
Here I am while watching the video, putting away my cutting boards, clearing my counters, and seeing if there is room under the sink for a small garbage can. 😂
Me too, on the garbage can!😂
Wish you would have panned over & showed the inspiring pantry cabs you have.
Love how you laugh at yourself. 🥰
Beautiful advice Valentina! About to move and setup my new kitchen! I added a few open shelves in the corner because it was just too much cabinetry. However, I agree with your glassware tip on shelves… can’t stand it. I will prob go the route of plants and art and some books and a few canisters.. but this video def gave my brain food for thought! I love functional decorating and I have tons of plants.. and they are def gonna liven up my kitchen like yours are!!
I agree with her 100 percent I like simple open clean.
Lovely kitchen! Fist time here, you are quite the vibe, and I'm sure your clients enjoy working with you. Learnt some good tips from your mistakes thanks! 🙂
❤️. We now eat different to even a few years ago, when cooking took up a lot of time. So this video is quite inspirational - already do some of this. In-cabinet garbage… no brainer before. But, now in Central Florida… I have had to do a 180.
Sold our home and moved back into our 1/16th size loft...I cook EVERY Meal. Egads, we have no drawers. When I lived here before it wasn't an issue. Put it within reach on the counter. What is the difference? I have since been "House of Valentina-ized" 🖤
What does that mean exactly? PRETTY I want pretty! Trying to find things that can sit out (I NEED THAT MARBLE S & P set you have there!) and things that can be decanted, but some just "decan't be!" 😂 Solution, TOSS EM! Thanks V, you have created a more beautiful aesthetically pleasing living space for me! Even if only in my head! XO
I absolutely love the way you have styled this - so fresh and elegant
LOL, one of many reasons I got divorced. haha. Every single time I went in to cook, I had to freaking clean the kitchen first because he'd go in and make a snack and make a mess and dishes in the sink (with the dishwasher RIGHT THERE) and I was just over it. Now my house is always clean with minimal effort, I sleep peacefully with no snoring nearby, and I can decorate however I want. Honestly it's the way to go. haha (Keep Jack though, he's a keeper, unlike most). I'm with you though, gotta put things in cabinets instead of out. I hate looking at the clutter and it's always in my way.
My kitchen is very minimal now. I have a couple lamps, a plant and a candle for decor. But I love it- it is so easy to clean!
I love having my garbage drawer! I used to think it was gross too but I am a convert as well. Never going back. When we redid our kitchen I also had in counter soap dispensers (is that the correct term?) that match my faucet put in and I feel like it really keeps the area feeling less cluttered too.
I love your channel, you radiate joy and life and I always have something new to take away from your videos.
I’m the same way … when I’m ready to cook, then I take out everything I need and when done, put away! I struggle with the utensils. I try to put away and keep hidden, just sometimes (often) forget and there they are🤦🏻♀️ in plain sight. It’s a work on progress! Thanks V … nice video. ❤
Totally agree with you. I only have pretty ( very minimal) things on top of my counters. Hate, hate kitchen clutter!
I have all open shelving with only 2 upper seeded glass front cabinets. I display the beautiful dishware and glassware that I have collected over the years on the shelves, along with pottery, platters etc. It is done in an organized way and I love looking at my collections. Yes, it gets dusty on the upper shelves that I can't reach all the time but, I climb up there and dust it! My most beautiful things are behind the seeded glass cabinets and they look so pretty slightly obscured behind the glass. My countertops are pretty minimal, no appliances or utensils out, just a few nice plants so, that keeps things calm. One thing though, I could never cook with a big pot and plant next to my stove! Is that a faux plant? If not, how does it handle being next to a hot stove? And, do you mind if I ask, what is your countertop material? Your counters look so crisp and clean!
Valentina, you are so point on. I am not quite there but close. For more storage, I am getting rid of things I have not used in years. For me, less is more. Thank you........
Great video! We built out trash in the cabinet over 20 years ago! I was worried about mess and smell but I’ve found that you keep up on it when it’s confined😂 never had a problem
I'm the same way with every room, even my desk at the office! Love starting my cooking or even making coffee with a clean, empty countertop!
I do not like open shelves in a kitchen but I understand why people do. My cabinets are closed. My kitchen is a decent size. I do have enough countertops to have some items out but I try to have it be things we actually use. I have my coffee maker on my counter top, a beautiful cutting board that my dad made that I actually use. I keep my bread in a basket and I always have a fruit bowl out for the kids. I have a couple plants on my windowsill. My artwork is near the kitchen but not actually in it because I spent a lot of money on a beautiful backsplash tile and I want to be able to see it. We added a trash can pull out when we updated our kitchen and I love it.
I'm the same, a few nice things out, a plant, a bowl of fruit or even better a 3 tier dish with fruit, some cooking books, some art, a beautiful kettle, and everything else behind closed doors! I do have 2 cabinets with glass doors (wood doors would have made the kitchen look smaller) but with only white plates & dishes nicely stacked. The less visual clutter, the better, I totally agree! Thank you Valentina.
Can you do a detailed video of your kitchen before and after it was originally updated after you bought your home?
I agree with you on everything! And I almost got it all right myself lol, yay! Except the garbage can and the art. I even put my dish soap and sponge and spray bottle in cabinet after each use, so much nicer not seeing it all, it's not a big deal to grab it once a day and put it back. And I also make sure whatever left out is pretty, like marble salt pepper Sellars and a small lamp. I have a very small kitchen, so I find it very refreshing when nothing is out, it makes it feel more manageable and bigger to be honest
Thanks Valentina for this video and for validating that there are others out there like me :). I have been questioned by relatives visiting our home about why I only have pretty things on the kitchen counters. I thrive on things being put away and organized and visual clutter drives me crazy! I love your beautiful kitchen and have added large artwork and pottery to ours as well. Love you videos so much friend💗
I don't have enough cabinets for everything so my utensils are out and my knives are in a block. But it just comes down to the number of cabinet drawers I have. Same with trash I have a combo trash and recycling out an proud.
But I also have art from my favorite Nordic photographer and a lamp and plants/flowers. My house is a 1929 bungalow/cottage and I like a little bit of country overall I guess a bit eclectic
The kitchen looks so good and the art is beautiful behind You 💝
Valentina don't want to over fill my home and certainly don't want to see everything. Very calming.
I'm short, I can barely reach the bottom shelf of an upper cabinet so I decided if I ever do have my own place, all upper cabinets must go. All I need would be 6 double size drawers for everything, apart from food. I used to like things out on the counters but over the last few years I've changed and now I try to find ways to store pretty much everything in a cupboard. All I have out is my water filter, bread maker and electric kettle and unfortunately the utensils beside the stove top.
I have never seen the trashcans sitting out, we Scandis like a tidy look, the refridgerators, dishwashers, everything are built into the cabinets. 🙂 I have cookbooks on a shelf on the wall, and the smeg toaster is on display, as I use it every morning.
Love your comment! It’s true! Our heritage is all from Finland and most people I grew up around in the the states were also Finnish and we are a very tidy people.
This was SO helpful!
I love this video!! I just renovated my kitchen (pink cabinets because I love pink) and this is so helpful!! ❤ I love your personality and your laugh. You made my day 🥰🎉
I have a very minimal amount of items on my bench top. Including no utensils or species on my benchtop. Making it easier to clean.l also have my bin tucked away, too.😊
Thank you. I’m in the process of redesigning my kitchen. Goals to aim for.
I love your kitchen - makes me want to sit and drink wine… but I also love kitchens like Alison Roman (she’s not a designer but does cooking videos) because her kitchen is so homey and inspires cooking… polar opposites but I see the beauty in both!
Oh thank you!
I didn’t want the pull-out trash cabinet when I renovated my kitchen six years ago as it seemed a waste of space, but it somehow slipped by and was installed. Now I’m sold on it. P.S. When I was first married decades ago, we lived in the attic of an old house-48 steps up and the fridge was in a “pantry” off of the single counter kitchen.
Aha!!! This was just what I needed to finish out my kitchen remodel 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So glad!
Love your kitchen. So beautiful
I've always had pull out garbage bins. Re did a kitchen in 2008, did a double pull out garbage bin with recycling. Built a home in Florida with 2 separate double pull out garbage bins with recycling. It frees up space on the floor.
Love your tips and aesthetic, you made me love black! 😊
I need all the kitchen content right now!! Loved this and agree with all!
I suddenly know why I hate my kitchen rn. 😂 thanks for all the tips
I drink coffee every day, and a Brevile cappuccino machine cannot be easily moved. My adorable Our Place air fryer is a toaster too and is used many times a day. A kitchen should serve the eating habits of the inhabitants, and it can be smart and attractive.
My big pet peeve is not having things put away all through my home and especially the kitchen and bathrooms! I can’t stand dish detergent left on the sink or counter among other numerous items on the kitchen counters! I can’t stand toothpaste and toothbrushes left in sight in the bathrooms!
I do t decorate with plates, but have them on open shelves for practical reasons. I find I don’t have issues with dust or dirt on them.
This was fun!
I am constantly picking behind hubs. He will not put things away. After 40 yrs I don’t think he will. I don’t like cluttered counters either. I grew up with it and my family members kitchens are so filled it’s nerve wracking.😮 however I can’t decant in those jars, I wouldn’t have room in the cupboards. Boxes are thinner and store easier. Decanting is attractive.
Love this !!!
About to move & have been brainstorming what I want to do in the kitchen. I will have concierge trash so the can is going to be my biggest obstacle (but on the plus side someone else will be hauling the bag to the dumpster 😊). I don’t like things out to collect grease & dust so nothing will be on the counter that doesn’t need to be. And fortunately it has good storage (pantry closet) because I can’t stand to have things on top of the fridge. I only did it in my last place to discourage the cat from getting up there. Definitely looking for a prettier French press & towels & maybe a cutting board to keep by the stove for prep.
I agree, def don't like stuff stored out on shelves, it gets dust and cooking grease residue over it. Our toaster blew up a couple of months ago and so far I've managed to stall hubby from getting another as I hate having it on the worktop as our kitchen is tiny and I only have less than a metre in total to prep on. Get rid of it all I say!! x
I totally agree, a cluttered kitchen I want no part of! I have very little on counters and I enjoy cooking in my space everyday. Can’t stand mess or stuff in my domaine! 😂🙋🏼♀️🇨🇦
Beautiful! Can you please share where you got the abstract painting,or did you paint it? Many thanks!
Do shallow upper cabinets and have that picture turn into a material that can be adhered to the doors
Your kitchen is like a little bit of heaven.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video!! Very helpful for people who do not like to see their stuff on the surfaces and like to start cooking in an inspiring space (like me😂)
The joke about the sponge is my favorite ❤😂
This was really inspiring, thank you😊
Love your kitchen.
I agree with everything you said except the under cabinet trash can. I feel like it would make the inside of the cabinet smell like garbage.
Give me Jacques Pepin's kitchen any day. A kitchen can still look good but the first priority in this space is functionality. Prepping food is often a messy ordeal and food needs to get on the table fast. Lots of good points here, but I fundamentally disagree about the kitchen just being another decorated room.
I don’t agree with the dust on the shelf and let me tell you why.
Let me ask : is your salt and pepper out? People leave it out, uncovered, and have no problem shaking that right on their food. But they’re worried about a little dust they’re already breathing in all day and swallowing while sleeping or awake!
Turn the glasses over so there are no floaties. Set out only that which id used regularly and keep the dust off that top plate or saucer. No big deal.
You also slice bread and pour on olive oil and it sets there until people eat it, attracting dust. We don’t think twice about it.
Commercial kitchens also keep their plates handy.
Do not let the dust become excessive and zero the kitchen clean. Wash your hands. ❤
It makes sense in your kitchen to leave the cleaning supplies out where the husband and kids can see them (and use them) but in my home it’s much more practical to have the utensils and dishes ready to use too.
Let’s agree though on this: show the pretty stuff and hide the ugly things!
I aspire to your aesthetic. I just don’t have a lot of space (sigh). I’m working on it 😀
Your channel is so much better now yay!!
Thanks for sharing. Yes you are always fun.
Oh my gosh, I am in total agreement with everything you said!
I agree with everything ❤ LOVE ❤ the big artwork behind you. We cook every day, but I have to clear counters, MAKE ME HAPPY. I have the same coffee maker. I buy Peets nespresso #11 pods.🎉
Im Inspired to chuck away all the stuff taking up space that I no longer use !!
I agree with *ALL* these things! Who wants to look at an ugly, smelly bin? I actually have an old milking bucket under the sink that was my grandmother’s when we had a farm. It’s about 100 years old and makes a great portable bin! 😜
I’ve never seen the point in decanting food items into prettier containers, you could drive yourself nuts and into bankruptcy buying aesthetic containers for *everything* - just hide them away in the pantry! Simple and sensible.
I don’t keep appliances out either, just the microwave, oven and a kettle. I actually decorate my kitchen with plants and everything utilitarian is hidden.
I have a big problem with storage. The drawers and cupboards are too small. I use a plastic shoe box for the large utensils and keep them in a cabinet under the counter. I still refuse to put them on the countertop!
I love the black and white wall artwork behind her - anyone know where I can find that???
I LOVE your videos and your style…. But I’m not decanting cookies 😂😂
Maybe when my kids are older and I’m not so overwhelmed by life. Right now I’m lucky if dishes get put away!
Most everything goes in the pantry. One thing I have in my kitchen is a small flat screen tv. I watch it while I cook if everyone is gone lol.
What about supplements? If I don’t put it on the counter I will forget it
We do have so much supplements and I really need help how to store them
Please on the AG1!!!
I agree! Can't stand open shelving in the kitchen, or using dishwasher and stemware as decor. It gets greasy from cooking then dust sticks to it and it grosses me out. Plus, when you're using those items for dinner or whatever occasion, your shelves are suddenly barren and it looks like you just forgot to decorate the kitchen. It gives me a lot of anxiety seeing open shelving and stem and dishware just sitting out - too much visually so my brain reads it as a big old mess.
I also cannot cook when the kitchen is messy or there's too much stuff out. Those IKEA ads look appealing with all their organized bins and such, but in reality, once those bins are full, it looks tacky. Maybe if I was a single person with minimal possessions it would work but not for my family of 6.
I don't leave ANY food products out on the counters. I also don't leave any appliances out except for my Keurig and a new stand mixer that's too beautiful to hide away. But toasters and blenders sitting out kill me. Bags of chips and loaves of bread sitting on top of the fridge also kill me. The only food item that is out (so no I lied, I do keep 1 item out lol) it's a large glass jar filled with granola bars and breakfast bars so the kids don't forget to grab one before school or as a snack. Oh wait, we usually have a beautiful cake stand with some treats in it but it's not in my kitchen counter it's on a bookcase near the dining table lol.
Your kitchen is my favorite room in your house.
Cluttered spaces make me anxious. Especially kitchens. After moving to the US from Sweden I was so puzzled to see people having cereal boxes/containers, flour, sugar, pasta etc. sitting on the counters. The giant trash can sitting out on the kitchen floor was probably the strangest thing. I do think it’s about what you are used to seeing as you grow up. I’m sure there are people watching this video who don’t think it’s a big deal having stuff on display in the kitchen.
Not the purpose of the video but what kind of espresso maker do you use? I love that it’s so small. Thanks!
If you don't like cleaning open shelving, large plants by the cook top are impossible. They will be covered by grease and dust. I can not imagine how you'd get them clean. At least glassware can go into the dishwasher.
Your kitchen looks beautiful.
I would be inspired to cook there as well.
I agree, no clutter.
I do have a question.
I have an electric cooktop.
Above it, there is a space cutout where we have an upper cabinet. What can I put in this space.
I would have done a fake hood for beauty since my cooktop had downdraft, but we have beautiful upper glass front cabinets that I recently added on top of my existing short cabinets. Really looks good and is a focal point in the kitchen.
What do you suggest?
15:21
60+ years ago in my first kitchen ever the upper shelves were open. The kitchen was small. So bowls, plates, glasses, and anything that didn’t fit in the two bottom cabinets on either side of the sink. Talk about grease and dust!! Disorganized! Don’t tell me that cabinets are outdated. The large kitchen that my husband designed had a glass front corner cabinet to display a few special items. Hidden is definitely better for me
PS your kitchen is stunning! I’m not a B & W gal but it’s a beautiful space. Keep it clean, right?!😊
Is that a Blanco sink? I have that and love it so much.
I got the AG1 and I love it
