You guys! Today we're chatting kitchens and how to make the most of their design :)
Kitchens are genuinely such an important part of interior design and they can make or break a home. I obviously have way more to say but for now I'm just running through some general ideas to consider when it comes to space planning, storage, materiality, lighting, & some other random opinions that I feel the need to share ✨

Congrats on your first sponsorship!!
congrats on first sponsorship, get that baggggg
My first time hearing of Milanote and I immediately signed up-its UI is so simple and beautiful… very on brand for you. Ty for the rec!
Anyone else sad when he says, I could go on and on about this but I’ll leave it here. Like sir, I would listen to you go on and on for hours
hahah saaame!! 18 minutes felt like 5
Yeeeesss😂
he should do like a stream where he just rambles on and on and on. I'd watch it and take notes all the way
I would absolutely LOVE an ongoing series on this! Designing bathrooms, living room, bedrom, entryway, EVERYTHING 😍 I could listen to you all day long. And congrats on your sponsorship!! 🎉❤
I consume SO MUCH design content and I constantly feel like I'm hearing the same things over and over but wow I have never heard someone argue against corner kitchens and my mind is fucking blown right now. You have me convinced!! If I'm ever fortunate enough to reno a kitchen, there will be no damn corner counters!! Thank you for teaching me new stuff.
Agree!!
My kitchen is so small it's literally impossible. I dont mind it. It looks normal.
I've heard it said before but hadn't heard it explained this well.
this blew my mind too!
I am in that small percentage of your viewers that are anticipating a kitchen renovation and thank you soooo much Noah!
I am part of the small percentage anticipating a kitchen renovation in the near future, so this video is spot on. Currently in the process of trying to purchase an old house in Norway from the 1930s in need of total renovation. I'm a big fan of your design philosophies and they are pretty much 100% in line with mine. Would love it if you could make a video on renovating/upgrading old houses/interiors without taking away its personality and history. What I like about old interior is that its already worn in. Makes me feel more relaxed when I'm not afraid of scratching the floor or denting a wall. At the same time I like modern interior, but feel like they are difficult to maintain and gets easily messy. Much like a nice car. It looks great when it's clean and polished, but the second it gets dirty it looses it's attraction.
YES TO DRAWERS. My current apartment has all drawers on the bottom and it has honestly been life changing.
It's very rare to find interior design content with really good taste. And I think you pass on your knowledge because you love it and not to show off. which is also very rare.
thanks for that.
Good luck in your new apartment!! ❤
I just love your voice. It gives NPR vibes. I think kitchens are so interesting because it grounds the entire house and there are so many decisions that must be made. So many considerations that can easily overwhelm a homeowner. There's a reason why some designers specialize only in kitchens. It is a singular discipline and expertise.
NPR is one of those things that I would dread when I was a kid but now that I’m an adult I get it
@@stop4500 Lol. It's very erudite and sophisticated for me.
It gives 99% invisible vibes
when noah said "i can definitely go on talking about this specifically for a very long time" i thought, oh no, I'm about to hear him say "maybe this is an idea for another video"
and we never see him again haha
@@RhebeDraws litttterally
i just want to add tthat i'd listen to 12 hours video of Noah talking about kitchens.
@@readygi oh so could I! it's that I don't want these topics to be for another video, I'm like go on tell us now! I love hearing him talk about his passion, and he's got good taste to boot
Just a note: in our custom kitchen we have two corner units and they’re great! It gives us four walls to work with instead of just two. They don’t become wasted space bc we purposefully installed lazy susans on each level of each corner unit. On the bottom, deeper cabinets it’s a space to hold our pots (organized by size), which usually take up a huge amount of space anyway. And on the top units we hold things like teas and spices. It’s not gimmicky-it’s a great use of what would have been wasted space. I agree about your dislike about 45 degree angles, though. And we have almost all drawers-they are fantastic! And we have quartz-also great; we can put things on them straight out of the oven or off the stove and they look brand new after many years. I didn’t know about the harms of engineered stone-will consider that in the future.
I am in Australia and the ban on engineered stone is active as of 1 July because those manufacturing and installing it are at high risk of inhaling silica dust particles and developing silicosis or lung cancer. The biggest risks are in cutting the "stone" dry to put it in place, so the problem in manufacturing might be more manageable with really good and stringent workplace safety but is passed on to those installing the kitchen.
I am obsessed with your videos. Please do the same for bathroom next and then bedrooms and study. Also multi functional rooms, I.e study and guest room
Lucky me because I'm currently designing my kitchen. Excited to watch this video!
Edit: I think this is one of the most interesting and informative video I've seen in a while. It's usually hard for me to pay attention to videos on design practices because I'm more visually and creatively minded, but I stayed with you and am walking away having learned many things I can apply right away to my project! Congrats on the move, and I'm so grateful for this channel and that your advice is rooted in what's true to you, not common among other RUclipsrs.
as someone who has recently entirely renovated a kitchen, I have so many opinions on this !
I agree with l with what you said about the corner cabinets, but when you don’t have a choice, I think the best solution is just to put ordinary cabinets on both sides and to put appliances on the counter corner.
it’s better to have two normal cabinets and loose a little bit of space, than to have that ridiculous lazy Susan style thing … this is what I did and I’m very happy about it.
also, thank you for recommending quartz, I put in granite and it was definitely not worth the difference in cost.
Noah I'm so happy for your first (I believe) sponsored video, congratulations 🎉! I absolutely love your collection on the shelf behind you. My kitchen is horrible and I never got the urge to do something with it until now, you gave me a great place to start! So thanks 🖤
Looook at you sir! 🔥 Getting sponsors now! So happy and excited for you, very much deserved 🙌🏼 🎉
Love this video!
Been thinking about kitchen planning for a long time, and have been so confused about why some kitchens really work and some don't at all. You made it make sense! Thank youuuuu❤
I hate cooking but I like kitchen design because kitchens have such specific requirements that it becomes very obvious when they have not been designed well but so satisfying when they are. I think that is also why they are under represented in a lot of design media. You can't just make them aesthetic and leave.
You just taught me so much, thank you Noah! I somehow feel more prepared for life just knowing this cool kitchen info and I'm going to be looking at my no-funds-to-reno-but-that's-okay kitchen with new eyes.
Love the items on your kitchen shelf - no wonder you brought them with you to Copenhagen. Have a fun and smooth move!
Thank you for clarifying that authentic/honest ≠ organic/natural. I always learn something new from your videos.
Please do more on kitchens! Loved this
Reaaaalllly want to see your ideas about garden landcape design :)
Good luck with your move! Would love to see more kitchen ideas someday. It’s such an important yet challenging space.
Perfect timing and definitely agree with your points. As an Australian who is a designer I was worried about the engineered stone once it was banned but its back with a new formula YAY. Hopefully this will keep our stone installers safe.
Alert! Noah Daniel has a video out about kitchens! Get out your notebooks folks.
Kitchens are my favorite space in the home design wise. Lots of awesome information here!
Thanks for reiterating the difference between authenticity and organic materials. I can admit I got caught up with everything organic. While that is still a great goal for me, I think being pragmatic and honest about what I buy is what Im taking away from you videos. Thanks Sensei Noah.
I would love a walk through your process for designing your new apartment! like your video on the apartment you didn't end up getting, it was very insightful
I love all your videos, but this one has been my favorite. I’m in the middle of redesigning a kitchen, and based on this video I’m going to be changing a few things such as: I had initially reduced the number of lower drawer cabinets, even tho I love them, to lower the cost, but now I think I’m going to eliminate all uppers and put the money I’ll save there into lower drawer cabinets. I do have a separate wall of floor to ceiling cabinets, so that will help with storage. Thank you so much. Maybe a similar video on bathrooms?
I’m part of those anticipating a kitchen build in an entirely new apartment. (Moving in end of August) I’m wrapping my head around for months on how to solve the layout. Your point about the corner just reinforced my idea.
Good luck with your move! You must be very excited. I can’t wait to see what are you gonna do with your new home.
Hi Noel, I totally agree with your take on open shelving. I have done my kitchen several times now. The first time was back in 1998 when we bought our house here in Santiago, Chile. Right from the start I designed two native wood, low depth shelves to put only my pots. We cook a lot so we have large pots that would not fit nicely in the lower cabinets (with doors back then). I have remodelled since then a couple of times the whole kitchen but I have always kept my open shelves. The pots do not get dirty or greasy. At a certain point I bought a set of beautiful pots that made the whole place look really stunning, especially because you can see the shelves from the entrance of the house.
Also, I have been using Milanote for about a year now. Seeing your mood boards taught me new ways of displaying my ideas. I use Milanote for, literally, EVERYTHING, including planning classes, keynote talks or research.
BTW, I never comment on YT videos, but you got me here!
Have a nice weekend.
I love the tiny mic holding, and have actually thought about and subsequently forgotten my suggestion about it until the beginning of this vid: a "jazz cigarette"/ J clip holder. There are some cute n classy ones available at online head shops! Love your content so much, it's always so relaxing and gets the ideas flowing.
I really appreciate your videos. I'm renovating a kitchen - the whole house really - and I love your input. Your voice is super soothing too, so much nicer than the loud, talking fast, in-your-face kind of videos. Thanks so much!!
We're about 85% done with a kitchen renovation that we have done almost entirely ourselves - my husband is a hobbyist wooodworker and generally handy, but we definitely underestimated the coordination needed for a full kitchen project. Never again lol. For those who are about to renovate: the internet at large loves to talk about the benefits and low maintenance of quartz countertops (or at least they did two years ago, when I was researching), and while I don't necessarily regret our quartz countertops, I wish I had looked more closely into other materials like soapstone and exotic granite before making a decision. Also (no surprise here), listen to Noah on design solutions reworking the corner area. Corners are NO JOKE, we're having issues with hinges (its a trigger word for my husband at this point) with our corner cabinet fronts. We had no idea hinge design could be so complicated. If I had to do it again, I'd rework that portion of our kitchen. Live and learn!
YAAAY YOU GOT SPONSORED! very proud
I'm actually renovating a house right now, so this was super helpful! I hope we'll get to hear your thoughts on other areas as well :D
Thanks Noah. I'm building my dream kitchen, so this is information I'm taking to heart. Had not considered the corner as a waste of space before, but I agree, and I'm going to really think hard how to avoid a kitchen corner in our L-shape plan with island. Good luck with the move!
Thank you, this was helpful. Renovating my kitchen and then selling, hate kitchen corners and they so expensive while being hacky, going to give them a skip.
Love from South Africa
This has been my favorite video so far!!!
The part about authentic vs organic really resonated with me. Weird thing to resonate with, probably, but I have the same exact attitude/issue when it comes to the fashion/beauty side of things, and it can sometimes be difficult to convey properly.
For instance, I can't stand faux-whatever. Leather, fur, pearls, the list goes on.
But it's not that I'm obsessed with "the real thing," in a snobbish way, I just don't like it when a material is trying to mimic something it's not. I'm happy to use an obviously synthetic bag/purse, or piece of jewelry, or trim, as long as it's proudly what it is.
Sure, give me a wildly printed/colored fluffy-hairy synthetic, just never one that's trying to look like it's actually fur. I'd take any number of explicitly man-made materials that are used for cool designs over a synthetic material designed to mimic leather, and so on.
I think it has to do with intentionality. If I choose an item or a look, I don't want it to be confusing as to whether it was deliberate or not, and using things that are covertly trying to be other things muddles the point, if that makes sense. Some of my takes can get quite controversial in the hair and makeup space for the same reason.
I do fall on the "no open shelving" side of things, but that's an issue specific to my home, not a universal hatred. First of all, we have cats. Second, my husband and I find it nigh impossible to keep any surface clear to begin with, so adding more potential messiness to our home would be counter-productive, but this obviously doesn't apply across the board.
I think open shelving is beautiful in kitchens depending on who lives there, where it is placed, and if all the pieces displayed are aesthetically appealing (like yours!). In my very small house, my kitchen (which also doubles duty as the mudroom), would absolutely look like the “bad” example you showed. Plus, I have kids, so a lot of my dish ware are plastic and silicon kids stuff, and there would be no place to put that stuff, except for the shelves, if I ripped out the upper cabinets. I think a lot of creators jumped on the bandwagon of open shelving hate because a lot of their viewers live in multi-person households with not a lot of space (ex. they have kids and therefore a deluge of ugly crap). I had open shelves in a previous place prior to kids, and the shelves by the stove were a pain to keep clean because of the grease build up (I’d have to clean them every day), but farther away from the stove was fine.
5:26 I like corner kitchens because in my country, we usually have mechanisms that really makes them usuful without taking up much space.
My parents have their *very small* water heater in that corner, and also a display of old pots there. Kind of works, I would use the space for placing ingredients though, or a coffeemaker. I like when the corner is a part of a full height wall, and the corner part of the bench is used as a cabinet for coffeemaker, other appliances that you would like to drag out onto the rest of the bench but regularly conceal, behind a jalousie door.
Any time Noah has an opinion I’m somehow automatically on board like yep Noah said lime green and grey actually could be really interesting so now I think lime green and grey are meant for each other
This was such an informative video! Kitchen design feels so overwhelming but you really helped to clear up why some things just don’t feel right in my kitchen. Thank you!!
Great and useful video! I would love to see more of these with different rooms 😍
LOVE this type of video
Perfect timing. I’m in the process of doing a kitchen revamp. Not a total remodel, but redoing some key elements like the the backsplash, painting cabinets (maybe getting new fronts), hardware and lighting. Keeping the granite, keeping the footprint, keeping the floors, keeping the sink.
It’s hard to chose things I love while also keeping in mind the fixed elements that I won’t be ripping out. Blending the two has been tough.
I really love your thoughtful and insightful content and the relaxed/cosy style of your commentary. I often watch your videos over breakfast and coffee and really look forward to it :) Interesting point about avoiding U-shape kitchens. I've just switched to a new apartment, same sized kitchen. The old one had a U-shape and the new one doesn't, it is two parallel lines. I feel like I have sacrificed sooo much counter and storage space not having the U-shape, so perhaps it's just the layout that is poorly designed. In my new apartment it looks like I have more storage with cabinets rising to the ceiling, but I can barely fit all my kitchenware in here, where as it fit nicely into my old U-shaped kitchen. So interesting.
I’m not sure I completely buy the overhead cabinet bit. If you have a big kitchen you have the flexibility to avoid them, while a smaller kitchen can’t have too many of them because there isn’t the wall space. The issue I have with the kitchen I’m planning to renovate is the standard U.K. issue of a medium size room with weird utility point (gas and water) spacing. The size means you can’t omit opportunities for storage while the layout precludes a single tall-wall unless you relocate the utility points. Not impossible but it adds to the cost. I think the trick with top cabinets is to keep them on opposite long walls so they don’t ever “overlook” the space.
I do love open cabinets though. The new house has a pair of integrated cupboards that I don’t like and would prefer to replace with a stainless steel high-load shelf for my cookware and nicer kitchen gadgets.
Ahhh i AM about to renovate a kitchen this was so helpful and inspiring thank youuu! and biggest congratulations on finding an apartment looking forward to those videos!!
Loved this! As someone who is hoping to renovate or build a home in the near-ish future I have tried to find good content online, and there is surprisingly little. Would love to see a video on (re-)creating a floorplan!
Enjoyed the video as always 😊
Love the insights and learned a lot!
I love track lights and also undercabinet lighting. And a cute lil lamp ❤
!! Really enjoying these videos, i was completely misunderstanding modernism - youve genuinely opened my mind. Im about to do up a small flat in Malta and youre giving me hope 😅
Kitchens are definitely a fun topic thank you! ❤
Great content as always! would love an in-depth video on the cabinetry vs flooring. How do you figure out the right combination?
If you do a part two, could we get your take on exhaust hoods and backsplash options?
I am a kitchen and bath designer and I totally agree with the corner cabinets!! Such a waste of space 🙃
Hi, I’m from Aus. Engineered stone had Silica which in large amounts causes silicosis. It was the quarry’s and where they mixed the minerals to make the stone that had the largest risk to workers.
Typically in one of these stone slabs the amount of silica is like a cake with baking soda or sugar. It’s not the entirety. Also silica is a naturally found mineral and is still used for preserving food and in cement. The quarry unions just got together and managed to ban it in this specific sector. The government has not compensated any stone masons for this change and a it’s taken a huge hit to these industries.
I work in dust management so not too afraid of Silica and how to manage it so I got slabs of this stone (before it went to landfill) worth over $5000 for basically free.
Thought this might be interesting to you.
LOVED this video and I have no kitchen to renovate. so thank you
Couldn't agree more. I wish I could do so much to my kitchen but I rent :/
Totally understand if your next video (posted on Thursday) is a bit rushed to get you on track. That's what I would do lol
I would love to hear more of your thoughts on designing in small spaces! I totally agree with you about corners. My kitchen is unfortunately in a small enough space that I don't think there's room for countertops running on either wall. I think because of this, the previous owners made the counter L shaped. I don't hate it because it means there's still a triangle between the sink, stove, and fridge, and there's counter space surrounding each of those items as well. But I do wonder whether there's a better option!
Your diagrams are so helpful!
Noah love this, & yip agree that open shelving gets bad press, thanks for 7 inch advice knew there was something wrong with mine, corner counter tops is NoNo No! Drawers over cabinets is a big 🙌🏽!
Good luck 🍀 with move!
Thanks and all very sound and solid points as usual. I think it came from the Tuscan Trend, but stove exhaust vents tend to be overly large and gaudy ornate. Thereby an exhaust vent is the obvious focal point of the room. This us more strange than the weird corner cabinets, of all things to highlight, the exhaust fan would not be it.
My gosh Noah...this is the first time I have agreed with you...good analysis and suggestions
Woohoo. 1980s kitchen renovation about to hit my finances. Thank you for knowing I was here 😂
Noah, I learn so much from your videos and love your style. What software do you use for your floor plan modeling?
Currently renovating my first home and we just demoed the kitchen. Going to try and achieve a functional yet minimal style in a small row home kitchen 😅
great content!
My new kitchen is three months away so perfect timing. Thank you
Fun fact. I told my architect that I didn’t want corner cabinets, but in the end I wound up with them anyway and I DON’T regret it one bit. Both corners have pull outs and they are great. SO much storage and great flow. No upper cabinets, windows instead, and all drawer and other pull out storage - including two dishwasher drawers. So much better than traditional dishwasher. I’m a happy camper. 😀
The Glassette Art work from your milanote board has been living rent free in my head for forever. I may try to diy it myself as 260 quid is just too much for what it is.
A video like this but on bathrooms please!!
That sublet looks pretty nice from the snippets I’ve seen!
Finally- another fan of open shelving. 😂 I wish I could remodel and do away with our corner cabinet… but ah well. I’ll work with it… and my kitchen is still lovely besides!
I love your videos..they are so educational…Could you please make more videos with rental friendly advice?😔
would love to hear about your move to copenhagen and seeing your new place!
I love this video
I’m one of those planning a kitchen renovation and unfortunately won’t make it without upper cabinets or a corner one with the little awkward pullout thing, since my kitchen is all of 198 cm wide and has 254 cm available wall for cabinets. Hell, it’s so small that my rough design only allows one 50cm wide block of drawers under the 2 space induction cooktop, and that’s only if we manage to put the half size built in oven in an upper cabinet. I could have demolished a wall and make a bigger one connected to my living room, but I’m effin glad I haven’t, since sounds travels through my commie block’s vents, which are in my kitchen. And the neighbor two floors above realllly loves bad hip hop.
In my kitchen, the drawers have doors in front of them - it’s slowly killing me 😂
omg
Hey man, don’t have much to say, but keep up the great work! Great videos!
I just sent this to my parents who are building a new home. Hopefully I can save them from some mistakes!!
The corner kitchen counter is really a wasted space and I never thought about it until now. My kitchen was built in 1957 and it's a typical "L " shaped kitchen cabinet and counter deal. but it does have that "V" flow which makes me think they did know what they were doing. We have our microwave cooker on that corner of the counter which works so all is not lost. I debate on renovating the kitchen because the cabinets were built so well back then and I fear getting a product that just is not built to last like the existing cabinets. I changed the countertop and painted the cabinets which looks pretty good. I struggle with kitchens and bedrooms. In 39 years of marriage, we have never figured out in a thoughtful way what the bedroom should look, and this has been a situation in both homes we have owned. It's sometimes difficult when one person runs the majority of the design look of the house but can't go full in on a design of a space. I'm sure I'm not alone on this dilemma. The main thing I struggle with my own home interiors is the curation of some really amazing pieces. It's always seemed like a work in progress and maybe that's the whole thing with a home is that it changes when you change. It's an endless learning experience and these videos of yours help us figure out somethings. I have lots of art and that's a problem of what to hang. I always feel like making a collection of the things I just have to have and won't part with and go from there or have someone else take what things I do love and find a whole new approach. Interior design is pretty cool and I come at it from a different angle being a painter. I do not have any of my paintings in my own home. It's everything but mine on my walls. It's work that makes me happy and inspired. Is that weird? My personal work goes out into the world and is sold. I have seen it turn up in design magazines.
I found that video surprisingly interesting, even though it wasn't my first video on kitchens.
I‘m obsessed with your glass coffee cups on the left…where did you find them? Also great video as always
I’d love to know as well! They look like Joe Colombo Arno glasses, but I couldn’t find any online that are smoked like those.
Where did you get your smoked glass cups and saucers? (to the left the shelf) They're really cool and would love to find something similar! Thanks!
What are your thoughts on linoleum counter tops? It was too expensive for us, so we opted for a slimmer and the least offensive vinyl counter option from Ikea.
Where did you get the coffee set on the left? I've seen it in your videos multiple times
I need those cups on the left where are those from?!
What would you suggest for the tiny gap between a free-standing stove/oven and the surface next to it? The kitchen in my older rental is miniscule and the oven is between a wall/cabinet and the refrigerator. There is a gap on each side that collects dust and grease that is almost impossible to clean unless I pull out the stove and the fridge, and that's a lot of work in such a tiny space. What is a person to do?
Thanks a lot! Maybe now something about bathrooms please? :D
If you saw my social housing rented kitchen you would have to laugh or else you’d cry. It got ‘redesigned’ by the council 6 years ago, and what a mess they made of it! Corner units top and bottom, cupboards that don’t shut when you put -lates in them, and they didn’t measure properly for my washing machine so I had to buy a smaller one (nothing wrong with the old one). The quality is so rubbish as well. I wish so hard that I’d never agreed to it - the previous kitchen was designed by myself, with no corner units and loads more storage space. It was past its best, but better than the crap I’m left with now. There’s damp as well now and I can’t keep any dry food in there at all.
I completely agree about kitchen corners I think there should be an interior constitution that bans kitchen corners
God I adore you and this channel
hahaha. the mic hold was a thing! all good. great content
Do you have a shared Pinterest ? Love your reference images
Nice video! Wish you covered extractor fans
