Within the past 4 months, my kitchen was remodeled. I didn't base my choices on trends. I chose what I like and I couldn't be happier! I considered running my quartz countertop up the backsplash, but didn't go that route for several reasons including budget. Ultimately, my backsplash is what makes my kitchen look and feel perfect (hand-painted ceramic navy subway tiles with lots of variation).
As an interior designer, the amount of natural stone being wasted on kitchen countertops is so upsetting to me. It takes 3000+ years for the earth to make these materials, and these same prople buy "organic" cleaning products to "help save the earth". We need to be smarter with such precious materials.
Natural stone is so much prettier. But some people don’t like the movements saying it’s “too busy”. I have quartzite. ❤ love it.
Love quartzite! For my recent renovation, I bought a slab of Blanco quartzite and used it in the kitchen, the bathroom and even had it made into window sills. The quartzite window sills are my favorite of them all!
We're having quartzite installed in our new home (ready in June). I do see some quartzite that's too busy & loud... but most is absolutely beautiful!
💯 agree
Thank you for mentioning color undertones. We painted our kitchen when greys were really popular. I wanted a beige, but ended up giving in to my husband's choice. We did a sample, but we should've watched it a few days before deciding. Now, at certain times of the day, our kitchen looks blue. Warm cabinets and cool walls. It bugs the bugeebies out of me!

Luckily my husband left design decisions to me.
I was very conscious of undertones in everything after watching enough design videos.. I bought an inexpensive course about choosing white paint😅. I did not want blue or yellow undertones in the white paint for our east facing house. I ended up with Benjamin Moore’s Indian Wicker which has an orange undertone; it looks warm in all light levels. I made sure that all our lights were warm white also-it always looks great. I’m glad I had my artist teen as a color choosing back up though🙂.
Hi mark Happy New year !! Your looking refreshed and healthy. Nice video too
I love the functional part of kitchen planning. I believe it is the Foundation, when you have that the rest is easy and fun.
Alternatively, pay careful attention to the trends of the current year and the past decade or so, in order to steer clear of all of them.
Look at trends from 10 and 15 years ago, if anything looks attractive, it’s probably timeless.
You don’t have to steer clear of any of trends because they all come back around again. Just be reasonably sure that you won’t hate the colors or styles you choose five years from now.
@@spremier9626 Valid point - but also if too many elements of your design were trendy at the same time, and that time was fairly recent, then a few years down the track when you're over the "new kitchen high" and you realise how dated it looks, that's going to sting even if you like the look in itself.
Love you're content. Finished my kitchen renovation. I have been watching you're videos for over a year. My kitchen meets all the function needs you mentioned. Thanks for the information Mark.
I'm still looking for anyone on RUclips talking about kitchen design for larger families and multigenerational families. How do you design a kitchen when every meal could serve a dozen people from small children to elderly, and no one person is actually in charge because a multigenerational family is a cooperative?
It's a wide open content opportunity.
Look at Kosher Kitchens
Thanks for the input!
I'm just about finished with a kitchen remodel, and have maybe a similar life situation. We have 8 children, some married, some under 10. A regular Sunday dinner is 12 people, and a small extended family dinner is 30 people. We've hosted 70-100 people multiple times, and that definitely involves multiple people in the kitchen at once!
I've found lots of great info to help from Mark Tobin.
His suggestions on "zones" rather than the work triangle were especially helpful.
Our space is large and awkward, at the literal center is the house. This also means there are 3 major pathways that run through the kitchen. Zones are helping with this!
Another very helpful tip of his I used was to come up with multiple designs using the Ikea drag-and-drop designer. At first, we couldn't picture anything other than slight variations of the old layout, but eventually came up with 28 options! (And two sinks; the sink is always the traffic jam in the kitchen!)
Another helpful tip was to picture yourself doing specific kitchen tasks.
Making muffins,
Reheating leftovers,
Making a green salad,
Making sugar cookies with the kids,
Etc.
Where do you stand? Where do you need to walk to get ingredients? Pans? Bowls? Utensils?
Love your videos. Especially appreciate the reminder to look at the design top-down/POV.
Your conversation re undertones was super helpful as we are doing a remodel right now. I am super fussy about everything ‘playing well together’ and causing my husband to shake his head in frustration! East Coast trends are a bit slower arriving in the PNW where SO many choices are still grey, grey, grey…. uuuggghhh!
Oh yeah!!! We play catch up on the East Coast
✅ Quartzite counters
✅ Walnut cabinets
✅ Functional zones
✅ Optimize eye-level storage
✅ Neutral-toned colors
✅ Lighting
✅ Cohesive palette
✅ Quailty appliances/fixtures
I just choose what I love.
Thank you for all the information.❤
Do what you want!! I love tile
I'd like to buy a quartz countertop , but I'm afraid it might be taken for granite.
I love my quartz countertop. What I selected looks nothing like granite.
@@KRKimbler LOL... reread their comment... it was a joke/play on words ;-)
Let’s gooo
The teacher in me is obsessed with your llama.
p.s. Great advice as always.
I know many view Corian as ourdated material for countertops but is it really a bad option?
what is the best sink material for laundry room any links?
No links. But usually acrylic works well for laundry.
I love wooden tops but I am not sure how to seal it without it looking plastic and change the color. I want to preserve it and protect it properly but the internet is full of con and pros and different ways to seal..... that I don't know. I am looking at walnut but how to keep original color and grain texture but protect it properly MARK HELP
As long as the sealant is food grade you will be fine. I don’t have a brand name to recommend, but that is important.
@@MTKDofficial Thank you for taking your time to answer and help... so basically any real oil and thats all?
So what's wrong with oak cabinets?
Nothing. Very nice.

I'd love hear your non-trendy advice. Share it here and tell me what you think makes a better kitchen.
Wotcha wearin’, Sarge? 🤔
Lol
Who updates their kitchen every few years?
Lots of people
Waterfall countertops: yea or nah?
I'm personally on the fence with them. Sometimes, I see them and like it, other times, not so much. I don't think *not* having one will ever be "out of style."
My personal opinion is nay. To me, it's a waste of money, too trendy and just something some designer thought up to sell more product. (usually expensive) Besides, they're called counterTOPS for a reason.😊
No😖
@@keradee8742 We're building a new house, and I opted not to get the waterfall (yeah, was quite expensive). I opted to spend the money on running the quartzite up as the backsplash. I think that will be more timeless.
Nay.
