    My top tips: use dexton countertops. It doesn't burn,scratch or absorb oils or acids. Don't follow fashion or in the future everyone will know exactly how old your kitchen is. Always put sinks and cooker hobs on the same wall,so no crossing a room with hot pans. Always go for bigger sinks,those piddly small round ones are a total waste of time and don't use stainless steel for sinks or tops,to avoid having to constantly wipe dry and triple dry them.If possible avoid top cupboards ( unless you have extremely looong legs). Don't make huge islands that take you all day to walk around. If possible make as large as possible a walk in pantry. Avoid cupboards but use draws. A boiling water tap is very handy. No one seems to care about where to put those wet tea towels and hand towels. Ask them about it !!! Please do use open shelving to display your treasures. Do I design kitchens? Nope. I'm just a very savvy ( young at heart) 70 year old with years of experience. Ciao.

      There is a lot of sense in what you have mentioned. Drawers are far superior to cupboards, I am going to try to not have any cabinets above the bench and have display shelves. Instead. Sink and cook top next to each other also makes sense to me. Also hving an area where the brekky things, tea, coffee and kettle are all together also makes sense.

    So helpful, especially the very end when you talk about keeping either the backsplash or the countertop simple and the opposite with more pattern or interest. I get that. It's like fashion, If you show a bunch of leg, make the top more conservative and vice versa.

    This is by far the most comprehensive, all encompassing coverage on the subject of kitchen countertops and backsplashes. We are all different and not everyone wants a "luxe elegant look". You brought in the artisan options and made room for all the possibilities! Plus giving room for variations on the ever popular subway tiles. I'm a designer myself and have only used typical uniform subway tile on one project, an oyster color artisan style with medium gray grout. I love the more artisan subway tiles and plan on using again, along with a more decorative tile over the sink and stove as an insert for some wow factor! I also love that you dont try to be too cutesy in your presentation, inserting alot of "omg's" or "That's just got to go!" Theres a place for "personality" but it can be too much, imo, and you hit just the right note and balance! I like that you tone down the overly enthusiastic hyped up rhetoric and that's coming from someone who is and can be super enthusiastic when it comes to design! And YES, please do one on bathrooms!! If you haven't already! Thanks for great content!

      @@JulieKhuu I feel you are doing exactly that! Btw, I loved your diy budget bathroom makeover! Stunning results! It showed even designers don't always have to go for the highest price finishes yet can have spectacular results showcasing their creativity over just high cost. It made you all the more relatable to the average homeowner who can draw off of your skills and creativity while not breaking the bank. Most people can also relate to putting off doing certain things while balancing babies, kids in general and all the various other day to day "cares of this world"! You as a young mom are doing an amazing job at it all!

    Quartzite can be another gorgeous, super durable natural stone alternative to marble that's not talked about as much as quartz. It's usually pricier though. We did a gorgeous linear quartzite in our last home (white macaubas) that was a showstopper. I'm thinking about doing quartzite in our upcoming build as well, as the maintenance of marble with our family isn't something I'm ready to commit to. Your channel is just fantastic! It was a quick subscribe for me! Thank you for your valuable content! 💖

      Hi Stephanie. I am a Brit living in Spain Europe and will be gutting and replacing my kitchen this year. I have been agonising about which material to use for my counter top and back splash and gaze at the marbles with lust but like you I am going to pass it over due to the maintenance and staining, we drink a lot of red wine, use citrus a lot and many other organic things that will etch into the marble. I have heard of Quartzite but I am unclear is this is the same as Quartz, just a different way of saying it?. I need to be really clear on the differences as I will need to explain to my Stone yard guy what I want. He is not the most sophisticated as its a small rural mountain village and his choices are limited. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Julie for a brilliant channel.

    Thank you SO much for this video. I have a builder's grade kitchen and I wanna change it SO bad. However this is not my forever home. I was seriously considering redoing it on the cheap. Like maybe JUST changing the countertop and backsplash. Now that I've seen this video I am SO inspired as to what is possible. I told my husband we don't have to do this kitchen. It works fine and we can use paint to update it a little. And with the money we make on this home (we are doing a LOT of other improvements) we can invest in a kitchen like these for our next home. Put $100 in the "kitchen fund" savings before the video was over. We really cook so much and love entertaining. This is so helpful. That damn zellige tile might have stolen my heart.

    So glad you mentioned stainless steel for countertops! One of the homes we lived in had a small portion of industrial grade stainless in the kitchen…probably was installed in the ‘60’s when the house was last renovated before our purchase…but it aged beautifully and was so handy! My concern these days is that the quality of the stainless steel material available on the market today can be poor if isn’t made in the USA…..

    We did a 40s retro inspired kitchen and did light quartz counters with light grey veining paired with a rectangular zellige tile backsplash with a penny round accent line in white and black that accents our pot filler. While the backsplash does mean a little more maintenance since the grout, I wouldn’t change a thing since I love the look!

    It's probably overdone, but that all white kitchen at 10:48 is beautiful. I'm partial to shaker style cabinets and there's just something about brass against white that I find so elegant and timeless. I wouldn't mind dual toned cabinets either though. A navy/emerald green on bottom paired with white on top w/brass hardware would also look nice.

    Love all of these. In my kitchen we did dark grey cabinets on the bottom, white on the top, white countertops and then black glass with white striped (zebra/tiger) lines in it. So beautiful. It was custom but so worth it. Ithink I would have gotten tired of the granite/marble look after a while. The glass is unique and I am so glad. Anyway, its an alternative. thanks Julie for all that you do. :-)

    Julie- YOUR CHANNEL IS FREAKING AWESOME. I picked an extremely bold granite and now I am second guessing myself. Dark and moody and I planned to use on my island, countertops and backsplash. I am afraid I should not waterfall the island because it may be way too much. My kitchen is small, so I am thinking I could get away with it. How do you determine if the slab is overpowering. My cabinets are SW Extra White and the granite is white eclipse/Copacabana. Thank you

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  Год назад +1

      If you’re running the same granite up the backsplash, I would say nix the waterfall. If you’re only using Copacabana on the island, I say waterfall is the right move. But on the backsplash, perimeter countertop, AND island WITH waterfall may be a tad much. Too much of a good thing doesn’t make it feel special anymore. Just my thought, but you DO YOU! Go with your gut 🙌

    So many beautiful designs (hate the huge veins though)! But I feel I would get tired of bold patterns or colours very soon.

This way we can play with the other walls and change colors more often

  • @wendylang2360
    @wendylang2360 Год назад

    Hi Julie
    I think a big factor is the personality of the cook. Some people work happily with lots of clutter - cannisters sitting to the back of their benchtops, spice racks in view, mugs on hooks, etc, while others like benches to be completely clear & everything out of sight when not in use.
    For the first personality type I think they are likely to be attracted to busy tile patterns but if they go with that, will end up with a kitchen that is too busy (looks messy). I would encourage them to go plain.
    For the latter type I would encourage the opposite - you want your kitchen to have warmth & personality when you walk in.
    As we all know the kitchen is the hub of the home. A recent study showed a family's movements (each member got a personal tracker) & the density of movement/time spent in the kitchen was really evident. So - it sets the tone for the home & you want all family & visitors to feel comfortable where possible.

    Hi Julie, I have an L shape kitchen ( with an island) and my stove is closer to the corner where there is no cabinet on the side wall. I have the recommended minimum counter working space between the stove and the side wall. I am concerned there could be cooking splashes on that side wall. Should I continue the tiles onto the side wall only for the space between the countertop and upper cabinet for the depth of the counter top or should I tile the entire height of the side wall ? Thanks for your tip, really appreciate it.

So, cabinets and square center island will be basic shaker white w stainless steel appliances to make it bright. But where to add a focal point and a little pop?

    We are doing a kitchen remodel in the spring so now looking for cabinet, countertops, sink, faucet, backsplash and appliances. Kitchen is a small U shape space that two people can barely cook in. We have a lightbox in the ceiling that makes the space even smaller. Needless to say, we will demo that lightbox and install a few canned LED lights. We've asked our contractor to provide under the cabinet lighting to brighten up the space. There is a garden window that provides natural light during the day. We love to cook so looking to invest on quartz counter. Wifey loves the feeling of wood. I love the idea of stainless steel for prep area but honestly, if I can surround the 30" induction cooktop, I would. What color do you recommend to make this small space bigger? How about frosted glass upper cabinet doors instead of solid wood? Backsplash or paint?

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  3 года назад

      Check out my video on small kitchens for more color and finish ideas Carlos! Great move with the glass uppers- it will reflect more light than painted wood cabinets. Backsplash is a must for wet areas, but if you choose to have a standard backsplash and paint the rest- choose the same color so there’s no visual break. Hope that helps!
