    I love making spaces look more open. However, am I the only one who hates white paint colors with kids? Mine like to touch EVERYTHING I am cleaning cabinets 2 times a week! And I loathe cleaning as a mom and designer. I also think the corner sink is ineffective. Now you can't properly use the bar because the sink is in the way to seat someone comfortably there -especialy with a rectangular placemat or if you wanted to use the full length for meal prep.

    I know white looks clean. I love a white kitchen. But this space is devoid of color. It seems every designer has gone with an easy to create blank white space. The textures and different elevations are not enough to make this feel warm, Cosy and inviting for me. I’d like to see a designer who isn’t afraid of color.

      It's not fair to fully judge the design based on 1 project. Perhaps the client really insisted on full-on white. I am a designer too and we do get clients like this.

    • @helenaville5939
      @helenaville5939 5 років тому +1

      It sounds like you all missed the title of the video. This is not about colour, it's about making a space look bigger and the fundamental design principle of white making a space look bigger while dark colours smaller applies here. Whether we like white in a room or not (I don't) is not really relevant to the tutorial aspect of the video. The same principle applies to clothing for example. Perceptively, black tends to diminish size whereas white and brighter colours expand it. For goodness sakes, give her a break!

      @ah5721 6 років тому +1

      I was thinking that as well. It's also harder to use. I find generally male designers/builders do a corner sink and I feel like that's not well thought out the corner and bar are less useable now. You can't use a rectangular place mat there, or anything else.

    • @TheDriftwoodlover
      @TheDriftwoodlover 5 років тому +1

      They're actually using the dead space of the corner with the sink. This gives more usable counter and cabinet space. I had one before and would love one again.

    Everything looks great. The only thing I would change are those peg holes in the back of the bookcases. I found those holes too distracting in both the before and after the remodel. My eyes were immediately drawn to them and took away from the pristine crisp look of the room. I would wither fill them in with dowels painted the same color as the bookcase or ensure that books, vases etc. blocked the holes from view.

Drives me nuts, & I hear it all the time! Esp. by people (news reporters, professionals, etc. who should know better) - Another peeve is constant usage of "there's" for "there are" - e.g., "there's three chairs in the room" or "there's several ways to apply paint" - this is just blatant ignorance; it's "there ARE 3 chairs"...there ARE several ways..."
