I know it’s been awhile since this video has posted, but I figured I’d still ask… what kind of faucet is on the sink behind the presenter?

Hi Homestud, I have watched many of your videos to help me in my Ikea kitchen design plan. Thanks for all the advice. Is the base corner cabinet with shelves that is just a straight line interchangable from left to right for the door installation? I see the door on the left in my design tool, but not available in that view in the product list. Any help is much appreciated. :)

This is ProKitchen software.

My galley (dimensions 10'9"x7'9") is wide enough (barely) for a 46-inch aisle, with one door too narrow for appliances to come through, the other barely wide enough. It is defined on all sides by load-bearing or exterior walls, so any expansion of the space would be prohibitively expensive. I hope I will be able to widen the 32-inch door to 48 inches and the 26-inch door to 36, and to widen the case openings from the dining room to the living room and hall. That would make things a bit less claustrophobic, with a bit more communication to the breakfast room and the dining room, but still not as inviting as a true open plan. What are your thoughts on a herringbone vinyl plank floor in the narrow galley opening into the breakfast room space (the dining room has beautiful 90-year-old polished red oak floors). I think the lengthwise planks through the kitchen would make it look that much narrower.

I am a big believer in continous flooring to help make a space feel more cohesive with one room flowing into the next. Its hard to visualize changes in flooring material without seeing photos of a space, because at times there are natural dividing lines that can make transitions look a little more seemless.

It's possible replacing some of the upper cabinets with open shelving might make the space feel a little more open. Not everyone's cup of tea, but just a thought that could help :)

My very small kitchen is sort of in the middle of the house with an office on one side, living room and dining room on the other sides. We don’t need a formal dining table and thought we could split a large island into two halves. One in the kitchen and the other matching island in the dining area…bad idea/good idea?!? We would like the double island for more work space and under cabinetry.

Hi Melissa- I would really have to look at the space and dimensions to see how everything would fit and flow. It could work, but it could also become a headache if the flow were massively interrupted. Feel free to shoot me an email if you want to chat about this further: designstudio@thehomestud.com

What is the paint color of the cabinetry and the wall? Please… they are so beautiful.

I'm glad you think so too! The cabinetry in the kitchen I am sitting in is GRIMSLOV off-white by IKEA. The paint color in the background is Escarpment by Benjamin Moore.

Thin countertops are the hot thing currently (in Europe), is it also a trend in the US? Marble gives me more an "old rich" feeling...

@hsdesignstudio

2 жыл бұрын

I'm not a marble fan in the kitchen without major finishing techniques. Thin countertops are not all that common among my clients (under 5%). I think it comes down to size as well. It's likely easier to keep the thinner countertop structurally sound in smaller kitchens/smaller slabs. Some of the kitchens here in Canada and the US are downright monstrous and have countertop square footage to match.

I am in the design process. I have limited space and I am thinking of desigining an island but that would leave very little space for a dining room. Question, is it ok if I just design a large island and just forgo having a dining room table? Is it ok to not have a dining room but a very cool large island?

@hsdesignstudio

This all depends on what you want in the space, and how you use the space. Some people are fine without a table, others aren't. I also like to think about resale value as well. If this is a place you are to sell eventually (before the kitchen renovation goes through it's lifetime), is there another place to put a dining table? Each situation, person, and home are unique.

@@hsdesignstudio thanks for the reply. It is greatly appreciated. my kitchen layout is long and narrow. I am also taking out a non-load bearing wall so I am losing cabinet space. Therefore the idea of having a 14' island seems reasonable. I guess in order to accept the idea I should not call it an island instead just call it a long kitchen table that also works as an island. Yes I am worried about resale but it's going to be a huge upgrade over my current setup that I think it makes sense. Just have to wrap my head over the concept of not having a traditional dining room.

@1:32 my kitchen is kind of similar, where can I design it properly.

This is such a difficult question to answer because I don’t think there is necessarily a set path. What worked for me, is likely very different from the next person. I started with my own properties and then worked for free for a while to build experience. I’ve been around building and design my whole life, watching and learning from my parents as I grew up. This grew into a blog, then this channel, and now my full design studio with clients all over the world. That isn’t to say that going to school for interior design isn’t also an option.
