Hello everyone and welcome back to this week’s episode of Red Elevator. Today I will be going in depth about kitchen design mistakes that you need to avoid when designing your dream kitchen. It is imperative that when you are designing a kitchen that you take into account the flow of the kitchen and how many people will be cooking at the same time. I highly recommend that you install two kitchen sinks, as having a prep sink is very useful. A recommendation that I always make is to take your kitchen cabinets to the very top of the ceiling which is a lot nicer and more pleasing to the eye. Don't be afraid to eliminate upper cabinets, if you have enough cabinet space, it makes a much better looking and more high-end kitchen design. Also when you are planning your kitchen design write down all the items that you will be housing in the kitchen and find a specif place for each and every one of them. If you plan your kitchen in advance you will definitely have a better looking and certainly a more functional kitchen. Enjoy this episode!

#kitchendesignmistakes #kitchenremodelingideas2021
This is one of my favorite subjects, and I agree with everything you said, Nina, especially about the range and the upper cabinets. I have seen buyers backing away from beautiful houses just because the kitchen range is not in proportion with the kitchen, and to change that would require replacing of all the cabinets which can be expensive. Also, I have seen 10/11/12 foot ceiling with the upper cabinets going all the way to the top and they look just absolutely beautiful.
I would like to add a few points:
1. I prefer a range oven rather than wall oven. Wall oven looks nice and it is easier to access, but here in Canada every time we cook turkey or roast beef we have to open the windows even in the winter, because the smell just lingers for days. With a range oven we put the exhaust fan at low speed and the house smells fresh and clean.
2. Speaking of range hood, I suggest getting one that is one size larger than the range itself (obviously you can only do this when building a new house or a complete kitchen reno). For example, if you have a 36" range you should get a 48" range hood, a 48" range you should get a 60" range hood, and so on. The 6 inch overhang on either side of the range can drastically reduce the amount of overflowing fume when you are stir frying.
3. I prefer putting the dishwasher on the left side of the sink. I am right handed, so I normally hold the dirty dish in my left hand and a sponge in my right hand to wipe off any leftover before putting the dish into the dishwasher. If the dishwasher were on the right side of the sink it wouldn't be as convenient.
Well, these are my personal preferences but I am open to other suggestions.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I too prefer range ovens. Thank you for watching!
Your advice on designing drawers with purpose, spending extra for a nice faucet and range are things that I hadn’t fully considered and will be helpful in the final design of my small kitchen.
Yay. So glad you caught the episode in time xx
This was one of the best kitchen videos I ever watch, thank you so much for sharing your valuable knowledge with us.❤️🙏
Wow Hilda thank you!! You made my night!
@@NinaTakesh my pleasure, I always enjoy your beautiful designs and your beautiful classy personality.
Aww that’s so sweet!
I’m not a designer but did my due diligence before building our house and I’m happy to find out my kitchen design covers most of the very good points you make... even with a limited budget, I planned for each of my drawers and what I would store in each one of them and their placement
Hello Wendy! This is music to my ears. You obviously did your research! Thank you for watching!
Yay!! Finally I heard someone else say you don’t need upper cabinets! Totally agree! I was one of those with 9 foot ceilings with cabinets that did not go to the ceiling. I had my contractor put in a soffit above the cabinets which gave them that “custom” look. No dust, no baskets,no fake plants. Unfortunately I can’t get past “resale value.”
Liz, so glad we are on the same page. Thank you so much for watching!
Haha cant agree more on Lightings 🙌🏻
I love lights more lights natural and bright daylight lights
Without sufficient lights i feel house feels dead
Very true!
Thank yiu..as a Realtor some of my clients remidel and have purchased
new cheap 4 burner ranges..glad you brought that up.
Thank you so much Barbara!
would love to see more Kitchen trends for next year. I am building a new house and just finished a remodel and thankfully I did everything you said was important. range, cabinet height etc... thanks and keep the content coming.
Great idea. Good luck designing! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Nina! We remodeled our kitchen in 2012. I didn't bring the upper cabinets all the way to ceiling and I regret it so much. The good thing is that I only have 3 cabinets because the rest is plenty of deep drawers. I plan on removing them and replacing with cabinets all the way up. I also regret not getting the right quartz countertop because of budget and now I am also looking at replacing it. Planning is like measuring. Plan well and for years ahead to avoid regrets.
I absolutely agree with you! Thank you for sharing your story xx
This is a wonderful video and top notch professional advice that most designers have not figured out yet. Though I prefer upper cabinets. One thing I don't like are stoves in the center island. I hate it worse when they put a large ventahood above the island instead of a down draft. I like your kitchen layout Nina. It is similar to what I have done.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Cooking on the island is not my favorite activity! ❤️
Claro que es interesante Nina ! Muchas gracias! I can’t stop looking your videos! Cada día aprendo algo diferente con tus vídeos.🥰🙏
Catalina muchas gracias!!
Kitchen lighting is #1 important.. under cabinets, inside glass cabinetry, and includes signature decorative pieces
ME AT 23 YEARS OLD: YOOO WHICH CLUB WE HITTIN TONIGHTTTT?
ME AT 35: HOW MANY KITCHEN DESIGN MISTAKES WERE MADE IN MINE ? LET'S SEARCH FOR A VIDEO
I laughed so hard 🤣
True true true about upper cabinets
Absolutely waiting on your video on closet design must/mistakes to avoid
Especially love your real time tips
Hello! I’m so glad you agree! I am working on a closet collaboration and it will be out in the next few months ❤️
You're always so accurate in your videos! I have followed all your advice when designing my kitchen and I hope it will turn out great, I hope I can send you a picture or something once it's ready in a couple of weeks.
How very kind of you! Yes please send me a photo. You can send it to my direct messages via Instagram or by email. Nina@ninatakesh.com ❤️
By the way Nina, what do you think of rose gold / shiny copper lamps on a black matte kitchen? I hope it goes well as I just bought them!
Love it! Such a great Comb! So chic 🤍
Totally agree with all your tips
Based on daily life experiences
Even we decided in our next house prep kitchen has to be must.
So great!!! Happy this was helpful ❤️
Love this Kitchen episode. Wished I knew about the upper cabinet before I did my kitchen. Not that they are ugly, I could have made some with steel frame and glass doors to make the place looks more pleasing.
Thank you Jennifer! Maybe next time. 😉
I disagree with the two sinks. We built in two sinks last time and only the prep sink was used. So I’m doing one massive sink this time around:)
I am glad you had the experience. It really depends on your lifestyle. Thank you for watching. xx
Nina...I just put a match to my kitchen ‼️🤣🤣🤣
Starting over tomorrow. I ❤ you!
Haha!!!
This was fun! Wasn’t planning on redesigning my kitchen until next year, but I think I’ll start now....I’m inspired!
So glad! Thank you so much for watching ♥️
great taste Nina. I love seeing beautiful kitchen that is functional
I love your videos, it teaches me a lot... hopefully soon I get to do what I love ( design kitchens and baths)
Thank you for your beautiful work!!
Hello! I’m so glad! Thank you so much David!
Wow
Thank you for watching!
Hi Nina, you look amazing in that dress 👗! Had to watch the video twice, couldn't pay attention to what you were saying the first time!! 😉
Great suggestions, kitchens are my favorite to redo.
Thank you! What a kind thing to say! 🖤
Yesss yess finally! Thank you Nina
Of course Fatma! Thank you for watching 🖤
The faucet!!! So true it’s not highlighted enough, and there’s so many choices! Can you a whole video on faucets? That’s would be awesome
Of course! Such a good idea! Thank you for watching Shann!
Hi Nina, you look very elegant in all your videos and the way you talk captivate us all. Quick question: one wall 19feet wide I want the range to be the focal point; is it better 36" or 48"? Thanks
I am always supposed about 2 things in all American designs . One of them is gas ranges which are looking like dino’s of the world as opposed to induction (not to mix with lower function gas) cooking plates which are elegant, have a variety of sizes and all the functions of a good professional range.
The second one is in the toilet room area- “hanging” toilet which is by far the most popular thing in Europe for the last, I would say, 15-20 years. Hygiene, elegance, ease ….
Ok NINA the fashion!!!! Also kitchen limbo is bad, love the courage to embrace a kitchen that functions to my needs I found out the hard way during pandemic need a prep sink more space for foot traffic ppl swamp the island youre always gonna need extra seating
Thanks, getting ready to build a house and the kitchen IMO is the most important room
Thank you for watching Krista!
Hello Krista, how are you doing today?
my ceilings are 9' my kitchen cabinets to not go to the ceiling. But if I ever remodel they will. And yes I have a few things on top. I took everything down at one time and it looked really plan. I have placed ikea clear drawer liners cut to fit up there and all I have to do is pull them down and wash them every few months. But I do like cabinets all the way to the ceiling. but I hate bulk heads above cabinets worse then space above them. I hate that my refrigerator is not flush with my cabinets worse then my plane oven. Although I do agree, the stove is the focal point of the kitchen. I have lots of lighting. over cabinet, under cabinet, recessed lighting, and island pendants. I hate having lots of stuff on the counter. I think the new pantries they are putting in new homes are awesome and resolve this issue. We use our toaster oven all the time for cooking small amounts of food, way faster than heating up the oven.
I love to see the detailing in your interior desgn videos . Pls try to add more of those too. And do bring one episode on how to coordinate the entire house . Thankyou.
Love your videos! When you say range, do you also mean cooktops? I saw a nice one in your video so wanted to make sure these still counted!! We’re building a new house and I can’t decide if I want a professional style range OR a sleek modern cooktop (heavily leaning towards the 36” wolf gas cooktop that seems to disappear into the countertop and with the apron knobs) and matching oven. I feel like I am getting older and need to think about having to bend down constantly to get into the oven 😂
Hello Christine! I couldn’t agree with you more. I do love a beautiful cooktop with separate ovens. It is a cleaner look, and I am actually doing this is in one of my current projects. You chose the right thing. Good luck!
This video is highly informative and I definitely needed it, so thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us, Nina! 💜
Nina I love these videos! Can you please run through the pros and cons of induction ranges in kitchen design? I feel it’s too modern sometimes but I have breathing issues and natural gas ranges pollute the air. I like a cozier feel like French country. Just don’t know how to bridge it.
Yes great idea!
Excelente video!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!!
Love the video! Definitely the cabinet height!
So glad! Thank you for watching!
Hi Nina, i am in the process of building my house in Melbourne. Seeking some advice on kitchen cabinets. I am planning to go for a shaker profile on my kitchen cabinet doors and unsure on two different things. Firstly, should I go for dulux fairoaks or klavier colour? I like dark kitchen cabinets. Which colour would you suggest? Be mindful that it is a large kitchen with large kitchen island too.
Secondly, do I go for a high gloss or satin finish. I am worried that high gloss could be too glossy....just like a top of piano.
Your advise is truly appreciated and i need to make decisions on this pretty fast. Thanks⚘
Good ideas. I'm in the process of remodeling my small kitchen and don't know where to start. Thank you
Hello Yolanda! Thank you! Good luck remodeling
Great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you 😊
Thank you Ana!
Great video 😊 could you please make a list or suggestions of those affordable beautiful ranges that you mentioned in the video please
Yes, please, that would be very helpful.
Hello Rose! What a good idea! In fact, I will work on a blog post on my Website. So stay tuned!
Hello Gema! I will work on a blog post about that on my Website, so please stay tuned!
That makes a lot of sense.
So glad! Thank you for watching Kannada!
I love the cuff bracelet you are wearing please share where to buy
I so enjoyed this video. Great advise.
Thank you Monica xx
Hello Monica, how are you doing today?
Thank you! My kitchen is white with silver.
Wonderful! Thank you
We are building and I am leaning toward a cooktop with a wall microwave and oven vs a range. What are your thoughts? Thank you for your channel. Your information is quite beneficial and greatly appreciated.
That is tricky. For a modern kitchen I think cooktop and wall ovens are better and for a traditional a range. Good luck!!
I found this very valuable. I'm here for more. Thank you. New Subsrciber
Thank you for subscribing! I’m so glad you found this valuable.
Great video! But one can never have too many recess lights in the kitchen. I’m making mine illuminate like yankee stadium! 🤣🤣🤣
Haha!
Thoughts on catering kitchen? Necessary for larger homes?
❤️Loved this video!!!!! These tips were so great! I especially loved the one about lighting! Statement lighting is so KEY to elevating a space and it’s too often overlooked😭😭😭 Question: I noticed you have a pot-filler in your kitchen. Do you utilize it often or would you say it’s more eye candy? I’m almost sold on them, but not 100% sure....😬😬😬
Hello Tiara! You have a good eye. Yes I do use it whenever I make pasta, and the cost is minimal. So glad you enjoyed the video!
@@NinaTakesh Thank you for that feedback!!!😉 It’s the details that do it for me🥰
I’ve been following your videos from the other side of the pond for the last couple of months since I’m having to make decisions for a whole house, new build, with no experience . Your insights have been wonderful! I’m so inclined to go for the split globe pendant shown on your video ( for that kitchen you’ve designed)however they are contrasting against a black and white background, they look fantastic there , unsure they will work against an white wall/ cashmere cabinets?? I would really value your opinion. Thank you
How sweet of you! They will definitely work against a white cabinet and will show their natural beauty regardless. I do love a tone on tone look!
Really informative video 👍🏾
Thank you so much!
I am I the process of having a huge kitchen remodel. I really wanted a second sink, and my designer talked me out of it!
Oh no! Definitely do a second sink if there is room. It’s so useful! Thank you so much Michelle!
I hate, hate, hate when people decorate with an eye for future resale. Unless you’re flipping the house, you need to decorate for your own tastes and lifestyle. 9/10 when you sell, trends will be different and purchasers will be looking for what is best going to fit their own style or can easily be renovated to that or what’s trendy at the time you actually sell.
Thank you for your insight!
Love your counters, what material are they?
They are a calacatta marble. Thank you Cathy!
Thank you so much for all this advice!!Could you please tell us if not including an island in the kitchen design is a huge mistake or not? thank you in advance! you are amazing!!💌💌💌
Of course Xenia! It is definitely not a mistake. I have an island in my kitchen and it’s so useful! Look at my videos for more about the Kitchen design 🤍
@@NinaTakesh I have watched all of your videos and I am looking forward to your new ones!!Your kitchens are just superb!! Unfortunately, I haven't got an island in my kitchen...Do you think I should definitely add one?Could you also upload more videos about living room remodeling?And outdoor design??thank you so much!!!you are amazing!!💞💞💞
Hello Xenia! Aww thank you! If you have room adding an island is a great idea! That is such a great idea, I will definitely consider those ideas! Thank you for watching 🤍
@@NinaTakesh thank you for all your replies!💓💓
What depth should the bordering kitchen countertops be in a new build on average?
Thank you
Thank you for watching Mara!
Great video! Would you design with 2 or 3 pendant lights for a 10 feet long kitchen island? Looking forward to watching your videos. 👍🏼
Can you share the brand/paint color of your black lacquer kitchen cabinets? They are beautiful.
Thank you. We mixed so many different colors and brands to get the right sheen. Just use black lacquer and you will be golden.
Hi Nina
Where can I get beautiful luxurious ceiling fans with lights for my bedroom and living room. Thank you
Hi Nina are you going to talk about laundry room??? Do we need à sink or not !!
Hello Angie! Yes! We definitely need a sink in a laundry room. It’s so useful! Stay tuned for a video on just that ♥️
My ceiling is 9 feet but the above my cabinets it looks like a trapezoid do you have suggestions on how to work with that or is that also an exception?
Because your ceiling is a trapezoid this would be an exception. Thank you Adriana!
Hi, Nina my my floor is light gray do you think a dark brown dinning table will look nice?????
Depends on what else is happening in the room But it should be ok!
Perfect 🥰
Thank you Jennifer!
Hello Jennifer, how are you doing?
Informative, but clearly not intended for the 10'9" by 7'9" galley with 8'4" ceilings in my 1934 cracker box.
I have to make do with the space I have and have contrived an arrangement with two work triangles, but the aisle is barely wide enough for two people to pass. Cabinets to the ceiling is a great idea, though reaching anything more than six-foot-eight above the floor is awkward and a step-stool is a trip hazard at best.
100% on uppers to the ceiling! We are currently building a granny flat and I did the same in there. I would love to do a zoom call with you on some areas I’m second guessing?
So glad we both agree. Happy to provide you with a zoom call consultation. Here is the link. www.theexpert.com/expert/ninatakesh
Hello Kara, how are you doing today?
Hey I follow you a lot, I have a question regarding kitchen Reno. I have small kitchen so I opted not to add island in my kitchen as it’s a narrow kitchen and physically only 1 foot wide island was the only possibility). My cabinets are about to arrive and I am already regretting not having an island. How should I feel better about it 😞
Hello Thiddi! Honestly, you do not need an island. It would be way too cluttered! So don’t feel sad about it in the least. You made the right choice! Thank you so much!
Less hand movement. You are awesome.
Omg! Petty! You’d perish in Italy 😂
What do you recommend to decorate the top of cabinets with 10 foot cathedral ceiling?
I would leave it empty. No need to decorate that high up. It takes away from the beauty of the kitchen and the room xx
There are no mistakes in decorating or design. You do the look you love and what suits your lifestyle. I have no need for two sinks, a huge stove and two ovens. You might. Rather saying things are a mistake, it would be more realistic to say these are suggestions.
Yes of course they are suggestions. Thank you for watching ❤️
I even didnt bother listening further, after I ve heard of 2 sinks. If THE MOST irritating thing ever is to collide with your own husband in your own kitchen, maybe you should divorce, and have no more problems ever:) I was raised in a large family, and when you get used to working with your loved ones , there is no issue with disturbing each other, even in the least ergonomic kitchen and tiniest kitchen.
Obviously her channel is for rich people
Wow people don’t be negative just be happy she has beautiful taste and she is giving us allot of information that might or might not suit your style
Range, going for induction. Eliminating gas in the house.
Just subscribed to your channel Nina... Fantastic content! Question: Where can you purchase the large globe lights around minute 5:20 of this video? Thanks so much!
Hello Brad! Thank you for the subscription. Please check the description section of the video, as those items are linked. Thank you for watching. Xx
This is a big country. Lots of other places that are not NY or LA have lots of space as well.
Thank you for watching Gala!
🥰
Without upper cabinets where do your dishes go ?
In drawers
I love your ideas, but I’d love for a designer to actually talk about small kitchen remodels and design. Not everyone has open concept. It seems to be a theme amongst CZcams designers to only talk about luxury spaces.
Why would i want to store things in lower cabinets when i can put them in upper cabinets? I guess if you like bending over the whole time to get stuff out….
Second sink!? Loool ...you do realise we aren't all rich with big houses right?
I live in London! Lol
You may have a big house & money, but you really should give advice that carter's for the majority lol
Nah. There’s plenty of channels/tv shows for that. I want to see beautiful design at the high price points too.
Thank you so much!
Hello! I appreciate your point of view, and would never want to alienate anyone. However, in the U.S., unlike Europe, we do have a lot of land and some houses tend to be bigger. Thank you for watching.
Nina the microphone is picking up the clanging sounds of your bracelet(s), it's distracting to me.
My apologies! I will make sure that doesn’t happen again ♥️
I would love to be your plumber. Still waiting for your call beautiful.
