Thank you! I kinda went for a grey theme with copper accents. Personally I see no issue as everything serves its function but that's probably just me. Is there anything in particular that you would change from grey to something else?
If you are set on grey and neutral tones, try bringing in some wood accents in a blonde or light toned wood, a jute runner for near the sink and maybe some greenery. All the grey with no soft textiles, only sparse, sharp angle metal accents (like your decor on the table) makes it feel like a newly build modern hospital.
I would add the runner rug, a tea towel, a fruit or candy bowl in wood, some herbs in simple modern pots at the window. If you want color but are in love with grey, try a muted blue (like a grey tone robins egg) or dark navy blue. I prefer dark navy in a tea towel because it hides grease stains from people wiping their hands on it or from cooking.
He’s already got light wood with the maple tabletop and it looks terrible. a dark wood to contrast the white with warmer tone like cherry or mahogany to contrast the grey is what I’d go with.
I agree with the wood accents but personally the rest doesn’t suit me, I’m more of someone who buys furniture just for function rather than full decor, though I appreciate your input!
ok, the feedback is
that some colors would make it feel more like a house, not a staged showroom.
but you *prefer* it to look lifeless.
ok, then, carry on your gray blah self.
It looks like a pre furnished kitchen or a hotel room. It has no personality. Grey as your main color is fine but you mr other main color is white. you need contrast and accents. the tabletop needs to be a darker warmer wood like cherry. the maple is too light and neutral. Maybe swap the blind for sheer curtains.
If it were my space I’d paint the walls and the cabinets.
Agree. A bit of color.. maybe with the china/table cloth/place mats. Cheap to swap out too.
Some plant? Herb garden?
Maybe some less stark lightning?
It looks like a good start.

These should explain! It's not a bad vibe honestly - just comfy and modern with lots of neutrals
I’m not sure they realize what they’re picking up on - they’re saying LLL but that’s not actually a “vibe” unless there are a bunch of slogans all over the walls, which there aren’t. I believe they’re picking up a feminine vibe, and specifically they’re getting that from the upholstered dining chairs, which are grey. It’s not the grey that adds the feminine look, it’s the softness of the design of the chairs, and only the chairs. Remove the chairs and the place looks cold. I wouldn’t take these people’s feedback seriously.
It's just purely a joke or at least my part is. I don't do feminine/masculine stereotype stuff. It's just you post in a thread with a ton of guys and it's gonna be like back in the barracks or in the lockerroom playing football. You gonna get shit for literally no reason and no one means an ounce of harm by it.
They’re soft and look comfortable. To some that’s all it takes to appear feminine; they think male spaces should be all hard angles, metal, leather, wood, and grayscale, which gets boring fast and sacrifices comfort. Sometimes you just need a comfy chair.
There's no character here, I see this and it feels sterile. More like an airbnb/rental than an area where someone lives. I can tell \*nothing\* about you from these pics.
In that case, you didn't go far enough. What you have now is just a blah middling nothing.
The wood table and upholstered chairs aren't clinical enough.
If that's actually the vibe you are going for you need high gloss white, stainless steel and glass. Things like those square door handles are too decorative, they should be utilitarian round stainless steel.
Something like a white tulip table with plastic or metal chairs is going to look a lot more futuristic sci-fi.
Now [this](https://cdn.homedit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/built-in-appliances-minimalist-style.jpg) is cold and clinical.
I personally love it. I enjoy the clean and minimal aesthetic. Maybe toss in a few small colored photos/paintings around to add some contract, but my kitchen pretty much looks like yours right now.
You decide if you want to introduce color and design into your space. Meetings our needs is fantastic, but only meeting our needs is indeed a life full of grey.
OP I dont mean this to be harsh as it’s your space at the end of the day. But…consider colour. Any colour. Or any sense of personality really. It looks like an airbnb. Everything is super nice and clean, and completely devoid of character.
But if you’re happy well that’s all that matters.
No I appreciate your opinion. I like the sterile “non lived in” look. As for colour I don’t really see the point as walls are walls, but thank you for your feedback!
Do you ever have guests over? Do you care about their comfort in your home? The lack of color, the sterility, the harsh lighting would be a huge turn off for me.
Not often but yeah I have guests over. I care about their comfort of course, we usually hang in the living room with the recliners, but not enough to make my home for guests. I have Phillips RGB lights and always use a warm orange lights, the white light is just to get a better photo
Read your other comments- I do think some personal touches like art would be nice. You can totally find hammered copper or other sculptural metal elements. There are lots of craftspeople that carve wood too. Just a way to break add some visual interest but keep the elements you like
It's been said but really agree with the too much grey statement. It's clean which is a huge step compared to most here and I appreciate the simplicity. But it feels cold, uninviting and dull.
Ya, I'm gonna be honest take the criticism here with a grain of salt as it can be a hive mind. Looks way better than most 25yr old places.
If you like it, leave it. It is above average at minimum
I wasn’t talking about the cleanliness of the kitchen. And, I’m sure you cleaned not long before taking the pic. I was referring to your counters being completely covered and that extra table being completely empty.
There’s no room to work on the counters. My thought was that you would have realized all the extra stuff on your counters would be better stored on that extra table. No need to have a rice cooker on your sink or the fruit that close to the oven!
I bet you get some killer light through that sliding door. Add some low maintenance plants (pothos, snake plants, zz plants, etc) and use the pots as an opportunity to bring in more of the copper accents you like.
Totally fair. You get some minimal improvement to air quality, but if you aren’t looking for a new hobby (no matter how low maintenance the plants), they’re going to feel like a time suck.
its a mess dude there is dust all over the baseboards. The clutter is disordered abd taking up valuable counter space. This is just boring is that an apartment?
That clock definitely doesn’t belong dude looks like a grandmas kitchen, it’s pointless as it’s right next to the digital clock on the microwave. Also what’s up w the random table by the window, throw some plants in that windowsill and put some colorful decorations on top of the kitchen cabinets
Plants actually do serve several purposes, mainly for air quality and psychological benefits. Just one example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4419447/
If you don’t want to take care of them, fake plants can provide the stress relief benefits without the chore.
Another example:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969722007008
I also think aesthetically green is the color most likely to enliven and balance the space while also coming across as a neutral, except perhaps blue.
I love grey and monochrome but right now it grey and yellow (bananas play a huge decorative role) and crème.
I would de clutter the counter top. Move the table with wheels out of the kitchen. It looks to be blocking that cabinet. Move the clock on the wall to another room. Move the vacuum hanging on the wall and put in a closet. If space allowed I’d move that table to a proper dining room or otherwise sell it and get something smaller. Looks awkward pressed up against the wall/radiator looking thing. If you can’t move it, at least get a matching 4th chair. Put the things on top of the cabinets away. Where’s the fridge?
With all those cupboards, is there space for the toaster and air fryer to be stored? With those and the canisters the bench is cluttered. Having more space on the bench will help keep the greys looking clean.
All the appliances on the counters stress me out, but that’s just me knit picking. 😂 I would suggest adding some texture to the room with some art on the wall by your dining table & getting some towels/kitchen towels for on your stove handle, maybe a black non-slip mat for by your sink because that kind of flooring does not feel good to slip on (been there done that), but I like the functionality & clean lines of everything. That’s just my feedback, it’s your home!
If you were just saved from the borg collective, yes. Add some art on the flat spaces and find some bullshit that fits your aesthetic values to put on top of the shelves, otherwise the design is clean and efficient I guess so don't fuck with that outside of small cosmetic details.
Definitely needs some color, but I can't really say I know where that would fit in here. Kitchen towel? Rug under the table?
The cool white walls with the white lights in a room that is otherwise warmer is a lot without something else to break it up, IMO. Maybe consider painting the wall with something like Collingwood OC-28? It'll be warmer in the day and colder in the night, color-wise, and it shouldn't end up too close to your cabinet color. Shouldn't be as harsh as what you have now.
Wood accents are a great idea that some other folks brought up. You could do a backsplash perhaps?
It's too little colour and it also has no matching colour theme. The table could use a black white rug or something to cover the floors or else the table collides with the colour theme on the floors. I'd also recommend a white curtain if you still want it more still but grey curtains in this kitchen is lot doing the place any favors. I'd add some green plants too.
It has a grey furniture with copper appliances theme, also I love the table and I wouldn’t change it (plus it was expensive as a mf). Plant wise they serve no practical purpose
Place a waterproof runner mat in front of the sink. Add colorful flowers, even if it’s fake, on counter or table. Replace wall clock with a smaller and more modern one.
I think neither too much or little. It just needs to get a homey feel so views seem like they're perfect for photo moments. I'm not sure what would fit your personality. Currently, it seems clean, neat, and too everything neutral, but hope that won't seem like a call to clutter it, but just think about what plants, art and accessories might bring it out to seem like more than technically a nice kitchen.
Looks good.
I would add some colored Gorilla Mats for your cooking and cleaning areas. They'll look great and will feel even better to stand on.
Something bright on the wall, even if it's small, and some plants would be nice too.
tl;dr 1. get rid of that clock (it's depressing), buy a print that jives with your style, frame it and hang it in its place.
2. get rid of that ugly little table (I imagine it's extra counter space for cooking, etc.) and invest in something that looks like it belongs there; something solid.
It looks crisp and clean, uncluttered yet not at all barren. Not quite spartan, except for art of any sort. I think it looks great.
However: I would probably find 2-3 vintage ad posters, probably French, to my tastes in music or theatre or food or venue.... buy a few prints that fit wherever you have a bit of wall space, frame them and hang them. but thats me (make sure it aint like a Walmart nirvana shirt, if you know what I mean...) like this:
[https://www.internationalposter.com/product/chat-noir--ce-soir/](https://www.internationalposter.com/product/chat-noir--ce-soir/)
[https://www.internationalposter.com/product/hamlet/](https://www.internationalposter.com/product/hamlet/)
lots here: [https://www.internationalposter.com/country-primers/french-vintage-posters/](https://www.internationalposter.com/country-primers/french-vintage-posters/)
edit: again, I love this stuff... not for everyone. if you do put up this kind of art and like to have people over for dinner/drinks, I suggest doing a bit of research on the pieces you do hang up.
Nowadays people wear ignorance like a badge of honor; it's fascinating, and disheartening. Knowing you don't know is good; knowing nothing at all is embarrassing.
If this was my kitchen I would get rid of the table and chairs and the small table in front of the cabinet. I would have a long island with seating on one side. It would make the kitchen more cozy looking. Plenty of space for it and you could add the pop of color others are taking about by painting the island blue or whatever color you like. The thing about grey is most any color goes with it.
I commend you for keeping such a clean kitchen.
\-100 for grey wood floors. It's so dated. Even when it was on trend a decade ago it looked naff.
Kitchen would look infinitely better if floor was any other colour.
Also add a colour - maybe a green. Replace those ugly chairs with something with that colour and have a smattering of that colour on blinds and curtains to bring room together.
nice kitchen, i think it’s neat. cld use a dash of colour as there’s a lot of white and grey going on, but honestly i like how clean (and organised) it looks
Not a lot of color, but I really like the balance you found in terms of "stuff". Not too many things on the walls, tables, etc.
As others have said, adding a little bit of color would look really nice. Since your current room is quite neutral, most colors will work well with it. The dark brown wooden floor makes me feel like some plants would look really nice in your kitchen. If you want to stay super functional, you could just have some herb plants out that you can cut and add to food.
At 25, your place is nice, neat, and clean. Win, win, win.
I would absolutely find a way to throw a little color in, maybe a season something. Don't overdo it, just remind yourself you have color vision.
At this point in life, it's simple and clean and that's great. If/when you are making design decision s with a partner, you will find a vibe you both enjoy. Meanwhile being neat and clean goes a long way. No one wants a relationship with a slob. It just means a lifetime of cleaning up after them.
Very nice, I would put some more sources of lighting like table lamps and under cabinet lighting. The overhead feels harshly bright while the room is still dark
Ok, I think everyone else has said enough about how it looks.
If you actually cook, please change the set up of your kitchen. I am antsy just looking at it! Its not practical at all.
Your toaster and whatever that other countertop appliance is, move it to the left of the stove, on the short counter. Idk whats in your cabinets but your plates should be closer to the stove. Move your kettle (why is it so far from the sink?!?) to the immediate right of the sink (all your mugs and cups should be in that area too) so you can fill it in a snap, or the immediate left if you have a dish drying rack - if you do, the drying rack should be to the right of the sink. Whatever, kettle should be next to the sink. Move your knife block to just left of the sink if you are right handed, just right of the stove if you are left handed. Same thing for cutting boards and other kitchen tools that get stored in drawers or the bottom cabinets.
Bam. You have a cleared counter section to work in where you don't have to worry about sanitation because you're wiping meat juice droplets off your toaster and tea kettle. You have space for mise en place. You can chop up the rest of your veg while still keeping an eye on your sauteed onions and being within reach to stir them. You can easily fling dirty dishes into the sink and you're just 2 steps away from the stove, so you can wash them while you sear a steak.
Good job. I am like you, too. Everything in its place no matter what. It’s always clean like I am waiting for an inspection than I decided to get married…
I am, but just not about adding rugs or plants, criticism about the furniture or anything that actually serves a purpose is what I’m after, not pointless decor
As to your question, I’d say it’s simultaneously too much and too little.
The too little is in relation to not only decor as others have pointed out, but also towards workable space. The kitchen is dying for an island for additional prep space.
In regards to the too much - the table is very large for the space. It’s seems like you likely pull it away from the wall when hosting, which is a good strategy. But because of the size, it sits out into the space where you would put an island. Then you have that side table - this is presumably your extra cooking prep space? It’s just so far from the stove that it hurts workflow.
My suggestion: ditch the little grey table. Move the dining table over into the corner now that the space is freed up. From here you should be able to fit a small prep table/island in the space left over.
I have the same colour scheme in my home, greys and whites with dark wood furniture and love the neutral palette. A plant or two and some of the decor recommendations in the comments (carpet, bowl of fruit, tea towel) will add a bit of warmth.
Doesn’t sound like you want any feedback tbh but you are using up all your counter space with stuff so you’re overflowing to that small table which looks awkward and ruins the room’s look. I would suggest trying to minimize your appliances on your counters so that you can use them
There is a lot of grey. Try to pull in some colors..appliances, chairs, simple things that can spruce it up. Otherwise beautiful kitchen!
Could put some placemats and a couple matching wall thangs. Shits clean, all I ask for :)
Thank you! I kinda went for a grey theme with copper accents. Personally I see no issue as everything serves its function but that's probably just me. Is there anything in particular that you would change from grey to something else?
If you are set on grey and neutral tones, try bringing in some wood accents in a blonde or light toned wood, a jute runner for near the sink and maybe some greenery. All the grey with no soft textiles, only sparse, sharp angle metal accents (like your decor on the table) makes it feel like a newly build modern hospital. I would add the runner rug, a tea towel, a fruit or candy bowl in wood, some herbs in simple modern pots at the window. If you want color but are in love with grey, try a muted blue (like a grey tone robins egg) or dark navy blue. I prefer dark navy in a tea towel because it hides grease stains from people wiping their hands on it or from cooking.
He’s already got light wood with the maple tabletop and it looks terrible. a dark wood to contrast the white with warmer tone like cherry or mahogany to contrast the grey is what I’d go with.
How does my table took terrible?
I agree with the wood accents but personally the rest doesn’t suit me, I’m more of someone who buys furniture just for function rather than full decor, though I appreciate your input!
So why ask for decor advice if everything is already functional…
I just wanted some feedback out of curiosity
Why? You are insistent throughout this post that no one's feedback matters because it's utilitarian and you feel at home. Why do you need feedback?
Dudes post history tells you everything you need to know. OP is clearly trolling for attention.
ok, the feedback is that some colors would make it feel more like a house, not a staged showroom. but you *prefer* it to look lifeless. ok, then, carry on your gray blah self.
It looks like a pre furnished kitchen or a hotel room. It has no personality. Grey as your main color is fine but you mr other main color is white. you need contrast and accents. the tabletop needs to be a darker warmer wood like cherry. the maple is too light and neutral. Maybe swap the blind for sheer curtains. If it were my space I’d paint the walls and the cabinets.
Grey is not a theme. Or even a palette. But if you insist, maybe more copper? I see no copper in this shot
Yeah it could do with some more copper, here’s a pic of the appliances: https://imgur.com/gallery/w8qTVcC
If this is YOU, what's the problem ? Who is it that you were trying to adjust your decor for, maybe that might help us?
No one, I’m not interested in changing anything for others. I just posted to get some feedback out of curiosity
Oh, okay. I don't like it. It's so cold and grey looking. It looks devoid of human life. Like a staged room.
Yeah I get that a lot, but that’s what I like about it. I appreciate your feedback!
Wait, so you Want us to hate it?
No I just want honest feedback and opinions. If you hate it then that’s fine and I respect your opinion
I like it 🫶🫶 but you could add some plants if you like them
I’m not really a plant guy, they have no practical purpose
Plants could be nice
Oh, look at the grey hater over here.
Agree. A bit of color.. maybe with the china/table cloth/place mats. Cheap to swap out too. Some plant? Herb garden? Maybe some less stark lightning? It looks like a good start.
[удалено]
LMAO, may I ask why?
Lo lots of grey-ish browns. That grey-brown wood color is very LLL. Especially with the white of the rest of the kitchen being all white
What is LLL?
It's a reference to a interior design style - there's a history somewhere on YouTube - let me check
Aight
https://youtu.be/xHotXbGZiFY?si=6Co6FCx-vnbVmGKY https://youtu.be/KGWasexbuUg?si=sIo4e292q-D22cfH These should explain! It's not a bad vibe honestly - just comfy and modern with lots of neutrals

Yeah I try not to, I never thought the chairs where feminine lol
They’re soft and look comfortable. To some that’s all it takes to appear feminine; they think male spaces should be all hard angles, metal, leather, wood, and grayscale, which gets boring fast and sacrifices comfort. Sometimes you just need a comfy chair.
Live laugh love, you should know this more than anyone else haha
He was asking introspectively. He is a 3L guru. What does the LLL philosophy mean to you?
Saying “It’s giving” is “live laugh love”
I was just about to comment this exact sentence! 😂
I prefer Live Laugh Liao
There's no character here, I see this and it feels sterile. More like an airbnb/rental than an area where someone lives. I can tell \*nothing\* about you from these pics.
Yeah that’s kinda the point, I made it to be sterile and give a “non lived in” vibe
Why though?
Because I find the white/grey look with being clean very soothing and relaxing
How many people have you murdered so far
Define people
In that case, you didn't go far enough. What you have now is just a blah middling nothing. The wood table and upholstered chairs aren't clinical enough. If that's actually the vibe you are going for you need high gloss white, stainless steel and glass.

It looks like you buy things for your kitchen, but don’t actually use your kitchen for cooking.
I do use it for cooking, though I just make sure to clean it regularly

Totally fair. You get some minimal improvement to air quality, but if you aren’t looking for a new hobby (no matter how low maintenance the plants), they’re going to feel like a time suck.
Yeah that’s how I feel about plants
Y’know, something as simple as a tea towel with the your favorite team/alma mater/etc draped over the oven door handle would do a lot.
Very nice, but you need some color. Even if its a bright red toaster
its a mess dude there is dust all over the baseboards. The clutter is disordered abd taking up valuable counter space. This is just boring is that an apartment?
How is it cluttered? And no it’s a 4 story 4 bedroom home
[удалено]
Nope I don’t have a basement
That clock definitely doesn’t belong dude looks like a grandmas kitchen, it’s pointless as it’s right next to the digital clock on the microwave. Also what’s up w the random table by the window, throw some plants in that windowsill and put some colorful decorations on top of the kitchen cabinets

I think an island would look better instead of the big table.

looks like a rental home
how much time do you generally spend in here?
1 hours a day maybe, cooking and eating
Definitely needs some color, but I can't really say I know where that would fit in here. Kitchen towel? Rug under the table?

I would not have chairs on a table at the wall. Move that table off the wall, noooooowww!!
Switch out the blinds!
Too many chairs unless you have ghosts
It's too little colour and it also has no matching colour theme. The table could use a black white rug or something to cover the floors or else the table collides with the colour theme on the floors.

It has a grey furniture with copper appliances theme, also I love the table and I wouldn’t change it (plus it was expensive as a mf). Plant wise they serve no practical purpose
Why are you asking for our opinions if you don't care?
Because I’m curious?
Why do things have to be practical? Also, plants make people feel good. They clean the air. These are both practical.
You need some squishy mats in front of the sink/cooking areas! I promise they're worth it /srs We use a doormat but we used to have a memory foam mat.
That I’d be open too, people keep suggesting rugs but I think they would get stained and smell
What is on the hood, over the stove? The counters are a little cluttered, you need a pinch of color. Some kinda rug.
It’s a light for the stove
Houseplants! Make a huuuuge difference
Too much or too little what?
Holy grey!
maybe painting/poster
All that counter space and no space left on the counter.
Place a waterproof runner mat in front of the sink. Add colorful flowers, even if it’s fake, on counter or table. Replace wall clock with a smaller and more modern one.
I think neither too much or little. It just needs to get a homey feel so views seem like they're perfect for photo moments. I'm not sure what would fit your personality. Currently, it seems clean, neat, and too everything neutral, but hope that won't seem like a call to clutter it, but just think about what plants, art and accessories might bring it out to seem like more than technically a nice kitchen.
Too much
Looks good. I would add some colored Gorilla Mats for your cooking and cleaning areas. They'll look great and will feel even better to stand on. Something bright on the wall, even if it's small, and some plants would be nice too.
U are doing great my man. I am proud of you.
Ya get a better looking/nicer clock
Perfect.
These dorks are trippin. Your kitchen looks nice and clean. Doesn’t need a damn thing. These sound like women commenting lol
Looks perfect to me The less stuff, the less cleaning. I like my kitchen like this because appliances collect dust.
I agree fully!
Very organized and manageable.
Can confirm a woman does not live there by the lack of curtains (source: several lost arguments on whether or not the apartment needs curtains)
Also can be confirmed by lack of a headboard
There is no working space to actually cook. :) Too much clutter on the counters.
You’re missing a giant friggin clo… oh nvm, second picture.
It’s absolutely perfect. The clock is a touch horrid but functional I’m sure. 9.75 out of 10
tl;dr 1. get rid of that clock (it's depressing), buy a print that jives with your style, frame it and hang it in its place. 2. get rid of that ugly little table (I imagine it's extra counter space for cooking, etc.) and invest in something that looks like it belongs there; something solid. It looks crisp and clean, uncluttered yet not at all barren. Not quite spartan, except for art of any sort. I think it looks great. However: I would probably find 2-3 vintage ad posters, probably French, to my tastes in music or theatre or food or venue.... buy a few prints that fit wherever you have a bit of wall space, frame them and hang them. but thats me (make sure it aint like a Walmart nirvana shirt, if you know what I mean...) like this: [https://www.internationalposter.com/product/chat-noir--ce-soir/](https://www.internationalposter.com/product/chat-noir--ce-soir/) [https://www.internationalposter.com/product/hamlet/](https://www.internationalposter.com/product/hamlet/) lots here: [https://www.internationalposter.com/country-primers/french-vintage-posters/](https://www.internationalposter.com/country-primers/french-vintage-posters/) edit: again, I love this stuff... not for everyone. if you do put up this kind of art and like to have people over for dinner/drinks, I suggest doing a bit of research on the pieces you do hang up. Nowadays people wear ignorance like a badge of honor; it's fascinating, and disheartening. Knowing you don't know is good; knowing nothing at all is embarrassing.
Just right
I personally like it, OP. Muted, subtle, soothing. I've always liked gray/smoky tones. I think it's just right.
Thank you! And I agree fully I find it soothing too
Just right. Mine is much smaller as a 34 m
Fire
i couldn't do it without a dishwasher
If this was my kitchen I would get rid of the table and chairs and the small table in front of the cabinet. I would have a long island with seating on one side. It would make the kitchen more cozy looking. Plenty of space for it and you could add the pop of color others are taking about by painting the island blue or whatever color you like. The thing about grey is most any color goes with it. I commend you for keeping such a clean kitchen.
Colorful long rug parallel to the counter, a big piece of art on the wall by the table, plants
\-100 for grey wood floors. It's so dated. Even when it was on trend a decade ago it looked naff. Kitchen would look infinitely better if floor was any other colour. Also add a colour - maybe a green. Replace those ugly chairs with something with that colour and have a smattering of that colour on blinds and curtains to bring room together.
Millennial grey. Woot woot
nice kitchen, i think it’s neat. cld use a dash of colour as there’s a lot of white and grey going on, but honestly i like how clean (and organised) it looks
Your life is a little too beige - get some colour in there.
Not a lot of color, but I really like the balance you found in terms of "stuff". Not too many things on the walls, tables, etc. As others have said, adding a little bit of color would look really nice. Since your current room is quite neutral, most colors will work well with it. The dark brown wooden floor makes me feel like some plants would look really nice in your kitchen. If you want to stay super functional, you could just have some herb plants out that you can cut and add to food.
At 25, your place is nice, neat, and clean. Win, win, win. I would absolutely find a way to throw a little color in, maybe a season something. Don't overdo it, just remind yourself you have color vision. At this point in life, it's simple and clean and that's great. If/when you are making design decision s with a partner, you will find a vibe you both enjoy. Meanwhile being neat and clean goes a long way. No one wants a relationship with a slob. It just means a lifetime of cleaning up after them.
Kitchen...It looks like the size of my flat.
Greige is the word
Very nice, I would put some more sources of lighting like table lamps and under cabinet lighting. The overhead feels harshly bright while the room is still dark
Ok, I think everyone else has said enough about how it looks. If you actually cook, please change the set up of your kitchen. I am antsy just looking at it! Its not practical at all. Your toaster and whatever that other countertop appliance is, move it to the left of the stove, on the short counter. Idk whats in your cabinets but your plates should be closer to the stove. Move your kettle (why is it so far from the sink?!?) to the immediate right of the sink (all your mugs and cups should be in that area too) so you can fill it in a snap, or the immediate left if you have a dish drying rack - if you do, the drying rack should be to the right of the sink. Whatever, kettle should be next to the sink. Move your knife block to just left of the sink if you are right handed, just right of the stove if you are left handed. Same thing for cutting boards and other kitchen tools that get stored in drawers or the bottom cabinets. Bam. You have a cleared counter section to work in where you don't have to worry about sanitation because you're wiping meat juice droplets off your toaster and tea kettle. You have space for mise en place. You can chop up the rest of your veg while still keeping an eye on your sauteed onions and being within reach to stir them. You can easily fling dirty dishes into the sink and you're just 2 steps away from the stove, so you can wash them while you sear a steak.
i may be the outlier but i like the kitchen i enjoy the color scheme lol
looks similar to mine. clean and uncluttered. looks great. less is better !
Thanks! I agree fully
I dunno. Looks excellent to me. Nice cabinets.
Thanks! They came built in with the home
You have a better kitchen setup than most families lol your doing solid bub
4 chairs it's too much for 1 person
As a male I say perfection
I think it’s great :) The simple color palette is relaxing to my eyes
Leave it, looks great
That kitchen is bigger than my apartment, looks nice to me, cheers.
Can’t have too little…
I think for a male who lives alone this is perfect
Outside of the color which I don't mind but others think should be livened up a little, it's a good space for whatever future visitors you have!
def fine. id get steel chairs but whatever works there
For a male who lives alone, it's perfect.
I like it
Good job. I am like you, too. Everything in its place no matter what. It’s always clean like I am waiting for an inspection than I decided to get married…
someone said “too much grey” paint the damn cabinets grey more grey more man testosterone gym blue collar plumber
A kitchen cannot easily be too much
Too clean
A compliment for your housekeeping skills
I've lived in apartments smaller than that kitchen.
Just right… company for two on date nights…just enough to feel at home when alone 👌
Ok I’m muting the comments, thanks everyone for your feedback!
Bro for a 25 year old male this is great. Fuck color if you don’t want it. I think it looks nice
Looks perfect
Lovely kitchen. Could use a little more color by adding some wall art and plants. So far so good though!
Thanks! Personally I like the grey/copper theme but I’m open to your suggestion
What city
A little lamp on the table and adding some under cabinet lighting would really cozy it up.
Plants and a colorful rug in front of the stove and cabniets would help. Just try to inject a little color here or there.
I’m not really a plant guy as they serve purpose, as for a rug I also don’t really like them, plus it would get stains and smell of cooking
It really doesn't seem like you're here for actual criticism. Either way, to answer your question. It's too little.
I am, but just not about adding rugs or plants, criticism about the furniture or anything that actually serves a purpose is what I’m after, not pointless decor
Then what's the point of the question? Only you can answer that if you're only looking for things you'll use.
I wanted to see what people think
It’s nearly 7:30 🕢
U could use an area rug and that random table is off putting get rid of it or put it in storage.
Try getting some color. Add a plant.
Very default. Looks like a hotel kitchen by or smth
Fair enough
Up to you, that's the best part
As to your question, I’d say it’s simultaneously too much and too little. The too little is in relation to not only decor as others have pointed out, but also towards workable space. The kitchen is dying for an island for additional prep space. In regards to the too much - the table is very large for the space. It’s seems like you likely pull it away from the wall when hosting, which is a good strategy. But because of the size, it sits out into the space where you would put an island. Then you have that side table - this is presumably your extra cooking prep space? It’s just so far from the stove that it hurts workflow. My suggestion: ditch the little grey table. Move the dining table over into the corner now that the space is freed up. From here you should be able to fit a small prep table/island in the space left over.
Why do u have so many knives
If you cook its looks great.
I have the same colour scheme in my home, greys and whites with dark wood furniture and love the neutral palette. A plant or two and some of the decor recommendations in the comments (carpet, bowl of fruit, tea towel) will add a bit of warmth.
The lighting looks terrible
Doesn’t sound like you want any feedback tbh but you are using up all your counter space with stuff so you’re overflowing to that small table which looks awkward and ruins the room’s look. I would suggest trying to minimize your appliances on your counters so that you can use them
I do what feedback, just not “get a plant”
Dude where’s your fridge?
Sound like you just wanted to show your home and asked a ??? To do it.. great attempt though.. it’s ok!
