Mr. Pheonix Grey (@mrphoenixgrey) has given himself the title of “design daddy.”
And as an interior artist expert, he posted a video to explain what decor you shouldn’t use in your kitchen.
“Kitchen designs I would avoid,” he said.
First mistake: overhead pot racks.
“This is a terrible idea unless you have spotless pots and pans in pristine condition,” Grey wrote.
The TikTok user thought keeping the kitchen tools out in the open can make the space feel more cluttered.
“Looking at the bottom of pots and pans is the least appealing thing I want in a kitchen,” he admitted.
The second mistake is distressed cabinets.
Grey was annoyed just thinking about the style of cabinetry.
He couldn’t understand why people would pay a ton of money to have their kitchen storage look worn down.
His third mistake was having full subway tile throughout the space.
“Your kitchen is already busy enough and you don’t need to overcomplicate it,” he said.
“Full subway tile to the ceiling makes it look like a trucker restroom stop.”
Grey suggested trying a light grout if you want the subway tile to cover the kitchen walls.
Viewers had mixed opinions about Grey’s decor mistakes.
One woman agreed: “Leaving dishes out like that is so ick and catches dust and dander.”
“Completely disagree with the full subway tile. It’s a classic kitchen lol from the turn of the century kitchen,” an opposer proclaimed.
