3 Interior Designers Transform The Same Galley Kitchen | Space Savers | Architectural Digest

We gave interior designers Courtney McLeod, Sasha Bikoff, and Becky Carter a photo of the same galley kitchen—then asked each of them to create a new design for it in their particular style, however they pleased with no restrictions. Three artists, one canvas, each bringing something different to the space. See which designer comes closest to creating your dream kitchen.

I love that Sasha moved the sink under the window and balanced the off-center window with herbs.

[MyWeirdNormal]

I'm not usually into pink but that beautiful pink and blue kitchen absolutely has my vote. I love fun color in kitchens!

[janicerivera]

I adore this continued series of presenting 3 designers who are given free range to express their creativity. So much fun watching and listening to the process of them developing their own, unique visions.

[tbillington]

I'd love to see a Becky and Darren collaboration, the outcome would be crazy and ridiculous and stunning and expensive all at once.

[bonstarfitness]

Really amazed at how the curved cabinets in Becky’s design made that space look soooo much bigger!! Super creative 🤩

[SlodWick]

I love seeing how different brains interpret the same assignment - and I am consistently impressed with the digital artist bringing their visions to life.

[googlyotterr]

I'm actually really curious what the designers would do with an outdoor space/pool. Love this series AD!

[asaliearthwork]

Courtney's design is absolutely gorgeous, creative, and somehow still functional. I'd actually be able to live with a kitchen like that.

[ezathel]

Really love Sasha's design. Was worried that it might be too cold at first, but the warm lighting and the plants really brought it to life. It's clean, not jarring or distracting in any way, it just complements the space perfectly.

[margaridaserra]

I loved Becky's design, IMO she's the one who better answered the prompt of no budget, no client just go crazy and have fun. Yes, realistically this wouldn't be the most practical and budget-friendly kitchen but it's a great way to exercise one's creativity :)

[amayajones]

I’m gonna say it. I need the window to be aligned with the center of the wall. The fact that it’s not is driving me nuts.😂😤

[kayelle]

Every single one of these AD 3 designers episodes just reinforces for me how much I value the perfect execution of form and function. Seeing designers throw function and sustainability out the window increases my respect for industrial designers.

[rialimpe]

Pink is my least favorite color, yet I’m sold on Courtney‘s kitchen. I’m amazed at spacious her design made that tiny kitchen look.

[jovt]

I wouldn’t want to live in any of these places, but I appreciate that they were creative.

[aprilh]

Courtney's outfit is literally the color pallette of her kitchen design😂

[LoveToday]

I'm glad Courtney, who I share a name with🥰, had the kitchen I loved most. I've been daydreaming about a kitchen that incorporated pink and her design really spoken to me 😍

[madisonkay_yay]

I love Courtney’s design, it’s so mesmerizing & beautiful 🩵✨

[jaanvisoni]

Waited more than a month for this video!! :)
AD, can you please make these kinds of videos more often ?

[NextToToddliness]

These were all really great. I liked almost everything. Except, those slanted cabinets. That would personally give me anxiety, even if it was largely subconscious. Though, I'm getting late-80's / early-90's Miami aesthetic, which I love. Very Birdcage (1996). If I had to choose one, I'd have to go with Courtney's. It's fun and brings a lot of joy into a space that's often cold, minimalist & utilitarian.
