Product Description

Product Description

Is the kitchen a workspace or a living space? Most people would surely answer that it is both. The average family spends more time in the kitchen than in any other room in the home. Yet in many houses and apartments the kitchen is at best a purely functional area to be clothed in efficient-looking fitted cupboards, units and surface, or cluttered with unattractive tables and stools. In this book, a kitchen architect shows that a kitchen can be efficient and contemporary yet at the same time offer the traditional comforts and style of an elegant living space. It shows 'unfitted' kitchens solutions working in every type of kitchen space - from large and lofty to small and awkward. As well as presenting case studies, it is full of ideas that will interest not only anyone planning a new kitchen but also designers, architects, decorators and craft enthusiasts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good ideas for kitchens that go beyond the work triangle., 5 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Kitchen Design: Planning for Comfort and Style (Hardcover)
This book inspired me to do the following: * Create varied work heights; * Put the sink on a wall - not under the window - it makes much more sense as a rack above then allows drips into the sink; * Have only shelves above the work surface - no cupbards; * Paint the kitchen blue!

Although the kitchens in the book are upmarket ones you can take the ideas and apply them to standard ranges - especially if you are willing to mix and match.

Its the only kitchen design book I've recommended to my friends since I read lots of them.

1.0 out of 5 stars Of limited value, 20 Jul 2003
By A Customer
I can't beleive this book could be describe at "The Bible on kitchen design - it is very focussed on the author's style and taste and ignores other styles including most of what can be achieved in the typical sized kitchen in UK and certainly most people's budget.

The book is somewhat self-indulgent and contains items that probably satisfy the author's ego (i.e. how his aunt Elizabeth David had her kitchen and an academic chapter on the history of the kitchen) if not much else.

The author probably is the "the worlds best kitchen designer" but very much in a much Mayfair / Upper East Side sense. If you are below 50 or have less than 50,000 pounds to spend and looking for ideas, or a sourcebook forget it.
