We bought this when we started thinking about a new kitchen and dining addition. It really was a big help to narrow down our choices. THere's nothing worse than feeling as if you know what you want but you can't explain it or you haven't seen a picture of it anywhere. This book has many photos of lots of different types of kitchens, not just one style or size. It isn't arranged kitchen by kitchen, and there aren't any floor plans. PHotos are shown part by part, cabinets, sinks, pantries, etc, so its handy to see all the sinks together. We have not started work on the kitchen yet but I can't wait!!

I borrowed this from the public library then decided to purchase my own copy. I have a tiny kitchen to update and this book was the most useful I found. It has separate chapters on cabinetry, counterops and sinks, appliances, floors and lighting. In countertops there are descriptions of the different materials and illustrations of various edge treatments. Lots of color photographs, great storage ideas.

Terrific book for someone at the beginning of the planning/design process. Gives alternatives for all design elements that must be taken into account. For example, the cabinet section looks at alternatives for: doors and drawers, finishes for tops and bottoms, materials and finishes, hardware and accessories.

I purchased three highly-rated kitchen design books off Amazon, and I have to say this is my favorite of the three. There are so many post-it notes sticking out of the book that it has almost doubled in size. Ok, maybe not that many, but the many ideas in this book spawned other ideas that are sure to help my fiancee and I design a kitchen that will last us the rest of our lives.

This is a phenomenal book full of great ideas for a kitchen project from the very simple and low cost to a total overhaul. I've referenced this book several times and own several of the Idea Books. It's a great series for anyone considering decorating and/or remodeling.

Book breaks down most of the different elements of kitchen design. A great resource for ideas on remodeling a kitchen.

I refer back to this book frequently for design ideas. Very Thorough and Entertaining. Love the photos and it is a great quality.

Of the half-dozen kitchen design books I've picked up so far, this is the one I come back to most. Well-organized, lots of ideas, many high-quality photos.

i like this kitchen idea book, it is very informative and it has lots of different styles and beautiful pictures.
