Purchase options and add-ons

Can't Fail Color Schemes--Kitchens and Baths addresses one of the most difficult decorating decisions a homeowner has to make when building or renovating a kitchen or bath: choosing colors for the many permanent—and expensive—materials and finishes. The so-called "safe" neutral route has many pitfalls...all beiges are not equal!

As she did in Can't Fail Color Schemes, color expert Amy Wax explains how to look at color specific to stone, tile, laminate products, fixtures, and paint, and provides hundreds of palettes that homeowners can use to inspire and coordinate their own scheme or take along to a home center or showroom.

“...a complete guide to selecting color for one's kitchen or bath...” FORECASTAugust 2008

Book Description

Author (Can't Fail Color Schemes) and color expert Amy Wax zeroes in on choosing colors exclusively for the kitchen and bath.

One of the most difficult decorating choices a homeowner has to make concerns selecting colors for tile, stone, cabinets, fixtures, and other elements in a kitchen or bathroom. Even the "safe" neutral route has many pitfalls...all beiges are not equal! And even professional designers may have a hard time finding the right shade of granite to coordinate with the colors of the stain used on the cabinets, the tile floor, the faucets, and so forth.

Permanent features...countertops, floors, cabinets, plumbing fixtures...are expensive to replace, and homeowners can't afford to simply swap them out if they don't match. That's why all homeowners need the advice and visual guidance of Can't Fail Color Schemes--Kitchens & Baths.

Great "look book" for kitchens and baths

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2008

Verified Purchase

This handy spiral-bound book is brimming with lots of great photos showing you hundreds of ideas for kitchens and baths, all in one place. Amy Wax shows a wide range of styles and color palettes, then on each page suggests other colors that could be brought in to accent each room. This is a great visual reference to help you get started planning your kitchen and bath, or help you communicate with a designer.

Pretty pictures, but once you have flipped through it, there is no real take-away. Spend your money on a decorating magazine instead. It will ahve more staying power.

Excellent Decorating Resource

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2008

This is one of the best decorating books for selecting "colors" that I have come across. The book is loaded with lovely colorful illustrations for your kitchens and baths. You are able to visualize various color combos, that you might have thought about, but would have been a little hesitant to try on your own. I loved the fact that the photos showed different types and colors of kitchen cabinets, along with various choices of paint colors.

If you are looking for a fabulous book to help you ease your decorating anxiety, try this one.

This book is great!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2008

This book is the perfect companion to Ms. Wax's first book,"Can't Fail Color Schemes". The reader get's a chance to dig further into the importance of color when selecting important features such as floors, countertops and cabinetry. It has a very user friendly format and and is easy to take with you when you shop.
I look forward to the next book from this talented author!!

Excellent Resource!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2008

This book was very useful to me while we designed our new kitchen. I felt confident that we were making informed choices. The book helped us to narrow down our style, color and material preferences. The photos are excellent and allowed us to see all our options. I would recommend this book for anyone doing a kitchen or bath remodel.

Great pics and ideas

We had a hideous bathroom, and this book gave us lots of ideas, at different price points, to improve the appearance of our bathroom. We're considering implementing some of the kitchen ideas, too. Well worth the price.
