Kitchens : Creating Beautiful Rooms from Start to Finish

This House Beautiful guide helps home decorators to create the perfect kitchen.

First, the "Design" section helps you identify your style, decide on an effective layout, figure out infrastructure (lighting, electrics, fittings and appliances) and establish storage needs.

Then, in the "Decorate" section, sumptuous photos provide decorating inspiration for colour schemes, window dressings, finishing touches and more.

Best of all, there's no need to follow one plan from start to finish: pick and choose the elements that seem most practical and appealing to you from the many different options.

The result: a kitchen that's made to order!
