Kitchen Industry Technical Manuals, Volume 5, Design Principles for Kitchen Planning

The National Kitchen & Bath Association recognizes that the creation of a successful kitchen plan is rooted in an understanding of the basic elements and principles of design. These abstract principles must be applied to concrete situations to create the personalized designs that today's sophisticated consumers want. Kitchen design professionals must blend design principles with architecture styles, color, themes and the demands of the space and client to obtain the required "look." Beauty and quality must then be combined with function in order to succeed. This volume of the Kitchen Industry Technical Manuals explains the academic elements of design and how to apply them to actual kitchen situations.
