Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
Small kitchens, particularly those in urban areas, present unique challenges for homeowners and designers alike. Here, in almost 300 gorgeous colour images, you can tour some of the most spectacular small kitchens to be found. It will help you visualize solutions for your own kitchen, no matter what its size, whether you use it for cooking, dining, or entertaining. Experts offer advice on how the right choices of cabinetry, countertops, appliances, lighting, and storage can enhance the usefulness of even the most compact space. Learn how professional designers tackle the problems of a small urban kitchen: how they circumnavigate storage problems with ingenious space-saving arrangements, using every inch of space available, and then some. Explore how creative homeowners designed their own intimate kitchens to address special needs, in a basement condo, a suburban neighborhood, or even a small, rural cottage. A comprehensive resource section helps you find the award-winning architects and designers featured. This is an invaluable guide for professional kitchen designers and do-it-yourself homeowners everywhere.

Don't waste your money on this book. The kitchens featured are completely ordinary and really present few new ideas on how to use your limited space. I mean, leave the trash can in the center of the kitchen? Well, I guess you could say that _is_ a novel idea. Beyond the issue of the kitchens, many of the pictures are pretty low-grade. Several of the featured kitchens are almost too dark to see, more like you went in with your digital camera and clicked off a few shots as opposed to staging the room professionally. All in all, this is a few dollars I wish I had back.

Well... I know kitchens in the USA are usually larger than the ones in Europe but even then... most kitchens shown in this book are 3 to 4 times bigger than my current kitchen. The book does NOT give you planning tips, no clever cabinet interiors, just pictures of finished kitchens, not even info on how that finished kitchen came to be.
So if you are looking for clever ideas for making the most of small kitchens, DO NOT buy this book!

Small can be efficient and practical yet quite charming as we see in Ashley Rooney's Spectacular Small Kitchens: Design Ideas for Urban Spaces. Almost 40 designers address in eye-catching colour images the functionality and aesthetic considerations of a small kitchen. They balance the desires of the interior architecture and the client's desires and come up with myriad design solutions: from the Feng Shui Kitchen to the integrated kitchen to the long thin kitchen. The book includes an intriguing narrative by Susan Aiello, ASID, CID, about the exciting opportunities and demanding challenges involved in designing small kitchens in large cities. I was lucky and got to see this book before it is out. With so many wonderful and colorful ideas, it is one that anyone ought to have before starting a kitchen renovation.
