Today's kitchens, as much living and entertaining spaces as areas for preparing and cooking food, play a central role in our homes. But planning these spaces involves so many practical considerations - hygiene, storage, access and safety all need to be taken into account - that it is easy to overlook other important design aspects. And yet the fact is that this most flexible of rooms can be the perfect space into which to introduce bold shots of colour, as well as providing the opportunity to showcase some of your favourite possessions. But how do you go about achieving this? What colours will work best? What type of flooring should you have? Will a country or city style of decor fit in with the rest of the house? What about storage? Do you need a large and extendable table for frequent family gatherings? Or is it dinner for two most nights? Whether you have a small galley kitchen or a large space that you share with others, this ...

"Creative Space" looks at the studios, apartments, and homes of the designers, directors, stylists, artists, graffiti writers, curators, novelists and innovators that are pushing the boundaries of contemporary culture. These are interiors created by people who shop in Colette in Paris, live on the Lower East Side in New York and travel to Tokyo. The domestic spaces are often DIY and strongly reflect pop culture. Filled with post-modern pop collectables, vintage junk finds, camouflage and graffiti, clothing and toy collections, contemporary art resting in bookshelves and crammed onto walls, these homes are an antidote to the sterility of minimalism.Among the interiors featured in the book are those of Barcelona architect Juan Redon, Paris artist Artus de la Villeon, New York graphic designer Corliss Elizabeth Williams, and Berlin gallerist Johann Heahling von Lanzenauer. Each is at the forefront of the creative world, and the spaces ...

"Living with Light" takes its inspiration from the northern hemisphere, where winters are long and light is at a premium, and techniques have been developed to make the most of every available second. The style of Scandinavian interiors has evolved from the people's connection to the seasons and nature. Pale, painted rooms with bleached floors reflect as much light as possible, even in winter when deep snow acts as a reflector during the short hours of daylight. Windows are solidly triple-glazed to keep the heat in so, with no need for heavy curtains, they can be simply swathed with fine fabric. Chapter by chapter, "Living with Light" elaborates on creative ideas for decorating the Scandinavian way, using pastel colours as well as the traditional muted palette, unusual fabrics and display techniques that focus on everything from flowers to kitchenware. The homes featured in these pages are traditional or crisply contemporary, and some ...
