Very dated.

A solid tool if you're totally new to design or you want to re-design your kitchen and don't know where to start. The most useful part of the book was a section in which a page was divided and cut in four different pieces, and then with turn of the page you could see how your flooring would look with kitchen cabinets, walls and kitchen appliances.

Less useful were recommendations and details about different kitchen appliances, as book is extremely British (or USA) oriented and it can't apply in Croatia, for example. All in all, a solid (and fast) way to compare some options. Nothing spectacular, but worth looking at if you don't have enough ideas on your own. Some tips are universal and can be really helpful.

The best part of this book was a section for designing your own kitchen. The page was cut into 4 pieces. You could then mix and match cabinets, back splashes and floors.
