Customer Reviews

The best in this idea mode.

Kitchen Culture: Re-inventing Kitchen Design, does exactly this. It takes those obscure thoughts and whimsys' and shows you it can be done. I showed this to a cabinet maker friend who was very impressed and he said that you could achieve this using cheaper materials if you so wished. He was not daunted by the fact that it was built by an English master craftsman, it merely removed obstacles that shapes can produce. This book fits my "whimsy" well, read enjoy and create.

Kitchen Culture- Johnny Grey

This book is extremely innovative. It is definately not for those who are looking for safe tried and trued kitchen design. It is for anyone who wants to design "out of the box".

Kitchen Culture by Johnny Grey

The best kitchen design book I have ever seen. Grey has spent time evaluating the ergonomics of the kitchen from the proper height for the oven door, space between various dedicated work surfaces to raising the dish washer 14 inches so you never have to bend over to put your dishes in to be cleaned. It makes so much sense and the designs are diversifed from modern to classic traditional - and they are just beautiful! He is ecologically mindful and his advice from floors to counter tops to appliances was eye opening for me and very practical. I am designing my new kitchen based on his recommendations. The best news is it will work for me now with kids and still work for me when I am 75 yeras old thanks to the ergonomic design.

Truly innovative

My husband and I need to update our kitchen. I am a librarian so I have access to a lot of books on kitchen design, but this was by far my favorite, so much so that I bought my own copy. What an innovative way to look at a kitchen! By using bright colors and soft curves, Johnny Grey has opened my eyes to what an inviting space a kitchen can be for my family and I look forward to integrating his concepts into our eventual design.
