1000 Kitchen Ideas

Stafford Cliff has spent a lifetime looking at homes, whether desigining or writing brochure brochures, catalogues and magazines and so it is fitting that 1000 Kitchen Ideas, his third in the series, has his name to it. It brings together a myriad of photographs to inspire you, an inexhausitible source book of ideas.

RESTYLE YOUR KITCHEN

Images are the driving force in these three books, they are short on words letting the pictures do the talking. From the quirky, weird and wonderful, every corner of a kitchen is addressed, whether you're preference is country style or urban chic. With chapters devoted to style and function, cooking and eating, storage solutions (lots of open shelves) and display options, Christian Sarramon's enigmatic and studied photographs capture kitchens at their finest. Some certainly have a still life quality about them.

WHY BUY IT

You won't find a better source book on the market, every style and function is captured in this glossy coffee table book.

1000 HOME IDEAS

The first in the series, 1000 Home Ideas bursts with inspirational ideas on how to enhance original features and add your own stamp on your home. Who couldn't be charmed by the chapter on steps and banisters with over 100 different pictures from chic French stairwells to a stone staircase in an ancient manor, alongside giddying spirals and suspended steps. In the chapter on kitchens, you will find some of the same images as in 1000 Kitchen Ideas but that's not a problem with the wealth of other visual content on offer. As the book draws to a close it reaches outwards taking us on to the next in the series.

1000 GARDEN IDEAS

There are even more ideas in this book with every page a patchwork of pictures. There are fewer double spreads here, which is welcome as you just need snapshots. Want a garden gate but not sure what style to go for? 1000 Garden Ideas will undoubtedly have the answer with 58 options. The same goes for steps, edging, walls and fences, pots, large and small. Each page provides inspiration and is the result of many years work as Stafford Cliff has travelled around homes and gardens worldwide, either taking the photographs himself or working alongside a professional.

TOP SELLING AUTHOR

In 1974 Cliff designed the groundbreaking The House Book, which is the biggest selling home book of all time and has been translated into ten languages. He produced the very first Habitat catalogues with Sir Terence Conran and has since produced over 60 books on design and the home.
