Find your favorite style and stick to it when you redesign your kitchen.
SET A FOCAL POINT.
Copper dishes can be a great focal point in your kitchen.

CREATE A KITCHEN LIBRARY.
Add kitchen cookbooks near your cooking station.
Today, you can find any recipe on Google. Yet, no app or search can compare to a great cookbook. You can write notes in the margins to tweak the recipe to your taste.
