Kitchen and Bath Design Principles is The National
Kitchen and Bath Association's complete guide to uniting function
and style in these important rooms. This full-color guide is
heavily illustrated, with a revised layout and graphic design that
presents information more clearly for visual learners. The updated
second edition has been expanded to adhere more closely to the
standards of interior design, including new information on unity,
proportion, scale, and variety, plus a new glossary to clarify
unfamiliar terms. Stylistic themes remain a major component, with
emphasis on the architecture, furniture, styles, and fashions of
each era, and all technical and aesthetic information is presented
in clear, concise language. The companion website features a
teacher's guide and image bank that facilitate use in the
classroom, providing additional examples of design principles in
action.
The National Kitchen and Bath Association established the
standard guidelines for safe and effective kitchen and bath design,
and this book is the complete guide to incorporating code and
aesthetics from the very beginning. Function is just as important
as style in these rooms, so Kitchen and Bath Design
Principles teaches readers to:
* Apply the elements and principles of design to real-life
situations
* Discover how best to apply the tools of design in daily
business practice
* Explore the global and cultural influences reflected in popular
stylistic themes
* Translate the aesthetics of an era into a workable theme for a
kitchen or bath
To best serve clients, designers must learn to meet all codes,
regulations, and expectations with a balance of substance and
style. Kitchen and Bath Design Principles is the industry
standard reference, from the industry-leading provider of kitchen
and bath design education.
