Homeowners in the American Mid-West are to be shown the latest kitchen designs coming out of Europe, it has been announced. Kicking off in this week, the Ohio Design Centre will be hosting monthly interior design advice programmes, with homeowners to be invited to learn from some of the leading professionals in the area of kitchen design. Among the issues due to be addressed between now and September include The Appeal of the European Kitchen, common decorating errors and how to make use of old materials in the kitchen. In addition to tours of the Cleveland institution, visitors will also be able to benefit from half-hour appointments with kitchen design professionals, while products can also be purchased with the assistance of the designers themselves. Just last month, experts at Cabinet Studio advised that kitchens are the most cost-effective rooms in the home to renovate, with even small improvements such as a new sink or work surface likely to add value to a property.
