Celebrity TV chefs are inspiring homeowners to create the perfect kitchens within their own homes, it has been suggested.Liz Rowlinson of the Daily Mail notes that todays on-screen kitchens have come a long way from Fanny Cradocks TV sky-blue Formica and free-standing gas cooker of the 1960s.Sophie Dahls TV kitchen is a cosy but contemporary vision of coordinated Le Creuset pans Nigel Slaters is a display of sharp-edged minimalism Nigellas warms with intense shades and jars of giant buttons, she observed.Ms Rowlinson said that this growing design consciousness had turned the kitchen into the most expensive room in the home with some people paying as much as 250,000 for a bespoke design.However, she argued that homeowners do not have to spend huge amounts to create elegant looking kitchens, adding that reproduction stone tiles, affordable units (repainted for an inexpensive modern facelift) or fake granite worktops can be smartened up by an expensive set of kitchen taps or stylish cooker hood. Last week, Alysia Maciejowska, founder of the DIY advice site BookshelfBoyfriend.com, told the Independent that online instructions can save homeowners a great deal of time and money by making formerly complex home improvement problems simple and clear.
