An interior design expert has urged homeowners to opt for simplicity when choosing kitchen cabinetry.Terence Conrans new book, Essential Kitchens The Back to Basics Guide to Home Design, Decoration Furnishing, also advises people to avoid excessive decorations or fixtures on their kitchen storage items.Smooth flush doors and drawer fronts create a cleaner and more streamlined appearance than those with textured mouldings, he argued.In a review of the book, Jocelyn Jacobson of McClatchy Newspapers commends Conran for recognising the evolution of the kitchen from a simple cooking space to somewhere that busy households communicate, play, socialise and refuel.She also noted that some of the books most important tips relate to prior planning and staying on budget.Earlier this week, Genevieve Gorder, co-host and judge of HGTVs Design Star programme, told the Associated Press that homeowners can help to create a clean, uncluttered cooking space by installing a large white kitchen sink.
