Kitchen Clarity Adventures in Kitchen and Bath Design

Is it a problem if your kitchen looks better with the cabinet doors open than it does with them closed? Not that there’s anything horribly wrong with this  – clean lines, glossy white and stainless steel, it has all the hallmarks of a classic modern kitchen:

Friendly clutter is first aid for this kitchen

But it is telling that in order to make an interesting photograph, the stylist has added a scattering of everyday clutter, and even opened the cabinet door to reveal some warm colored plates and dishes inside.  Proof, if you needed any, that we humans need to put our personal stamp on the places we live in, we need our friendly clutter to feel comfortable. No doubt this kitchen looks perfect when it’s all cleaned up and put away, just like a page from an architectural magazine.  But that kind of perfection isn’t real life, is it?
