Can't Fail Color Schemes--Kitchen & Bath: How to Choose Color for Stone and Tile Surfaces, Cabinets & Walls (Creative Homeowner)

Can't Fail Color Schemes--Kitchens and Baths addresses one of the most difficult decorating decisions a homeowner has to make when building or renovating a kitchen or bath: choosing colors for the many permanent—and expensive—materials and finishes. The so-called "safe" neutral route has many pitfalls...all beiges are not equal!

As she did in Can't Fail Color Schemes, color expert Amy Wax explains how to look at color specific to stone, tile, laminate products, fixtures, and paint, and provides hundreds of palettes that homeowners can use to inspire and coordinate their own scheme or take along to a home center or showroom.
