Summary

On the heels of a wildly popular first edition, House Beautiful’s second Incredible Kitchens bookazine is packed with fresh inspiration for renovating, decorating, or just ogling at the most beautiful kitchens imaginable. Dive into the Fundamentals—our handbook of essential tips for choosing cabinetry, appliances, fixtures, hardware, seating, lighting, and more, all vetted by leading designers and experts—and The Inspiration, a compilation of 20 jaw-dropping kitchens vetted by the editors of HB. There’s also a whole deep-dive into what makes a great kitchen layout (hint, it’s not the classic triangle formation) and the most organized and smartly designed pantries we’ve ever seen.
