Good for those who opt for the minimalist look. I’d be a bit wary on the comb park too. Good for those who opt for the minimalist look.

We're in the first category obviously but to be honest, we've only started cooking at home recently. Prior to this, both being single, we just ate out a lot. Eating in is one of the first signs of couplehood, no? More private time together. So we've got thousands of books but not many cookbooks. Still, it'd be nice to incorporate it into the overall design somehow. :) Great clarification there, can’t help but agree with you.

You see, there are the two usual categories of ppl who move in and renovate/furnish a place: 1. new homeowners- these are usually young-ish folks who are really excited about moving in and pay a lot of focus and attention to the living and bed rooms, less to the kitchens. Why? it's the eat-out generation. There isn't a real need for cookbooks until much later when they mature as a family, with children and they realise that they don't want their kids eating outside food all the time... hence, they start cooking. 2. a matured family shifting from their old place to the new. by now, the moms and dads would've already know a great number of recipes in the back of their head, hence, no real need for cookbooks. so you see, it is common for many to miss out shelving space for books. but you guys being the voracious readers that you are, i'm sure cookbooks will be devoured sooner or later (if not already) so you can plan for a nice little space to store them handy in the kitchen!

My partner and I prefer a more cosy (but uncluttered) feel to a room and I have to admit I'm crazy about the idea of wall-to-wall bookshelves if we can afford it! We certainly have enough books, voracious readers that we are! :P Also, couldn't agree more with you on how not many kitchen designs incorporate space for cookbooks. Just means we've got to be a little bit more creative, no? ;) Invisible bookshelves may well work with certain designs, perhaps the more minimalist ones?
