Book Reviews of Small Spaces: Making the Most of the Space You Have

Book Review: An inspiring and practical book
Summary: 5 Stars

We are in the process of renovating our apartment, and I found this to be a very useful book. I have read it through several times and keep going back for ideas and inspiration. The apartments featured are inspiring and really are small -- not like those found in some other books. I especially appreciated the floor plans for the apartments and the detailing of hidden storage. While some of the suggestions are fairly standard, others are quite innovative. Unlike the previous reviewer, I found plenty of ideas that are useful for a family with children and lots of spaces that looked quite comfortable and cosy as well as some that were more inclined toward the minimal and funky.

Summary of Small Spaces: Making the Most of the Space You Have

As real estate costs go ever higher, many of us are living in smaller spaces than we would like. In Small Spaces, interiors author Rebecca Tanqueray presents a wide variety of solutions to make even a studio apartment feel more spacious and comfortable. Many spaces can be expanded visually through color or lighting, in others, Tanqueray explores the organization of space, storage and the use of multi-functional furniture. The inspirational spaces showcased in Small Spaces are documented thoroughly with beautiful photographs and floor plans, to inspire you in the process of enlarging your own space.

Starting with Making the Most of your Space, Rebecca shows how clever use of color, lighting or other elements makes for a coherent home with a feeling of space. The Zones explores the organization of space, including areas for living, cooking and eating, working, bathing and sleeping. A Space Savers page at the end of each section captures key points. Finally, Solutions, tackles the elements to the compact home - including dividing space, using color, lighting and texture and clever storage and furniture.

Small Spaces will help you create a more uncluttered and serene home that works.
