● 內文簡介

Living space is a precious commodity – very few of us have as much space as we would like. Whether you live in a tiny home with poky rooms, a one-space apartment,or have one key room, for example the kitchen or bathroom, that's just too small, you need to know how to make the most of what you have.

In Small Spaces Rebecca Tanqueray explores these challenges. She starts with Making the Most of Your Space, where she presents inspiring compact homes that feel spacious to live in. They show how clever use of colour, lighting or other elements makes for a coherent home with a feeling of space. Whether your style is pared-down modern, eclectic bohemian or classic with a twist, you are guaranteed to find inspiration here.

In the second part, The Zones, Rebecca explores the oranization of space, including areas for living, cooking and eating, working, bathing and sleeping. She shows how to take into account what activities happen where and when, and how to make sure your home is as multi-functional as possible. Also included are a multitude of helpful details such as where to put the kitchen bin and how to hide miles of trailing electrical leads.

The final section, Solutions, tackles the elements crucial to the compact home – including dividing space, using colour, lighting and texture, and clever storage and furniture. These will help you ideal small space after you have decided on the big issues.

Whether you want to create a more uncluttered and serene home, or you are frustrated by minor irritations in the way your home is laid out, Small Spaces will help you create a comfortable, stylish home that works.
