Description

This book demonstrates that a little really is enough and that basic design principles can maximise the smallest living space to result in stylish and functional homes. It discusses how design and spatial planning are the key to maximising space, how to adopt various strategies to make your space look and feel larger - from creative use of colours and textures to lighting and furniture - and, recognising that the ultimate way to enhance a small space is to physically make it bigger, discusses the ways in which this can be done, from conversions to extensions.

It also presents a room by room breakdown, demonstrating space-saving ideas, storage solutions and strategies for compact layouts specific to each room. From kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms to small gardens and second homes, each chapter is full of intelligent, functional and sometimes quirky ways in which to make the most of living space. Finally, there are six international case studies that demonstrate, with plans, text and photography, how good design principles have been applied in real terms.
