Product Description
In 400 specially commissioned colour photographs and an accessible, fast and fun text, design guru Marisa Bartolucci takes us inside the homes of 33 dramatically different little-space dwellers - the spaces range from a 100-square-foot dormitory room to a 1000 square-foot garden flat - to reveal how one's innate sense of personal style is really the most effective tool for transforming an ordinary cramped living space into an extraordinarily stylish, small yet functional private sanctuary. From the DIY decor of student Yen Fgen's digs to the antique-filled studio of Steven Earle, design director for Martha Stewart, to the two-bedroom garden apartment of design writer Michael Webb, a range of sizes, styles and budgets is featured here - hope for everyone who has ever looked at their cramped quarters and longed for more living space.

Nice Book March 10, 2008

This is a nice book and gives you some ideas on how to save space. Unfortunately almost all of the occupants in this book are architects or are friends with an architect. I can't afford to have an architect help me with my apartment space so it doesn't really apply. I still like the book though.

This is a fun book full of pictures and ideas for making the most of a small living space. Take the ideas and then add your own style and personality to your small home.
Lots of inspiration September 22, 2007

Love the way the book shows apartments of varying small sizes and multiple solutions for small-space dilemmas (like little room for sleeping, tiny kitchens). I was able to brainstorm a solution for my own apartment after one look through this book.
My only complaint is that there are no product resources listed--just designers' names and contact information.

Well, I guess I'll add my voice to the chorus of reviewers for this book:
This is a jewel of a book. Lots of fabulous examples of small spaces with a lot of character. People who love art, collect books and appreciate unexpected decorating ideas will enjoy this book."
A lovely book that could use a bit of fine-tuning to best serve its intended readership April 6, 2007

I really liked this book, but it only gets 4 out of 5 stars because I think the definition of "small spaces" is too broad. This book would be better if it showcased twice as many spaces from 100-600sqf, rather than going all the way up to 1000. Maybe for people who don't live in cities, 1000sqf is tiny, but I think a lot of the book's target audience would find that amount of space to be truly palatial. Many of the larger spaces had yards or terraces, sometimes doubling the real amount of living space, so that feels like a "cheat" to me. I got the most ideas out of the first half of the book, and the rest of the book was enjoyable as a general interior design book rather than a "small spaces" design book. Many of the featured homes' remodels involve knocking out walls and really re-working a space, so if you're a renter looking for what you can do with a small space you don't own, you might be disappointed. All in all, a very nice book with wonderful photographs, I just wish there was a greater focus on spaces under 600sqf, and more creative rentals being showcased for readers who are renters.
