Customer Reviews

very inspirational & beautiful

This is my favourite book (and I have a big collection as a graduate of Interior Design course).You will definetely benefit from a variety of styles and ideas (different colour-shcemes), shown on pages of this book. Superb quality of photographs makes reading enjoyable. The author won't tell you 'how to make it' (as it's not a DIY book), but I found comments on each room layout very helpful. It inspires and develops your taste. Dylan Landis, well-done!

Nice Idea/Wish Book

This book's primary appeal to me is the large quantity of very nice photos for ideas of how to design for small spaces. Think of it as the equivalent of a dozen very good "home" magazines all focused on small spaces. Unfortuantely, this is not the type of book that's easy to buy online. You need to browse. I can tell you that I spent over an hour at a bookstore and this was the one I walked away with. Most of the others were horribly technical books about how to build and use all these storage containers to hide/organize your stuff. Frankly, if you have a tiny space, you should throw away most of the stuff you don't use regularly. I'm more interterested in lighting and arrangement and color to give the illusion of more space... not organizing all my junk in neat tupperware containers.

Complete overview of design and layout for small homes

This book offers a great look into small apartments and homes from around the world. Each dwelling shown includes photographs, floorplans and a narrative explanation of how the designs evolved. Its easy to see how everything in these dwellings fits together

Excellent book for anyone living in a small space.

Beautiful photography and wonderful suggestions on making the most of limited space. The book is broken into two categories of homes: the small house and the apartment. Especially helpful for urban dwellers
