Beautifully Small: Clever Ideas for Compact Spaces

Not sure I’d call most of the spaces in here ‘beautifully small’. Beautifully medium maybe. Or beautifully large in some cases. But I think the author and I have a very different idea of what actually constitutes a small home!

Everything you own you're gonna hafta maintain. To save time and expense i minimalize what i own and that gives more free time for living in what i own. Beauty is not large. Cute is beautiful and this book shows how to make style compensate for lack of space. You don't are if its small as long as it looks artsy like Emslie shows how to accomplish. She's an artist of spaces. Her book is better than mine, "Adrift in Paradise", in many ways. see it at meeceblog.wordpress.com and I show how to enjoy the time you saved by keeping life simple. ;=]

This book was in perfect condition.Creative book of you need an understanding how small spaces might function better under thoughtful design.

Beautifully Small and Small Space Style are the same book with different titles so that's the only caveat. That aside, the book offers many ideas with excellent photographs to illustrate the concepts.

I live in a small Victorian two-up two-down house and found this book packed with tips for making a compact home beautiful while maximising space. After reading the book, I promptly planned to create a storage wall to lighten our living room, replace my bedroom door with a sliding door to reduce the floor space taken up by the door, strip out our old upstairs carpets to freshen up the upstairs, and remove the low ceiling in our living room to create storage on the exposed beams. It's rare I find so many solutions in so few pages.The book is beautifully illustrated. A small coffee-table-style book with many lovely photographs and design examples taken from all over Europe.
