House Beautiful Small Space
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
While this book has been in print quite a while, it is still pertinent today. I purchased it because a friend lives in one of the homes featured.
Small-Home Owners Rejoice!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book has become one of my all-time favorites. The photos are beautiful and the book offers helpful advice on how to maximize space in a room without sacrificing style. Even the tiniest of spaces provides an opportunity for storage, display or utility with no wasted space to spare. If you are a small-home owner, as I am, this book should delight you. I've kept it handy and have referred to it on quite a few occasions to spark my creativity or stimulate ideas that I could (and still can) easily implement in my home. Unlike many other decorating books, this was a great read as well. I enjoyed it from cover-to-cover. Renters, this book is geared more toward home owners so I would suggest seeking it out from a library to enjoy the ideas without spending the extra cash.
The best book on decorating small spaces
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is, by far, the best book I've found on decorating small spaces. I pick it up again and again, and it always inspires me. It illustrates different techniques you can use to create the illusion of more space, maximize space, or create a cozy space. Although the styles are expensive, many of the techniques can be used even with a small budget, i.e., using mirrors, patterned wallpaper, furniture you can see through, hanging curtains above window frames, etc.
Great photographs and great suggestions for strategies

This book has taught me some design principles I've been able to put into practice. I love looking at the beautiful photos. Very inspiring, useful, and fun.
Very nice book, but not too useful if your budget is low.

This book offers many unique ideas for those who want to redecorate a small home or apartment- provided that they have lots of money to do what the book suggests. Its a good book to have when looking for ideas on how to make the most of odd, small spaces. The photos are beautiful, clear and filled with elegant design ideas. Unfortunately it isn't a very practical book for someone like the broke college student looking for frugal decorating tips and do-it-yourself space saving ideas for a small studio or apartment to prevent it from looking like an eyesore. Since I happen to fall into this category, I regret that I can't find much use for this book at the moment.
