The Sunday Times Small Spaces for Modern Living Reviews

Many of us misuse space through ignorance and habit. We are so used to stand-alone bookcases and other pieces of furniture it no longer occurs to us that much more would be accommodated with a little redesign. This book from the Sunday Times shows exactly what can be achieved with a little innovative thought. Cupboards, shelving, drawers and more are all displayed in the lavish illustrations, offering inspirational ideas to declutter your home and open up your living space. It outlines planning and prioritising, design principles and then proceeds, room by room, to give clean contemporary suggestions for every age group and style of living. See where you can save room such as under the stairs or in wardrobes, in the hall or landing to give yourself roomier living areas and more space to entertain and enjoy life. Give yourself back your home and not only free it from clutter but your life too. - Lucy Watson
