The Apartment Book: Smart Decorating for Spaces Large and Small by Carol Spier
With a little imagination and creativity, anyone can turn an apartment or flat into a lovely home that's brimming with personality. Featuring almost 300 photographs, a dozen floor plans, countless tips and numerous sidebars, this chunky and spiffily designed handbook covers a wide variety of styles: from a charming studio, to a spacious flat that resembles a grand manor. There are easy-to-implement designs for every room, suggestions for accentuating the positive (moldings) while downplaying the negative (exposed pipes) and expert advice on dealing with a tiny kitchen, decorating high-style at low-cost, displaying collections, storage and entertaining.
