Whether you inhabit a studio or a sprawling house with one
challenging space, Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, co-founder of
the most popular interior design website, Apartment Therapy,
will help you transform tiny into totally
fabulous.
According to Maxwell, size
constraints can actually unlock your design creativity and
allow you to focus on what’s essential. In this vibrant
book, he shares forty small, cool spaces that will change
your thinking forever.
These apartments and
houses demonstrate hundreds of inventive solutions for
creating more space in your home, and for making it more
comfortable. Leading us through entrances, living rooms,
kitchens and dining rooms, bedrooms, home offices, and kids’
rooms, Apartment Therapy’s Big Book of Small, Cool
Spaces is brimming with ingenious tips and ideas, such
as:
• Shifting the sense of scale
through contrasting colors • Adding airiness
by using transparent collections • Utilizing
the area under a loft bed for a kitchen and mini-bar
• Tucking an office with chic vintage doors
into an unused bedroom corner
In each dwelling
Maxwell points out what makes the layout work and what adds
style. Most of the “therapy” involves minor tweaks that can
be accomplished on a limited budget, such as dividing a room
with sheer curtains, turning a door into a desk, or
disguising electrical boxes with art displays. An extensive
resource guide, including Maxwell’s favorite websites for
buying desks, open storage solutions, and much more, will
help you turn even the tiniest residence into a place you
are always happy to come home to.
