Description |
Terence Conran demonstrates that a little really is enough and that basic
design principles can maximize the smallest living space to result in
stylish and functional homes. The book is presented in three sections. Part
one, Making the Most of Small Spaces, discusses how design and spatial
planning are the key to maximizing space as every square metre counts.
Decoration and Furnishing discusses how to adopt various strategies to make
your space look and feel larger, from creative use of colours and textures
to lighting and furniture. The ultimate way to enhance a small space is to
physically make it bigger; Branching Out discusses the ways in which this
can be done, from conversions to extensions. In part Two, Area by Area
Solutions presents a room by room breakdown, demonstrating space-saving
ideas, storage solutions and strategies for compact layouts specific to each
room. From kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms to small gardens and second
homes, each chapter is full of intelligent, functional and sometimes quirky
ways in which to make the most of living space. Finally, international case
studies that demonstrate how good design principles have been applied in
real terms. |
