Description
Shows you how to make the most stylish and effective use of the space you can afford. It looks at inventive storage ideas and appropriate furniture as well as classic "cheats" that help create the illusion of space. The book begins by helping you to equate your needs and what you actually have. Then it turns to specific issues: the allocation of rooms to make the best use of available space; the possibilities offered by small-scale alterations and extensions; and the effects of color, pattern and lighting. It goes on to demonstrate, room by room, the clever ways people have contrived to solve their particular problems. The final section focuses on twenty designs for items of furniture and accessories, such as the coffee table that converts to a dining table or a wall-mounted chopping board and knife rack.--From publisher description.
