Title: Designing for small homes
First published: 1996
Description: In Designing for Small Homes, interior designers and architects offer dozens of authoritative solutions to small-space dilemmas - transforming small-space houses and apartments (less than 1,200 square feet, or 111.5 square meters) into elegant, comfortable and highly personal residences.

This beautifully illustrated book presents hundreds of ingenious space-saving techniques: built-in and double-duty furnishings, subtle but often critical architectural changes, cleverly concealed beds, galleried living areas, the artful use of mirror. It also gives interior design tips on color, pattern, and texture to visually expand small rooms - as well as cost-saving ideas and professional shortcuts for the restricted budget.

Every home is dramatized through exquisite color photography. And thoughtful text explains why each interior succeeds, analyzes its design solutions, and proves that even the smallest home is far richer in possibilities than in limitations.
