Are you ready to maximize your small space for 2011? Then, I’ve got a book for you. Check out the “Big Book of Small, Cool Spaces.” It’s written by Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, the co-founder of the interior design website, Apartment Therapy.
As we know, a small space makes you think more creatively about how to design that space so that it works for your life. This book will actually show you 40 small, cool spaces that will really give you ideas for things to do in your apartment or house.
You’ll see examples of apartments and houses from the entrance way to the living room to the kitchen to the bedroom and the home office. Just imagine:
• Using contrasting colors to shift the scale of the room
• Adding airiness by using transparent collections
• Putting a kitchen or mini-bar under a loft bed
• Creating a office space in the corner of a bedroom
No matter what your budget, you can make some improvements to your space that will yield results. “The Big Book of Small, Cool Spaces” along with photos, include’s the author’s favorite websites for buying desks, storage solutions, and other useful furniture. It’s one of the better books I’ve seen for real life ideas that we can all use to make our small space more livable.
