CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

I like it -
I liked this book. There were many well designed spaces. Many of the photos were contemporary/modern which was something I could really appreciate. I was able to glean a lot of ideas and I don't really even have any small spaces. So, I can understand what some of the other reviewers are saying. The spaces may not be as small as your small space. It was short on innovative storage ideas which I would consider critical for small spaces.

Unique but expensive -
5 stars - 2stars = 3 stars.
* +5stars: the designs are beautiful, creative; lot of nice pictures and some explainations to give reader a better understanding to thing such as why there should be 4 chairs with 2 different colors, or how a typical lay-out will create certain impression
* -1 stars: i like the ideas this book presents throughout; but in order for one to get those unique looks, big money is a must. The ideas in this book don't consider of small or medium budgets; though they look easy to do; if you really want to follow the idea, many must be custom made or special orders, not the typical types one can find in any store. Plus, if you looking for the tradition elegant looks, don't look in this book because they are not there
* -1 stars: the title of this book is about "small spaces", but a better one should be "small odd spaces." There are others nice pictures for typical spaces, of course. But many of the pictures are for odd to very odd ones that can't be used for the regular rooms.

Great ideas... -
This book has been very useful to me so far. It has an easy design style moving from kitchen to living room to bathroom to bedroom with lovely pitures and tips on how to use the space you have available. A number of the pictures were for areas which did not fit my description of small but they did provide ideas that I was able to use for my place. This was a good buy for me.

Helpful and Enjoyable -
There are numerous photos of a wide array of possibilities for a small living space. The overall aesthetic is comfortable, practical and charming--NOT over the top, expensive and/or absurd like some interior design books. I found several ideas for my own home in this book and am happy I purchased it!
One thing you might want to know is that the majority of ideas are better suited for home owners, rather then renters.

It's okay i guess -
There were some okay ideas & pictures, but the small rooms were not that small, or if they were small, they did not have any limiting factors (doors, windows, closets). So not a good match for me, because I live in a gerbil-warren of a house. But the pix were pretty.
