Small and Chic: High Style for Small Spaces Paperback – July 15, 2008

I bought this book for my boyfriend, whose personal style is reflected tremendously in this book. We saw it in a little shop in Cannon Beach, but I knew I could get it for a better price on Amazon.com. This book is for the Interior-Decorator types that won't get bored after one 'flip-through'. There isn't much text, mostly just pictures of different styles of houses from all over the world, some quite breath-taking.

Great photography and beautiful settings. However, overall I found most of the featured spaces impersonal and stark. The settings felt so "high art" to me that I couldn't relate to them. I would have preferred more of a balance of different styles, not so exclusively cool and minimal.

This book is a great read. Well worth the purchase if you are at all interested in small spaces.It also looks nice on the coffee table.

I gave this book 4 stars because it has nothing new and exciting in it. I plan to donate all my small spaces books to my city's public library and this will be a good addition.

Takes the reader into the world of "small style." Europeans and others are used to small, efficient use of valuable space. The idea "less is more" is often depicted - but doesn't mean it is short on style or the costs to create the effects.Quality space planning and simplicity are key! It definitely helps re-imagine design solutions for some of the tiny spaces that folks purchase in NYC, etc.

Es muy bonito y aporta muchas ideas sobre lo que puedes hacer en tu propia casa. Muy recomendable si vives en un piso pequeño
