Interior design maven Whitney Leigh Morris makes living in under 400 square feet look elegant and effortless—even with a husband, baby, and two Beagles in the mix.

Featuring more than 200 tips for making the most of your little home, Small Space Style is the must-have, incredibly inspirational guide for living large in compact quarters. Join small space lifestyle expert Whitney Leigh Morris as she demonstrates how to keep clutter to a minimum, craft double duty layouts, personalize chic storage, go vertical when surfaces are limited, DIY clever custom built-ins, and even entertain a crowd within confined square footage.

Helpful and fun
I read this in one day - not even a whole day. I took notes. The book now sports a rainbow of sticky tabs. I moved from a 3700 square foot home/farm to a 2000 square foot home (15 years), to a 1700 square foot home (3 years), and now have a 987 square foot apartment/condo. I have been trying to downsize for the last 20 years and feel I am finally getting there.What I like about this book: 1. Capsulized information/easy to read. 2. Practical information that I can apply directly to my situation. (Caveat: There is a lot of information that can't work in the climate I live in except in warmer weather) 3. Much of the information is sustainable. 4. She doesn't try to sell me on minimalism (I will be a minimalist when Elton John becomes one - aka never). 6. Lovely illustrations. 7. Last but not least, as a designer myself, her ideas are great from a design perspective.

Utilizing small spaces
I have a small house. Larger than hers in the book but wanted ideas on how to use every square inch appropriately . I loved her photos of her darling abode that is lived in. Great ideas for storage that I hadn't previously thought of. Most of us have too much stuff, stuff we don't use, stuff we don't need, even stuff we don't like but we might need it sometime. The book made me realize that I can rethink how I am using my space now and simplify my life as well. If you're thinking of downsizing to a smaller space this book will give you ideas. I love this book.

Inspirational and beautiful rather than truly practical
If you’re looking for a lovely coffee table worthy book of gorgeous photos for inspiration with an exceedingly light dose of how-to’s sprinkled in, this is a great book. The intended recipient was looking for a volume more evenly focused on the ‘how-to’. The book is gorgeous enough I considered keeping it— however I truly do not need another coffee table book, so back it goes!

Highly recommended for anyone who wants a beautiful, functional small space.
I got so many ideas from this book. It's not just about the author's home; she photographs a number of small spaces. There are also clever project ideas, and inexpensive but beautiful and clever DIY solutions as well.

Inspirierend und schön anzuschauen
Ein tolles Buch, das sich auch super als Deko eignet. Womit wir auch gleich beim Thema sind: Whitney Leigh Morris beschreibt hier, wie sie, und andere, ihr Häuschen perfekt und funktional gestaltet, unter anderem indem sie Gebrauchsgegenstände als Dekoration verwendet. Klingt jetzt vielleicht erstmal merkwürdig, macht nach einem Blick in dieses wunderschöne Buch aber extrem Sinn.Klare Empfehlung für alle, die auf kleinem Raum möglichst schön leben möchten. Nicht nur für Tiny House Enthusiasten, auch für Besitzer von kleineren Immobilien (unter 100m² oder so) sehr inspirierend.Aber beachten: Es handelt sich hier um ein englischsprachiges Buch.

Lovely book with great tips
We have a small flat at the moment and this book really has some great tips for having a stylish but functional space -- and it has lots of ideas for when we own a place and aren't just renting!
