Small Space Living: Expert Tips and Techniques on Using Closets, Corners, and Every Other Space in Your Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781510736313)

Complete with demonstrative illustrations and photographs, Small Space Living offers more than 100 space-saving ideas from Roberta Sandenbergh, a.k.a the Small Space Architect.

Sandenbergh will introduce you to the idea of space opportunities--untapped areas in every home that can be expanded for storage and organizational purposes. A space opportunity might be as simple as using an empty space under a stairway or above a doorway or as complicated as dividing your entire apartment for rental income.

Each chapter addresses a different kind of space opportunity area, including closets, corners, walls, windows, ceilings, and floors. In these areas, you will be inspired by Sandenbergh's creative approaches to divided spaces, stacked spaces, empty spaces, mirrored spaces, and multipurpose furniture. Projects include:

• 
  BATHROOM IN A CLOSET: It could save your marriage.
  
• 
  OFFICE IN A CLOSET: Run an empire from your chair.
