5.0 out of 5 stars just what we needed! wonderful!
I am so excited about this book. It's just what my husband and I needed. The book combines style with practicality. What I mean is that the photos show rooms that are current and stylish and and even inspiring and the writing explains how I can use those ideas in our home. An excellent book. Handsome and helpful.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Useful
I am giving this book only one star as I expected more from Better Homes & Gardens; their books are consistently excellent, but this one is a stinker.

If you pick up a book about cats, it should feature cats. But when it comes to small spaces, it seems any home will do even if it's 3000 square feet. "Small spaces" is obvious a relative concept, depending...

This review is from: Decorating Small Spaces (Paperback)
I am giving this book only one star as I expected more from Better Homes & Gardens; their books are consistently excellent, but this one is a stinker.

If you pick up a book about cats, it should feature cats. But when it comes to small spaces, it seems any home will do even if it's 3000 square feet. "Small spaces" is obvious a relative concept, depending on what you're used to. To me, a small space is any home which has a decided lack of closets, or storage areas. Bedrooms are small and difficult to make functional; children have no basement to play in, the kitchen has a puny eating area, etc. There wasn't a single picture in this book which impressed or inspired me.

To show readers pictures of homes which appear large, airy, and identical to any home found in any design magazine, is just not useful at all. I highly recommend Taunton Press' Storage Idea Book - it is inspirational and jam packed with great visuals.
