My Small Space: Starting Out in Style

As someone who has already graduate college, I was a little worried that I wouldn't get much out of this book. But I was wrong! This is great for those living in a single room, dorm, tiny house, apartment, etc. Lots of great photos that really show off the styles described in the book and EXCELLENT tips for small space living. Highly recommend this book!

Both beautifully photographed and well written, this is a great resource for anyone looking to make a small space look its very best. Unlike many editorial interior photos, Anna’s images feature styles that can be easily translated into the real world.

I really enjoy the photos and the different styles of people that the book shows.

Outstanding examples of arranging, organizing and decorating small (and tiny) spaces. Great photographs.

I read this whole book (so much as anyone can truly 'read' a book with about as much relevant information as a pamphlet) in less than an hour and took away absolutely no useful design advice. What was written was either painfully obvious common sense stuff ("it's important to communicate with the people you live with") or stuff you'd learn in any elementary school art class (Red, orange and yellow are warm colors! Isn't that interesting?). The photos, while blandly attractive, mostly focused on the attractive people living in the spaces rather than detailing space saving principles that this book is supposedly about. In reality this book is for people too young and inexperienced to know how useless this pile of paper is. This book was literally made my the people at Urban Outfitters for college students (One whole third of this book is devoted to dorm decorating). Overall, I'd describe this as baby's first apartment book, since that's the level you have to be at to find this so called book interesting.

This book offers little to no help for seriously maximizing a small space. When i came to the chapter on how many bottles of liquor i should have at any one time i realized this book is for a young Adults first place away from home. Even for a college student the information offered is common sense knowledge. I wasted my money on this book. Save your money.
