How We Live Now is an inspiring guide to making the most of every square inch of your space. This practical, problem-solving book helps you take a long, hard look at your home and work out how to make the most of every room, even every corner. Perhaps you're trying to carve out more space for a growing family, or wondering where you can squeeze in a home office, guest bedroom or kids' playroom.

Whatever your particular needs, Rebecca Winward explores ways to make your home work harder for you: open-plan living, more flexible room configurations, and using pockets of dead space, under the stairs, in the entry, or in the garden, that have unrecognised potential. Multi-tasking furniture, smart storage and versatile lighting all have their role to play. Streamline everyday life with How We Live Now. Discover more of our interiors titles in our gift ideas for the homebody collection.
