{"product_id":"living-comfortably-now-rebecca-winward","title":"Living Comfortably Now by Rebecca Winward | Interiors Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen moving house stops being affordable, the question changes from where do we go to what can this place actually do. \u003cstrong\u003eLiving Comfortably Now\u003c\/strong\u003e is built for exactly that moment, and it is one of the more genuinely useful titles in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fluxboutique.co.nz\/collections\/books\"\u003eBooks collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRebecca Winward works through the house looking for capacity that is already there and going unused. The landing wide enough for a desk. The space beneath the stairs. The room that could serve two purposes if it were arranged differently. She covers open-plan living, flexible room configurations, and the pockets of dead space most of us walk past daily without registering. It is a book about making a home work harder rather than making it bigger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill this help in a small home?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is precisely who it is for. The premise is that square metres are fixed and the arrangement is not, so the advice suits apartments and compact houses at least as well as large ones. If you are carving out a home office, a utility area or a play space without adding a wall, this is the reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it a renovation book or a styling book?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt sits between the two. There is more structural thinking than a pure styling title, but it stops well short of building plans, so you can act on most of it with furniture, storage and a change of mind about what a room is for. For the styling layer on top, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fluxboutique.co.nz\/products\/moments-at-home-steve-cordony\"\u003eMoments at Home\u003c\/a\u003e picks up where this leaves off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 176 pages it is an approachable size and a good gift for someone who has just bought a first home, is expecting a growing family, or has started working from the kitchen table and needs a better answer. Housewarmings and Christmas both suit it, and it browses well within \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fluxboutique.co.nz\/collections\/for-the-home-stylist\"\u003eFor the Home Stylist\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical strategies for getting more from the space you already have\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers open-plan living, flexible layouts and overlooked dead space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten for real budgets rather than full renovations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e176 pages, an easy size to work through room by room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEspecially strong for apartments and compact homes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaking It Work in Small Spaces\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep this one within reach rather than on display, since it is a working book. That said, the cover suits a neutral palette and it stacks neatly under something heavier on a side table. If you are actively reworking a room, leave it out with a pencil nearby. Pair it visually with woven storage and pale timber, which is much the aesthetic it advocates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54110858772798,"sku":"9781788795227","price":55.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0149\/files\/c254f438a567c1d6a7fb68209e84948f_1024x1024_2x_2af6771b-b323-41af-a94c-9aaed0ffc564.jpg?v=1787725376","url":"https:\/\/fluxboutique.co.nz\/products\/living-comfortably-now-rebecca-winward","provider":"Flux Boutique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
