Small rooms reward good ideas, and Petite Places is full of them. This Gestalten hardback presents clever solutions for compact living. From living rooms and kitchens to bedrooms and bathrooms, small spaces can offer immense possibilities, if only the interior is well considered.

By showing a variety of projects in different styles, from reduced and pragmatic to cosy, Petite Places delves into how small homes are being designed today, delivering insights from interior designers and architects. Floor plans allow you to translate inspirations from the book into your own home. Living in small spaces is not a new phenomenon, and by looking at pioneering projects from times gone by, one starts to understand where modern living concepts draw ideas from. Clever furniture and storage solutions create more room to cook, relax, read in a comfortable nook, or work from home. Explore how you can add striking changes to your modest home with only a few tweaks.

It is a thoughtful gift for a first-home buyer, an apartment dweller, a bach owner or anyone planning a tiny home. Find more in our gift ideas for the bookworm.
