INTERIOR DESIGN FOR SMALL DWELLINGS (PB 2019) Paperback

Interior Design for Small Dwellings explores the growing interest in compact living spaces and considers how smaller homes can offer sustainable and practical solutions to modern housing challenges. The book highlights essential principles for designing and living in small interiors, placing a strong focus on client engagement and inclusive, participatory design—an approach supported by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation. It challenges the notion that living in a small space means sacrificing quality of life, proposing instead that intentional living, smart organization, and thoughtful design can lead to a fulfilling lifestyle. Drawing from the authors' professional backgrounds and personal experiences in small homes, the book offers insights through discussions, visuals, case studies, interviews, worksheets, and activities. Designed as both a teaching tool and practical resource, it guides interior designers in applying design theory, space planning, and programming techniques, while integrating concepts of sustainability, biophilic design, and wellness throughout.
