The urban environment has become the favored habitat for humans. There exists an inexplicable attraction to the mass, to the modern, to the interaction be-tween people and machine that roots back to the nineteenth century. The birth of in-dustrialization brought about a radical change in lifestyle.
The Lifestyle led by many of today’s urbanites points to the conviction that less is more.With living space at a premium the sole option for many is to make the most of what they have.
Fortunately,this has been proven to be the motivation of some of the most innovative solutions that transform small spaces into practical and stylish contemporary pads.
Color can enhance the feeling of space.High ceilings can transform into additional levels.Sliding doors and portable closets replace permanent walls,and furniture on wheels offers versatility and comfort.These are only several examples of the design solutions available to apartments,studios,lofts,and small houses that are all limited by one thing:the lack of surface area.
Featuring inspirational projects by some of the interior designers,Small Urban Interiors provides a fresh look at how to make the most of small living spaces in urban environments.
