About the author

Sir Terence Conran was educated at Bryanston School, Dorset, and trained as a textile designer at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London. Hand in hand with his much-publicized career as an arbiter of good taste for a whole generation goes a career in cookery and restaurant management. Having learned the basic skills in the kitchens of a two-star Parisian establishment, he opened several small restaurants in London.These were later sold to finance his fast-expanding furniture business, from which grew the hugely successful Habitat stores. No-one has had a greater influence on contemporary living style than Conran. From the outset of his career, in the brilliant era of the '60s, he devoted his talents to interpreting the home-making aspirations of the bright, busy people of his generation - and to providing them with an excellence of craftsmanship and design at a price they could afford.

With attention to different types of layout, area by area evaluation and tips, and considerations for decor and furnishings including lighting, decorative strategies, furniture arrangement, and how to build in flexibility and use redundant space, this book is full of helpful and simple tips.

A small but interesting book about living in a small space. Some of the suggestions are good for the average person others you would have to have a lot of money to do. Nice photos.

Short and easy to read. Pointers I can definitely use the next time I move.
