Problem Solving for Awkward Rooms
The book addresses issues such as:
*creating privacy
*adding character
*warming up a room
*dealing with narrow spaces
*refreshing a room
*expanding small areas
The photos are fairly small, but that does allow for many examples. Most of the ideas are easily applied to your own situation, so give it a try.
One of my favorites!
This book has numerous great ideas for making awkwardly shaped spaces work, which sets it apart from other interior decorating books. There are also dozens of fantastic and unique examples for mixing new and old furnishings, and color guides to achieve the look you want.
