In this book, interiors expert Kate Watson-Smyth looks at these changing scenarios and how you can accommodate them within your own four walls, whether you own or rent, whether you have lots of space to play with or you're looking for space-saving solutions. From flexible home office spaces to garden sheds, moveable storage versus built-in, and how to zone an open-plan room even when it's not a cavernous loft, this book will help you get the most out of your home for the way you, and we, all live now. This book is packed with statistics, graphics and gorgeous illustrations, as well as handy tips and advice from people who have lived and learnt from their time living in small homes, rented homes and working from home.
