Minimalism & Small Urban Interiors
Small Urban Interiors: Although we've seen a good amount of urban flight over the past decade, there is hope of a revival. Many folks are counter-acting the white picket fences of the traditional "american dream," and searching for more functionality. Perhaps the internet, high speed cable, tv on demand, and other techno-bytes of lifestyle have driven people to consider an alternative. Access is everything. Many folks are opting for that small urban space so they can feel connected to the arts, various events and most importantly culture. Whether you live in New York City, or the new borough of Philadelphia*, it appears that small urban interiors are going to be the new picket fence. Perhaps less is more, and function can beat form. But wait, maybe you can have both!
Ana G. Canizares has released a book presenting 500 solutions for small urban interiors. Consider it a guide to transforming your small space into a practical and stylish contempary habitat. You can find great advice like, "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." Check it out [Here]
