Apartment: Stylish Solutions for Apartment Living [Hardcover]

Alan Powers (Author), Chris Everard (Photographer)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2001

Many glossy interiors books celebrate the joys of loft living or focus on beautiful houses in glamorous locations. However, for many people around the world, home is not a loft, nor a Tuscan palazzo, but an apartment. This invaluable book responds to the challenge that apartment living offers, inspiring you to create an elegant but highly practical home.

3.0 out of 5 stars These apartments are not like any in which I have ever lived, December 14, 2002

This review is from: Apartment: Stylish Solutions for Apartment Living (Hardcover)

The only way a person could have one of the apartments in this book is if they were a character on Friends or a stockbroker on Wall street. The style is a mix of modern and traditional. The photos are beautiful. However, what you can take from this book may be limited and may depend upon your purpose.

Recommendation:
If you are looking for a book on decorating tips and projects to improve your apartment, then skip this book. If you were wondering how the other half live or want to be inspired, then try this book.
