A comprehensive guide to small-space secrets and real-life solutions for living in 1,200 square feet or less.

The Little Book of Living Small offers practical, everyday advice for managing a tight footprint. It features twelve case study homes in which style-savvy, small-space dwellers (from singles to families of four) open their doors and share their design secrets. Stylistically these homes range from urban to rural, minimalist to bohemian, with the unifying thread that they are all real homes of 1,200 square feet or less and offer clever solutions for you to use in your own home.

Highly engaging with lists, tips, and actionable advice, The Little Book of Living Small shows readers how to make the most of limited square footage―with grace and style―and serves as the cheerleader readers need to help themselves feel satisfied and proud of their choice to live with less.

Review

“It’s not about what you ‘give up’ to go small, but rather strategic solutions and thoughtful consideration over every corner of your space. The Little Book of Living Small offers an unfiltered and inspiring peek into real small spaces that may just give you the push you need to scale down your own home.” -- Stephanie Sisco, Home Director ― Real Simple Published On: 2020-04-07

“A triumphant celebration of small spaces that frames living small as a prospect that's both exciting and eminently practical. Much more than an opportunity to gawk at the tiny places folks call home, this book gives readers an honest look at how to thrive―with confidence and conviction―no matter the constraints of square footage. Ultimately we see how a choice to live small is less about what we might lose and more about we can gain―for ourselves and for our planet.” -- Erin Boyle, Author ―

“[Laura Fenton has] been living small―690-square feet to be exact―for years (with a four-and-a-half-year-old no less!) and just released a book yesterday, 
The Little Book of Living Small, which feels like an anthology of all things small―and is full of some serious tiny house eye candy. Even if you aren’t limited by your square footage, you can still use these strategies for a less clutter, more stylish space.” -- Danielle Blundell ― Apartment Therapy Published On: 2020-04-08
