Bestselling author Sara Emslie shines a spotlight on urban
industrial style and shows how reclaimed materials can add warmth
and personality to your living space. New pressures on housing mean
that pioneering homeowners are converting ex-industrial,
non-residential spaces into innovative homes, while others are
taking inspiration from the industrial look to bring character to
newbuild interiors. In the 1960s and ’70s, many urban
warehouses and factories became vacant, attracting the first wave
of artists and creatives seeking large, affordable studio spaces.
Since then, industrial areas in many cities have become
sought-after residential districts and urban regeneration has gone
from strength to strength. Nowadays the trend shows no sign of
waning, with a second generation of urban pioneers cleverly
converting former lofts, warehouses, schools, factories, offices
and retail spaces into unique and highly desirable homes.
In Urban Style, Sara Emslie investigates the practicalities
for transforming non-residential spaces into homes, the key
elements of the look – from exposed brickwork to copper piping
and metal roof trusses – and the related rise in the popularity
of industrial design. She then explores twelve inspiring and varied
real-life homes that showcase the very best of the Urban
Style look.
These days, space is a precious commodity. Small Space
Style is an inspiring guide to making the most of even
the tiniest home. ‘A chic reminder that small, if carefully
considered, can be beautiful.’ Lobster & Swan blog.
Sara Emslie embraces the positive aspects of living in a compact
home and explores design and style solutions to the practical
issues of living with limited space.In the first chapter, Elements
of Design, Sara tackles clever design and planning details and
discusses how to make the most of any small home. Then, in Elements
of Style, she gives thought to decorating solutions and style ideas
for a compact interior, considering storage, furniture and display.
Next, Sara visits a variety of real-life beautifully small spaces,
taking an in-depth look at imaginative treatments for pocket-sized
interiors and showcasing tiny homes with lots of character. These
include a terraced 'two-up, two-down' worker’s cottage, a
miniscule Parisian pied-a-terre, a tiny studio apartment with a
clever mezzanine that incorporates a bathroom and a pint-sized
coastal hideaway. Each case study has a detailed floor plan and
measurements.
