About the Book

Book Synopsis

Smart design for real living.

More Not So Big Solutions for Your Home continues Sarah Susanka's groundbreaking philosophy: better, not bigger. This book offers practical, creative ideas for making every square inch of your home work harder and feel more inviting.

Instead of focusing on costly additions or oversized spaces, Susanka shows how thoughtful design can transform your home into a place that truly fits your life.

Inside, you'll find solutions for common challenges--like creating an "away room" for quiet retreat, designing a laundry area that works, and finding space for storage without sacrificing style. Susanka also tackles questions homeowners often ask: How much space do you really need? Where does the garage belong? Her answers are clear, actionable, and illustrated with sketches and photos that make implementation easy.

This collection of ideas is drawn from Susanka's own experience as a leading residential architect and from her popular columns in Fine Homebuilding. Each concept is approachable and adaptable, whether you're remodeling a single room or rethinking your entire home. With tips on color, trim, and layout, you'll learn how to unify interiors and create spaces that feel harmonious and functional.

Perfect for homeowners, designers, and anyone who values quality over quantity, More Not So Big Solutions for Your Home is a toolkit for living well in the space you have. It's not about doing more--it's about doing better, with design that reflects your personality and priorities.
