Have you ever said, "If only I could find the perfect ____ for this space"? Stylish Solutions, a little book of clean, Scandinavian-inspired design, focuses on six different types of furniture that can make the difference between a room that's bland and one that's quietly (never flashily) inspired. These are the workhorses of the home: coffee table, sideboard or cupboard, sofa, bookcase, mantel, and bed. And once you have the right piece for the space, this book will help you figure out the right placement and arrangement for that piece and the ones that surround it. The living spaces shown are solid, sometimes idiosyncratic, always interesting, and definitely workable for people with real lives and less-than-perfect homes. --Barrie Trinkle
