Required Reading: A Space of My Own by Caroline Clifton-Mogg

January 23, 2012

According to Virginia Woolf, you need a room of your own to make art. But in her new book, London journalist Caroline Clifton-Mogg shows how to create a sanctuary for work in even the smallest of nooks.

A Space of My Own outlines the elements necessary to pull together a purposeful study or craft area, and showcases a number of design solutions, ranging from whole rooms to desks tucked under stairs. Whether the space will be used for creative work or running a business, Clifton-Mogg writes, "The important thing is that it is known to all as very much your space and feels private; somewhere specifically designed to cater to you and what you are doing."
