Esra,
I don't recall how directly this book talks about flats, per se, but Witold
Rybczynski's book "Home, a short history of an idea" does a good job
explaining how various rooms in the house evolved over time (from the middle
ages) and how furniture etc. affected the idea of home, particularly with
respect to notions of comfort.
Best,
Ann
