About the book

Principles of Home deals with practical issues that face any household, from materialism to sustainability, craftsmanship to comfort.

Like on television on the much lauded series, Grand Designs, Kevin is articulate and insightful, blending everyday thoughtfulness and a dedication to the common good with incisive advice on living and design.

Kevin addresses very real and solvable domestic issues: What is the perfect kitchen layout? How to create a feeling of space in traditionally sized rooms? How to create an extension that works? How best to choose colour for function?

In the book you'll find ideas on decoration, design, lighting and colour, with the same stunning photos of architecture and design that you are used to seeing alongside Kevin on TV.
