Throughout your home design journey, whether large or small, Laura takes you each step of the way from understanding your home, reading a plan and writing a brief, right through to sketching your own design and having the confidence to get what you want on the building site. Packed full of tips and tricks, inspiration and technical know-how, THE HANDBOOK OF HOME DESIGN is like having Laura by your side, showing you how to design practical yet beautiful spaces, get more storage into your life and create the home of your dreams.

Laura Jane Clark wants to democratize the whole concept of residential architectural design and empower you to redesign your spaces by giving you the language and ability to confidently communicate your vision, get the most out of your design and ultimately love your finished home. Whether you are a long-term homeowner, first-time buyer or simply visualising your dream space, no matter what your budget is, this unique insight into Laura's process allows you to achieve both the design you want and the home you need.

As a fellow architect dedicated to maximising existing spaces, I can't recommend The Handbook of Home Design by Laura Jayne Clarke enough. Laura's insights resonate deeply with my own approach to architecture, especially her focus on making every square inch work smarter, not harder. Her book distils so many essential principles that every budding designer should know, from spatial planning to creating flow and functionality within a home. This guide not only affirms the choices and values of seasoned professionals but also empowers newer designers to make informed, impactful design decisions. Laura's passion and expertise shine through on every page, making this a truly inspiring, practical resource.
