Kyle Books signs new book from Your Home Made Perfect presenter Clark 

Kyle Books has acquired The Handbook of Home Design by award-winning architect, designer and presenter of BBC2 show “Your Home Made Perfect” Laura Jane Clark. 

Publisher Joanna Copestick acquired world rights from Silé Edwards at Mushens Entertainment. The Handbook of Home Design will be published on 21st March 2023.

In this era of “don’t move, improve” and “buy old not new”, many people’s homes have adapted to changing circumstances and tightening budgets, the publisher’s synopsis reads. But to Clark, this doesn’t mean you have to compromise. Whether you’re longing for an extension to bring in light or trying to find a better use for neglected nooks and crannies, The Handbook of Home Design offers room plans, case studies and practical tips to regenerate and revitalise the place you call home, all without breaking the bank.

It continues: “Sprinkled in are anecdotes from Laura’s career, covering common and unusual architectural design cases, including a house that needed an economical kitchen for a multi-generational family and a single-storey home that required stairless access.”

Copestick said: “I’ve long been an admirer of Laura Jane’s super-smart architectural solutions that are often seen on TV. She always manages to pinpoint exactly what can be improved in a home, whether it’s an urban apartment or an unloved 1960s semi. This book allows us to see just how an architect’s vision and ideas can totally transform interior spaces.”

Clark is an architect and designer specialising in renovations and new builds. She is the architect presenter on BBC2’s “Your Home Made Perfect” and has appeared regularly on Channel Four’s “George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces”.
