Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Find happiness at home with five guiding principles from cultural phenomenon The Modern House.
In 2005, childhood friends Matt Gibberd and Albert Hill set out to convince people of the power of good design and its ability to influence our well-being. They founded The Modern House - in equal parts an estate agency, a publisher and a lifestyle brand - and went on to inspire a generation to live more thoughtfully and beautifully at home.
As The Modern House grew, Matt and Albert came to realise that the most successful homes they encountered - from cleverly conceived studio flats to listed architectural masterpieces - had been designed with attention to the same timeless principles: Space, Light, Materials, Nature and Decoration.
In this book, Matt tells the stories of these remarkable living spaces and their equally remarkable owners, and demonstrates how the five principles can be applied to your own space in ways both large and small.
Revolutionary in its simplicity, and full of elegance, humour and joy, this book will inspire you to find happiness in the place you call home.

A relaxed, humorous depiction of houses that inspires and encourages one to own their ideas.
Matt Gibberd has a writing style that draws you along like a rambler needing to see round the next bend in the path.

Disappointing
Although there were a few interesting bon mots, I didn't feel that I took much away from listening to this. The author isn't a natural narrator which didn't help as it felt rather stilted and I didn't really appreciate some of the preachiness. I am a fan of the Modern House though and think I will stick to looking at the lovely images online rather than reading/listening.
