The Detail
The Kinfolk Home, interiors built around slowing down
Nathan Williams' follow-up to The Kinfolk Table takes the same ethos of simplifying life and cultivating community, and turns it towards interior design. The goal is a more mindful, intentional and intimate home, and the book makes the case through the houses themselves rather than through rules.
Key Features
- 35 homes across the world, from buildings with long histories to distinctly modern ones, linked by intentional design.
- Photographic and narrative home tours, rather than styled set pieces.
- Interviews, profiles and essays from the people who actually live in these spaces.
- 368-page hardcover in a large format, photographed throughout.
Pure Standard
- The whole premise is buying less and choosing better. That is the same thinking behind everything we stock, which is why this one sits on the shelf here rather than in a bookshop's interiors section.
- Real homes, not showrooms. Thirty-five houses that people actually live in, photographed as they are, with the owners explaining what they chose and why.
- Paper and board throughout. No plastic jacket, no shrink wrap, nothing to peel off and bin.
- Made to be kept. A 368-page large-format hardcover that stays out on the table for years rather than being read once and shelved.

Our Take
The book that taught a generation what a calm room looks like, and still the best argument for owning less of it. Thirty-five real homes rather than showrooms, photographed properly and talked about by the people who live in them. Heavy enough to be a coffee table in its own right.
