About this ebook
In HomeMaker, Kunal Kapoor reframes homemaking as the intentional design of a physical, emotional, and relational sanctuary. Drawing on ideas from environmental psychology, neuroscience, spatial design, and domestic ritual, the book explores how lighting, clutter, room arrangement, household rhythms, thresholds, shared meals, material choices, and the unseen labor of care influence the human nervous system.
Across twelve chapters, readers learn how to identify sources of environmental friction, create restorative spaces, establish dependable household rhythms, strengthen relationships around the common table, design systems that reduce mental load, and transform the home into an anchor of identity, hospitality, resilience, and intergenerational belonging.
This is not a guide to fashionable decorating or impossible domestic perfection. It is a practical and reflective blueprint for anyone who wants their living environment to become an active partner in a calmer, more connected, and intentional life.
