Kurashi at Home: How to Organise Your Space and Achieve Your Ideal Life by Marie Kondo is an exquisite addition to the world of self-help and lifestyle books. With its full-colour, stunning photography, it is not only a practical guide but also a visual delight that invites readers to reimagine their living spaces.
Building on the phenomenal success of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Marie Kondo introduces the concept of kurashi, a Japanese term that translates to “way of life.” The book moves beyond tidying and searches into the broader philosophy of creating an environment that sparks joy and supports your ideal lifestyle. Through kurashi, Kondo emphasises the importance of aligning your surroundings with your personal aspirations, fostering a sense of calm and fulfilment.
As a mother of three, Kondo brings a fresh perspective, blending her well-known tidying principles with the realities of family life. Her advice has evolved to include not just decluttering physical objects but also curating routines, relationships, and even meal planning to create harmony in everyday life. This shift towards a more holistic approach makes the book particularly relevant for those seeking balance in a fast-paced, modern world.
The book is richly personal, offering glimpses into Kondo’s own life, from her favourite recipes to moments shared with her family. Her storytelling, combined with real-life examples from her clients, demonstrates how kurashi can be tailored to suit different lifestyles and preferences. These narratives make the concepts relatable and provide practical inspiration for readers to implement changes in their own lives.
Perfect as a gift or a personal indulgence, Kurashi at Home is more than a guide to tidying; it is an invitation to rediscover joy in the everyday. Whether you are a long-time fan of Marie Kondo or new to her philosophy, this beautifully crafted book offers timeless wisdom for transforming both your home and your way of life.
