How a home looks and how it works, from the first plan to a child's room. Four 36-page guides, one download.
Four guides for
how a home looks.
The Design Set brings together the four guides about the rooms themselves rather than the building work: how colour behaves in real light, how to run a design project from brief to finish, the dimensions a body needs to be comfortable, and a child's room that grows with them. Each is the full 36-page guide sold on its own, with nothing cut.
Colour that behaves
Undertone, orientation and sheen, and a way of testing paint that holds up in your own light.
A plan to work from
Brief, budget, layout and materials, in the order a designer actually works.
Rooms that fit
Worktop, desk and seat heights, reach zones and clearances, all in millimetres.
A room that grows
A child's room from nursery to teenager, with storage, study and the safety standards named.

What do I get?
One ZIP file containing four A4 PDFs, 144 pages in all. Your download link arrives by email straight after checkout. Open the ZIP on a computer or phone and each guide is its own PDF, ready to read or print.
Are these the full guides?
Yes. Each is the same 36-page EU edition sold on its own, with every chapter, table and planner. Nothing is cut for the set.
Which edition is this?
Harnessing Colour and Ergonomics are single editions, because colour and the human body behave the same everywhere. The Interior Design Handbook and Creative Kids' Room Design are the EU editions, with EU standards and costs in euros. Colour orientation guidance is written for the northern hemisphere.
I already own one of these guides.
The set is one download at one price, so it cannot be priced around a guide you already have. If you own one or more, buying the others individually may cost you less. Check before you buy.
Can I cancel or get a refund?
This is digital content supplied immediately. At the point of purchase you expressly consent to us beginning supply before the end of the withdrawal period and acknowledge that your 14 day right of withdrawal ends once the download link is issued. The full notice is at studioakiva.eu/widerrufsbelehrung. Separately from that: if the link fails, a file will not open, or you received the wrong set, email hello@studioakiva.com and we will put it right or refund you.
