I really enjoyed the book 'A Pattern Language' by Christopher Alexander. It looks at architecture from the level of the ordinary person and has some brilliant insight into what makes a building pleasant to live in. I applied some ideas from the book when I renovated my house and it has been a huge success.

What specific ideas did you apply?

One that I got from that book and have found to be rock solid is that a room feels more alive when it has a window on more than one side.
