Elizabeth Shove's work is exactly in this area. A good overview is in this book:
The Design of Everyday Life
By Elizabeth Shove, Matthew Watson, Jack Ingram, Martin Hand
Berg, 2008
Where I find this useful is how they combine sociological accounts from practice theory and
consumption theory to understand how (non-professional designers') practices are involved in
constituting design outcomes. Examples are in DIY and digital photography
