​

The Opportunity

​

Kate Nixon has built a loyal audience through a distinct point of view on interiors and home life: warm, layered, liveable spaces, and the rituals that make a home feel good to be in.

​

The aim with Everyday Joy was to shape that point of view into a book concept with clear promise, strong structure, and broad retail appeal, then place it with the right publisher to deliver it at the level it deserved.

​

Hardie Grant Books was the right fit: a publisher with depth in design and lifestyle publishing, and the reach to support local and international distribution.​

​

The Book

​

Everyday Joy is Kate Nixon’s guide to creating a home that feels warm, layered, and easy to live in, with entertaining woven through as part of everyday life.

​

Kate writes as a designer, sharing styling guidance, room-by-room ideas, and the small visual shifts that change how a space feels day to day, from how you layer a table to how you pull a room together so it looks inviting without feeling overdone.

​

The book also includes 30 easy recipes designed for real life, from weekend baking to relaxed lunches and dinners that still feel special when friends drop by.

​

The book is structured around the rhythm of a day — Rise, Shine, Restore — with each section bringing together decorating ideas, practical hosting tips, and recipes.
