In this book inspired by her phenomenally popular Substack newsletter, India Knight explores the essence of what makes a home, debunking intimidating ideas about ‘taste’ and trends, offering practical and reassuring advice for every room, and above all celebrating the joy and comfort that comes from being surrounded by things you love.

This is partly a book about a feeling. We all know it, regardless of where we live. Home is when you open the front door and exhale.

In this joyous, practical, wise and entertaining book, inspired by her phenomenally popular Substack newsletter, India Knight explores and celebrates the essence of what makes a home.

Whether it is grand or modest, urban or rural, rented or owned, shared or occupied solo, her mission is to make you sigh with contentment the moment you’re through your front door.

From understanding the best lightbulbs and the most flattering paint colours, or knowing what to make when you’ve asked people to dinner and have forgotten (or maybe never learned) how to cook, Home debunks intimidating ideas about ‘taste’ and celebrates the timeless importance of charm.

Inspiring you to think imaginatively about how to use the things you’ve already got, advising you on what to look out for when buying a sofa, and opening your eyes to the transformative power of a well-chosen picture frame, India will steer you far, far away from trends and Instagram and helps you find, trust – and take pride in – what you like.

Going from the hallway to the bedroom, via the bathroom, the kitchen, the sitting room and all the spaces in between, India shares everything she knows about how to create and find joy in every room. Along the way she shares life lessons, tips and stories of the things and people that have shaped her, and the places she has called home.

So, step over the threshold and come on in.

Praise for Home

No matter what the topic, India writes so beautifully and with such good humor and grace — I feel like I’m sitting in the kitchen having coffee and chatting with an old friend

Jolene Handy, author of Time Travel Kitchen, praise for Home (Substack)

A rattle bag of lifestyle content, always interesting, and I love the writing

Laura Calder, praise for Home (Substack)

I can't get by without my weekly dose of 'HOME'. India's writing is so warm and engaging that it feels like you're amongst a group of friends

Jo Thompson, author of The Gardening Mind, praise for Home (Substack)

Quintessentially indispensable … brimming with generosity and love of life. I want to share this book with everyone I love and those I don’t … in the conviction that Home will make them NICER by association

Julia Nixon, author of The Book of Revelations

I would follow India Knight anywhere, both in and out of the home and anywhere else for that matter. Her writing is funny, informative, pertinent, and just very necessary
