About Homes & Gardens: who we are, what we do, and how to contact us

I have written about interiors, property and gardens since 1990, working my way around the interiors departments of women's magazines before switching to interiors-only titles in the mid-nineties. I was Associate Editor on Ideal Home, and Launch Editor of 4Homes magazine, before moving into digital in 2007, launching Channel 4's flagship website, Channel4.com/4homes. In 2018, I took on the role of Global Editor in Chief for Realhomes.com, taking the site from a small magazine add-on to a global success. I was asked to repeat that success at Homes & Gardens, where I have also taken on the editorship of the magazine. I am a serial renovator and also own rental properties, so bring first-hand knowledge to the subjects I oversee. I have many design heroes, but if forced to pick two, they would be Jake Arnold and Irene Gunter – both create beautiful homes that are inviting and practical.

I am Editorial Director of Future's Homes network, and I am very proud to run the brilliant media brands Homes & Gardens (including its sister print magazines Country Homes and Period Living) and Livingetc. I've been writing and editing interiors, design, decorating and lifestyle content for my whole career and I am utterly passionate about it. It spills into my home life, too, as I renovate projects with my husband George. Style-wise I am most comfortable in pared-back spaces, where a curated selection of pieces have room to breathe. I love raw linen, textured plaster, weathered wood and luscious marble. I then also try to mix in an imaginative or surprising touch - like a bespoke cornice (we recently did a fun bobbin design), an accent chair with a frill or a stand-out pattern in a small entryway. It’s all about the detail.  

I am the Deputy Editor (Digital) of Homes & Gardens online. Before starting this position, I had completed various interior design courses at KLC Design School, as well as working across Ideal Home, LivingEtc, 25 Beautiful Homes and Country Homes & Interiors as an interiors writer. When the opportunity to work on such a prestigious, influential brand came up, I just couldn't pass up on the offer. I had long admired Homes & Gardens, and to me, this brand epitomizes luxury and beauty at its finest. My perfect space would be a grand Georgian property – it is an architectural style that I admire greatly – though my style varies wildly from anywhere between classic design to modern farmhouse simplicity. If I could pick one interior designer to remodel my home, it would be Beata Heuman. Her classic yet quirky interior choices are unparalleled.

I joined the Homes & Gardens team in February 2022. Previously I was Editor in Chief at RealHomes.com, a team I joined in March 2020 ahead of the US launch. I've written about homes, renovations and decor for more than 10 years, including for brands and publishers like Architectural Digest, Martha Stewart Living, Refinery29, Modern Luxury Interiors, Wayfair, New England Home, Amazon, The Design Network, and many more. I consider design to be a passion of mine, and when I'm not working, I'm usually redecorating a room in my house or convincing my husband to pick up my purchases at various antique shops. Style-wise, I love a fresh-traditional look and layered aesthetics. Anything too perfect or well-defined in style feels boring, and I hold a firm stance that every room needs something vintage. I currently live in Connecticut with my husband, two sons, one daughter, and a black lab, where I'm usually trying to keep them all from spilling on the white sofas.

I am Deputy Editor of Homes & Gardens magazine. Before joining Future Plc, I worked as an interior stylist and set designer, specializing in editorial and commercial photo shoots as well as installations, exhibitions and events. My background within this field means I have a particular interest in the creative ways to make a house a home, as well as hunting down the best places to source beautiful things. 

I'm Head of eCommerce at Homes & Gardens. Before I joined Future in 2022, I got my start in reviewing at the iconic Good Housekeeping Institute, testing and reviewing a wide range of household products and appliances - everything from vacuums to washing machines to dog toys to exercise bikes. I also worked on content for Prima, Red, Mens' Health and Womens' Health. I then moved to BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine, assessing gardening tools, machinery, and wildlife products, and worked on content for BBC Good Food and Radio Times. Outside of obsessing over product reviews, I love a good bit of mid-century modern design and coming up with ways of rewilding gardens and outdoor spaces.

En route to joining Homes & Gardens, I was a newspaper reporter, Editor of a regional magazine, and Editorial Manager for a travel company. I started at Real Homes in 2015 as Deputy Editor and then become Editor before taking on my current position, which focuses on video and events across all our brands, including Homes & Gardens. I love the textures and pared-back palette of Scandi interiors, but also like to experiment with colors inspired by nature, especially sea blues, foliage greens and sky greys. I think the secret to great style is investing in classic pieces of furniture and then adding color and personality through artwork and accessories, but I won’t be achieving that until the children leave home sometime in their mid twenties.

I'm Amy, Editor in Chief of Audience across Future's Homes portfolio. I've been working with Homes & Gardens since 2019, overseeing its migration to a shiny new platform and building a content strategy that has seen the site grow from a small-but-perfectly-formed interiors site into a global success story. Homes is truly my home: I've worked almost exclusively on interiors magazines and websites since 2002, on brands such as Ideal Home, Livingetc, Real Homes, 25 Beautiful Homes and Gardeningetc. I've always been a bit of a 'techspert', and although I've retired my alter ego, Girl About Tech, I still love to write about (and test) the latest gadgets and gizmos. I'm also a landlady, and though I tend to keep my rental properties sleek, chic and neutral, my own home is a riot of color and pattern...

As editor of Period Living, Britain's best-selling period homes magazine, and H&G's sister title, I love the charm of older properties. I live in a rural village, so am lucky to be surrounded by beautiful homes and countryside, where I enjoy exploring. As well as editing Period Living, I also write weekly features on restoration and gardening for Homes & Gardens. In my previous roles, I have worked on Real Homes and Homebuilding & Renovating, writing about modern design and architecture, so my experience is broad – but my heart belongs to period homes. My other passion is my garden, and I am slowly building up my planting knowledge, and becoming more confident at experimenting with growing my own. 

With over 30 years of working in journalism on women's home and lifestyle media brands, I am the Editorial Director, Homes Content, at Future. I am the Team Content Lead for the UK’s leading homes and gardens portfolio including Homes & Gardens, Country Homes & Interiors, Livingetc, Ideal Home, Style at Home, Woman & Home, 25 Beautiful Homes, Amateur Gardening and Easy Gardens. My team comprises best-in-the-business editors, writers and stylists that plan and produce content from print to digital, syndication to commercial. 

I'm a homes writer and editor with more than 20 years' experience in publishing. I have worked across many titles, including Ideal Home and, of course, Homes & Gardens. My day job is as Chief Group Sub Editor across the homes and interiors titles in the group. This has given me broad experience in interiors advice on just about every subject. I'm obsessed with interiors and delighted to be part of the Homes & Gardens team.

I am the Style Editor at Homes & Gardens and Livingetc magazines, looking after the decorating features. Before joining Homes & Gardens in 2014, I worked for over 20 years mainly as a freelance interior stylist and art director producing photo shoots for many editorial titles and commercial clients, including Elle Decoration, Livingetc (I worked on the launch issue back in 1998!), Habitat and The White Company, to name but a few. As well as overseeing and art directing the original photography we produce, I also lead on many of the design ideas you see in print and online.

Interiors have always been my passion. After studying English at university, my first jobs were at the Financial Times, followed by Radio Times. I did an interior design course and then landed a job on Homes & Gardens, before working on other mags such as Country Living, House Beautiful, Country Homes & Interiors and Ideal Home. I’ve always loved reader homes and got a thrill from spotting an amazing house that I knew would be perfect for a magazine (I have been known to knock on the doors of houses with curb appeal!), so I moved from being a chief sub editor to a role as a houses editor, combining my writing and editing skills with styling and art directing on shoots. I returned to Homes & Gardens in 2019, when I took on the houses editor role. 

I'm houses editor for Homes & Gardens online, and homes editor for Period Living and Country Homes & Interiors magazines. I've been writing and editing features on interiors and gardens for nearly 30 years, starting out at Ideal Home magazine. I've also moved house quite a few times – totting up 10 homes in 12 years during a particularly nomadic time in my life. I like to think that makes me quite the homes expert, or at least very experienced and with a clear idea of what I like and don't like in a home. I love visiting and writing about old houses for Period Living and featuring rural properties for Country Homes & Interiors, and working with photographers to capture all kinds of historic homes. 

I joined Homes & Gardens in February 2022 as a Content Editor. After studying English Literature at University, I have worked as an Ecommerce Website Editor, Content Writer and Buying Intern at multiple independent businesses within the luxury retail and lifestyle sectors. My role at Homes & Gardens unites my love, experience and passion for the world of design and desire to create inspiring written content. In terms of my own personal style, I'm a huge lover of color and pattern, I especially love a pastel color scheme. I also enjoy nothing more than discovering new trends, brands and products, whether that be in fashion, interior design or lifestyle – my wish list of new things to buy is never-ending.

Lover of all things vintage, floral and country, I have been working in interiors media for 10 years. A graduate of Art History, and former Style Editor for Period Living magazine, I then became a contributing editor to H&G, writing many interiors and ideas features. I also contribute to Period Living and Country Homes & Interiors magazines. I am a nostalgic soul who is passionate about historic architecture and traditional craftsmanship. When I'm not writing about homes and gardens you'll find me pottering on my allotment, where I grows flower for styling my own home and interiors shoots. 

Having graduated with a degree in English Literature, I started my career as a features writer and sub-editor at Period Living magazine, H&G's sister title. Over the past six years, I have been learning all the intricacies of owning and caring for a period home from designing a luxury bathroom through to choosing the right windows for your old property. From here, I have honed my writing, developing interest in traditional interior design, especially kitchens. Writing for the Homes & Gardens website as a content editor, alongside Period Living and Country Homes & Interiors magazines, has also enabled me to write content focused around my interests, gardening and nature. There’s nothing I love more than getting out in the garden and adding new plants to my ever growing collection.

I'm the Associate Editor across the homes titles at Future and have worked for the majority of Britain’s monthly interiors titles, such as Ideal Home, Country Homes & Interiors and Livingetc, as well as for websites HomesandGardens.com and Gardeningetc.com. I've written about every area of the home, indoors and out, from shopping and decorating, appliances and home tech, wallpaper and fabric, kitchens and bathrooms, even extensions and conversions.  

I am Senior Content Editor on Homes & Gardens and write and commission garden content for the magazine, website and sister titles Period Living and Country Homes & Interiors magazines. I was previously Content Editor on Period Living for 10 years, and before that freelanced for many years, working across a range of content pillars and covering a plethora of topics ranging from interiors, gardening, history and arts and crafts, to wildlife. I love the variety of my work and the fact I learn something new every day. Gardening, in particular, is a lifelong journey of discovery, and nature has a wonderful way of acting in new and unexpected ways when you thought you could predict it! 

I was part of a team that launched Easy Gardens magazine two years ago and I continue to edit it today. I am also a gardens writer for Homes & Gardens, Country Homes & Interiors, Ideal Home and Style At Home so I am lucky enough to see and write about gardening across all sizes, budgets and abilities. What I am most passionate about when it comes to gardening are the positive effects it has on our mental health to grow and care for plants. Keeping our patches alive with greenery is great for the environment too and help provide food and shelter for wildlife. 

I made my first foray into writing about homes 10 years ago when I joined the Homebuilding & Renovating team as web editor. In 2015 I was asked to also look after Real Homes' predecessor Realhomesmagazine.co.uk and the Period Living website which has now found a new home on Homesandgardens.com. In 2020 I began overseeing product content for them all. When I bought my first house seven years ago my love of interiors suddenly became a lot more hands on. It is an ongoing project but I have put our advice to good use, tiling a bathroom wall and converting my attic. 

I'm the Deputy Ecommerce Editor at H&G, and with a penchant for shopping and four years of ecommerce experience behind me, it's my job to tell readers what to buy for their home, when to invest — and where to do their shopping. My ecommerce experience has inspired countless online purchases across the titles of Ideal Home, Livingetc, Gardeningetc, Real Homes, and Woman & Home. I'm always in the know of the latest home trends and seasonal events, with a large part of my role spent focused on sale season. I live in an apartment in South London that I am slowly redecorating to fit in with my mid-century modern meets Scandi-style taste. I'm always on the lookout for high-quality homewares to refresh my space, whether that be a fancy new vase for my favorite sunflowers to sit inside or a statement-worthy triple-wick candle to emanate the scent of luxury into my rooms.

Lover of all things vintage, floral and country, I have been working in interiors media for 10 years. A graduate of Art History, and former Style Editor for Period Living magazine, I then became a contributing editor to H&G, writing many interiors and ideas features. I also contribute to Period Living and Country Homes & Interiors magazines. I am a nostalgic soul who is passionate about historic architecture and traditional craftsmanship. When I'm not writing about homes and gardens you'll find me pottering on my allotment, where I grows flower for styling my own home and interiors shoots. 

 I gained an appreciation and understanding of color, form, and composition in the design studio, creating surface patterns for the interiors industry. Here I developed a deeper knowledge of key design principles and gained understanding of how spaces and materials can influence our sense of wellbeing.

My own style is considered, contemporary and timeless, with a strong interest in contemporary craft and homewares that champion collaboration between traditional craftsmanship and innovative technologies.

After completing my own house renovation, including far too much time spent deliberating over the exact shade of white paint, and several years working within the interiors industry, I now write for Homes & Gardens, Livingetc, Ideal Home and Gardeningetc covering all things furniture and decor. 

I officially joined the Homes & Gardens team in January 2021 to manage buying guide content in the US, keeping tabs on what’s new and amazing, and trying those products out too to make recommendations about our top picks. Currently, I oversee shopping content about sleep, including mattresses and bedding. As a savvy, price-conscious shopper myself, I always focus on both quality and value, with a discerning approach. I’ve previously worked on the commerce teams with Apartment Therapy, The Kitchn, The Spruce, The Spruce Eats, and MyDomaine, covering everything from major sales to new product launches. I credit my love of shopping and design to my mother, who really helped develop those habits at an early age, and now I get to make a living out of it… what could be better?  

I've been writing for Homes & Gardens since the beginning of 2021, covering all things product-related. A lover of al fresco dining, I'm always on the hunt for the best barbecues and pizza ovens for entertaining friends and family. I'm also a firm believer that everyone should have their own herb garden, and can often be found taming my over-zealous rosemary plant. 

I have worked on Homes & Gardens with the ecommerce team since the start of 2021, bringing my background in technology and enthusiasm for interior design with me. I’m passionate about incorporating smart devices into the home without compromising on style, and my own interior design style has evolved over the years to reflect this. I work across the site on reviews and buying guides, offering expertise on all of the devices and gadgets that readers might want to try out in their space, all whilst hunting for the perfect smart speaker for every room of my own home.

My first job right after college was as an intern for Kelly Cutrone at People's Revolution, where I learned how to market brands and strike emotions within consumers. Once leaving there, I landed at Marie Claire as a marketing assistant. There I discovered my distinct eye and how to cater to different products to specifically targeted demographics. I continued working my way up the ladder, landing a role as an Editorial Coordinator at Penske Media Company, later leaving to join AMI as a Content Creator. There, I worked alongside all of their top-performing brands including U.S. Weekly and Men's Journal (to name a few). In 2019, at the Awin and ShareASale's ThinkTank 2019 Network Awards, I took home the award for 'Content Strategy of the Year,' after a wildly successful partnership with Allbirds.  Following all of that excitement – and joining Business Insider's team as a contributor – I exited the AMI brands and joined Homes & Gardens as their U.S. Shopping Editor. 

I'm the News Editor on Homes & Gardens covering everything from the common mistake you're making when decorating a room, to handy tips about how to sell your home to hunting down celebrity homes. I have been covering all things homes and gardening for two years across Homes & Gardens and Ideal Home. There isn't a single trend that passes without me knowing about it. 

I am the News and Trends Editor at Homes & Gardens. I first joined Future Plc as a News Writer across their interiors titles, including Livingetc and Real Homes. As the News Editor, I often focus on emerging microtrends, sleep and wellbeing stories, and celebrity-focused pieces. Before joining Future, I worked as a News Explainer at The Telegraph, following my MA in International Journalism at the University of Leeds. During my BA in English Literature and Creative Writing, I gained writing experience in the US while studying in New York. I also focused on travel writing during my time living in Paris, where I produced content for a French travel site. I currently live in London with my antique typewriter and an expansive collection of houseplants. 

I am the junior writer for Homes & Gardens online. I joined the brand in June 2022 after completing my degree in English Literature and interning as a sustainability writer. My role at Homes & Gardens allows me to unite my passion for interiors and the outside world with my love of writing. My personal style is influenced by dark, earthy color schemes and I am an advocate for cozy homes you can escape the world in. Outside of work there is nothing I like more than taking life slowly and pottering around my kitchen baking. 

I moved into the world of interiors from academic research in the field of literature and urban space three years ago. I've always been interested in how people make houses into homes, and how our concepts of what's stylish change over time. On H&G, I specialize in writing about property – buying, selling, renting, mortgages – sustainability and eco issues. These are areas that really interest me and I love nothing more than getting to the nitty gritty of a difficult subject. I rent my home and am always looking at ways to make it cozy without having to do major DIY.

I am the Social Media Editor for Homes & Gardens, and also work across Ideal Home, Livingetc, Real Homes and Gardeningetc. Homes and interiors are a passion for me, and I regularly lose hours on Pinterest, trawling through inspiring interiors and designs. I am currently renovating my first property, and realize what a perfectionist I really am! Style-wise, I loves everything from fresh, Scandi-style interiors to cozy country homes.
