Lola Houlton
Lola Houlton is H&G's long-term intern. Currently student of Psychology at the University of Brighton, she began writing content for Real Homes around the subjects of children's and teenagers' bedroom, in particular covering the psychology of teens and their approach to tidiness. From there, Lola expanded her knowledge of a broad range of subjects and now writes about everything from organization through to house plants while continuing her studies. Lola grew up in London with an interiors-obsessed mother, who schooled her hard in room layouts, color scheming and design in general – and while she originally considered working as a psychologist, she is now looking to work as a journalist full time, once she graduates.
