Andrea Childs

Andrea has been immersed in the world of homes, interiors and lifestyle since her first job in journalism, on Ideal Home. She went from women's magazine Options to Frank, a brand new title from the publishers of The Face and Arena. From there it was on to the launch of Red magazine, where she stayed for 10 years and became Assistant Editor. Two children and a move to the coast meant it was time to shift into freelancing, and she spent 14 exciting years writing for everyone from The Telegraph to The Sunday Times, Livingetc, Stylist and Woman & Home. When she was offered the job as Editor on Country Homes & Interiors, she couldn't resist – and now she combines that role with writing for homesandgardens.com.
