Anna moved into the world of interiors from academic research in the field of literature and urban space four years ago. She has always been interested in how people make houses into homes, and how our concepts of what's stylish change over time. On H&G, she specializes in writing about property – buying, selling, renting, mortgages – sustainability and eco issues. These are areas that really interest her and she loves nothing more than getting to the detail of a difficult subject. She rents her home and is always looking at ways to make it cozy without having to do major DIY.
