Charlotte is style and trends editor at Homes and Gardens and has been with the team since Christmas 2023. Following a 5 year career in Fashion, she found herself working at many women's glossy magazines including Grazia, Stylist, and Hello! as well as freelance styling for one very busy stint. Charlotte was the Interiors Editor at British heritage department store Liberty prior to her role at Homes & Gardens, where she worked behind the scenes on the magic-making at Liberty.
On the weekends, you'll find her working through the never-ending list of DIY jobs at home - from kitchen fitting to tiling and endless painting. Her personal interior style is ever-evolving, but she mostly admires designers with an eclectic, lived-in feeling that sparks joy like Beata Heuman and Studio Ashby.
