I’ve worked in the interiors magazine industry for the past five years, including Homes & Antiques and The English Home, and joined Homes & Gardens at the beginning of 2024 as the Kitchens & Bathrooms editor.
While I love every part of interior design, kitchens and bathrooms are some of the most exciting to design, conceptualize, and write about. There are so many trends, materials, colors, and playful decor elements to explore and experiment with.
When it comes to my own home, I’m always inspired by designers whose style embraces a mix of old and new with warm neutrals and moody colors. I love dark wood tones, leopard print accessories, all things marble, and finding the perfect balance between cozy and elevated.
