Pippa is a homes writer and stylist with a passion for historic and country homes, craft, folksy style, print, and color. After a degree in Art History, she began her career over 10 years ago as a freelance styling assistant for editorial and commercial projects contributing to brands and titles including John Lewis, Tesco, Homes & Antiques, BBC Antiques Roadshow Magazine, Molly Makes, Country Homes & Interiors.
From there she became Content Producer for Period Living, where her flair for creating decorating content and styling homes and cover shoots saw her progress to the role of Style Editor. Here she oversaw the news, decorating, shopping, and antiques pages whilst styling and writing numerous homes features and cover shoots, working closely with photographers to create beautiful imagery for the magazine.
Continuing her passion for decorating and inspiring people to make their homes unique, Pippa now regularly contributes to Homes & Gardens, and she is always on the hunt for beautiful images and exciting new trends to share with an international audience. With her heart in the country, when she’s not writing, you’ll find her on her village allotment, Pippa’s Plot, growing flowers for her styling work or hunting out the next best walk, cafe, farm shop or antiques fair. She’s also a keen cook, yogi and runner.
