As well as writing for Homes & Gardens, Ideal Home, Style at Home, Country Homes & Interiors (to name a few), Tara’s keen eye for styling combined with a passion for creating a happy – and functional – family home has led to a series of organization and cleaning features for H&G. She’s about to put her own advice to the test with an imminent house move from town to country, and no doubt discover more top tips along the way.
