Zara joined Homes & Gardens in February 2022 as an Interiors Content Editor, specializing in writing content on interior color trends, decorating ideas and design inspiration. She is now the Managing Editor of Homes & Gardens and looks after all of the existing content on the website. After graduating with a BA in English Literature from the University of Sheffield in 2017, she has worked at multiple independent businesses within the luxury retail and lifestyle sectors. Her first job after university was working for Lisa Angel, initially in a customer service role and then progressing to assist in the buying department. She then moved to nest.co.uk as an Ecommerce Website Editor, progressing later into a Senior role and then as a Manager of a team of Editors responsible for creating content for the website.
In terms of her own personal style, she is a huge lover of color and pattern; she especially loves a pastel color scheme. She also enjoys nothing more than discovering new trends, brands and products, whether that be in fashion, interior design or lifestyle – her wish list of new things to buy is never-ending. She is originally from Norfolk but now lives in North London. She loves exploring London and making her way through her other never-ending list of new places to eat and drink.
