Emily is Homes & Gardens' Paint & Color Editor, covering all things color across interior design and home decor. She joined the H&G team in the summer of 2023, having studied Fashion Communication at Norwich Arts University before working in various creative roles and writing for a Scandinavian lifestyle publication ahead of making the leap into the world of interior design.
Originally from Scotland, Emily lives in Glasgow where she loves admiring the city's architecture, frequenting her favorite coffee spots, and sourcing vintage furniture for her tenement apartment. Her interior style is inspired by the simplicity of midcentury design, mixed with more playful modern pieces that inject small (but bold) doses of color.
