About Home Beautiful
There’s no place like Home Beautiful.
Connecting homes and hearts for almost 100 years, Home Beautiful is the most established and respected premium home improvement magazine in Australia.
Tucked within our pages, you’ll find renovation advice, decorating tips, outdoor inspiration and even our favourite shopping recommendations that will make your home truly beautiful. Of course, we can’t forget about the much-loved home tours that form the heart and soul of our magazine.
But, without the powerful team behind Home Beautiful, none of this would be possible…
Meet the Home Beautiful team
Together, the team has more than 50 years of experience writing (and dreaming) about everything homes. From editor Elle’s renovation diary to Diana’s floristry tips and Alice’s incredible gift guides, our experts have dedicated their career to helping turn houses into homes.

Victoria Kingsbury, Deputy Editor
When she’s not stalking interior designers and photographers for beautiful home content or sending the pages of Home Beautiful to print, deputy editor Victoria is either browsing homewares boutiques, scrolling images of Cotswold cottages or walking her crazy Cocker Spaniel along the beach. She lives on the NSW Central Coast with her young family, where she’s embracing the coastal aesthetic in her new home. Victoria has worked in the wonderful world of interiors magazines for over 20 years, writing for popular titles such as Your Home in the UK, Australian Home Beautiful and Real Living.

With over 20 years as a florist and more than 10 years specialising in interior decorating, design, and retail, Diana is a firm believer in making the best of what you have in front of you. From transforming her local bar into a space reminiscent of your best friend’s lounge room, to spontaneously revamping people’s bookshelves, Diana captures the essence of what she’s long promoted in homes – make it your own.

Brittany Smith, Features Editor
Features Editor Brittany Smith has had a passion for interiors since she was a child when she watched home improvement shows with her mum and sister. A Virgo with a knack for giving unsolicited advice, she’s been known to rearrange cabinets and alphabetise spice racks for loved ones in her mission to help others discover their own perfect home.
Emily Murray, Social media producer
As social media producer across Homes to Love and Home Beautiful, there’s nothing Emily loves more than curating stunning content for our social channels, from Instagram to Pinterest and everything in between. As an avid interior lover, it was long Emily’s dream to work at Home Beautiful magazine with the unfolding renovation of her own home sparking her journey. She has a wonderful instinct and thoughtfully captures the often unseen beauty behind the scenes – be it a home tour, decorating shoot or in the bucolic setting of her own backyard where she tends chickens, potters among her vegetable garden and is joyfully raising her cherished family.
Alice Ierace, Art Director
London born and raised, Home Beautiful Art Director Alice now lives on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
