Hebe Hatton
Hebe has a background in lifestyle and interior journalism and a passion for renovating small spaces. She joined the Real Homes team as a staff writer in 2018, then moved to Livingetc in 2021 as Digital Editor. This influenced her style as she moved from renting to buying an Edwardian flat in London with her whippet Willow. Not finding this space small enough, she has recently converted a van for a life on the road in Europe. This has really challenged her to get clever with storage and make it feel homely.
