Amy Cutmore

Amy Cutmore is an experienced interiors editor and writer who has worked on titles including Ideal Home, Homes & Gardens, Livingetc, Real Homes, GardeningEtc, Top Ten Reviews, and Country Life. She is also a winner of the PPA's Digital Content Leader of the Year.

Amy has been writing about interiors and tech for nearly 20 years — her first role was as a Features Writer, working on titles such as Inside Readers’ Homes, Inspirations for Your Home, and Country House & Home, before joining TI Media (or as it was at the time, IPC). She was part of the Ideal Home team from 2010 to 2023.

At sister site, Ideal Home, Amy served as consumer and technology editor before being promoted to digital editor in 2017. During her time on the title, she honed her expertise in property and interior design, with a strong focus on kitchen and bathroom design and planning. Amy is also a self-confessed technology geek, and ran a tech blog, Girl About Tech, for five years — picking up an Amara Blog Award in the process.

Prior to working at Ideal Home, Amy was deputy sub editor/writer at 25 Beautiful Homes from 2008-2010, where she got involved with plenty of real home makeovers. Before that, she held the deputy sub-editor/writer position at Beautiful Kitchens, where she became an expert in everything from appliances to flooring to worktops. She has also freelanced for titles such as Trusted Reviews and Wareable.

These days, Amy writes about anything and everything home-related, although her Mastermind-style specialist subjects are appliances and tech, kitchens and bathrooms. Amy is also a buy-to-let landlord, with a small portfolio of three properties, so she's clued up when it comes to renter and landlord rights and property advice in general.
