Emily Moorman

Emily is a freelance interior design writer based in Scotland. Prior to going freelance in the spring of 2025, Emily worked as Homes & Gardens’ Paint & Color Editor, covering all things color across interiors and home decor for the Homes & Gardens website. Having gained specific expertise in this area, Emily is well-versed in writing about decorating with color — from the latest color trends to guiding homeowners toward the best paint shades — and is passionate about the importance of color psychology in home design to create spaces that are as practical and comfortable as they are stylish. Before her career in writing, Emily studied at Norwich University of the Arts, gaining an undergraduate degree in Fashion Communication. Upon graduating, she worked in creative roles across PR and marketing, giving her valuable experience in storytelling and digital communication. She uses her varied industry experience to craft meaningful written content, working with leading interior designers to inspire homeowners to create personality-led homes. Based in Glasgow, Emily lives in a tenement flat, which she loves furnishing with vintage furniture finds. Her own interior design style reflects the simplicity and clean lines of mid-century design, paired with more modern pieces. While she loves the calmness of a neutral color palette, she enjoys adding bolder colors through accents. Emily loves homes that tell a story and reflect a timeless approach to design and decorating, and is constantly inspired by unique spaces that feel truly personal.
