Rebecca Knight has been the Deputy Editor on the Ideal Home Website since 2022. She graduated with a Masters degree in magazine journalism from City, University of London in 2018, before starting her journalism career as a staff writer on women's weekly magazines. She fell into the world of homes and interiors after joining the Ideal Home website team in 2019 as a Digital Writer. In 2020 she moved into position of Homes News Editor working across Homes & Gardens, LivingEtc, Real Homes, Gardeningetc and Ideal Home covering everything from the latest viral cleaning hack to the next big interior trend. In 2022 she returned full time to the Ideal Home team, where she indulges her passion for DIY projects. She is currently decorating her first unfurnished rental flat in London and enjoys thrifting through charity shops and high street stores to get a high end look without breaking the bank.
Ideal Home Truths
Where’s your happy place?
My happy place is sitting in the living room at my Mum's house in North Yorkshire. She lives at the top of a hill in the countryside, so the living room has huge windows looking out over the rolling fields below.
What’s your home addiction?
I'm obsessed with vintage crockery, I'm a magpie for scouring charity shop bric-a-brac shelves. My best finds to date are a set of pastel blue Wedgewood candle stick holders and a set of six cut glass wine tumblers I picked up at a second-hand store in the Lake District.
What is your next home project?
I just moved into my first unfurnished rental flat so we're busy kitting it out. We're mostly trying to stick to using second-hand items we're bought cheaply or picked up for free. We inherited some wooden farmhouse chairs from a family friend that need a little upcycling love so they're my next big project.
