Dominique Corlett is an experienced journalist and editor who has worked in magazine publishing for more than 20 years. She started out in celebrity magazines in the late 1990s and has worked in interiors for the last 10 years. She was deputy editor of another of Immediate’s homes titles, Homes & Antiques, until going freelance in 2016. For the last three years she has continued to write for H&A, along with other titles including Country Living, House Beautiful, Real Homes and Gardens Illustrated. Dominique is interiors obsessed inside and outside of working hours and is currently tackling a house project of her own in Bristol, where she lives with her husband and three children.

Dominique commented: “I am thrilled to be joining EKBB as editor and am looking forward to working with all of the talented people who contribute to this beautiful-looking, inspirational magazine. Interiors have been my passion since my early teens when my parents bought a badly-decorated house with great bones and put a wallpaper stripper in my hand and encouraged me to get involved. The possibilities of that process of transformation have fascinated and inspired me ever since. With EKBB showcasing the very best in aspirational kitchen, bathroom and bedroom design I can’t wait to get going with steering the magazine and brand through its next phase of development.”

Marie Davies, Managing Director, Specialist added, “EKBB requires an editor with a keen eye for aesthetic beauty and an understanding of how to showcase the very best kitchen, bedroom and bathroom projects to our audience. Dominique has a clear passion and strong editorial eye for making a product that hits the mark with both our readers and with our trusted clients. I am delighted Dominique is taking the helm of EKBB and look forward to working with her and the team in developing the brand further as we integrate it into the Specialist portfolio”.
