Home Ideas is an exciting new contemporary home-decorating magazine. Each month Home Ideas visits beautifully decorated homes and learns the secrets of the owners’ individual style.
With practical advice on soft furnishings, furniture, paint and appliances, Home Ideas provides inspiration for homeowners to create a comfortable and stylish environment in their own home.
And since home means more than decorating, we add a little cooking, a drop of wine and ideas for weekend getaways, ensuring plenty of exciting reading. We love real homes for modern lifestyles, and if you do too, you’ll be right at home with Home Ideas.
Meet The Home Ideas Team
Editor-in-Chief Margaret Megard
grew up in a family with more creativity than money. Her parents embarrassed her by decorating their home with second-hand furniture and castoffs they lovingly painted, varnished and restored. Today, Margaret thinks they were incredibly resourceful and talented and is happy to report that some of that spark has rubbed off on her. After a decade of editing home magazines such as Our House and Country Home Ideas, Margaret has seen tonnes of houses and when it comes to home decorating, she is keen to share what she thinks works and what doesn’t.
Editor Susan Kontic
spent too many years re-arranging words on corporate documents while hoarding pictures from magazines and creating dream homes in her mind, along with one or two for real. As editor of Home Ideas since it started, she’s lost her heart to a dozen fabulous places and seen more clever ideas than she’ll ever have time to try. Susan heads a talented team who gravitate naturally to the coffee maker and regale each other with tall tales of products found and projects planned.
Assistant Editor Selina Gordevich
Born in the Philippines, Selina grew up in homes filled with antiques and modern furniture with an Asian inspired twist. After completing her BA in English Literature, Selina went on to work with the Sydney Morning Herald, writing and styling for Special Reports. When she’s not painting walls and constantly giving rooms ‘mini make-over’s’, you can find her shopping up a storm!
Graphic Designer Ela Moxham
knew she wanted to be a designer from the moment she set foot in her first exhibition. Before she joined the Home Ideas team, she worked internationally as a freelance designer, specialising in film, advertising and corporate design. She spends her spare time hanging out with her two gorgeous kids, Zac and Amaya, visiting art galleries and tracking down classic pieces to personalise her home.
