Hi! I’m Eve Smallman and I’m a content editor at Real Homes. I live in a rented Victorian terraced home near the city with my partner and enjoy making it shine with decorations that are beautiful and practical.

In my home, I love bringing the outside in with soft colors such as dusky pinks and sage greens, wooden and rattan textures, and floral prints and decorations.

Living in a small space myself, I know how hard it can be to style it in a way that matches the aesthetic you want to go for. That's why I’m here to bring you on-trend news pieces, product round-ups, and design inspiration.

When I'm not writing about interiors, you can find me running in my local country park, diving into a cheeseboard, and shopping for new cozy home buys to make our rental feel like ours.
