Helen is CompactHome's chief editor. She takes the guides that more than one writer has had a hand in and makes sure they still read like one person who has lived in the room. After years in UK housing and interiors journalism, she treats a small home as a set of constraints, not a mood board, and she still measures the doorway before believing a product photo.
Maya edits CompactHome and writes about storage, furniture and the unglamorous layout problems of UK flats. She has lived in a 38m² conversion and a terrace with a hallway too narrow for a pram.
Tom covers drying, dehumidifiers and condensation. He tests kit in an unheated Yorkshire spare room in winter, which is a more honest lab than a press shot.
