Real Living editor-in-chief Deborah Bibby on the ‘grown up’ magazine and how it’s changed

Bauer Media has launched its digital hub Homes To Love which brings together brands such as Australian House and Garden, Belle, Real Living and Homes+. Mumbrella’s Miranda Ward spoke to Real Living editor-in-chief Deborah Bibby on what Homes To Love means for the title, Real Living’s 10th birthday last month and how homes titles audiences have changed.

Deborah Bibby has been at the helm of homes and lifestyle magazine Real Living since it’s launch ten years ago, and in that time has steered the title into a new direction in response to the magazine’s changing consumer, whilst also extending the brand into events.

The title is now part of Bauer’s digital hub Homes to Love which Bibby said the team “were very involved at the start”. 

“All the editors had a round table helping them to create what we thought our readers wanted. We have a lot of involvement,” she said.
