Jullia Joson

Jullia is Ideal Home’s Junior Writer and has been with the team since October 2022. When she first joined, Jullia was our resident Gen-Z for all things trending on social media, and she spent the majority of her time writing news stories, product round-ups, and following pop culture through an interior lens. During this time, she has interviewed the likes of Angela Scanlon, Kimberley Walsh, and Mrs Hinch, uncovering their home truths and best interior advice to relay to our readers. Now focused on home tech and cleaning, Jullia primarily spends her time writing features, curating buying guides, and now, as and the Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Vacuums, having spent over 60 hours testing different models, pouring hours into testing the latest releases in the world of vacuums, dehumidifiers, air purifiers, and more – all of which to help consumers understand how their appliances work, condensing expert advice into digestible explainers. She does the hard work, so you don’t have to.

Before joining the Ideal Home team, Jullia had just graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Architectural Studies at the University of Nottingham, which is where she discovered her love for journalism during her final year following an internship with the world’s most visited architecture platform, ArchDaily. It was during this time that she explored her interest in building design and architecture across cultures, media, and virtual planes.

When Jullia isn’t writing, you can find her arranging day trips out of the city, tracking down the next best hole-in-the-wall coffee shop, or losing hours to a cosy game or a book.IDEAL HOME TRUTHS

Where's your happy place?

Historically it’s always been my bedroom, but after moving out of my London flatshare a few months ago and into a cosy terrace in the Midlands, it’s now easily my living room. Anyone who knows me knows I love lounging around on the sofa, and now that I have a space that actually feels like a home, it’s unbeatable. Whether I'm playing video games, reading a book on my Kindle, or binge-watching a new series, you’ll catch me here day and night.

What’s your home addiction?

Decorative trinkets and anything LEGO, for sure. I have a bit of a blind box obsession so everything I’ve gathered is displayed on every available surface in my home, scattered on shelves and tabletops. The same goes with LEGO, as I’ve got a handful of LEGO flowers and even sets of my favourite Sanrio characters around the house. Some would argue and just call them dust collectors, but they’re my guilty pleasure.

What is your next home project?

For someone who loves and appreciates art, I must admit that my walls aren’t the greatest indicator. I’m a poster kid turned gallery wall addict – though it’s more of a vicarious experience right now. My goal is to fill the walls of my terrace with art and prints from local markets and independent shops using mix-match frames, to complement my many trinkets already making their home on my shelves and dresser tops.
