Critical reception

In a 1995 review in The New York Times, Michael Owens describes her "fully researched" book The Mackintosh Style: Design and Decor as "a keeper".[4][5][6] Her book, Scandinavian Modern Home, was Book of the Week at the Evening Standard in September 2008.[7]

An article written by Wilhide on tiles appeared in the Evening Standard at the same time as the publication of her book Surface & Finish.[8]
