Elizabeth Wilhide is a prolific writer of books on design and decoration. In a New York Times review of 1995, Michael Owens describes her "fully researched" book The Mackintosh Style: Design and Decor as "a keeper". Her book Scandinavian Modern Home was Book of the Week at the Evening Standard in September 2008.
An article written by Wilhide on tiles appeared in the Evening Standard at the same time as the publication of her book Surface & Finish.
Wilhide's first novel, Ashenden, was published by Penguin in June 2012. Her second novel, If I Could Tell You, was published by Fig Tree Penguin in February 2016.
