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". 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.
