Stacey Solomon shows off her brand new orange bathroom inside £2m home but admits fans will HATE it
STACEY Solomon has unveiled her new-look bathroom – and admitted the colour choice could prove divisive.
The TV star – who has recently uprooted her brood from their famed house Pickle Cottage and moved to a new £2m property – shared photos on Instagram of the room, decked out in orange and grey tones.
Stacey proudly captioned the snap: “The Orange Bathroom – I’m ready for people to hate this!”
The mum-of-five, who also shares a step-son with partner Joe Swash, went on: “Honestly I love it so so much… as soon as I saw this tangerine bath set I fell in love with it.
“I just couldn’t throw it away it was so pretty.
“I have plenty of rooms to be neutral in but this is the boys upstairs bathroom and they LOVE this colour so I got to have so much fun in here bringing colour back to life.
“This room now just makes me happy as soon as I open the door.
“It’s so bright and cheerful!”
Stacey admitted there are “a few snagging bits to do I think I need to add some more bits and bobs but here she is”.
Ticking the room off the list, she finished: “One room done! Wahoo!”
Despite expecting fan backlash, the comments underneath the post were overwhelmingly positive.
“This is incredible,” ITV News‘ Paul Brand gushed, as another fan wrote that it was “nice to see something with a bit of personality as opposed to neutrals and greys that have engulfed the past decade!”
Another remarked, “Abso-loo-tely gorgeous! Totally love it,” as someone else penned: “Oh wow you’ve really smashed that. Looks amazing, great vision that a lot of people wouldn’t have thought of!”
One fan commented that it looked like a “Sindy dream house from the 70s”, as another pointed out the u-bend on the toilet still needed painting.
“I love love it! But stace the white pipe at the back of the loo can we spray paint this? It’s making my eye twitch!” they griped.
Stacey proved that the transformation was quite something, as she shared before snaps of the room, which featured dreary brown tiles and carpet and dull fixtures and fittings.
For the new room, the TV star has installed an orange bath, toilet and sink, with matching accessories, and added light grey tiles and white paint to the walls.
The taps and shower fixtures have been fitted in a brushed bronze, and orange stripes have been painted on the walls – with a “Get Naked” bath mat to complete the quirky look.
