LOVE Island is officially back on our screens, which means we'll all be spending the summer watching contestants compete in their quest to find true love.
While the show is ready to turn heads with new twists and more drama, and plenty of coupling up, there's one thing that remains loyal — the iconic look of the Villa.

As always, stars in the 2025 series are staying in the swanky Villa in Mallorca, on the east coast of the island in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar.
But it had undergone a makeover for the tenth year anniversary to make sure it's bigger than ever with glam touch-ups.
This year, there is a new, supersized hideaway, walk-in wardrobes, an exercise bike and a steamy hot tub beside the huge pool.
A purple theme has also been added and extended through to the fire pit, while the rooms have been touched up with gold furnishings.
Even though you might not be able to install a built-in hot tub or pool in your own garden, there are still ways you can 'crack on' and add a touch of Love Island luxury to your home.
Interior experts have revealed that there are a few clever design choices that will serve up a vibe that's trendy and timeless.
And they are surprisingly easy for anyone who loves the popular ITV show.
Paint and interiors expert Lucy Steele from Valspar Paint shared her four tips for helping your space look like a real villa bombshell.
Go bright or go home
Lucy has said that an essential tip for nailing the Love Island look at home is by pairing bright whites with pops of bold colour.
She explained: "The interior of the Villa uses lots of brilliant whites as an easy backdrop for the bursts of fun colours throughout the space.

"Regularly using bold pinks, blues and butter yellows in the colour scheme of the Villa makes for a fun and playful aesthetic.
"If you already have neutral walls at home, you can achieve this by using the iconic colour trio to paint feature walls.
"Or simply coat doorframes and mirror frames for an instant refresh."
Firepit drama
No Love Island-inspired garden would be complete without the legendary fire pit.
So if you want to recreate the look of the Villa in your own space, then you definitely need to pick up one of these.
Lucy said: "This is an absolute must for the home, and it's actually fairly cheap to recreate.
"In more basic styles, you can get a fire pit for as little as £20 in standard retailers like B&Q.
"For a full-on Love Island garden vibe, add string fairy lights, sun loungers, and a splattering of colour-blocked cushions in the same blue, pink and yellow colour scheme.
"You may also want to coordinate the colour of your outdoor furniture with natural wood and whites.
"An easy way to achieve this cohesive look without splashing the cash is by painting your existing garden furniture with exterior paint, helping you stay loyal to the look."

Pop art inspo
This is a fairly new one, but pop art goes perfectly with the theme of the Love Island Villa.
Lucy advises: "Pop art was introduced to the design of the Villa fairly recently, and it works perfectly with the colour scheme throughout.
"Pop art prints are relatively low cost, or you could DIY your own to give your space a cheeky, flirtatious edge.
"Pop Art is a great way to add the Love Island look to your casa at a low cost.
"And it can also be easily changed in the future to new and exciting art pieces."
The five colours that are becoming outdated in 2025
IT'S important to make sure that when you update your space, you create a look that won't quickly become outdated.
With that in mind, interior designers have revealed the five colours that are beginning to fade now that we are halfway into 2025.
Interior pro Paulina Wojas from Stunning Chairs has said that 2025 is all about creating warm, inviting places.
Emerald Green - "While this colour is still loved for its luxe vibe, its declining popularity could be due to it being oversaturated".
Camel - "This could be due to Camel's brown-yellow undertone that may be too warm for a clean aesthetic, and 2025 interior trends favouring more muted, earthy tones such as taupe and olive.'
Burgundy - "A prominent trend this year is open, airy spaces with organic elements, which could explain burgundy's declining demand".
Scarlet Red - "While its vibrant hue is desirable for maximalist interiors, scarlet red's intensity can become overpowering, resulting in colour fatigue.
Teal - "While this aquatic shade is still desirable and perfect for coastal, Greek-inspired interiors, the low number of teal sales could be due to changing preferences and trends shifting towards warmer colour palettes.'
I've got a text… it says you need neon!
According to the experts, anyone looking to bring the vibe of the Villa into their home needs to bring in touches of neon.
Lucy explains: "Neon lights are an absolute must-have to achieve the Love Island look at home.
"Think playful phrases, a neon heart above your bed, or a cheeky cocktail sign for the garden.
"Neon is glam, Insta-ready, and surprisingly affordable.
"Plus, it'll give your space that unmistakable glow.
"It's perfect for setting the mood for your next pre-coupling party!"
