From her popular documentary Molly-Mae: Behind it All to her home decor Instagram account, the influencer has regularly given fans a sneak peek into her high-end home.
And if you found yourself admiring the 25-year-old's taste, you can now replicate it without breaking the bank.
Paint and interiors expert Lucy Steele from Valspar Paint revealed the best ways for recreating Molly-Mae's look in your own home.
NEUTRALS ON NEUTRALS
According to the pro, the staple look in the former Love Islander's home is the "cleverly curated colour scheme" of white, creams, and beiges.

Lucy explained that this gives the home a "serene and luxurious" look throughout.
"The all-white bedroom is a calming space that feels like you're relaxing in a cloud," she said.
She referenced the padded feature wall, which Molly-Mae opted for rather than a traditional headboard, as well as the floor-to-ceiling mirrors she added as the backdrop.
The expert detailed how these features create an all-neutral room, which "will make you feel weightless and relaxed the second you step into it".

"Using a white paint could feel like a bit of a risk, especially if, like Molly-Mae, you have young children," cautioned Lucy.
"Using a paint that has excellent scrub-ability will mean you can scrub stains with a sponge and not remove any paint."

ART DECO-INSPIRED FURNITURE
And while her overall colour scheme is neutral, Molly-Mae still manages to keep each room in her house looking visually interesting and full of depth.
According to Lucy, she does this by using items like curved furniture and lots of textures.

"For example, the use of a round table with curved dining room chairs makes the place feel instantly modern and contemporary," the pro said.
She added that the soft lines still keep the home feeling "welcoming and gentle".
The Art Deco style "emphasises clean lines and sleek forms", which Lucy explained helps to make the home look modern and luxurious, without having to feature lots of colour or expensive materials.
PURPOSEFUL STORAGE
If there's one thing that can instantly take away from a luxury look in the home, it's clutter, revealed Lucy.

"By clearing away the excess, you reveal the beauty of your floors, walls, and surfaces, creating a space that feels refined and sophisticated," she explained.
"A clutter-free home embodies the minimalistic elegance often associated with luxurious living."
She recommended "adding some soft layered lighting throughout the home" to stop the space from looking "dull and uninteresting".

SPA-INSPIRED BEDROOM
"Recreating a spa environment at home can be easier than you think, and the bathroom is the perfect place to do this as you pamper yourself in the bath or shower," Lucy said.
"Using gold throughout the bathroom is a great way to reflect the elegance of a spa."
She suggested opting for gold bath taps or gold embroidery on towels for small, subtle touches of gold.
"A good smell is such a charming quality in the home and will definitely impress guests," she continued.

Rose, jasmine, vanilla, and lavender are all tranquil scents that Lucy recommends for your bathroom diffusers, candles, cleaning sprays, bath soaps, and gels.
"Painting your walls with light neutrals such as cream and taupe can
also provide a sense of ease and warmth, while bringing a bright and airy feel to your home," Lucy added.

It is characterised by keeping things simple, comfortable, and natural looking.
Lucy explained that these Japandi inspired designs are all over Molly-Mae's home.
"From the abundance of plant life, to the soft textures throughout the home, you get the instant sense of serene minimalism from
her space," she explained.
"Using calming whites, plenty of cushions, and rounded furniture invites you to slow down and relax."

'I found the perfect 'blonzing' product for summer that rivals rhode'
'Blonzers' are on the rise for summer, and Mirror's shopping writer Grace tested out Refy's newest blush drop to see how it looked on the skin Popular beauty brand REFY is one of our favourites over here at the Mirror. From the popular Lip Sculpt to the Lash Sculpt mascara (loved by Molly-Mae by the way) and my personal favourite, the Brow Tint, Refy products never miss. And the brand has just extended its Cream Blush range with two new shades that are perfect for summer. The shades included are Rust, a deep, warm-toned burnt orange and Plum, a cool-toned deep berry. Thanks to Hailey Bieber sparking the berry-toned make-up trend, and her popular Toasted Teddy Pocket Blush from rhode, we're not surprised to see that orange and burgundy blush shades are on the rise. I'm a huge fan of orange and brown toned blushers that give that popular 'blonzed' or sunburnt look so I was so excited to see that REFY had launched these new shades. Refy Rust Cream Blush Review What I love most about REFY blushes is the smooth, buildable texture that melts into the skin and creates that natural sun-kissed flush, and this new Rust shade is no exception. I hate cream blushes that require you to work really hard with the formula, and luckily this blush is quite literally fool-proof. It glides efffortlessly onto the skin, especially when using the Refy Duo Brush to apply it. And priced at £16, it's a really wallet-friendly blush that only requries a little bit each time you use it. Creating that beautiful 'sunburnt' blush look that I aim for everytime I do my make-up, and this blush is really the shade of the summer. Although I've not personally tested out rhode's Toasted Teddy, it has that similar burnt terracotta tone that's so popular at the moment. I'm not the only fan of these cream blushes with Molly Mae raving about the shade Malaya. This is a cool dusty pink with neutral undertones, perfect if you like using a pink blush that's not overly bubblegum or coral pink and has more of a mauve-y depth to the shade. A few of my other favourite blushes that have that similar bronze-y feel includes the Morphe Cheek Thrills Multi Finish Face Trio Palette, a fairly new product but already a staple in my make-up bag and priced at £19. Plus the Nudestix Nudies All Over Face Matte Bronze, priced at £31.50, which I used as a blush rather than a bronzer.

Stanley Kubrick house inspires its own teen resident into film
A teenager who lives in Stanley Kubrick's former home says she has been inspired to become a film 17, said that living in Abbots Mead in Barnet Lane, Elstree, Hertfordshire, had "definitely sparked a bigger interest in the film industry".The house, which is up for sale, is where the American director managed productions for films such as The Shining, Barry Lyndon, A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space said she "did not know how famous he was until I went to film school". "I don't think I appreciated the history of this house enough until I started looking into things like media and I heard a lot about Stanley Kubrick," she said visitors to the home either "love or hate the property".She used to choreograph plays at school and in 10 years' time she said she would love to be an artistic director and follow in the footsteps of the film teacher at college said she would "love to come round and see it" when she revealed whose former home she lived in. Molly's mother Victoria said she had lived in the house for more than 40 years and when they first moved into the property "it was very creepy".She said there was a storm and the "wind whistled through the house" and floorboards creeped, and it felt like being in The time though, she said it became "a lovely family home".She said fans of Kubrick, "mainly Americans", have come to the house every few months and "it amazes me - the fans he still has".These visitors are allowed to walk around the outside and see the former garage where Kubrick edited films, Victoria said. Local Savills director Steven Spencer said a lot of Kubrick's "great work was done here and that is what makes this a piece of cinematic history".He said "we believe people have come from around the world just to see the shelves [in the workshop]" which featured in A Clockwork sitting room was used as "his cinema room where he watched his films probably for many hours until he was happy" he added. The nine-bedroom property, which has a blue plaque dedicated to Kubrick outside, is listed for sale with Savills for a guide price of £6,950, lived at the house between 1965 and 1979, before moving to Childwickbury Estate, near St Albans, where he stayed until his death in 1999.

EastEnders' Bradley Branning star unrecognisable with different job 15 years on
Charlie Clements, who played Bradley Branning in EastEnders has undergone a dramatic transformation since departing the soap, and has now switched his career entirely Charlie Clements has undergone a remarkable transformation, now sporting glasses and a beard, a stark contrast to his on-screen EastEnders persona. The actor who brought Bradley Branning to life started on the BBC One soap in 2006 before leaving in February 2010. Charlie 's dramatic exit from EastEnders took place in its first-ever live episode, marking the show's 25th anniversary, where his character fell to his death from the Queen Vic's roof while being chased by the police. Bradley had pledged to protect his wife Stacey after she murdered her rapist Archie Mitchell, and the couple had devised a plan to flee together. However, their getaway plan went disastrously wrong when Bradley attempted to scale The Vic to dodge the police. His hasty escape attempt ended in tragedy, leaving his wife a widow and sending shockwaves through Walford. The groundbreaking episode captivated nearly 20 million viewers. Over a decade after his EastEnders days, Charlie decided to step away from acting, admitting that, like everyone else, he needs to "pay his bills". In May 2024, he announced to his Instagram followers: "Aware that some may be less interested in my golf related activities! But for those who are go follow me at @charlieclementsgolf." His dedicated golf page showcases his new life as a greenkeeper, featuring photos of him honing his golf swing. In a recent post, the ex-soap star revealed: "In my career as an actor I've had some incredible opportunities and moments.. "But since starting out as a Greenkeeper a year ago, this is up there with the best of them... Touching the hallowed turf of Centre!" Known as the unsung heroes of the golfing world, greenkeepers play a vital role in preserving the game's manicured greens and fairways, overseeing tasks from smoothing out sand traps to grooming the plants that border the course. Charlie was recognised for his work during his time on EastEnders, scooping the Most Popular Newcomer award at the 2006 National Television Awards. Following his dramatic departure from EastEnders, Charlie continued to make his mark in the entertainment industry. He played Jake O'Reilly in Casualty and in 2017, he appeared in the documentary Elizabeth and Her Enemies, portraying the Earl of Essex. Off-screen, Charlie married his long-term girlfriend, Rebecca Clatworthy, in 2018 and the pair have three children. In addition to his acting prowess, Charlie has a keen eye for photography, frequently sharing photos of landscapes and nature on his Instagram page. However, like many during the pandemic, Charlie faced the need to adapt. During the lockdowns, he temporarily put his acting career on hold to support his family. He worked in a restaurant during the initial lockdown and later at a garden centre during the second. Speaking candidly on Loose Women, the actor explained: "Acting is my first love and career choice, but at the end of the day, I'm a jobbing actor. I've got bills to pay and a family to support like everyone else." Back in February, Charlie reflected on his EastEnders success on Instagram, writing: "Reminded today that 'I died' 15 years ago today which makes that little thing even older.!!! As EE turns 40 I remind myself how fortunate I was to work on such an institution at such a young age and will be forever thankful to those to who made it possible." He concluded: "Happy birthday EE, I am immensely proud to have been a small part of you."
