I'm an interiors expert – four hacks to get the Love Island ‘look' in your home
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) 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. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Stars stay in the iconic Villa in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar Credit: ITV 6 And experts have revealed how you can recreate the Villa look at home Credit: ITV 6 And it won't cost a fortune to make your space look like a real villa bombshell Credit: ITV 6 There are four easy ways you can incorporate the look Credit: ITV 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. Love Island fans spot clue islander is pretending to fancy her partner after awkward recoupling "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." 6 The experts say every Love Island fan should have a fire pit in their home Credit: ITV 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!"

Surprising £1 item helps to remove oil from the surface of your paddling pool – you don't have to do any work
PRISTINE POOL Surprising £1 item helps to remove oil from the surface of your paddling pool – you don't have to do any work Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE temperatures are rising and the Sun is shining which means Brits will be digging out their paddling pools from garden shed and garages. But after washing it and filling it up with water, it can still be unsuitable to play in for kids as oil can collect on the surface. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Padding pools could collect oil on surface from sunscreen and sebum Credit: Getty 2 Tennis balls are the cheap and easy way to absorb oil from the pool surface Credit: Getty However, you don't need to refill your paddling pool every time that happens. In a cost of living crisis, it could cost you a pretty penny if you are on water meter and pay for the water you use. Instead of wasting time, money and precious water, you can use a simple and cheap solution that could fix the problem. The easiest way to get rid of oil is by throwing in a few tennis balls. Their texture will absorb all of the oil that was left from sunscreen, sweat, cosmetics and sebum. The best part is it will only cost you £1 to do so, as tennis balls sell for this bargain price in Poundland. You can even leave some tennis balls in the pool to keep the oil away. A pack of three tennis balls will set you back a mere £1, and they can even be useful if you have dogs or want to pick up a new hobby. If you want to keep using the pool this summer, it's important to keep it clean to avoid refilling it. You can lower costs by buying sterilising fluid or using a filter - which means you don't have to keep filling your pool up. Mum shares the £64.99 paddling pool that won't leave you puffed out blowing it up & it's perfect for the warm weather Sterilising fluid can be picked up for as little as £4.20 for a litre, from Sainsbury's and will help stop the growth of bacteria and algae. Or you could get a filter that you place into your pool - when we checked prices online at Amazon, we found the cheapest ones would cost around £13.00 Another Poundland find will transform your garden furniture for only £2 as it instantly lifts mildew stains. Alternatively, a kitchen ingredient can also be used to scrub up your garden set. Another budget buy is also said to leave your outdoor garden set gleaming in time for summer.
