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.
THE JAPANDI LOOK

Japandi is a modern interior design style which blends Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian functionality.
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.

Family of Race Across The World's Sam Gardiner ‘overwhelmed' by support
The family of Race Across The World contestant Sam Gardiner have issued a message of thanks for the love and support following their son's death and also thanked people for donations to a fundraising campaign set up in his memory. The 24-year-old, who competed in the BBC One series alongside his mother Jo, died following a car crash last month. A JustGiving page launched in his memory by his family, in aid of National FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder), has so far raised more than £10,000. His mother said: 'We have been overwhelmed by the tens of thousands of messages of love and support on social media and in comments to press reporting. 'We would like to thank the BBC, Studio Lambert and everyone at Race Across The World production, fellow contestants and fans of the show for all their support at this terrible time. It has been very comforting to know that Sam touched so many people. 'I have been particularly moved by all the messages that Sam was an inspiration to many who have been impacted by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. 'We adopted Sam and he was diagnosed with FASD. As viewers of season two will recall, this was a big challenge both for Sam and for us as his parents. 'National FASD helped us on that journey. If some good comes of this tragedy, it will be that FASD is better understood.' Mr Gardiner was driving a white Volkswagen Golf R estate when it came off the road and rolled before landing on its side. The accident happened on the A34 in Gatley, near Cheadle, on Monday May 26 and he died on May 29 from his injuries, his family said last week. Broadcast in March 2020, Sam and Jo ventured across Mexico and Argentina as part of the second series of the BBC show. Mr Gardiner's father Andrew said: 'When the news broke last week, friends asked how they could help. 'After some thought, I decided to set up a JustGiving page to raise money for National FASD in memory of Sam. The page is called Sam Gardiner; Super Human. 'I set the target at £500 thinking a few friends might be generous enough to make a donation. So far it's raised 20 times that. It's very humbling to see the RATW family rally to this worthy cause.' The National Organisation for FASD says on its official website that it 'provides support to people with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, their families and communities, campaigns to raise public awareness, and promotes relevant policies and practices'. The website also describes FASD as resulting 'when prenatal alcohol exposure affects the developing brain and body.. It says: 'FASD is a spectrum. Each person with FASD is affected differently. 'While more than 400 conditions can co-occur, FASD is at its core a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition. All people with FASD have many strengths. Early diagnosis and appropriate support are essential, especially for executive functioning.' A message on the official National FASD Instagram account said: 'Sam lived his life full of love, exuberance and adventure as seen on BBC's Race Across the World. 'National FASD is both humbled and honoured to help carry on his legacy via donations coming from hundreds.' A private funeral will be held later this month.

Isle of Wight Festival headliners about 'gut feeling'
A leading music festival promoter said "gut feeling" was more important than social media likes when booking headline Giddings, who represents artists ranging from Blondie to Phil Collins, has run the Isle of Wight Festival since it restarted in said performers needed to be able to "deliver" to a crowd and get people in the audience to look away from their phone 72-year-old said he had "learned the hard way" that some people "might have sold a lot of records but they're useless when it comes to performing". "When you look back on who we've had - Blur, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, the [Rolling] Stones - they're all capable of delivering, even if it's pouring with rain," he said."I do know artists who've had a million views on TikTok who can't sell 300 tickets at a club in London."Just because all these people want to watch them on socials doesn't mean they're going to pay money to go and see them in a field." Mr Giddings said he remembered the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970, which saw 600,000 hippies descend on the island, leading to the event being outlawed for 32 year, Jimi Hendrix, the Who and Joni Mitchell were among the artists who performed on the island."I remember walking over the hill, it was like going to the Battle of the Somme, and you could smell them before you saw them," he year's festival, from 19 to 22 June at Seaclose Park in Newport, will be headlined by Sting, Stereophonics and Justin Timberlake. After 23 years of organising the event, Mr Giddings said: "I absolutely love it, which is my downfall because I work all the time, I never think I've actually had a job."There's nothing better than sitting in an office in Fulham in November, it's wet and windy outside and you're imagining putting an act on in a field on the Isle of Wight in June, and then you see it nine months later and people are going wild to it."It's the most satisfying thing ever to provide entertainment for people."

Nepo baby with Hollywood A-list parents lands huge movie role – can you guess who she is?
A nepo baby with Hollywood A-list parents stunned on the red carpet this week - but can you guess who she is ? The star is following in the footsteps of her famous actress mother and is set to have a huge role in an upcoming Hollywood film. 5 5 Nico Parker wowed on the red carpet at the Train Your Dragon Immersive Experience screening at Frameless in London, this week. The 20-year-old showed up and showed out in an elegant cream and pink dress with sheer laced sleeves and back which draped to the floor. The British actress paired the look with some pointed nude heels and some simple jewellery. If you haven't already guessed Nico is the daughter to none other than actress Thandiwe Newton and famous director Ol Parker. Thandie and Ol also share 24-year-old Ripley and their youngest son Booker. Nico shot to stardom at just 14-years-old with her Hollywood debut of the remake of Disney's classic live-action Dumbo. She has gone on to have notable roles in HBO's hit series The Last Of Us and Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy. Now, the actress is set to star in her biggest role to date as Astrid in the upcoming live-action remake of the 2010 film How To Train Your Dragon. The film is set to release in the UK on June 9. The story will follow Hiccup played by standout actor Mason Thames on his journey bonding with a dragon, Gerard Butler will also be starring in the film as his father Stoick. This week, while promoting the film, Nico opened up about her famous mum and dad, on ITV's Lorraine, and revealed how "supportive" they were about her career. "My parents, the really lovely thing about both of them is that their advice is predominantly about, you know, how to be a good person, rather than, you know, how to behave on a film set," she said. "And I think that what's lovely about that is that the two kind of bleed into one another, because I think it's much more important to be a nice and normal person and be kind to others, rather than, you know, know what angle best suits you. "So, the advice that I get from them feels very, very much more so about life and things like that. 5 "And the wonderful thing about that is that you can then take it on to work and wherever you go." Back in 2018, Thandiwe appeared on UK daytime show This Morning and spoke about how she manages her daughter entering the acting world. She said: 'Having a mother and father in the industry… she's been on endless sets. It's not that she takes it for granted, but it's not a world that she feels she's not entitled to be in. '(Plus) she has her mum right there like a lioness checking that everything is looked after. You can't stop the industry operating the way it has unless the truth comes out. 'I feel this great relief, excitement for the women coming into this industry now,' she added. 5
