How to get the Molly-Mae decor look on a budget & the clever way to make your bedroom feel like ‘relaxing on a cloud'
MOLLY-MAE is widely regarded as the queen of clean girl aesthetics and minimalist luxury. So if you're looking to give your home a refresh, her interiors provides the perfect inspiration. 4 4 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." Molly-Mae cruelly mocks sister for having 'cheap' furniture after she moves in amid feud fears 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". 4 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 4 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.

Sofia Richie loves these classic comfy Reebok sneakers - and they're surprisingly affordable
Calling all who are 'clean girl aesthetic' obsessed! I just found where to get minimalist queen Sofia Richie's favorite Reebok sneaks for just $75. Anyone who is anyone knows about Sofia Richie's quietly luxurious taste in clothing, home decor, makeup, and beyond. From her favorite Chanel lipstick to her Lyma Laser — Lionel Richie's daughter has a taste for the finer things, but surprisingly, many of her go-to's don't break the bank! The model turned mother has become a TikTok sensation for her undeniably chic and effortless 'vibe' and her classic lilac Reebok sneakers are just the latest item on a long list of Sofia Richie must-haves. But the best part is, right now they are only $75 on Amazon. Though Sofia Richie's coveted wedding gown may have been custom Chanel, her choice in everyday footwear seems to be a bit more practical. The trendsetter has been spotted recently in several different pairs of Reebok sneakers but it was this spring-inspired lilac Classic AZ ones that caught our eye. The pastel purple kicks come in one of the brand's most classic cuts and Amazon shoppers keep calling them, 'extremely comfortable.' Inspired by retro running shoes, the Classic AZ Reebok's come in several colors and all have a mixed suede and nylon exterior. Richie opted for the pretty lilac pair and has been seen pairing them with some of her subtle yet luxurious everyday outfits. At first, it seemed odd that a fashion wave maker like Richie would choose such an affordable and basic pair of sneakers, but after learning more about the best-selling tennis shoes, her reasoning became clear — they are downright comfy! Each shoe is designed with a foam footbed, EVA midsole, and a padded tongue to maximize comfort levels all day long. Whether Richie is walking her daughter in her stroller or running errands, the Classic AZ's have her back (and look good while doing it!). I got my hands on a pair of the 'clean girl' sneakers for ourselves to see if they lived up to both the 5-star ratings and Sofia Richie's seal of approval. After wearing them for just one day, the shock was undeniable — these were hands down one of the comfiest pairs of sneakers we have ever owned. I wore them around NYC for days, and not only were they head-turningly cute, but they stood up to the challenge with extremely plush insoles. Plus, the endless compliments of 'where did you get those?! ' didn't hurt either! I paired my the 'clean girl' sneaks with a variety of outfits and found them to be a seamless wardrobe immersion from sporty skorts to dressed down jean combos. The most talked about aspect of the sneakers however while parading through the streets of New York was by far the color! I got stopped multiple times with compliments of, 'I love the color.' What surprised me the most was how well my feet held up in the lilac Reebok Classic AZs after tackling the 1.45-mile Highline walk and hours of shopping at the famous Chelsea Market on the same day. As a girl who suffers from rather consistent blisters (and borderline bunions!) having sneakers that can protect my toes without compromising my style is EVERYTHING. Though I typically don't go for this 'style' sneaker the lilac drew me in — and the durable Reebok design kept me. When having to recommend a sneaker to a friend or family member, I would definitely put the Classic AZs at the top of my list, and my reasoning is simple — they're the perfect universal shoe. Seriously! Whether you are headed to brunch (like me!) or looking to hit the gym, these sneakers are durable, breathable, and, without a doubt, look cool. Richie is known for loving cult-favorite basics (like her trusty Aquaphor!) and we think it is safe to say that these Reebok sneakers have officially been added to her 'clean girl' approved wardrobe. Whether you are in need of a new running shoe or something for everyday wear — we promise that the Classic AZ's are not going to disappoint.
