TV personality and singer Stacey Solomon is the nation’s most influential interior design guru, a survey has found.

The 35-year-old is married to former Eastenders star Joe Swash, and lives at Pickle Cottage in Essex.

The couple are starring in their own reality TV show called Stacey and Joe on BBC One and viewers have become enchanted by her warm, family friendly style and DIY approach.

Wren Kitchens decided to poll the nation to find out which celebrity interior Brits aspire to replicate the most and the former X-Factor contestant took the number one spot.

Stacey was hotly followed by Molly Mae, whose modern ‘greige’ aesthetic is reflected in everything from Instagram feeds to the Pantone Colour of the Year, Mocha Mousse. 

Research by the kitchen and bedrooms brand has found that such is the influence of Molly Mae’s ‘greige’ aesthetic that Google Searches around her home have spiked by 200 per cent in the weeks following the release of her new documentary.

To help Brits achieve the ‘Molly’ look, Wren has pulled together some top tips – and has polled the nation as to the other celebrities and colourways the nation is most obsessed with, which range from Stacey Solomon to Victoria Beckham, and from cherry red to stark white.

TV cook and author Nigella Lawson came third with her renowned cosy and character-filled kitchen space, with David and Victoria Beckham’s kitchen noted for its “classic elegance” and the Prince and Princess of Wales finishing in fifth with an “understated yet regal” design.

The research found Brits favour practical luxury with ‘features that enhance storage, organisation and convenience’ ranking highly among homeowners' must-haves.

The home features millions of Brits dream of incorporating into their own living spaces are designs that ‘maximise storage, functionality and modern convenience’.

To help Brits achieve the Stacey, Molly or Nigella look, kitchen experts at Wren have shared their top tips and nail their dream kitchen aesthetic without compromising on price or quality.
