Claire Allinson
ABOUT ME I’m 25 and I rent a studio flat in a converted Victorian property in Essex.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE SHOP? Gumtree, by far – there’s always a bargain to be had, and some nice quirky and vintage pieces that may be one person’s trash, but become my treasures. It’s a great way to furnish a place on a budget.
Joanne Robinson
ABOUT ME I’m 45 and I own a two-bedroom 1890s labourer’s cottage in Essex.
WHAT’S YOUR BEST HOME STYLE TIP? I like to have dingly-danglies (such as hanging hearts) on display in all my rooms. They make a great addition, don’t cost much, and are pretty and decorative. They’re also easily updated if you want a change.
Kayleigh Wallace
ABOUT ME I’m 29 and I live in a three-bedroom new-build semi in Fife with my husband Krys and our baby girl Amelia-jane, three months.
WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY? I wish I’d looked into the right plants to have in our garden in time for summer this year, as I spent a lot of money on plants that didn’t last. I’m not a natural gardener!
Katie Hibberts
ABOUT ME I’m 36 and I live with my husband Peter, 37, and children, Eleanor, 9, Olivia, 6, and Joseph, 2, plus I’m expecting another baby. Our home is a four-bed manse owned by the church, as Peter is a minister.
NEXT HOME PROJECT? I’d like to make some curtains for the kitchen, but I’ve yet to find fabric to match the tiles we inherited with the house.
Gemma Godfrey
ABOUT ME I’m 28 and I live with my boyfriend Ross, 27, in a 1970s three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cheshire.
WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE ROOM? My lounge/dining room – it has a shabby chic, rustic feel with a lot of soft furnishings and accessories. It’s a brilliant space for relaxing and socialising with friends.
Charlie Pallett
ABOUT ME I’m 21 and I live in my first home with my partner Tom, also 21 and our Pug puppy, Arla.
WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR DECORATING INSPIRATION? I’m really inspired by the past and I love antique and vintage furniture, I get a lot of my ideas from magazines and Pinterest, as well exploring antiques shops and interiors exhibitions.
