Woman transforms £310,000 Victorian house into leopard print obsessed pad - and Instagrammers love it
Some homeowners tend to follow the latest trends when it comes to renovating their home whereas for others, their décor is a reflection of their personality. For those who choose to inject their own identity into their home, every little detail is well thought out from the colour schemes right down to the furniture and accessory choices.
Describing the pair as 'serial movers' Lois told the Manchester Evening News: "We've moved a lot of times, we've owned six houses since we bought our first one and in between those we've rented as well. "A friend of ours just so happened to mention that they wanted to get their house valued with the view to sell it. So our of curiosity I just asked them if I could have a look around, and here we are now."
"I hadn’t seen the entirety of the house until we viewed it property but it had a lot of curb appeal, and we fell in love with it even more once we had looked around properly. "It wasn't really decorated to my taste necessarily, but obviously we have all got different tastes. They had kept the period features so it was a perfect blank canvas and we could see straight away what we wanted to do to it."Explaining her bold décor choices, Lois said: "With every house we've lived in in the past, we've never properly gone for it in terms of designing it exactly how we like.
Speaking about her love for leopard print in particular, Lois explained: "One of the things people always say about my home is ‘this is so you’, and I take that as a compliment. “Nick is really good with the practical design aspects. He can look at a space and plan exactly how it's going to work, whereas I'm just a bit more 'this is how I want it to look’. We’re quite a good partnership in that respect, we always run ideas past each other and do it collaboratively," Lois said.
"We've done all the rest of the hard graft and painting, tiling and wallpaper ourselves. The hardest jobs were putting the new floors down, my husband tiled the entire hallway himself which was a big job. Speaking of her success and feedback on Instagram, Lois said: "Two years ago I would have never thought I'd be doing this for my full-time job, if someone told me that I would have probably laughed.
"Most people are so nice even if it's not to their taste they can still appreciate the practical aspects of the designs." "If you come past that there's the middle room which is a dining room and then the kitchen is at the back with bifold doors that lead out to a small yard."
