Privacy NoticeWith Christmas just over a month away, celebrities have been busy transforming their lavish pads into festive paradises worthy of housing Santa Claus himself. From Rochelle Humes’ gigantic Christmas tree to Kerry Katona’s silver and white themed decor, it seems as though familiar faces have been preparing for the festivities earlier than ever – a move that has left fans divided about when is too early to let the countdown to Christmas begin. And now former Love Island stars Olivia and Alex Bowen have given their own home a stunning makeover, and have eagerly shared the results of the transformation on Instagram.

After moving into their sprawling Essex mansion back in 2019, the pair have been busy putting their own stamp on the property – especially when it comes to Christmas. As their first Christmas as a family of three after welcoming baby Abel into the world back in June, 28 year old Olivia and 31 year old Alex have pulled out all of the stops to make it a year to remember. Decorating their huge hallway and staircase, the doting parents have opted for a glamorous green and gold theme this year, covering the space with a variety of garlands, bows and warm fairy lights.

In a series of snaps posted to their Instagram account The Bowen Home, Olivia revealed that they’d covered the handrails of their staircase with an elaborate garland made up of foliage, gold leaves and spray painted pinecones. Trailing all the way to the top of the £1 million property, the green garland also features a series of forest green velvet bows, matching baubles as well as a string of warm toned fairy lights, giving the space a cosy feel. Elsewhere, the couple have decorated the space with a large Christmas tree which is decorated with a similar theme and can be seen covered in gold and green baubles, with gold branches mixed between the green foliage. Sharing the snaps online, she wrote: “Hello Christmas 2022 [emojis] I can’t believe this is our third Christmas in this house. Things just go so quickly. The time is flying past it’s crazy!”.

They added that they’d got the help of Christmas design company Decor Inc to help them with the decorations, and were even planning to add another Christmas tree in the kitchen next month. “I am feeling SO Christmassy – how elegant & traditional does this look! Green & gold together is just giving me all the feels,” she continued. “I know it seems so early to some but I just want to make the most of it every year it’s so beautiful! Will show you the outside next”. After getting into the Christmas spirit, fans of Alex and Olivia took to the comments section to gush over the festive decor, with many tagging their friends in awe of the design.

“How nice are these colours [heart eye emoji],” wrote one Instagram user. “One day our houses will look like this [emojis],” added another. The couple’s stunning home transformation comes after mum of one Olivia slammed “pathetic individuals” who criticised her decision to return to work following the tragic death of her close friend Joe Richards. After Alex announced their tragic loss on Instagram with a heartwarming tribute, Olivia was met with criticism by some online trolls who questioned her decision to keep herself busy by returning to work.
