Television presenter Stacey Solomon has spectacularly decorated her £1.2 million Essex property, known as Pickle Cottage, for the festive season, sharing the lavish results with her 6.1 million Instagram followers.
A Trio of Themed Trees
The mother-of-five has pulled out all the stops, showcasing not one but three distinct Christmas trees. In her lounge, a huge red-themed tree takes centre stage, adorned with giant artificial flowers costing £70, complemented by red ribbons, roses, and berries.
In the same room, Solomon has added a unique £80 red paper Christmas tree perched on her bookshelves, complete with a matching garland and bow. For her second full-sized tree, she opted for an elegant white theme, reusing the same style of £70 artificial flowers and adding glittering lights and pine cones.
An Investment in Festive Cheer
Stacey openly admitted that the artificial flowers were 'expensive' but defended them as an 'investment'. She told her followers, 'I will share the link to the flowers but don't judge the price. I think they will be a good investment and I wanted something next day delivery with 0 effort from me.'
Beyond the trees, the Sort Your Life Out star has created a festive corner featuring a giant reindeer, which has become a favourite of her two-year-old daughter, Rose. She has also draped a pretty garland over the fireplace and crafted a giant red bow to complete the homely look.
Addressing the Trolls and Family Life
The festive reveal comes after Stacey emotionally called out online trolls who criticised her for posting affiliate links on her Instagram account. In a heartfelt clip, the 36-year-old questioned whether her followers were genuinely upset by the practice, explaining that she earns a smaller commission from affiliate links than from traditional brand advertisements.
Stacey lives in the lavish home with her husband, Joe Swash, and their three children: Rex, six, Rose, four, and Belle. Her two older sons from previous relationships, Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 13, also reside at Pickle Cottage.
The article also touches upon the success of the couple's reality show, 'Stacey & Joe', and reports of a fallout with fellow influencer Mrs Hinch, though Stacey has not publicly commented on the latter.
