Ryan Thomas has unveiled a stunning transformation of the gorgeous home he shares with his fiance former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh and their two children Roman, three, and Lilah, one.
The Dancing on Ice star, 39, lives in a stunning Manchester pad having moved up north from Essex in September 2023. The couple, who met on Bear Grylls' Celebrity Island in 2017, renovated their forever home over two years before moving in and adding the finishing touches.

Speaking about his desired outcome for his new bedroom flooring, Ryan said: "When you wake up in the morning barefoot, you want to feel like you’re stepping onto a cloud. It’s very hard to find something hard-wearing that’s also going to feel nice under your feet."

Ryan opted for a jute staircase runner with black trim. "Our staircase is the first thing you see when you walk into the house, and that is a showpiece," the former Celebrity Big Brother star said. "Our staircase goes right to the top of the attic, and what I love about it most is when you go to the top of the stairs and look all the way down, all you see is the bannisters and the beautiful stair runners."

The star has opted for a cream carpet upstairs which has a subtle chevron print woven in for texture and durability. You know that a thick carpet with some kind of pattern to it will better conceal small stains.

Ryan's plush cream carpet perfectly compliments the neutral bedroom decor. We love the rattan headboard with black wood accents that are bold against the stone-coloured nightstand and cream bedding.

Little Lilah's room is so adorable with cream carpet that doesn't distract from the lovely sage green and white floral wallpaper. We love the added storage solution of the seating by the window with the borg layer for comfort and the throw pillows make the room feel so homely.

Elsewhere in Lila's room is a set of stunning cabinetry in a muted grey shade. It features full-length wardrobes with bronze hardware as well as shelving for decorative items like books and soft toys.
