Not only has there seemingly been a baby boom during the lockdown period, but also a home improvement boom – especially where your favourite celebrities are concerned.
The stars of this world aren’t just setting out to purchase any old home either, instead they are looking at scooping up their dream houses – even if they’re in need of a bit of TLC.
In some cases, renovations have been so grand that humungous extensions and loft conversions have been carved out in a bid to create an ideal space or a home fit for a queen.
Here, the Daily Star uncovers some of the best celebrity house makeovers and Instagram accounts to get your decorating inspiration flowing.

Katie Price is hoping to kick start major renovations transforming her home, which was nicknamed “Mucky Mansion”, into an idyllic “Plucky Mansion”, as her new Instagram page suggests.
Although, it was recently revealed that the former glamour model is hoping to snap up a TV deal that will showcase her home being transformed from start to finish.
According to reports the mum-of-five is already in talks about getting her idea off the ground.
An insider told The Sun: “She’d be doing it all, showing fans how they can transform their home for not much money, but with Katie’s clever hints and tips.
“Everyone knows she’s hilarious on camera, so everyone’s sure a TV channel would jump at the chance to stump up the cash and get behind the project.”

Love Island’s Georgia Steel recently took to Instagram to showcase the new property she had snapped up along with two huge diggers, that were already at work.
The reality star took on an enormous project after she decided not to revamp her home but to instead build one completely from scratch.
Her lavish palace is set to have multiple bedrooms and a grand sized garage.
Sharing her plans, she penned: “Can’t believe my dream home is actually happening. Words can’t explain how excited/grateful I am for this next step in my life.
“I’m just so overwhelmed. As if this is me doing this… Little George wouldn’t believe it.”

Vicky Pattison and boyfriend Ercan Ramadan have together snapped up their “dream home” which is believed to have set the two love birds back £1.5million.
The former Geordie Shore star confirmed at the beginning of April that she was saying goodbye to her luxury flat in exchange for a rather swanky house.
Although the house is complete, with state of the art mod cons, five bedrooms and three huge bathrooms, Vicky and Ercan still plan to transform their living space.
Having created a new Instagram account @oaks_house to show off their exciting new purchase, Vicky explained that they were hoping to start with switching up their kitchen as soon as possible – asking fans for their decorating advice.

Loose Women star Stacey Solomon and her TV beau Joe Swash also jumped on the house buying bandwagon, announcing that they had made a swift purchase over Easter.
The pair have sweetly named their £1.2m Essex home, which is complete with a huge outside pool, as Pickle Cottage.
They have wasted no time at all with transforming their brand new Victorian style home.
First the pair got to work on making over the pool, having it decked out with new tiles that were freshly laid by an expert.
DIY lover Stacey even got her hands dirty as she completely revamped the downstairs bathroom, giving it a modern and on-trend feel.

The Love Island couple, who met on the ITV show and defied all odds and actually tied the knot, have both started up a new adventure together.
Olivia and Alex have completely re-modelled their home giving it a chic and elegant feel throughout.
Their huge home boasts a landing area fit for a king and queen, with white pillars framing the stairwell along with an enormous chandelier as a focal feature.

Fitness star Lucy Mecklenburgh and actor Ryan Thomas have recently snapped up a property in Manchester with a grand sized garden to add to their property portfolio.
Lucy had no idea about the home in Manchester, as Ryan had kept it a secret from his wife, however she was elated with the purchase.
The former TOWIE star revealed that she and Ryan will be dividing their time between Essex and Cheshire as they begin to overhaul the new house.
She said: “We have my house in Essex and Cheshire we had an apartment not suitable for a family. We have been house hunting for two years! Things always seemed to go wrong but I believe that’s because this was meant to be our home!”
