Gemma Collins was busy upgrading all aspects of her life last year – namely her fitness regime and home.
The 40-year-old TOWIE star now owns a pad fit for a Queen after she’d moved into a swanky Essex home worth a staggering £1.35 million last year.
Inside the GC’s spacious barn conversion, she has used subtle colours and natural light from the large floor to ceiling windows to really open up every aspect.
Outside, Gemma has an abundance of space with the plot situated on an acre of land.
At the time of purchasing her “dream” home, Gemma said: “I knew it was the house for me, because when I rode up to the house on my bike, there was this tree.
“It was a rather big tree and I felt like the tree was talking to me. It was, like, whispering to me.”
Living room
The best room in her home by far is the huge open-plan living room and kitchen area that oozes style and natural light.
Gemma has left her bright pink love chair and silver velour sofa out of the equation when it comes to decorating her new pad, keeping the tone very elegant and neutral.
The large space and furniture is homely yet elegant and boasts soft touches of blue that compliment the rustic grey suites very well.
A huge modern chandelier proves to be the statement piece that divides the bar-style kitchen area and comfy seating area.
Open plan kitchen
The GC’s swanky new kitchen has often made a number of appearances on Instagram – one in which notably featured X Factor’s famous Irish twosome Jedward.
The dining area makes for a fabulous hosting space with a large colourful island stealing all of the focus in the centre of the room.
Giving off a rustic feel – in fitting with the wooden beamed barn conversion – Gemma has purchased two vintage tan stools that provide the added wow factor.

More recently, Gemma took to social media to thank a team of designers for creating her an idyllic bedroom, that is contemporary and modern but cosy too.
In keeping with her grey theme – which seems to evidentially flow throughout her lavish home – the reality queen opted for a Queen-sized bed with a soft padded headboard.
For ultimate comfort, the GC’s glam squad scattered her high-top bed with neatly ‘chopped’ cushions and a padded throw.

Last summer, Gemma invested in her outdoor space and purchased a one of a kind swimming pool for her one acre back garden.
The star treated herself to a bejewelled pool so that she could get to work on her fitness regime.
In a video clip that did the rounds on social media last year, the GC encouraged others to splash the cash in a bid to get fit.
She said: “Right girls, I’ve got weights on my ankles. I’m doing it in the water because there’s a stronger residence.
“But if you’re going for a little power walk, add weights to your ankles. You haven’t got to go mad. You can just get one kilogram weights.
“The residence of the water is whats helping me.”
The blonde concluded: “So go and get yourself a paddling pool girls.”
Huge garden
Gemma’s converted barn sits on one acre of land that includes grass that had been neatly mowed with lines and a grey patio area for summertime entertaining.
Wanting to put her own Essex stamp on the surrounding area, Gemma bought two massive cabana’s and lavish cushioned sun-loungers to create the ultimate paradisal setting.
