Rug Beautiful

Got a bit of a crush on Elle Macpherson?

We understand; she always looks so damn good. And now we can have a sneak peak into her London home as estate agents have leaked photos to the press. This is the kind of thing that gets the mydeco team very excited.

Ok so nitty gritty first - her seven storey house is Victorian in style, was built in the 1850s, boasts six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a 36ft long kitchen which leads onto a large dining room (perfect for those dinner parties). Having bought the house in November 2006 (woops, that'll be the peak of the housing market), she is now trying to flog it but like so many homeowners, is struggling to shift it.

Last summer, she popped it on the market for £9.5million but after failing to receive any decent offers, the mother-of-two dropped the price to £8.95million in January. As if that wasn't enough of a kick in the teeth, she has just slashed it to £7.5million - a whopping 21% reduction on the original price.

MacPherson, the epitome of glamour herself, has spent tens of thousands of pounds restoring several of the grade two property's original features and redesigning to her own style. From the pictures, we've gathered that Elle opts for a classy and expensive approach to interior design. Staying away from an overly eccentric colour scheme, the model sticks to pure whites accompanied with earthy colours. This really is impeccable, understated luxury.

The pice de resistance in her beautiful home is the ultra modern kitchen which boasts stainless steel accessories and bang-on-trend lacquered surfaces. You could match Elle's style with a sleek silver fridge available at B&Q, but if your budget does not extend to a complete kitchen revamp add a touch of shine with Heal's white lacquered vase.

We also love the bricked tiling in the bathroom that dons connotations of the London underground, (without the grubbiness) and works beautifully against the simplicity of the pure white bath. See our blog for a picture of Elle's bathroom and steal her style with Wallpaper Direct's convincing brick wallpaper and a free standing bath from the Big Bathroom Shop.

It is in the living room that Macpherson experiments the most. The bold red carpet really warms up the place and compliments the abstract art on the wall. The jury is still out as to what we think of the leopard print arm chair? But after all the controlled luxury elsewhere, we commend Elle for embracing her wild side! Recreate the look with a Tuareg red Rug at Heal's and be daring with a decadent Leopard print armchair at Jimmie Martin.
