'It looks like Christmas has been sick all over my 70s house - it's not to my family's taste but I love it'
Every homeowner has their own taste and style when it comes to their home interior. Some people opt for the more traditional look with timeless pieces that they can treasure for years to come, whereas others prefer much more modern decor and like to keep up with the latest trends.
Estelle, who is from East Anglia and moved to Manchester seven years ago, told the Manchester Evening News how her retro collection began: “I’ve always collected things ever since about 1990. I started buying vintage bits and bobs when I was in my teens and then it just went from there. The mum-of-one said: "It was like a bachelor pad before I moved in. My partner has always been into retro stuff and 70s music, but I don't think he had much time for interior design.
"The first room we did was the living room. We bought some amazing orange curtains from Germany, we painted the room orange and then it spiralled from there," Estelle explained. "Everything is second hand. The only things that aren't are our mattresses because no one wants to sleep on a 50-year-old used mattress," Estelle said.
As a huge fan of Christmas, Estelle completely transforms her home into a festive 70s paradise - and begins her preparations a year in advance. Estelle has one decoration which stems right back to the 1890s - and another with a sentimental meaning. "My favourite decoration is the Pipsie. When I was little my dad brought home a box of junk from an auction and there was one at the bottom which was a little felt decoration from Japan.
"It’s a maximalist Christmas in my house, it looks like Christmas has vomited on the house. It’s a sight to behold and I love it," she said. Estelle set up her Instagram account @70shousemanchester three years ago whilst renovating her home, and it has now amassed more than 100,000 followers.
