Olivia Bowen has given fans a glimpse of how she wants her dream nursery to look in her £1 million home.
The Love Island star shared the happy news she was pregnant with her first child on New Year’s Day.
Since then her and husband Alex Bowen, who she met on the ITV dating show in 2016, have been busy getting ready for their new arrival.
Estate agent Olivia revealed she is turning a guest room at their sprawling Essex pad into a luxury nursery.
And as they are not finding out the sex of the baby before it is born in June, she wants the space to be ‘gender neutral’.

Instead of the traditional pinks and blues, Olivia is opting for creams and whites, which she says is “so calming, tranquil and gender neutral”.
Sharing an inspiration photo of how she wants the finished nursery to look, the 28-year-old said: ‘We’ve decided to choose the green room with the big central arch window for the nursery.
“I can’t wait to transform it... obviously the baby won’t be staying in here for a while, but I am of course crazy organised and excited to design it so just have to get it ready.”
She added one thing she is excited about is having her own wallpaper designed for the main wall with giraffes and elephants on.
Another snap she shared with her 766,000 followers on her ‘Bowen Home’ account shows a mock-up of the room, designed by The Modern Nursery.
Olivia captioned the post: “Safari Nursery Dream. When your vision comes to life at the handy work of @themodernnursery.
“I think I’m most excited to see the ceiling sky... the room looks like it’s going to feel exactly how I imagined, playful but still tranquil and calm.
“This has been such a fun project for me. I reckon it’ll fly to the top of the list of favourite rooms when it’s done! It’s just too adorable I can’t cope!”
Since Olivia and Alex moved into their luxury Essex home in 2020, they have regularly shared updates of their renovations.
Completely transforming it to make it their own, they have added a home gym, cinema room and dog shower for their beloved pet pooches.
There is also a hot tub and outside bar and BBQ area, including an all-important wine fridge. The sprawling garden even has its own mini-lake.
Other stand out features of the house include the sweeping black and white staircase with 5ft sparkly chandelier at the top, which Olivia says gives her a “warm fuzzy feeling”.
The gorgeous bathroom has a freestanding white bath for a “little slice of spa life at home”.
While the huge master bedroom leads out on to its own private balcony overlooking the garden. There is even a floral installation around the window.
Her “kitchen of dreams” is another neutrally decorated room with island and chic bar stools.
Olivia said: “Our favourite thing we had was the boiling hot water tap! It’s a game changer for tea in the mornings.”
