What's the point in doing things by half measures?
The owners of this home decided what they liked and went for it.
Now this luxurious £530,000 detached North Shields is on the market with Express Estate Agency and you can see inside.
From the outside, the large family home, in the affluent The Wynd development, looks like a nice but unremarkable house.
But with a step inside, the owners have proved you can put your own stamp on anywhere.
Dressed up like a French palace, this North Tyneside family home is extravagant throughout.
A large living room leads onto a spacious dining room - separated by faux pillars - which the current owners have decked out in regal golds and purples.
Downstairs there is also a very large kitchen, fitted out to the highest spec, a conservatory and a small room off the kitchen big enough for another dining table.

A large hallway sits at the centre of the house and a staircase leads on to four bedrooms upstairs.
The bathroom is the dictionary definition of plush and comes replete with a standalone bath with gold fitiings.
To the rear of the house sits a large garden spread over three levels with both paved and grassy areas.
While the interior might not be everyone's cup of tea, the owners have demonstrated how to put your own twist on an otherwise uniform new build house.
