Coxy's in the house! Take a look inside Sara Cox's fun family home
The Love in the Countryside host's two dogs are on hand to help show it off, too
We've long had a girl crush on Love in the Countryside host Sara Cox. We've followed the down-to-earth Bolton lass from her stint on Radio 1's prestigious Breakfast Show to her 'potty' hosting of The Great Pottery Throw Down, her cheeky ways never failing to raise a smile.

And wouldn't you know it, her home has got just has much charm. She once described it as 'Complete chaos, But I love it!' to the Huffington Post. It doesn't look that disorganised to us, Sara!

Most of the shots – including this one of a grey corner sofa – feature Sara's pooches Dolly and Beano. Loving the mismatched bird-print cushions.

When you're up early to present your radio show, a good mattress is vital – Sara's is from Casper. And we admire her use of a bold floral wallpaper. The deep-blue backdrop means it feels contemporary, rather than chinzy.

Sara's kitchen is definitely made for entertaining. And those handleless slab doors are smart as well as practical, especially with three small children running about the place.

Style wise, Sara likes to keep her backdrops mainly neutral, with a statement piece here and there. This green armchair is a perfect example. We're sure the dogs appreciate the Hygge-influenced throw for snuggling.

She also adds colour to the walls with modern art. As well as this Pure Evil limited-edition print, Sara has a dramatic original by Todd James.

Like most of us, Sara likes to fill her home with flowers. These dahlias and peonies are real beauties.
