Beige doesn't have to be boring if you take on a few of Nick's kitchen ideas. For example, dressing up neutral kitchen units with the right accessories – a case in point is this bold lime polka dot table cover!

Nothing says cooking classic quite like a wooden chopping board, and it looks like Nick is pulling out all the cheffy stops for this 'perk-me-up-soup'. A comforting slice of cheese on toast is about all we can manage when we're feeling less than our best.

A freestanding ceramic tub, metro tiles and a cast iron and chrome mix towel rail – are there any bathroom trends that haven't been ticked in this space? No wonder Nick loves spending his downtime in this stylish and soothing environ.

From flowers to fruit and veg, it's all here and it all looks absolutely stunning. The perfect retreat to escape to after a hard day's work.

This paisley print rug dresses up wooden flooring a treat, and we're big fans of the muted pastel shades. It's another thumbs up for the striking shade of magenta inside that guitar case.
