White is the theme that runs throughout Roman Kempâs parents Martin and Shirlieâs âdreamâ Victorian mansion, so itâs perhaps unsurprising that they have continued this with their Christmas decorations.
The Wham! star and the Pepsi & Shirlie singer regularly share updates of their three-year renovation and redecorations on their dedicated home Instagram account @maisonnumber9, but they took a break from DIY to show off their frosty, festive living room.
Draped across the fireplace was a garland of fir branches, eucalyptus and acorns, all topped with a light dusting of fake snow. A silver tree decoration and green bells tied in with the colour scheme, which perfectly complemented the pastel blue and silver leaf-print wallpaper.
The couple purchased the âoldâ and ârun downâ home in 2021 and immediately got to work transforming it into a personalised haven for themselves and their grown-up kids Roman and Harleymoon.

Nowhere was proof of that more than the dining room, where she has switched up the interior three times already.
