TV presenter and BBC Radio 2 host Rylan Clark lives in Essex.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU DO THE SECOND YOU WALK THROUGH YOUR FRONT DOOR?
Kick off my shoes, put the kettle on, put my feet up on the sofa and watch the telly!
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE TIME OF THE DAY AT HOME?
I'm often out and about during the day so it's in the evening when I get home. I love to light a candle with a really nice scent relaxation vibes all the way.
WHERE'S YOUR HAPPY PLACE AT HOME?
At the end of a long day working, I love nothing more than curling up on the sofa and chilling out. I have a Joules Ashwicke sofa from DFS that has a soft velvet fabric and deep comfortable seats which makes it the perfect place to relax.
WHAT'S ON YOUR BEDSIDE TABLE?
Ear plugs so I can block out the sound of my unwanted house/ garden guest, Patrice the pheasant!
WHAT'S YOUR HOME ADDICTION?
I love creating a cosy atmosphere, so scented candles are a must for me. Weird and wonderful items are also my thing, like my regal portrait and mermaid tail.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE SHOP TO BUY HOMEWARE FROM?
I'm all about embracing my personality and finding unique items that reflect my style and DFS have made it so easy as they had so many options that fit my unique style choices, from sofas to rugs. I lived in Ibiza for a while and I travel a lot, so I also like picking up unique pieces from my travels.
