I'm a property expert - these Made In Chelsea stars have the poshest pads but their decor proves who REALLY comes from old money

From Louise Thompson 's Fulham townhouse to Tiffany Watson 's Richmond home, all of the former Made In Chelsea cast members have settled in enviable properties.

They made a name for themselves by documenting their antics in one of London's poshest postcodes, shooting weekends at stately homes and dinner parties in period mansions.

But now that many of the original stars of Made In Chelsea have put their party days behind them and settled down with families, their surroundings have gone from stately to suburban.

From Louise Thompson's Fulham townhouse to Tiffany Watson's Richmond home, all have settled in enviable properties.

However, according to an interiors expert, their very differing tastes separates the 'old money' from the 'new influencer'.

Liv Conlon, an interiors expert, runs ThePropertyStagers.co.uk - an award-winning staging company, and StagerBoss, which teaches women how to launch their own staging business.

She's analysed the properties belonging to MIC stars including Spencer Matthews, Binky Felstead and Mark Francis Vandelli, to see whose pad is truly the poshest.

While some are channeling traditional upper class style, others have veered into middle class stereotypes, while one rather 'bland' home screams 'Mrs Hinch circa 2019'.

Here Liv gives her verdict on who has the most luxury look and who has been tempted into shopping at Dunelm.

Binky Felstead

Binky is high on the list of poshest pads and her home is filled with glamorous features such as exposed beams 

Having moved into her new pad - and given it an overhaul - just five months ago, it's safe to say Binky knows her way around a Farrow & Ball colour chart

Having moved into her new pad - and given it an overhaul - just five months ago, it's safe to say Binky knows her way around a Farrow & Ball colour chart. 

From the outset, her property is what estate agents would call 'charmingly rural with a contemporary twist'. 

It's Country Living meets Instagram-polish. She's put a modern spin on a very traditional country house - with a 'relocated to the Cotswolds but still shops in Knightsbridge' vibe. 

Clearly Binky is oldish money, and her choice of decor throughout her home reflects that, with unmistakable Soho Farmhouse vibes. 

Step inside and you're greeted by a palette of muted sages, soft neutrals and just enough texture to make beige-on-beige feel intentional rather than sterile. 

It's the kind of place where every corner has been carefully curated, yet still feels inviting enough to kick off your wellies at the door (preferably Hunter, of course). 

Binky's kitchen is the heart of her home and is unapologetically luxurious

The kitchen is the heart of the home and unapologetically luxurious. 

French blue lower cabinets anchor the space, paired with lighter units above and a serious expanse of stone worktops. 

Hand-cut terracotta tiles warm up the floor, while gold hardware and taps add a whisper of glamour. 

And we're not talking just any tap - this one delivers boiling, filtered and sparkling water on demand. 

There's exposed beams, a butler sink, flickering candles - and a six-ring cooker, which looks like it's seen more Ottolenghi than oven chips. 

A basket of fresh eggs sits charmingly on the counter - and you just know not one of them came from Tesco.

Millie Mackintosh

Millie Mackintosh's home isn't trying to be grand, or old money. It's not trying to impress the Tatler crowd

Millie's kitchen is also in a pink tone, named Presence, which gives off wholesome vibes

Millie Mackintosh has always curated her life with care - and her home is no exception. 

It's a masterclass in 'soft luxury,' or what I'd call middle-class zen: a home that's been designed less for living, more for breathing deeply with a herbal tea in hand.

The bathroom sets the tone: a gold standalone bath, a walk-in shower big enough to host a yoga class, light grey cabinetry, and a double sink (because even wellness requires personal space). 

There's a huge gold-rimmed mirror - not too flashy, but definitely a centrepiece; a perfect Instagram backdrop. 

It's more 'affordable luxury' vibes than some of the others, but that is if, indeed, you're in a position to afford luxury.

It is elegant, warm, and well thought out - and that's exactly what makes it work

Millie has clearly curated her home with care, with thoughtful decorations all around

Now, the kitchen. A pale pink tone, named Presence. It's less 'statement kitchen', more 'I own at least one Nutribullet and host wine-and-wholesome-supper nights'. Then, there's the snug, which is blue. 

The ceiling, doors, windowframes, skirting boards, are all the same colour. It's the kind of room you'd curl up in with a book, even if you're really just scrolling Pinterest for more storage solutions. 

The home isn't trying to be grand, or old money. It's not trying to impress the Tatler crowd. 

But it is elegant, warm, and well thought out - and that's exactly what makes it work.

Louise Thompson

Louise Thompson's home is, in many ways, the epitome of aspirational upper-middle-class London living

Liv Conlon says she would dub some of Louise's style choices 'Dunelm adjacent'

Step through the front door and you're greeted with expanses of soft beige, which continue uninterrupted across her beautifully laid herringbone flooring

The home is quiet luxe - with touches that suggest family comes first

It might not scream old money, but Louise's house certainly whispers 'tasteful with a sensible mortgage'

Louise Thompson's home is, in many ways, the epitome of aspirational upper-middle-class London living: curated, considered, and what I'd politely call 'Dunelm-adjacent', with lots of shades of beiges and greys. 

Step through the front door and you're greeted with expanses of soft beige, which continue uninterrupted across her beautifully laid herringbone flooring – a detail Louise is rightly proud of. 

It runs from hallway to kitchen, adding that open, 'flowing' feel that all good renovations aim for. 

Skylights pull natural light into every corner, bouncing off the creamy cabinetry and white-marble-look countertops in the kitchen, which is warmed up with brass pendant lighting and soft gold hardware. 

It's quietly luxe without shouting too loudly. Louise's kitchen isn't sterile or overly styled - it's busy, lived-in, and full of touches that suggest family comes first, like the baby swing casually hung in the living room. 

It might not scream old money, but Louise's house certainly whispers 'tasteful with a sensible mortgage'.

Spencer Matthews 

Vogue Williams's living room shows a definite dial-up in sophistication. Two sculptural curved sofas create a chic, almost hotel-lounge layout

Vogue and Spencer even have a bold pink kitchen - but the colour is soft and dusky

There are arched alcoves painted in serene navy and dressed with curated artwork

Vogue Williams has always known how to make a statement - and her home, shared with her Made In Chelsea star husband Spencer Matthews, is no exception. 

Think glam meets grown-up, with a side of Essex. 

From the moment you step into their bold pink kitchen, it's clear subtlety wasn't invited to this particular party. 

Now, I'm not against a pink kitchen - in fact, Vogue pulls it off with gusto. 

The colour is soft and dusky enough to avoid feeling saccharine, but paired with the zebra-print dining table, there's undeniably a whiff of 'TOWIE goes coastal retreat'. 

This isn't another beige box. It's fun, it's loud, it's... very them!

The kitchen itself is fairly classic in shape, with shaker-style cabinetry and clean, unfussy lines, but they've injected character through colour. 

Into the living room, and there's a definite dial-up in sophistication. Two sculptural curved sofas create a chic, almost hotel-lounge layout. 

There are arched alcoves painted in serene navy and dressed with curated artwork.  Yes, it edges into glam territory at times, but it's never gaudy. 

It's a home that says: 'We've graduated from Chelsea cocktails - now we'd like a zebra-print bench to rest our well-heeled feet on.'

Mark-Francis Vandelli

Mark-Francis's home in some ways looks more like a museum than a house

Mark-Francis Vandelli doesn't just live in a house. He resides in a museum - one curated with antiques, stories and serious style. 

While the rest of the Made In Chelsea cast dabble in minimalism and beige interiors, Mark-Francis has taken a very different route - one filled with heritage, craftsmanship and old-school glamour (clearly thanks to some very old-school money).

Mark-Francis has joked before that he was 'basically born in the auction house' - with antiques and people being his two loves. 

And from the decor of his home, that's plain to see. 

Once said to be the site of Oscar Wilde's parties, the grand townhouse was in a bit of a state when he bought it. 

One comprehensive renovation later, and it's packed with detail and drama. 

His home is one filled with heritage, craftsmanship and old-school glamour (clearly thanks to some very old-school money)

Despite the uber-luxe look, Mark says many of his favourite pieces came from eBay or at estate sales

Reclaimed parquet flooring from Transylvania, gold-leaf walls, handmade plasterwork and velvet curtains you could get lost in. 

All designed and curated by Mark-Francis - no architects, no decorators, just artisans and a highly trained eye. 

Now four-metre-high ceilings once dropped and spaces poorly divided have been returned to grandeur. 

Despite the uber-luxe look, he swears by a budget-friendly approach (probably a different level of budget to most). 

Many of his favourite pieces were sourced on eBay or at estate sales. 

His look is a mix of British eccentricity and Italian polish. He doesn't chase luxury - he lives it.

Tiffany Watson

Out of all the Made In Chelsea stars, Tiffany's home appears in many ways the most relatable to all of us

Has Tiff played it too safe with her home? The living room is a soft muted space with plush grey sofas

Of all the Made in Chelsea homes, Tiffany Watson's is the one closest to what most of us are living in - and I mean that in the best (and slightly beige) way possible. 

While her co-stars go for Versailles vibes or West London maximalism, Tiffany's renovated Richmond home plays things refreshingly straight. 

But I can't help but wonder - has she played it too safe? The living room is a soft, muted space with plush grey sofas, delicate built-ins and the occasional quirky accessory. 

Her aim of a 'country feel with a modern twist' has been accomplished - but if her walls could speak, these ones would whisper politely and offer you a chamomile tea. 

The kitchen is clean, open, and in keeping with the colour theme others in the MiC cast love - has a bright pink Aga.

It seems almost perfectly Pinterest - but is also crying out for a risk or two

Liv Conlon advises that Tiff needs a daring wallpaper or a vintage rug with attitude

The rest of the homes? Perfectly Pinterest, right down to the matching neutrals and obligatory double dishwasher (although she admits to having 'baby brain' when ordering this). 

The bathroom is grey, efficient, and very on-trend Mrs Hinch circa 2019. A safe choice, but one that risks feeling more 'developer chic' than personality-driven. 

Tiffany's home is a sanctuary for her growing family. But design-wise, it's crying out for a risk or two. 

A daring wallpaper, a vintage rug with attitude - something to say: 'This is ME!'
