Amanda Holden has transformed her £7 million Surrey mansion into a lavish ‘forever home’, drawing inspiration from the Beverly Hills Hotel in her interior design. With features such as black and gold dining rooms, leopard-themed wallpaper, and chandeliers, Amanda has created a space fit for elegant parties. She has longed for this property her entire life and has devoted herself to remodeling it from a ‘pale’ and ‘grey’ space to a glamorous and unique abode. Making use of influences like RuPaul to recreate a hallway with statement black and white diamond print flooring and peach walls, Amanda has created a welcoming and stylish environment.
Despite initial hesitation, Amanda felt that the risk of purchasing the property was worth the reward, even amidst challenging financial conditions such as high stamp duty rates and soaring inflation. She quickly turned her house into a home, cherishing each aspect of the property, such as her daughter Hollie’s bedroom with its jungle-green wallpaper and luxurious furnishings. Amanda has also made subtle changes such as replacing old flooring with dark herringbone floors, further enhancing the transformation of her house into her very own ‘Beverly Hills Hotel’.
Amanda’s mansion has become a place where she can entertain close friends like talent boss Simon Cowell and his partner Lauren Silverman. She has developed a close relationship with Simon and feels like they are becoming more like family, hosting dinners and spending time together outside of work. However, Amanda acknowledges that her position on Britain’s Got Talent is not guaranteed each year, as Simon is known for reinventing the show’s judging panel. Nonetheless, she is excited for the new series and grateful for the opportunity to continue on the show.
As she prepares to judge the upcoming season of Britain’s Got Talent, Amanda admits to feeling emotional during the auditions. She recalls her own experiences as a young actress auditioning for roles and the hopes and nerves she had at the beginning of her career. Even after branching out into other areas of the entertainment industry, she still considers herself an actress above all else. Amanda’s new spring/summer collection with Lipsy is available to purchase, reflecting her sense of style and flair for fashion. She is dedicated to creating a welcoming and stylish environment in her home, reflecting her passion for interior design and creating a space where friends and family can come together for memorable gatherings.
