Inside Corrie’s Tina O’Brien’s Manchester home – from the relatable messy living room floors to her Ikea interiors
SHE’S lived on the country’s most famous street since the tender aged of 16.
But when she’s not starring in Coronation Street as Sarah Platt, Tina O’Brien lives with husband Adam Crofts, who she wed on New Year’s Eve in 2018, and children Scarlett and Beau, in her beautiful Manchester home.
But unlike most celebrities who aim to portray a picture-perfect lifestyle on social media, the 40-year-old, who has recently hit the headlines for trying to break up vicious brawl near home, isn’t afraid to show off the reality of living with two children.
Instead, she regularly shares glimpses inside her very relatable house on her Instagram – from a messy living room floor to duck-inspired wallpaper.
The messy lounge
When it comes to Christmas, many of us can’t wait to put the decorations up and show off our hard work on social media – and the actress is no different.
In 2017, she posted an adorable snap of her beloved pooch cosied up on the grey rug in her living room floor.
The super stylish lounge is complete with fresh cream carpets, white walls and spotlights, while a sleek and modern grey armchair is situated in the corner of the room, providing the perfect place for Tina to kick back and relax after a busy day of filming.
To accessorise the space, the actress added a gold mirror and statement floor lamp.
The room also features floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a plentiful supply of light, not to mention a picturesque view of the couple’s gorgeous garden, which is surrounded by tall hedges.
However, Tina was keen to show what a difference a day makes as just 24 hours later she posted an image of the very same floors scattered with everything from magazines and toys.
“I need to tidy up, but instead I’m going to have a glass of wine and turn the lights down low,” she joked.
Sprawling garden
For anyone looking for inspo on how to spruce up their garden in time for spring – look no further than Tina O’Brien’s outdoor haven.
The soap star shared a stunning snap of her green garden and penned: “When the light fades you’ll find me here with a glass of bubbles #gardenlove.”
And it’s little wonder why, as the proud homeowner opened up her double doors to reveal a tidy decking area complete with grey furniture and a white table that’s positioned on a circular rattan rug.
To add to the ambience when hosting friends and loved ones, Tina added a string of fairy lights, while a potted palm tree and a flower bed also help to give off ‘holiday vibes.’
Marble kitchen
If you hate cooking, chances are you’d be spending a lot more time in the kitchen if yours offered you a breathtaking view of the garden like Tina’s does.
The room has a light and airy feel thanks to the addition of skylights and is the perfect entertaining space for hosting guests.
Chic and sleek, it has a spacious white marble top that’s ideal for pouring drinks, and an extravagant wooden dining table complete with green leather chairs to seat all of her guests.
To inject some personality into the otherwise plain white walls, the actress added several pieces of artwork, including one poster which has a drawing of the popular cocktail and reads: “Call me old fashioned.”
Bedroom
Clearly a fan of all things neutral, Tina showed off her grey and white-coloured bedroom as she posed in a stunning fuchsia gown on the large double bed.
The grey floral duvet perfectly complements the statement wall which features tree-themed wallpaper, while an array of different shaped cushions in a range of pink shades add a pop of colour.
Meanwhile, grey built-in wardrobes skim around the outskirts of one side of the room, creating enough storage for the soap star to house her glitzy ball gowns that she wears to her red carpet do’s.
Hallway
In one photo, Tina could be seen taking a selfie in her hallway as she donned black patterned dress and tights.
But it didn’t only reveal her outfit…it also showed a glimpse of an oversized silver antique mirror and the striking duck-inspired wallpaper that runs up the stairs.
For additional storage, the mum-of-two has placed a white unit from IKEA under her cream stairs, which, according to one photo, is where her dogs like to chill.
She also showed a glimpse of a piano which holds a gold vase with colourful tulips and several photo frames, including one that reads: “All you need is love.”
Alongside the snap, she penned: “All thanks to @samia_longchambon for our wonderful wedding present which takes pride of place above our piano.”
