He was crowned the King of the Jungle on this year’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, so it’s clear Sam Thompson had the time of his life Down Under.
But after living in the camp with nothing but rice and beans to eat, the former Made in Chelsea star is no doubt thrilled to be returning to the UK and his home comforts at his stunning London pad where he lives with his girlfriend, Zara McDermott.
The couple, who began dating back in 2019, moved into the gorgeous £1 million townhouse in the capital in recent years and has, ever since, been making it their own with incredible renovations and redesigns.
One aspect of their home that we are obsessed with is their dining area, which thanks to its gorgeous décor and furniture, looks fresh out of a luxury hotel in the heart of Chelsea.
Zara Mcdermott and Sam Thompson’s Ultra-Luxe Dining Area
The Dining Space
The dining area in Zara and Sam’s house is super glam. From this photo shared on their home Instagram account, @thethompsonproject, the area is shown in all its glory. We’re obsessed with the round table which sits in the centre of the floor space, which is accompanied by six stylish suede seats – offering plenty of room for when hosting dinner parties.
The stunning wooden table is decorated with two cream vases and one glass candle vase, which complement the neutral tones of the entire dining area.
Personal Touches
The gorgeous townhouse might have elements that look fresh out of a Chelsea hotel, but we also love how Zara and Sam have put their own personal touches within their property, truly making it feel homely and unique to them.
One way they have done this is to place three different coloured Supreme skateboards on the wall above the archway into the kitchen. Zara explained how she had bought her boyfriend the skateboards as a present and that he was desperate for them to go up.
After she asked her followers their thoughts, some were loving the personal touch it added, while others candidly said it didn’t match and should perhaps be put up in his office. If you ask us, we love that they aren’t afraid to be bold and have fun even in rooms that have more of a neutral theme.
Added Luxury
How incredible is this bronze wall mirror located just next to the dining table? We’re obsessed. Not only does it reflect the gorgeous lighting in the room, throwing back more sparkle and light into the area, but the mirror panels elevate the space adding even more of a high-end luxury feel.
“This has ended up being one of the best decisions we have made in the house,” Zara wrote. “The ceilings feel so much higher and the room feels 10x bigger. Crazy what a bit of mirror can do.”
The Light-Fitting of Dreams
When we first saw Zara and Sam’s dining area, our eyes were immediately drawn to their jaw-droppingly beautiful light-fitting hanging from the ceiling above the table. Zara and Sam said on their Instagram that it took a whole day for them to put up and that they were “so in love” with the finished result – and we don’t blame them.
The circular glass shades add a really gorgeous element to the room and throw out plenty of light. The different coloured glass also complements the colour scheme perfectly.
