Martine McCutcheon has shown off her amazing home makeover, including a stylish living room.
The Love Actually star, 47, who recently spoke about her hidden health struggles, shared a video on her Instagram page of the impressive project, revealing a beautiful black and white space. She showed fans her grand hallway with its striking black and white checkerboard tiles as she opened a set of glass doors separating it from the living area.
The bright and spacious area is painted white, with a black radiator and framed picture adding to the black and white theme. The lovely living room matches the entrance area's vibe, featuring a lot of neutral colours and textures, and herringbone flooring throughout.
There is also a big cream sofa at one end of the room, adorned with patterned cushions and a throw. A black industrial-style floor lamp stands behind the sofa, perfect for cosy evenings spent reading or watching TV.
A modern coffee table decorated with a bunch of white roses, a candle and a Kate Moss book helps to break up the space, reports OK!. Martine McCutcheon has shown off her stylish living room, complete with a cosy cream armchair and a leafy plant. She wrote on social media: "They say it's all about the finer details and a beautiful finish and I'm so happy to share our entrance hallway and living room with you!

Martine's followers were quick to praise the fancy room. "I'm in love. I've got tile floor samples like this for our bathroom. Fallen in love again after seeing yours xxx," one Instagram user commented. "Wow! It's looking gorgeous! As are you x," said another fan. "Stunning great taste and classic," someone else posted.
Early last month, Martine urged people to "keep on talking" as she opened up on a hidden health battle. The EastEnders star took to her social media where she reflected on the "physical and emotional trauma" of having Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
She has opened up about her own experiences with CFS, which is a long-term condition Martine has been struggling with for the last decade.
It leaves people feeling extremely tired and includes symptoms like having problems sleeping and thinking, taking a long time to recover from physical activities, headaches, joint pains and flu-like symptoms.
