Rochelle Humes' Dream Home: 2 Years In The Making

Rochelle Humes provided an extensive update on the construction of her "forever home," a significant project that has been underway for over two years. The influencer and businesswoman shared details and visuals from the site via her home account, Home Humes.

The couple relocated from their £3.3million north London property in June 2023 to embark on this ambitious building endeavor. Humes revealed that the foundational "bones of the building" are now complete, with ongoing work on details like windows and fixtures.

She has been actively involved in design meetings, selecting finishing touches and paint colors for the sprawling mansion. The property features high ceilings, extensive grounds, a grand staircase, and stylish exterior brickwork. Architectural designer Sal O'Connor has been enlisted to bring Humes' dream property to life.

Humes previously indicated that the house was still very much a shell, with rooms like bathrooms beginning to take shape by the end of last year. She anticipates that all windows will be installed within the next two weeks and expects significant progress in the new year. The star hinted that the family anticipates moving into their new home closer to completion in 2026.

Explaining the move, Humes mentioned that the couple received an unexpected offer on their previous house, which led them to find a plot in an area they "have always loved." They are currently residing in a rental property for an estimated 18 months to two years while construction progresses. She humorously described their love for moving as being "a little bit gypsy at heart."

To achieve their vision of a "new build that feels like it's been there forever," the couple has been drawing inspiration from home design shows. Humes expressed her excitement about building a house for the first time, emphasizing that this will be their "forever home" and that the children will remain in the same school district, as they are building in the same general area as their former residence. The move also involves a new office space.
