The Love Island obsession often stems further than just one-hour per evening. From following the show’s stars on social media, to letting them influence our shopping habits once they’ve departed the villa – the Love Islanders are often a huge source of insight when it comes to creating and following trends – especially within our homes.

So, which of this year’s islanders will prove to be the most influential when it comes to our interiors? Swoon, the UK’s leading online design-led furniture brand, has delved into the world of the 2023 competitors to discover the most persuasive couples who are sure to be inspiring the nation’s homes in the months to come.

Kai and Sanam - our 2023 winners!

After meeting each other in the drama-filled walls of Casa Amor, fan favourites Kai and Sanam have surprisingly managed to remain a fuss-free couple since their return to the Villa.

If you are a fan of this cute couple, we think that keeping your abode clutter-free is the ultimate home hack you’ve been yearning for. Think bold bookcases to store your favourite stories (and textbooks if you’re anything like Kai and his three degrees), and stylish storage to keep your ever-expanding wardrobe at bay.

Ron and Lana

Being the first official couple of the villa, Ron and Lana have earned their space as one of the Villa’s strongest couples. Despite their tumultuous journey with some of the islanders doubting Ron’s motivations, the duo recently became official, sparking thoughts of how life will be on the outside for the two lovebirds.

If you have fallen for ‘Rana’, we think your abode needs a tonal refresh. Both Ron and Lana are bold, sweet, and cheeky personalities, lending themselves perfectly to a punchy colour palette – just like Lana’s eccentric wardrobe on the show.

Will and Jessie

As far as unconventional couples go, farmer Will and personal trainer Jessie are top of the list. With the rural farmer falling for the Australian bombshell, talks have already turned to life outside the Villa – and moving in with each other!

If you are rooting for Will and Jessie to take the crown, we bet your home is full of sentimental accessories. From family photos to beach-combed shells and tourist titbits from your globe-trotting adventures – you love to make memories and fuse them into your interior for the most personal display. Will and Jessie have very different lives outside of the villa, so the blending of both of their belongings is sure to build a bustling array of ornaments and embellishments.

Sam Greig, Senior Designer at Swoon, comments:

“If you are looking to downsize your sofa to free up space in your abode, a love seat is also the ideal alternative. With all of the benefits of your usual seating arrangement in a handy pocket-sized substitute – what’s not to love (seat)?”
