WHAT A KITSCH-EN

This normal-looking Cardiff house hides a time warp secret inside that might make it Britain’s most colourful home

FROM the outside, this Edwardian semi may look like any other house on its street - but it hides an incredible kaleidoscope secret inside.

Behind the front door, the home is decorated with a bold psychedelic 70s design throughout, which might make it Britain's most colourful home.

The kitchen is in the style of an American roadside diner with pink and blue walls, chequered flooring, and a Rock'N'Roll jukebox.

The owner has decorated other rooms with bold and striking patterns, in an array of colours, while the garden was once used to host a "Mad Hatter's tea party."

But the three bedroom home has now on the market for £210,000 as owner Angela Spiteri, 36, seeks to spread her creative touch elsewhere.

Angela, who also works as a campaign manager for Recycle for Wales, described the house in Splott, Cardiff as "kitsch and colourful".

She said: "One of my favourite upstairs rooms is the 1970's inspired retro room, it is where I go when I need a massive hit of colour."

In her spare time, Angela creates her own brand of headdresses says she used the house for inspiration.

She said: "This is also my craft room, where I design and create.

"The house has also provided perfect backdrops for staging photoshoots for my headdresses – for example in the garden I set up a mad hatters tea party scene."
