Ever wondered what life inside a Simple Life home really looks like? Our Simple Life Cribs series gives you a peek behind the front door of our residents’ homes across the UK, celebrating real people, real stories, and the unique ways they make their spaces their own. This time, we’re catching up with one of our lovely residents to see how she and her family have turned their Simple Life home into something truly special filled with laughter, character, and a few unexpected surprises along the way.

Lights, camera… front door open! 👋
This week on Simple Life Cribs, we’re heading inside one of our residents’ homes to meet Anum, her husband, and their two sons and trust us, this family knows how to make a Simple Life home their own.
From the moment we walk in, it’s clear this isn’t just a house, it’s a home full of personality. Thrifted furniture adds character to every corner, while shelves and walls are lined with travel mementos from trips near and far, from quirky souvenirs to framed artwork that spark memories and stories.
The vibe is casual, lived-in, and totally fun. We peek inside the fridge, spy the homes favourite goodies, and even uncover the weirdest things hiding in the sofa (yes, there is a whole toy collection hidden underneath). But beyond the fun and laughter, this home is all about traditions, and little rituals that make everyday life special.
And that’s the heart of what we love about Simple Life homes: it’s not just about the space, it’s about the life inside it. This family proves that renting can be simple, stylish, and full of personality, no matter where you are in the UK.
So, what’s the most surprising thing about their home? Well, we’ll leave you guessing. You can watch the full tour on our YouTube channel @simplelifehomes, to see all the quirky corners, thrifted furniture, travel treasures, and family traditions that make this home so special.
