Inside Wayne Rooney's £20M home: luxe £100,000 staircase, £20,000 kitchen island

  /  autty

The Rooneys' £20million Cheshire home gets a starring role in the couple's new Disney+ bombshell documentary.

As Coleen and Wayne discuss the explosive Wagatha Christie trial - in which she accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking details of her life to The Sun newspaper - viewers also get to glimpse the vast home the couple share with their four sons - Kai, 13, Klay, ten, Kit, seven, and Cass, five.

The Rooneys, who grew up in Liverpool's working class Croxteth area, moved into their luxe lavish mansion in 2022 after spending years building their forever home.

As the bricks were laid, critics dubbed it the 'Morrisons mansion', saying the home looked like a sprawling supermarket.

Much of the action in the three-part documentary series released this week sees the couple speaking - as the Beckhams did in their recent Netflix series - from the comfort of their own couches.

While the mulkti-million pound home with extended grounds boasts a stables, cinema and outdoor spa - the show offers insight into the couple's interior style.

Here, MailOnline looks at some of the interiors on show...

'Quiet luxury' kitchen with £20,000 marble island and £10,000 dining set

Unlike the Beckham's Soho Farmhouse 'chic and cosy clutter' vibes, the Rooneys' enourmous kitchen area adheres much more to the 'quiet luxury' trend seen in the home of another celebrity couple, Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan.

There's an impressive white marble island with strip lighting in the kitchen, with a surface stone so thick that there's likely not much change from £20,000 for the standalone piece.

Four white leather stools line one side of the island, with a likely value of around £2000 for the quartet.

A dramatic prismatic light bridges the gap between the island and the dining table - and might set you back around £1000 - while the 10-person dining table could carry a price tag of £10,000.

Practical! £7 grey plastic baskets and £50 clothes racks for the Rooney boys' uniform

Episode three of the documentary series sees Coleen showing she hasn't forgotten her working class roots in spite of the huge financial success both her and Wayne have enjoyed in their respective careers.

The mum-of-four shows off rails of neatly laid-out school uniforms for her youngest sons and three large plastic baskets underneath them for school and football socks.

The property might now be worth in excess of £20million but this modest wardrobe set-up is unlikely to cost more than around £100 all in, with clothes rails costing around £50 and Curver grey plastic baskets around £7 each.

Luxe hello: Bespoke £60,000 staircase, £8,000 white stone fireplace and £2,000 Art Deco mirror

Opening the front door on the Rooney home sees guests greeted with a vision of light, pouring in through Crittal-style windows - which aren't cheap at around £2,700 per square metre - and the light tones continue.

There's a white stone fireplace and Art Deco style mirror above it - costing the wrong side of £5,000 for both.

The real show-stealer though is the bespoke central staircase, which is likely to have cost anywhere between around £50,000 and £100,000.

Lauren Zeng, a furniture expert for Homary, says the landing is all about literally making a dramatic entrance.

Says Zeng: 'Coleen has really taken the luxe-look and grandeur of hotels into her own space to ensure she sets the tone straight away in the home's entrance.

'The Rooneys' huge double staircase is supported with a stunning chandelier, a grand white fireplace, and an oversized mirror. The light spills in from the floor to ceiling windows but warm glow lighting, candles and accessories helps to keep things inviting.

'Abstract and sculptural styles of entryway benches are emerging as the stand out trend to add modern luxury to interior hallways spaces.'

And Benji Lewis agrees it's a good look: 'A fireplace at the foot of a stairwell is a very glam look, with the built in mirror above exaggerating the sense of space – it’d be nice to think rather than just being for show however the fire gets lit.'

Living areas: Muted walls, a £5,000 antique cabinet and £2,000 two-seater sofa

High ceilings abound in the Rooneys' living space and the decor is sparse, with just one or two pieces.

In a scene from episode three, Wayne is seen talking to camera one of the living rooms that boasts just a sofa and one piece of furniture.

An antique cabinet like the one seen behind the Birmingham manager's left shoulder might fetch around £5,000 while a linen fabric sofa would retail at around £2,000.

In another scene, Coleen is perched in front of her laptop, in a room with expensive-looking patterned wallpaper and on-trend herringbone wooden floors.

Continuing the theme of learning, alongside the globe, there's also a professional-looking telescope in one of the rooms. Such impressive star-gazing equipment generally costs several thousand pounds.

Lewis comments: 'By combining the odd antique there’s a suggestion that the Rooneys might like to inject character into the home whilst the telescope indicates an interest in star-gazing out through the big windows.'

While light floods in, artificial lights are kept to a minimum - a conscious choice says Lewis.

'There’s a suggestion in the documentary that overhead lighting isn’t their thing and I can largely see why; rooms like this need to feel homely and by using side lighting and candles in storm lanterns there’s a welcoming glow to the spaces.'

Crittall-style windows: Let the light in...but cost £2,700 per square metre

Interiors expert Lewis is also a fan of the Crittall-style windows, saying they set the tone for the entire house, and let light flood the rooms.

He told MailOnline: 'Those big Georgian style sash windows, tall ceilings and dado rails suggest the Rooneys have adopted a traditional approach for the bones of their home.

'Windows like that are terrifically smart and brilliant for allowing plenty of light into a room. Painting the windows white keeps the look simple, traditional and chic.'

And the roman blinds - around £500 per window for a bespoke option - are a sound choice too, says Lewis.

'By using roman blinds to dress the windows they’re keeping the look neat and linear, whilst providing least interference for light to get in.

'That said they’re not concerned about privacy, there are no sheers or curtains to keep out prying lenses.

'Finishing the roman blinds with a contrast trim to the edges shows that thought’s been given to the decor.'

For the kids: £200 mini kids kitchens, cosy cushions - and plenty of practical storage

While there's plenty of inspiration apparently taken from some of the glitzy five-star hotels the couple have stayed in, it's clear the Rooneys' home is also functional and family-minded.

There's a mini kitchen area - with soft comfy chairs around it in one room - clearly a favourite with the couple's youngest son Cass.

And storage is also important. Practical, block-style shelves help house some of the Rooney boys toys.

Says Lewis: 'Open shelving is a good and homely way of showcasing personal effects – to include a few framed family photos - but needs maintenance to prevent things looking messy.

He adds: 'I should think that they had the shelving customised, by not taking it too high they’re ensuring that everything is reachable, and the spacing on the shelving looks tailored to accommodate the things they wish to show off.'
