Gravesend mum brings the outside in with a flower mural in her flat

The graphic designer and illustrator said: "I'm currently furloughed and wanted to keep up my creativity while being stuck at home.

"We are currently living in a flat with no garden so I wanted to bring a bit of the outside in to brighten up her space."

It took Becky around two weeks to paint, and consists of lots of flowers – including peonies – bees and butterflies.

She used wall paint, paint pens and finished it off with gold leaf for the detailing.
