\nAn end-of-terrace has become a shrine to the glamour and glitz of the disco decadeFrom the day Estelle Bilson moved into the three-bedroom house in south Manchester that she shares with her husband, Steve, their seven-year-old son and their black cat, Elvis, there was little doubt about the direction the interiors would take.

Much of what they have accumulated has been had for a song, sourced from eBay, Facebook Marketplace or car boot sales, while back in the late-90s and early noughties Estelle would often find things for free, discarded in skips or left out on the street, as people purged their homes of what was no longer fashionable.
