ROBERTSON Homes has opened a new show home in Calderwood featuring a kitchen inspired by David Beckham.
Almondell, on Calderwood Road, is a development of 66 three, four, five, and six-bedroom homes by Almondell and Calderwood Country Park.
The firm recently opened the 2,500 sq.ft, five-bedroom Murray Garden Room show home, which features an open plan kitchen dining area with an interior design that it said designers created with inspiration from David Beckham’s own kitchen – which was recently displayed in Netflix’s documentary on his life.
The kitchen features cupboards fitted up to the extra-high ceiling, a large oak dining table, and two large iron framed mirrors to bounce light and reflection around the entertaining space.
The second reception room to the ground floor has been transformed into a home study, to demonstrate how effective home working can be in this property. In the lounge, a replica stone wall surrounds the fireplace and continues across the ceiling, allowing exterior influences to be continued inside the home.
Continuing a theme of bringing the outside in, the garden room demonstrates how weekend decadence might look.
Upstairs, the designers have used American RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) influences with a modern take on a four-poster bed in the principal bedroom.
Also to the first floor is the karaoke room. Ceiling to floor wrap around curtains create a sound-proofed intimate atmosphere and ceiling mounted LED lights produce a colourful backdrop to a room fitted with a screen, microphones, and karaoke machine.
Sharon Spinelli, sales and marketing director at Robertson Homes, said, “Our show homes are the window to allow people to see how their lives may look in a new Robertson development and we continue to push the boundaries and showcase beautiful and inventive interior design in an aspirational way which our customers can achieve themselves.
“The Murray Garden Room was designed with an established family in mind, perhaps with children away at University and Sixth Form, as we wanted to show how the home can be flexible with the changing demands of life.
“The launch was a huge success and the feedback we received from house hunters was entirely positive. Visitors particularly liked the way we have re-purposed fixtures and furniture to show how great design can also be sustainable.
“A timber trough has been reclaimed to become a large planter for the dining table and old printing blocks from a former printing press now make attractive and interesting storage drawers. It’s the little touches like this which inspire people to think about how they can incorporate interesting and unusual pre-loved items to make statement pieces.”
