Bringing the Outdoors In: Nature's Embrace
Drawing inspiration from the magnificent surroundings of Kendal, the interior design of The Cranford show home charmingly reflects the location's beauty. Natural colours reminiscent of Kendal limestone, along with quality textures and soft blue tones, were carefully chosen in direct response to the local landmarks and environment. Meanwhile, the delicate placement of eucalyptus, bunny tails, and greenery was thoughtfully integrated throughout the home, infusing the space with a fresh and organic atmosphere. This trend of incorporating organic elements resonates with the desire to create a harmonious connection between the interior and the natural world. By seamlessly blending the outdoor and indoor environments, this show home exudes a sense of vitality and tranquillity.
Elevated Comfort: The Living Room Oasis
The living room serves as a sanctuary of comfort and style, reimagining the charm of country living in a contemporary way. Textured and plush cushions invite you to unwind and relax, enveloping you in a cosy embrace. A thoughtfully designed media wall, adorned with carefully placed candles and illuminated shelves, creates a serene ambience that naturally encourages rejuvenation. The use of suede and textured upholstery adds depth and tactility to the design while chandeliers and artistic vases elevate the aesthetic further, infusing the space with glamour and artistic refinement.
Walls as Master Pieces:
Showcasing Versatility & Creativity
The show home's walls become canvases for artistic expression. While textured arch wallpapers add depth and visual interest, it also captures the natural movements and serenity of the surrounding landscapes. These artistic elements serve as focal points, adding drama and personality to each space. Luxurious artwork with an expressionist flair continues to infuse the show home with creativity and visual intrigue. The trend of incorporating textured walls and impactful artwork celebrates the fusion of sophistication and artistic brilliance, turning every wall into a masterpiece.
Beyond the overarching design aesthetic, each room within the show home possesses its own unique character and charm. The Peter Rabbit room pays homage to the beloved author with a captivating wall mural painting. This whimsical depiction links to the charm and beauty of the Lake District, creating a sense of enchantment and nostalgia. These distinct spaces showcase the versatility and creativity embedded within the design choices. The trend of creating bespoke and memorable spaces that reflect individuality and personal expression is celebrated, leaving an indelible mark on every visitor.

Last but not least, we move into the dining area, where sophistication intertwines with modern panache, leaving a lasting impression. The carefully curated ensemble of dining chairs takes centre stage, striking the perfect balance between comfort and style. Geometric patterns on the upholstery add a contemporary twist, reflecting the trend of incorporating dynamic shapes and patterns into interior spaces.
