GET THE LOOK - The Ribbleton Show Home
The team at Create Homes knew that the new Ribbleton show home, in the exclusive and award-winning location of Elswick village, needed a REALLY SPECIAL design team to get the perfect look for this gorgeous showcase home.
Gill Mathison, Founder & Brand Director at Create Homes and her team, engaged an award-winning architect and two very special interior design teams to do the project justice. MCK architects, Lifestyle Interiors and Stuart Frazer worked closely with Create to came up with the perfect show home design. The result is not only spacious, functional and of fantastic quality, it provides a luxury lifestyle both inside and out, with the perfect look and feel for the ultimate designer home, in a countryside setting.
Gill said: "We are SO pleased with the design of our show home at Chapel Mill. It's really rather special. The hard work from our talented design teams has culminated in a stunning showcase home, which has a very light and airy feel that is very appealing. The beautiful views of the countryside from every window also make the home really special. I'm sure that our customers will be totally INSPIRED by the design, which will help them visualise what they could do in their own brand new home."

THE DESIGN OF THE SHOW HOME
Take a look at the new show home room by room.
THE BRIEF
Create Homes commissioned a sophisticated white and grey scheme for the show home interior at Chapel Mill, taking inspiration from the timeless aesthetics of The White Company, renowned for their impeccably stylish and beautifully designed products for the home. The scheme has a light and bright feel, using natural colours & textures, with contrasting wood and brass elements to add a sense of warmth and luxury. Inside the show home you will find an imaginative & spacious open-plan layout and a wonderful new interior scheme. The home has a contemporary Shaker kitchen/diner by Stuart Frazer with an additional seating area, a separate dining room and a utility room, a boot room, a relaxing family lounge, four generous double bedrooms with a further study/bedroom, a family bathroom, three ensuites and a walk-in wardrobe to the Master.

THE LOUNGE
THE HALL & LANDING
THE DESIGN: To infuse a sense of luxury and character throughout the home, the interior design team added beading to the hall, stairs, and landing, providing an elegant and refined panelled look. The team built bespoke slatted radiator covers to make a feature in the hall, as well as providing a shelving space for decorative items. Stunning herringbone Amtico flooring draws the eye through into the kitchen diner, adding warmth and texture to the space, complementing the oak carpentry.
THE KITCHEN/DINER/FAMILY AREA
THE DESIGN: In the kitchen area, the design team at Stuart Frazer created an amazing focal point with a beautiful shaker style kitchen featuring a stunning white quartz worktop for added luxury. An large over-sized clock adds a sense of drama to the space.
DINING ROOM
THE DESIGN: The Amtico herringbone flooring follows through into the dining room, which is off the kitchen. A bespoke slatted wood-effect cover was chosen to disguise the radiator and provide shelving for ornaments and plants, and a wooden table as chosen to continue the natural theme. Again, light dining chairs were chosen to match the seating in the kitchen diner to give a cohesive look. Glamorous overhead lighting adds a WOW-factor to the space and a mirror reflects the light coming in from the French doors, which are dressed with soft floaty curtains.
THE UTILITY/BOOT ROOM
THE DESIGN: The team designed a bespoke boot room, adding a fitted bench seat and wall-to-wall shelving, which created a practical and stylish area for preparing the family dog for local walks. This area was thoughtfully styled with dog accessories, hooks for fedora hats, wellington boots, scarves, and more, adding a personalised touch. This space could also be used as a pantry, with plenty of space for storage. The utility area next to this has cabinets to match the kitchen and a floating wooden shelf, which is both functional and stylish.
THE BEDROOMS
THE DESIGN: The spacious bedrooms have luxury white linens with textured scatter cushions and throws in neutral colours and interesting textures. The padded headboards are bespoke, made by the interior design team, adding a WOW factor and sense of cosy comfort and luxury.
THE STUDY/OFFICE
THE DESIGN: The fifth bedroom is styled as a study, with bespoke shaker-style fitted cabinetry adding a touch of traditional style. The desk and shelving unit is designed to tie in with the look of the kitchen cabinetry downstairs, and allows for tons of stylish storage space. The addition of the easy chair and table lamp make the room perfect for reading and relaxing, whilst providing tons of country charm. It’s the ideal mix of traditional and modern.
THE BATHROOMS
THE EXTERIOR
THE DESIGN: The new show home at the Chapel Mill village development in Elswick has excellent kerb appeal, with traditional brick & stonework and beautiful bay windows. To the rear, the landscaped private garden is accessed through bifold doors from the kitchen and French doors from the dining room. We love to keep them open on a sunny day to bring the outside inside!
