Show Home Room By Room: The ‘Lloyd’, Derby

Nightingale Quarter is located on the site of the former Derbyshire Royal Infirmary, where Midlands house Wavensmere Homes is producing a range of one-, two- and three-bedroom new build homes and apartments with a peppering of the infirmary’s iconic buildings retained for community use, with residents having access to numerous facilities including cafés, gyms and exhibition centres.

Steve Hird, director at Edward Thomas Interiors, commented: “The ‘Lloyd’ show home at Nightingale Quarter was designed with a modern and fresh feel to appeal to Wavensmere Homes’ key demographic – young families, young professionals and first-time buyers. Featuring an emerald green, natural colour palette, this open-plan, three-bedroom property has plenty to offer.

Kitchen/dining/living room

“Walking into the ‘Lloyd’, you immediately enter the impressive kitchen/dining/living room which is flooded with natural light from French doors and side windows. In this generously proportioned space, we’ve been able to create distinctive areas for dining, relaxing and home working. Walnut furniture and geometric print fabrics and accessories are combined with emerald green velvet chairs and a gold frame coffee table to make a luxurious and stylish space. House plants are included for a splash of extra greenery and to enhance the room’s natural and restorative colour palette.

Cloakroom

“Often an overlooked space, we’ve styled the downstairs cloakroom with a grey, textured fabric wallpaper to really make a statement and continued the geometric theme by using hexagonal wire frame shelving as wall art.

Master bedroom

“Somewhere to retreat and relax, the ‘Lloyd’’s master bedroom has a boutique, hotel feel. Behind the bed, a black panelled headboard and feature wall with white and gold art deco wallpaper are designed to catch the eye. Sleek gold and grey cabinetry and a dramatic swirling LED light fitting complete the look.

Bedroom two

“Equally as inviting, the second bedroom has a semi-industrial style, featuring black wall-mounted angle poise lamps either side of the bed, abstract artwork and a concrete-effect painted feature wall. To contrast this, a moss green velvet headboard, mirrored wardrobe and gold frame lighting add a touch of elegance for visiting family or friends.

Bedroom three

“In bedroom three, we’ve been able to add a playful interpretation of Derby’s status as home to the Rolls Royce jet engine and styled this with an aeronautical theme. Aeroplane artwork and accessories help bring this to life, including a spectacular wall mounted propeller plane clock. Furniture indicative of flight cases or old-fashioned luggage make this a fun room for young aspiring pilots or engineers.

Bathroom

“The family bathroom is a bright, modern space that echoes the natural colour palette of the ground floor. Full-height, glossy white brick-effect tiles contrast perfectly with the sage green wall paint whilst waffle towels and fabric house plant holders add a homely ambiance.”
