Show home room by room - Primrose, The Village, Buntingford

Posted 12 April 2017 by Ben Salisbury

Primrose is a new show home with an old-school Hollywood design from Fairview New Homes at a new development, The Village in Buntingford, Hertfordshire

Fairview New Homes has brought the glitz and glamour of old-school Hollywood to rural Hertfordshire with its Primrose showhome at The Village, Buntingford.

The three-bedroom Primrose is ideal for growing families and includes a contemporary open-plan kitchen/dining room and a spacious separate living room.

Jim Holliday, Sales and Marketing Director for Fairview New Homes, said: “We pride ourselves on creating showhomes which are not only stylish but also have plenty of character.

“The Primrose captures the beauty and style of old black and white Hollywood movies, creating a showhome interior scheme which stands out and which we are confident our visitors will remember.”

Fairview is building 316 homes for sale at The Village, where house types have been named after flowers as a nod to the development’s rural location. Housetypes include the Rose, Poppy and Daffodil.

The Primrose showhome’s interior scheme was created by Abbey Emmerson of Trend Designs.

Abbey said: “I’ve always loved the aesthetics of Hollywood, and thought that the theme would create a sophisticated look.

“The scheme was based on a warm colour palette of cream and pale gold and we added dark and theatrical accessories to create a sophisticated contrast.

“Monochrome pictures of Hollywood greats line the hallway, and their presence captures the romance associated with this iconic period in the film industry.”


Living room: “This room is an elegant space to relax in. Pale flooring, wallpaper and sofas contrast with the dark coffee table and framed photographs. A Hollywood home wouldn’t be complete without a dramatic feature piece, and the silver spotlight certainly brings a talking point.”

Kitchen/dining room: “This practical yet stylish kitchen/dining room is the perfect space for entertaining guests. The dark surface of the dining table contrasts with the light kitchen units, wallpaper and dining chairs. The abstract table centrepiece is a real focal point of the room.”

Master bedroom: “Upstairs, we made use of a rich palette of gold tones to create a sophisticated place to unwind. The master bedroom includes a luxe glossy golden feature wall to reflect the glamourous Hollywood lifestyle, while the theme is extended through the continued use of black and white framed imagery.”

Bedrooms 2 and 3: “The second bedroom has a light and airy feel. There are hints of gold on the bedding and lamps, while the only dark accents are the outline of the headboard and the neighbouring bedside tables. Stylish vertical mirrors frame the bed on either side, in keeping with the Hollywood look. The third bedroom is an elegant study space which doubles up as a guest bedroom. Visitors’ eyes are drawn toward the striking feature mirror, while the neutral colour scheme makes it a calm space for working from home.”
