New home interiors woo the crowds in Coventry
A £15 million Stoke development has nearly sold out way ahead of schedule with homebuyers also reserving off plan for 2011 – and this is in no small part due to the stunning interior design schemes of the two new showhomes.
The Boulevard by Taylor Wimpey West Midlands is the exciting second phase of the regeneration of Peugeot’s former plant and HQ on Humber Road - and visitors are being inspired by the distinctive two bedroom ‘Woburn’ and it’s black, silver and ivory colour scheme, plus the spacious three bedroom ‘Woodgate’ which subtly fuses pale aqua, beige and touches of sage green.
Created by renowned interior designers, Vogue Interiors, both schemes are the epitome of urban chic and inspired by the busy lifestyles of young professionals and reflecting various aspects of contemporary living.
The confident monochromes of the ‘Woburn’ are counterbalanced by warmer mustard highlights. The ground floor has a well planned clean and modern look, with ivory and silver wallpaper to heighten the sense of space, while an elegant soft grey sofa, with mustard cushions and clear glass furniture, adds sophistication to this relaxed and flexible living environment.
Fully equipped and well-proportioned, the kitchen is dressed to impress with striking black and silver fittings fit for a gourmet chef, while visitors will also be ‘wowed’ by the master bedroom with its sumptuous box style headboard in a luxurious mustard, sateen finish, which has something of the richness and sensuality of the modern day boudoir. In contrast, the grey, ivory and black tones of the guest bedroom have a more classic modern elegance.
The exclusive three bedroom ‘Woodgate’ is ideal for a couple with a young family, plus the Vogue Interiors design team have also created an idyllic environment in which to relax after a busy day. The ground floor has a warm, soft and inviting feel and while the classic stripe wallpaper and exclusive glass and walnut furniture are suited to an executive lifestyle, they also manage to create a comfortable and practical place to live, entertain and bring up a young family.
The master bedroom continues the sense of calm sophistication with its soothing ivory tones, touches of pale aqua and smooth fabrics, while the elegance of the ivory fluted headboard and eye-catching mirror furniture add a sense of luxury. The serene aqua tones of the guest bedroom with its stylish buttoned headboard also complement this warm and modern look.
Additionally, visitors to this exquisite three bedroom home can’t fail to fall in love with the delightful toddler’s room. Dressed to the theme of ‘Winnie the Pooh’, a charming hand painted canvas of children’s favourite bear, floating away on a balloon, is enough to inspire the sweetest of dreams.
The Boulevard will bring 142 aspirational new properties to the Stoke area and is part of an overall £200million scheme for some 1400 new homes called Dominion Plaza. It continues the brownfield regeneration which began with the highly successful first phase called Axis and also includes new roads and infrastructure.
Cutting edge one and two bedroom designer apartments, plus contemporary two, three and four bedroom mews and executive homes are on offer at The Boulevard. Plus, it will feature wide roads with discreet parking, back street crescents and tree-lined avenues with a real emphasis on architectural aesthetics, planning and design excellence.
And it’s based around the striking central ‘homezone’ concept popular in Europe, where developments combine the modern benefits of city living with the social space usually associated with villages. This puts people and the communities of which they are part of at the heart of the design process. Despite the urban setting, Dominion Plaza as a whole will benefit from attractive pockets of green space and handy recreational areas, plus improved transport links and new footpaths.
Jan Titley, sales & marketing director for Taylor Wimpey West Midlands, says: “The Boulevard is the shape of things to come in Coventry and is already becoming a highly desirable new address. Ever since we opened at the start of the year, sales have been well above average, because with confidence returning to the market and a host of financial and practical incentives still available to help get a move on, local homebuyers are realising if you buy early from plan, you get the pick of the crop and are able to secure more favourable prices.”
Current availability at The Boulevard is made up of newly released properties and includes luxury one bedroom apartments with allocating parking space from only £89,995 and designer two bedroom, two bathroom apartments with allocated parking space from just £99,995. The Sales Office and new showhomes off Humber Road are daily from 10am – 5pm.
