Taylor Wimpey/New Built Homes Interior Design

Hi all,
Visited the show homes some time back and fell in love with all the interior appliances and items in the Taylor Wimpey Show Homes. Just wanted to see if any websites that specialise in all the commodities found inside the show homes?

    If you are wanting to replicate a look you saw in a show home, your best bet would be to get in contact with the developer as the majority have interior designers who take care of that side of things.

    The appliances will all be off the shelf stuff. 

    In our David Wilson new build all of the inbuilt kitchen appliances that the house came with are Electolux. They are a double oven, six burner hob and extractor hood to suit.

    The electric showers are Aqualisa and the toilets, sinks and baths are Sottini.
  • Thanks for this! 
    I'm particularly interested in the furniture and interior objects within the house? Sofas/dining table/chairs/ornaments etc ?

    They'll be different for different house designs, & some of the items aren't "real" or are not very practical.
    Some of the furniture isn't even full size.


    Notice how the dining chairs are pushed right under. Is there space to actually sit at that table on the wall side?
    Not much seating, no other furniture, no tv, no tall lamps etc. Also notice that the furniture is a very similar colour to the walls & carpet, which makes it recede into the background, tricking you into thinking the space is bigger.

    There is nothing in the show homes that can not be reproduced using what is available on the high street.

    It's the interior designer, rather than the objects.

    Virtually all showroom furniture would be available retail and you could probably get the details from the developer or at least the name of the designer used. They may well have sourced everything from one supplier. Some developers sell off show house contents as seen when development completed

    As edgex says, many show homes are furnished with undersize furniture in order to make the space look bigger than it really is.  What looks like a good layout in a show home can be totally impractical in the real world.
    Would it not be better to use the showhome design as a basis for your own ideas rather than simply replicating somebody else's?
  • Hi. Interested in how to remodel a bedroom? I want to change my bedroom, inexpensive but original. I will be grateful for the recommendations.

  • That carpet will get manky if you intend to eat at the table and come in from the garden. 
    I’ve seen that dining table and chairs in IKEA very similar.
