Step inside our show home at Old Dalby

Visitors to our new show home at Old Dalby are being welcomed into a space designed to feel calm, timeless and effortlessly homely.

Interior designer Sarah from Fig Home Interiors drew inspiration from the development's beautiful countryside setting and the character of the peaceful Leicestershire village.

"The location on the edge of Old Dalby is gorgeous," said Sarah. "The development already feels established and has a real personality. The homes offer fabulous space both inside and out, which isn't always the case with new-build developments."

Rather than creating a show home focused on bold statement pieces, Sarah's vision was one of understated elegance.

"I wanted the home to feel calming, soft and approachable," she explained. "Interior trends can date quickly, so it was important to create a timeless design that will stand the test of time."

Throughout the property, neutral tones are complemented by carefully chosen accents, including William Morris wallpaper in the master bedroom and rich olive green tones in the second bedroom. Traditional details such as tongue-and-groove panelling pay homage to the area's farmhouse heritage, while shaker-style furniture and textured soft furnishings add warmth and character.

The family-focused design also includes a woodland-themed children's bedroom, creating a welcoming environment for buyers to imagine everyday life.

Sarah's favourite space is the impressive kitchen diner.

"The kitchen diner is really special. With the island at its heart, it's open, fresh, bright and incredibly homely. Nothing felt squeezed into this house - the rooms are so generous in size, which allowed us to achieve everything we wanted."

She also highlighted the spacious living room, furnished to demonstrate the flexibility of the space, and the beautifully finished family bathroom with its striking Porcelanosa tiles.

Sarah hopes visitors leave feeling reassured and inspired.

"This isn't a flashy show home - it's a home delivered without compromise. Everything is about quality, comfort and understated luxury. We want customers to feel soothed, reassured and able to picture themselves living here.

"We wanted to create a home you'll look forward to coming back to. After a busy day at work, there's a real sense of calm in arriving home to the countryside, where you can unwind, recharge and enjoy the space around you."

The Old Dalby show home opens for visitors this Saturday. We look forward to welcoming you.
