Feel inspired by the interior design of the Cheltenham show home at Violet Meadows, Whittlesey
Allison Homes Central has unveiled its new four bedroom Cheltenham show home at Violet Meadows, a development of 175 new-build homes on Drybread Road in Whittlesey, near Peterborough. Created with Artspace Interior Design, the show home combines contemporary countryside styling with practical ideas for modern family living.
The Cheltenham showcases how thoughtful layouts, calming colours and layered textures can create a welcoming and characterful home.
The interiors take inspiration from Violet Meadows’ semi-rural Fenland setting, using warm neutrals, chalky blues, natural wood finishes and subtle gold accents to reflect the surrounding landscape.
Katie from Artspace Interior Design explained: “We wanted the design to tell the story of relaxed countryside living with a refined edge. The interiors were created to feel calm, welcoming and aspirational, balancing the practicalities of family life with moments of comfort and retreat.
“Our aim was to create a timeless and elegant home that feels luxurious while remaining warm, relatable and achievable for prospective buyers.”
The Cheltenham show homes features a subtle sense of Scandinavian calm. Practical furniture layouts, durable materials, versatile pieces, carefully selected finishes and thoughtfully planned lighting demonstrate how every room can function effectively without compromising on warmth, comfort or personality.
The home also reflects several popular interior trends, including textured wallcoverings, soft earthy neutrals, panelling, bespoke joinery and multifunctional spaces. Bouclé fabrics, woven materials, upholstered furniture, linens and wool throws have also been layered throughout the home to add warmth and depth.
How are the bedrooms decorated in the Cheltenham show home?
The main bedroom features soft textures, elegant wallpaper details and a hotel-inspired finish, creating an indulgent but achievable space where buyers can imagine unwinding at the end of the day.
Each of the additional bedrooms have also been given their own identities. One children’s room features an archaeology-inspired theme, while another has been styled for an aspiring journalist, using artwork and carefully selected accessories.
The fourth bedroom has been transformed into a versatile study and guest space, complete with a day bed, demonstrating how homeowners can create a room that adapts to working, hobbies and overnight visitors.
Katie continued: “We’re particularly proud of the way artwork and styling have been used to give each room its own personality and narrative. Rather than treating the bedrooms as generic spaces, we created individual stories for the people who might live there. These personal touches help visitors imagine not just how the home looks, but how it could feel to live there.”
How can you recreate the Violet Meadows show home look?
For homeowners hoping to bring the polished appearance of a show home into their own property, Artspace Interior Design recommends beginning with a cohesive colour palette and building the scheme gradually.
Katie said: “Start with a simple palette that flows throughout the home, then introduce layers of texture through fabrics, wallpaper, artwork and accessories. Quality window treatments and lighting can make a significant difference, while one or two statement pieces will create a focal point without overwhelming the room.
“It’s also important to keep spaces uncluttered and consider how each room will be used. A successful interior should feel inviting and beautifully styled, but it must also work for everyday life.”
