The Show Stopper

Styled to capture the attention of young first-time buyers, this two-bedroom show flat reflects the vibrant charm of its seaside surroundings. Designed with a budget-conscious, design-savvy couple in mind, the flat blends bold colour, modern comfort and a few clever styling tricks to make the most of the space.

The open-plan reception room is zoned for everyday living and entertaining, with furnishings and accessories introducing lively colour that contrasts beautifully with the developer’s neutral finishes. Carefully selected vintage finds from Vinterior are paired with affordable, design-led pieces from IKEA and Dunelm, creating a look that’s both achievable and aspirational for the target buyers.

Touches of local character run throughout – from the cheerful green-tiled backsplash to second-hand furniture that echoes the town’s love of vintage and antique shopping. Decorative styling, such as a laid dining table and warm artificial greenery, gives the flat a lived-in feel, while practical choices ensure the space remains low maintenance for viewings.

Every piece has been chosen with versatility in mind – whether sold with the flat, reused in future projects, or passed on second-hand. The result is a fresh, inviting space that offers the perfect starting point for modern coastal living.
