Redrow show homes take centre stage

The glitz of the West End stage and silver screen is coming to Leek – in the shape of two new show apartments designed around classic productions Miss Saigon and My Fair Lady.

The apartments – one of which is brand new and the other in a renovated building – are in the spotlight at Redrow’s opulent St Edward’s Park development in Cheddleton, near Leek.

The two-bedroom Miss Saigon-themed home uses a mix of colours featured in key scenes and worn by characters, including cream, navy, khaki green and red.

Designers have gone to the ‘sun and moon’ and back to create the theme, which in the lounge includes a base colour of cream to contrast with the warm red Japanese sofa and oriental fresh khaki green cushions, while glitzy white and cream cushions give the room a more glamorous feel. The oriental display is completed with distressed black furniture and footstools.

The first of the two bedrooms uses prominent wallpaper adorned with navy-coloured flowers and matching roman blinds. The striking centre piece is a real bamboo bed, lit from underneath, with a spray of bamboo shoots behind it. The bed is finished with black and cream bed linen and khaki green bamboo design cushions.

‘The heat is on’ in the second bedroom, themed as a Vietnamese club which American soldiers visit. A black velvet chaise lounge and a red oriental trunk compliment the feature wall which depicts the show’s famous helicopter scene, while the roman blinds are made up of Vietnamese and USA flags.

Over in the second apartment – a renovated Victorian property - show home designers have turned to stage and film classic My Fair Lady for their inspiration, ensuring a resounding ‘yes’ to the question ‘Wouldn’t it be loverly’.

They’ve updated the classic production with sharp, black modern details on a calm grey and ivory background.
