And finally… blend it like Beckham

And finally... blend it like Beckham

A show home has opened at a development of new homes in East Calder featuring a karaoke room and a kitchen inspired by David Beckham.

Almondell on Calderwood Road is a development of 66 three, four, five and six-bedroom homes by Robertson Homes.

The housebuilder has now released interior images of the five-bedroom Murray Garden Room show home, the open plan kitchen dining area of which features a designer Ashley Ann kitchen with cupboards fitted up to the extra-high ceiling, after the interior designers were inspired by this design in David Beckham’s own kitchen.



The former footballer’s passion for cooking was revealed in the Netflix documentary into the family’s life, which showed David’s kitchen skills and his obsession for having everything in its place.

As well as the vast house kitchen with giant oak table, the couple’s Cotswold mansion also boasts a cooking tent where he prepped meals for al fresco dining.

The Beckham-inspired kitchen at Almondell also has a giant weathered oak dining table which can easily seat 12 people and two large iron-framed mirrors bounce light and reflection around the ideal entertaining space.

Sharon Spinelli, sales and marketing director at Robertson Homes, said: “Our show homes are the window to allow people to see how their lives may look in a new Robertson development and we continue to push the boundaries and showcase beautiful and inventive interior design in an aspirational way which our customers can achieve themselves.



“The Murray Garden Room was designed with an established family in mind, perhaps with children away at University and Sixth Form, as we wanted to show how the home can be flexible with the changing demands of life.

“The launch was a huge success and the feedback we received from house hunters was entirely positive. Visitors particularly liked the way we have re-purposed fixtures and furniture to show how great design can also be sustainable. A timber trough has been reclaimed to become a large planter for the dining table and old printing blocks from a former printing press now make attractive and interesting storage drawers. It’s the little touches like this which inspire people to think about how they can incorporate interesting and unusual pre-loved items to make statement pieces.”
