Boost for local businesses as Fife showhome opens
Cala Homes has unveiled Showhome of Support within its brand-new five-bedroom Logan showhome at its Hillside Gardens development in Aberdour, spotlighting local businesses from the surrounding community.
The Showhome of Support initiative aims to give small businesses a unique platform to showcase their products to potential homebuyers and residents.
A selection of items for The Logan have been carefully sourced and curated from the local area around Hillside Gardens by interior designer Eileen Kesson of Envision.
In the open plan kitchen, dining and family area, there are natural accessories from Wildbells florist and boutique in nearby Burntisland, alongside a rustic woven lantern from New Hopetoun Gardens and an eye-catching mustard yellow decorative bowl from family-owned lifestyle store, Bel & Etta.
The pantry has been artfully stocked with oils, teas and chutneys from Macauley’s fruit and veg merchant, while Emily Henderson provides luxurious soaps for the bathroom and a pretty owl-themed print.
Pretty Presents has supplied a selection of soaps, candles and fragrance, and nautical-themed kitchenware and cosy soft furnishings have been sourced from Coastal Reflections. Harbour Lane Studio features with a striking glass vase and textured throw, and a framed seaside vista comes courtesy of Cafe at Number 16.
The items have been chosen to complement the showhome’s overall design, which is inspired by its prime location on the Fife coast. Sandy and yellow hues are accented with russet and chocolate colours to capture a seaside palette, while a sense of airiness and tranquillity is created through nature-inspired wall coverings, dark woods and cool palettes.
Each business featured is highlighted with bespoke Showhome of Support labels throughout the property as part of the drive to encourage shopping local.
Elaine Carrgian, Sales and Marketing Director at Cala Homes (East), said: “It’s great to see our Showhome of Support initiative come to life in Aberdour.
“It’s a terrific way to champion local businesses, and our new showhome at Hillside Gardens is full of unique touches thanks to these fantastic creators. From artwork and soaps to artisan food and accessories, the home reflects the character of the area, and we hope it encourages visitors to explore and support these local retailers.”
Cala’s Hillside Gardens development offers a collection of four- and five-bedroom homes in a prime coastal community designed around beaches, woodland walks and village life, with three-bedroom homes to follow.
