show homes ROYAL MILLS “Being at the forefront of innovative design, we continuously take inspiration from emerging design trends and incorporate them into our projects.

It’s important that we are flexible and able to adapt to the needs of both our clients and the local buyer’s market to provide the best possible outcomes for those we work alongside.

No matter what the budget or project scale we always strive to deliver the best design scheme for the location.”

Lois Trustram, Lead Designer

A Grade II listed building, Royal Mills has been recognised as a part of our Nation’s longstanding industrial heritage - with Ancoats itself being referred to as the cradle of the industrial revolution. Imbued with character and boasting a history stretching back to the 18th century, the Mill spent a number of years in disrepair before being developed into modern apartments for Manchester’s thriving professional population.

When working within rapidly expanding markets, efficiency is of the utmost importance - our initial design schemes for this project were produced within a matter of days, and the entire design process was completed within two weeks. Years of industry experience, combined with close relationships with suppliers enabled our team to produce a unique layout while keeping within the developer’s budget of £50,000.

Our design capabilities are not limited to simply sourcing items from third parties.

Lois Trustram led the design of Royal Mills, and went as far as to create custom artwork for the project to provide this development with a unique edge over the competition.

Items for the project were sourced from local flea markets and vintage fairs, all carefully selected for their ability to reference the specific history of this building while offering

more general appeal to viewing audiences.

Our actively work to present buyers with items that best evoke emotional responses that lead to purchase decisions.

Fittings were chosen to deliberately create a sense of nostalgia, calling upon individuals’ personal experiences and their expectations of a building from this period - and the effectiveness of this was easily visible in the market performance of these apartments.

show homes CARMEL GATE Located on the site of the Carmelite Monastery built in 1906, apartments at Carmel Gate in Golders Green presented viewers with a number of distinguishing features including exposed wooden beams, sloped ceilings and unique room shapes.

As buyers may lack familiarity with such locations, home staging provides a much needed visual display of the spaces potential - and ultimately increases buyers’ willingness to make offers.

We provided a collection of full-service interior solution that didn’t draw attention away from the unusual aspects of these apartments, but instead framed them in such a way as to create spaces that were both visually pleasing while reflecting the rich history of the location.

We don’t just stage property to help facilitate a faster sale. Carmel Gate was the perfect opportunity for our team to showcase the full extent of what David Phillips offers within a stimulating environment, and our passion for providing furnishing services of the highest quality to our customers.

Our initial meeting was to arrange the production of show homes in two of the apartments for three months, but after completing the first project we were approached to provide furnishing services for another two property sales and two

residences on behalf of property owners who wanted to recreate the same high-end appearance within their own properties.

Upon completion of the project twelve weeks later, two of the available apartments were successfully tenanted, a third was purchased outright, and we produced a fully bespoke interior solution for another resident who was impressed by our work. We’re also currently waiting to hear back from another interested potential customer.
