Viewforth | Whiteburn

Welcome to our Sinclair show home

One question we are often asked is will my furniture fit? This is often asked by those looking to move home or downsize. We believe that a new home is the perfect place for loved furniture which has been part of people’s life.

At Whiteburn we love to give things new life. We love to work within the communities we build. We wanted the show home to demonstrate that a new home can give new life to existing furniture and that you can furnish your home from the many local suppliers and shops in your area.

Our Concept

We wanted to bring a piece of MacIntosh of Kirkcaldy furniture into our show home. Kirkcaldy has a rich history of furniture manufacturing through McIntosh of Kirkcaldy. The high point of McIntosh design was in the 1960s when their mid-century modern style furniture was essential for the chic modern home. We have carefully curated McIntosh and mid-century pieces together with several contemporary pieces to create a home influenced by this era, including pieces by Stag, G-Plan and Barcelona chairs. We believe that this re-use and occasional upcycling of furniture is both sustainable, affordable and contextual.

We have worked with many local shops, charities and artists to furnish our show home. We believe its important to reduce waste, embrace the joy of upcycling as there are many pieces of great furniture looking for a new home. It is equally important to support local makers and creative talent. We have aimed to source art, furniture and soft furnishings from within the 30-mile radius of the development to showcase the local network available to new home owners.

We always design our homes to be contextual to their location, consequently we felt it was appropriate to carry this into the show home. Our colour schemes, floorings and textures are all chosen to compliment the mid-century modern theme. We have selected colours from the Dulux Heritage Range to give contemporary pops of colours into rooms, together with wallpaper from UK designer Mini Moderns.

Choices to style your home

The ground floor open plan spaces are floored throughout in Khars flooring to showcase the flow of the homes design and the flexible spaces. The stairs, landing and bedrooms have carpet in Whiteburn Twist Seabreeze. This demonstrates optional flooring available to purchasers for flooring, carpets and entrance mats.

Tiling choices in the home demonstrate standard tile ranges options available to purchasers. The proximity of the development to the sea has been brought into the ground floor cloakroom with the use of Capietra’s Lily Pad tiles in Peacock blue and the local Fife cost tidal map.

Option choices have also been showcased in the bathrooms, with use of standard chrome fittings in the family bathroom and stylish mat black upgrades in the master bedroom ensuite, together with fitted vanity units. Whiteburn aim to provide ‘on trend’ design options to discerning purchasers.

We have furnished our Show Home with choices from high street suppliers, pre-owned furniture and local makers who upcycle and create lovely new unique items. We all have a piece of beloved furniture, and not everyone can or should buy everything brand new when there are so many great ways to incorporate older pieces and memories into your new home. We all know that buying a new home is probably the biggest financial commitment you will make, and we wanted to show that you can furnish your home simply and to a budget, and then just fill it with love.
