Pupils become Interior Designers with a little help from Asprey Homes

Pupils at Tunbury Primary School became interior designers when they were asked by award-winning housebuilder Asprey Homes to design a children’s bedroom for its forthcoming Show Home at Ashleigh Gardens, Blue Bell Hill, Kent.

As part of the After School Club, the children, aged seven to eleven, let their imagination run wild designing rooms inspired by the environment and conservation. Entries featured animal themed furniture, and a vivid colour palette, which were then judged by Asprey Homes, who were so impressed with the work that choosing just one winner, proved quite a challenge. The winner Hollie Taylor (10) was presented with a book token, in addition to her design becoming a reality at the forthcoming Show Home, while the runner up Morgan Rees (8) who designed a jungle inspired room, was also presented with a book token.

Bruce Walker, Chief Executive for Asprey Homes, comments; “My team really enjoyed looking through all the designs, which were all very different and showed a lot of creativity. It was a very difficult decision, but they finally chose Hollie and Morgan as the winner and runner-up. Both designs showed great skill and imagination, but it was Hollie’s idea, which we felt really engaged with the green theme.

Mary White, who organises the After School Club at Tunbury School, comments; “This has been a superb opportunity for our pupils, as it not only draws on their artistic and creative abilities, but the green theme encouraged the children to think about their environment. The children really enjoyed the competition, which is why I will be taking the concept forward and we will be creating 3D models in the winter term. I would like to thank Asprey Homes for supporting our club and we look forward to seeing Hollie’s winning entry, made a reality in the Show Home at Ashleigh Gardens.”

Ashleigh Gardens is a delightful development of three and four bedroom homes. Ideally located near Maidstone and Rochester, discerning purchasers will not have to go far for a variety of shops, restaurants and amenities, while still enjoying the picturesque views that Blue Bell Hill has to offer, being the highest point in Kent.
