Housebuilder decorates showhome with items from surrounding businesses as part of its community initiative
Local housebuilder has decorated its Egham showhome with items from independent businesses to support local talent.
To recognise the talent surrounding Egham, Cala Homes (Thames) has adorned its 3 bedroom Foxglove home at the Maple Croft development with a selection of products from well-known local businesses.
This programme is part of Cala Homes’ Showhome of Support, a thoughtful initiative that promotes local talent and businesses, providing them with a unique way to spotlight their products to a wider audience in a real-life setting – a wonderful way to build community connections.
The project was created as part of Cala’s wider Community Pledge, which is rolled out across developments with the aim of fostering long-lasting positive social change in the areas it builds.
Through this commitment, the housebuilder adds value to the community through investing time and collaborating with residents through meaningful activities, such as school workshops, volunteering, donations, sponsorships, and bursaries.
At the development, you will find the following businesses and products featured:
Ankerwycke Candles – In one of the bedrooms is a scented white musk candle, lovingly hand-poured by Wendy, who founded Ankerwycke Candles five years ago after feeling that other room scents on the market just weren’t fragrant enough. Each candle is crafted from premium soy wax and eco-friendly wicks, making them kind to the planet.
Cotton Dreams - The luxurious scent in the ensuite has been carefully hand-poured at Cotton Dreams’ workshop in Surrey. The diffuser adds an elegant touch with its classic black and silver finishings and brightens the room with its refreshing aroma. The team at Cotton Dreams is dedicated to creating premium scents that bring a sense of calm and comfort to any space.
Egham Artisans– Located in the kitchen is a beautiful piece of woodwork that has been lovingly crafted with food lovers in mind: the pestle and mortar. Purchased from Egham Artisans, a creative collective that brings together local artists at its shop and workshop on Egham High Street. Its simple design makes it the perfect addition to any dinner party, with freshly ground herbs and spices on hand to elevate any dish.
Laksh Botanica – In the family bathroom, a pair of handcrafted, triple-buttered soaps sit on an accompanying natural soap dish designed by Laksh Botanica, based in Egham. They are dedicated to providing customers with 100% natural and vegan-friendly skincare products that not only protect our skin but the planet.
Blue Squid Productions - On the kitchen counter sits a terrarium, designed by the green-fingered team at Blue Squid Creation in Addlestone. It has been created to ensure the beautiful flora encased, in upcycled glass, has a sustainable ecosystem where it can flourish and last for years to come. Each miniature garden has been carefully handmade and is uniquely its own due to the different varieties of plants.
Genevieve’s Gallery -Making one of the bedrooms its new home is a dainty bird ornament, which is perched on the shelf. The charming decoration has been thoughtfully made by Genevieve at her Pottery Painting Café and Gallery in Englefield Green, which neighbours the Maple Croft development.
Turtle Clips – In one of the bedrooms, you’ll find a pair of colourful child sandals, designed by the family brand, Turtle Clips, which is based in Eton. Each sandal is thoughtfully designed with kids in mind, from every poolside dip to discovering underwater friends while exploring a rockpool, with a portion of profits supporting turtle conservation because the sea is their home; we’re all just guests.
STS Italian Deli – In the kitchen, a selection of Italian delicacies – pasta in various shapes and sizes accompanied by a traditional sauce from the family-run restaurant and deli, STS Italian Deli, located on Egham’s High Street.
LM Designs – Illuminating bedroom one is a pair of beautifully designed bedside lamps by LM Designs, a Berkshire-based retail store with an eye for stunning interiors, located just a 15-minute drive from the Maple Croft development. The set perfectly ties in with the cream and gold décor, bringing an elevated rustic feel to the space.
Magna Carter Gin - In the kitchen, a bottle of Magna Carta Gin sits proudly, drawing attention with its historic appearance. Inspired by one of the most momentous events in British history that put Runnymede on the map, this expertly crafted blend of flavours combines 13th-century notes with modern distillery practices to transport drinkers back in time.
