Showhome at Hawkhead Mews Celebrates Paisley’s Artistic Heritage

Posted: 15th January 2025

A brand-new showhome, inspired by Paisley’s rich artistic heritage and iconic textile history, has officially opened its doors to the public at Cruden Homes’ popular Hawkhead Mews development. Located just a mile from Paisley’s vibrant town centre, The Goudie is a beautifully designed three-bedroom townhouse, with interiors by Claire Murray of Get Fully Furnished.

Taking inspiration from Paisley’s vibrant art scene, the showhome incorporates clear references to the town’s rich textile industry and creative legacy. It seamlessly blends bold colours, layered textures, and contemporary artistic flair, resulting in a home that exudes both style and comfort. The exterior features unique coloured bricks that reflect the art deco style of neighbouring properties, ensuring The Goudie stands out as an architectural gem in the local housing market.

The ground floor features an open-plan living and dining area, a separate kitchen, and a convenient WC. The first floor includes two additional bedrooms, a versatile study that can serve as a home office, nursery, or playroom, and a stylish family bathroom. The principal bedroom occupies the second floor, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom. The flexible layout makes The Goudie an ideal choice for downsizers, young professionals, growing families, or those seeking a home that adapts to evolving needs.

Claire Murray from Get Fully Furnished, said: “We wanted to reflect the artistic inspiration of Paisley and the rich cultural touchpoints that come with it throughout the wallpaper and styling. We selected textured and pattern-clashing wallpapers and artwork, paired with a bold colour palette.

“We carefully curated patterns that are subtle yet impactful, balancing texture and tone to create a cohesive and inviting space. Our favourite area is the primary bedroom, where we chose a deep auburn hue that instantly creates a cosy, welcoming atmosphere.”

The Goudie is part of a boutique development that emphasises community living and Cruden Homes’ commitment to quality shines through in every detail, making this an exceptional offering for today’s homebuyers.

Hazel Davies, Sales & Marketing Director at Cruden Homes, said: “We aim for each of our showhomes to be a true reflection of the atmosphere and vibe of the area. With Paisley’s rich cultural and artistic heritage, we’ve been able to showcase the town’s unique character in this home.

“We’ve already seen strong interest in earlier releases at Hawkhead Mews, and we expect the latest release of The Goudie townhouses to be extremely popular. With flexible living solutions, it offers a peaceful yet connected lifestyle for families, working professionals, and anyone seeking boutique tranquillity near the town centre and within easy reach of Glasgow.”
