Think you could turn a blank canvas into a show home people instantly want to live in? St. Modwen Homes is searching for a brilliant interior design partner to help create two brand-new show homes in the West of Scotland, and egg is helping them find them.
They’re looking for someone who can create spaces that feel aspirational, contemporary and liveable. Someone with plenty of creative flair, a strong eye for detail and the commercial understanding to help shape the look and feel of St. Modwen Homes as the housebuilder moves into Scotland. Sound like it could be you?
Here's what you need to know...
From colour palettes, textures and furniture to lighting, artwork and those smaller finishing touches that pull a room together, St. Modwen Homes want to see a strong, cohesive vision that flows throughout the homes. They're looking for an interior designer or creative business to transform the 4 and 5-bedroom show homes into somewhere buyers can instantly picture themselves living.
And they’re not looking for copy-and-paste interiors or rooms built around fleeting trends. They want personality, fresh thinking and someone with the confidence to bring their own creative point of view to the project.
Our very own egg head Kylie Reid is joining the judging panel. And she knows exactly what she’ll be looking for:
“I want to see someone who’s bold enough to back their own ideas. I’ll be judging with my gut and thinking: does this room make me want to move in?”
A Scottish first
St. Modwen Homes may be new to Scotland, but it certainly isn’t new to housebuilding. Its expansion north of the border and into the West of Scotland makes this particular design brief even more exciting.
These show homes are an opportunity to create something fresh for the brand, developing a contemporary look and feel that could help set the tone for future developments across the region.
The winning design partner will work closely with the St. Modwen Homes site and sales teams to take the concepts from storyboard to finished rooms. So, alongside creative flair, they’re looking for someone who can manage the practical and commercial side of delivering a project of this scale.
What you'll need to submit to be considered
You need to create a storyboard. Your proposal needs to show how you would approach both show homes. The properties offer different design opportunities, so the judges will be looking for the creative range to give each one a clear and individual identity.
Your application should include:
- Your overall design concept and vision
- Storyboards showing your proposed colours, textures, furniture, styling and décor
- A detailed cost schedule
- A company profile outlining your business and relevant experience
- Confirmation that you operate a UK-registered business
How to enter
To enter, email your proposal to [email protected] by 31st October 2026.
Once entries close, the judging panel will review all those creative ideas, with the successful design partner announced on 1st December 2026 and contacted directly by the St. Modwen Homes team.
