Instyle Direct Powers Final-Phase Furnishings at Bankside Gardens New Build Apartments

Bankside Gardens in Reading, Berkshire, by St Edward (part of the Berkeley Group), is a standout waterside development combining lakeside serenity with modern city convenience. It features sleek one- and two-bedroom apartments spread across a landscaped site with a private lake, parkland, and on-site amenities. This setting calls for interiors that match its refined but accessible feel, which we’ve been delivering.

Since March 2024, InStyle Direct has furnished multiple homes at Bankside Gardens, working closely with buyers, landlords, and investors to transform empty apartments into warm, market-ready homes. With final phases released, we’re building on our strong track record here to support even more buyers and investors with our full range of furnishing services.

While the first residents moved in between March and June 2024, the complete development, including the last lakeside block, is expected to be ready by Q2 2025. It’s being completed on a unit-by-unit basis, which means if you’re moving in now, your new home might already be finished or close to completion.

Our furnishings reflect the luxurious feel of the development, while remaining cost-effective. From stylish Investor Packs and Gold Furniture Packs to bespoke Homeowner and Diamond Packs, our offerings cover all types of buyers, while maintaining our design, speed, and quality standard.

Design-led Furnishings for Bankside Gardens’ Modern City Retreat

Bankside Gardens is one of Reading’s most talked-about new neighbourhoods, developed by the renowned Berkeley Group under the St Edward brand. Designed for modern professionals, it’s a blend of sleek architecture, private balconies, green spaces, and a lakeside lifestyle, just 23 minutes by train from London Paddington.

Each home has been designed with clean lines, generous glazing and smart layouts. As the phased construction wraps up through 2024 and into Q2 2025, more residents are moving in. This is the ideal time to furnish a home that’s ready for living or letting.

We aim to complement the high design standards of Bankside Gardens with furniture packs that match both the style and practical needs of each home. For landlords looking to create a premium finish, our Diamond Packs offer coordinated styling and durable, high-quality furnishings throughout every room. Also, our Homeowner Packs are thoughtfully designed to create warm, inviting spaces, tailored to maximise natural light and make the most of every inch.

If you’re a buyer keen to let quickly, our Investor Packs provide a complete, ready-to-move-in solution with neutral palettes and smart, functional pieces. For those seeking both style and value, our Gold Packs are the ideal choice, perfect for first-time buyers or landlords managing multiple units.

Our services are designed not just for looks, but for real-world use; whether it’s fast tenant turnaround, long-term living, or adding value to your property.
