British developer Abel Homes said the model home at its latest development comes with one very realistic detail -- a messy teenager's room.

Maggie Abel, director of Abel Homes, said she based the teenager's room at the Old Catton, England, model home on her own son's room when he was a teen 10 years ago, The Daily Mail reported Monday.

I've always found show homes are a bit bland and unreal, so we decided to create something that was more true to life, Abel said. I just thought it would be totally unrealistic to have a teenage boy's bedroom looking pristine and perfect, so we deliberately made it as messy as possible.

I managed to find a fake pizza, a plastic sandwich and an apple and made it look as if they had just been dumped under the bed to rot, she said. I also covered the walls in posters and flags and spread around some old T-shirts and a pair of trainers belonging to the 15-year-old son of a woman I work with.
