The interior design of the homes in Scotland is aimed at designing beautiful yet functional homes that depict personal lifestyles without interfering with the rich architectural heritage of the country. In fine Georgian townhouses and old fashioned cottages, up-to-date apartments and new housing units, Scottish interior designers combine the vintage style and modern lifestyle. Every project starts with an understanding of the vision of the client who wants to make each space properly planned and designed.
Professional residential interior designers in Scotland handle the entire design process which includes the space planning, colour schemes, lighting design, furniture selection, design and bespoke joinery. Their work is highly focused on attention to detail, a great deal of emphasis is made on quality materials, crafts, and balanced layouts that contribute to comfort and usability. Natural lighting, proportions and textures also become the considerations of the designers who want to make natural interiors of their houses cozy and welcoming, in accordance with the plain features of the climate and lifestyle of Scotland.
It can be a complete home makeover, a one-room makeover or even a redesign of the entire interior of the house, but in any case, residential interior design services provide personalized services customized to feel personal and practical. With a mix of creativity, technical skills, and the knowledge of the modern life, the Scottish interior designers can make houses look stylish, welcoming, and created to be enjoyed during many years.
I established Lally Walford Interiors about 15 years ago, having worked in the interiors industry since early 2000. I grew up in an interior design environment – my mother has run a successful interior design business since before I can remember – and, having worked for a few years in London at an advertising agency, I decided to train properly in interior design and commit to what I suspected that I had always wanted to do. I have worked in London, Sydney and North Yorkshire and, following our move to Scotland in 2005, have established a wonderful, loyal and ever-increasing client base both here and further afield.
This was a single room project for clients in Edinburgh. It was a room that they tended not to use very much because, decoratively, it simply didn’t appeal. The brief was to create a cosy, comfortable, relaxed room incorporating character and colour in which the family could sit and watch TV, play snooker and spend time with friends.
This spacious, 4-bed apartment in Stockbridge has been untouched since the overseas owner purchased it several years earlier and the time had come for a full refurb. He owned a lot of period furniture, some of which was in place in the flat and some of which was being moved in from a second property, so the room layouts needed to accommodate as many of these items as possible without over-filling the rooms and the overall design needed to work sympathetically to incorporate an array of pieces.
