The 5 Best Interior Designers in Edinburgh Infusing Spaces with Personality

✔ Proven track record - A good designer should have strong client reviews and completed projects that show reliability and quality results.

✔ Qualifications and experience - We looked for formal training, professional memberships, and a track record in residential or commercial projects. 

✔ Budget transparency - A good designer should explain fees clearly, whether hourly, fixed, or percentage-based, and help you avoid hidden costs.

✔ Communication and collaboration - They should listen well, understand your needs, and balance creative flair with practical functionality.

Finding the right interior designer feels a bit like matchmaking. Style, function, and personality all need to click without feeling as if you’ve invested time, effort, and money on nothing.

The right designer can turn bare walls into a statement, be it a reimagined Victorian townhouse or a sleek office space. As a homeowner, I know how much of a difference they make in making our spaces truly feel like ours.

Our handpicked Edinburgh designers below are the ones who are shaping spaces with creativity and precision!

How much does an interior designer in Edinburgh charge?

They typically charge £50 to £150 per hour, or offer fixed fees starting from a few hundred pounds per room, with full home projects ranging from £10,000 to over £30,000.
Many also work on a percentage basis, with 10% to 20% of the total project cost, depending on the scale and finishes involved.

1. Studio Bowerbridge (previously Style Your Spaces)

Address: 13 Cargil Terrace

Contact: [email protected] 

Hours: Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM

I first came across Studio Bowerbridge when a neighbour transformed their flat into a minimalist dream, and I had to know who was behind it. 

Their design specialities range from sleek modern spaces to traditional makeovers that still feel and look fresh. 

The team impressed me with their services, offering everything from simple consultations to full redesigns complete with 3D renderings, making it easy to visualise things.

Their portfolio speaks volumes, as well. They’ve done chic city apartments, cosy family homes, and even commercial spaces that balance function with aesthetic punch. I found each project professional-looking while being personal and polished.

Options are tailored to scope and budget, so pricing is straightforward, whether you need a single-room facelift or a full property overhaul. This transparency makes it less intimidating to start on a project.

The only drawback is that they’re in demand, so you’ll need to book ahead. Highly customised projects can also stretch timelines, which might test your patience if you want a quick turnaround.

Pros

  • Rebrand pedigree
  • Versatile aesthetics
  • Process clarity
  • Budget-friendly structuring

Cons

  • High demand
  • Longer timelines for customised projects

It was great to see my ideas come to life

It’s been a great experience working with Katie! She really listens to what you want and uses her beautiful curation of trusted suppliers to create magic. It was great to see my ideas come to life better than I could have thought. It was great that Katie offered alternatives, options to suit different budgets and was always on hand to answer any questions. Would most definitely work with her again and recommend her to anyone who wants help with a quick style update to complete a house update. Thanks so much, Katie!

Cannot recommend enough!

SYS really raise the bar in floral design and is forever sharing the ultimate curation of inspiration, tips and new designs. Store window, party, wreath event, wedding, I highly, highly recommend.

2. BRIC Interiors

Address: 15 Howe Street

Contact: +447734688691

Hours: Monday to Friday, 10 AM–5 PM

My work colleague’s New Town flat suddenly looked like a glossy magazine spread while still feeling lived-in, and she said it was thanks to BRIC Interiors. 

Their sweet spot spans modern minimal to softly traditional, perfect for Edinburgh’s Georgian bones and contemporary tastes. 

My colleague saw the clear process, from quick consult to full redesign, complete with mood boards, CGIs/3D renders, and technical drawings.

It wasn’t just pretty apartments in their portfolio; there’s a luxury New Eidyn build, classic townhouses in The Grange/Murrayfield, and even hospitality-centred facilities like Eorna and a Zest celebrity salon. I like this range: plenty of details but no design whiplash.

I learned the pricing is positioned for bespoke work and quotes to scope, but the team is upfront about what each tier covers. If you want curated materials and custom pieces, they have the network to source them properly.

The cons? Lead times can stretch due to high demand, so book as early as possible. Also, the luxe, tailor-made approach won’t be the cheapest route, though the value shows in the finish.

Pros

  • Immersive planning
  • Serious portfolio range
  • Hands-on resources
  • Professional creds

Cons

  • Premium prices
  • Longer lead times due to high demand

Customer Reviews

Bally is an exceptionally talented woman

Bally did the staging for our home, which she helped us to renovate 7 years ago. We are now moving and chose Bally to help again, because her styling and ideas are not just unique, but so, so beautiful. Bally is an exceptionally talented woman. Thank you!

They had great ideas and options for us 

Bric interiors provided a first-class service with our city centre apartment; they took control of all the furnishing and interior design of our project and all associated work. This made the process very simple and straightforward for us. They had great ideas and options for us to pick from, and used great software to visualise and pick what we liked. We are delighted with the finished product and certainly could not have done it without them. Thank you.

3. Jeffreys Interiors

Address: 8 N W Circus Pl

Contact: +441312478010

Hours: Monday to Saturday, 10 AM–5 PM

I wandered into Jeffreys Interiors’ Stockbridge showroom “just to browse” and left plotting a living room overhaul. They blend bold eclectic touches with calm, modern restraint…very Edinburgh and very livable in equal measure.

The service felt well-organised: start with a chat, then scale to full design and install, with the team herding suppliers and obsessing over details so I didn’t have to. After all, they’ve done everything from single-room redesigns to whole-house transformations.

What sealed it for me was the portfolio range. They’re equally at home on commercial briefs that move the needle, and have done Georgian townhouses, sleek new builds, and even stately homes minus the museum vibe.

Expectations on costs are kept sane, thanks to transparent explanations on scoping, along with lead times and ordering windows managed with refreshingly direct guidance.

However, there’s a lot of buzz around this Edinburgh interior designer, which means they can get crazy busy and hard to book. And if you’re chasing bargain-basement makeovers, their curated, high-touch approach isn’t the cheapest path.

Pros

  • Serious portfolio range
  • Showroom advantage
  • Clear, scalable service

Cons

  • Premium bespoke pricing
  • High demand = harder to book

Customer Reviews

Beautiful interior design approach

Fantastic customer service, beautiful showrooms and beautiful interior design approach. It has been a joy to work alongside on projects with all the Jeffreys team.

A pleasure to work with

First-class products and design; a pleasure to work with.

4. SPLINTR

Address: 4a Carron Pl, Leith

Contact: +441315547658

Hours: Monday to Friday, 8 AM–5 PM

I discovered SPLINTR through a cafe refit that made plywood look couture and concrete feel warm. Their lane is contemporary: modern, minimalist, and clean, but tailored to each brand’s vibe, not a cookie-cutter, copy-paste look.

They’re end-to-end operators, so they can do everything from concept, consultation, 3D/detailing, bespoke fabrication, installation, and even site/project management. A friend who hired them said it felt like getting a designer, joiner, and GC who spoke the same language.

Their portfolio covers indie bookshops to destination dining (quite ambitious!): Portobello Bookshop, Combinico, Timberyard, Ting Thai, and wine bars with a serious mood. It’s all crisp lines, tactile materials, and lighting that flatter both people and products.

The pricing is scoped to be brief, but the in-house build keeps costs and timelines tighter than multi-vendor wrangling. You pay for craft plus coordination, and you see it in the finish.

That said, they’re primarily focused on commercial and hospitality projects, so pure residential makeovers aren’t their core. Also, this popular, award-winning studio books up fast, so prime slots may need planning.

Pros

  • One team, end-to-end delivery
  • Proven complex refits
  • Local workshop for bespoke details
  • Scottish Design awardee

Cons

  • Commercial-first focus
  • Premium prices for bespoke builds

Customer Reviews

The guys were absolutely invested in our vision 

We were lucky enough to work with Splintr to bring to life some ideas we had for our shop in Edinburgh’s West End. The spot had some great natural features, which we were eager to expose whilst implementing modern and striking touches. The guys were absolutely invested in our vision and passionate to make it work to the highest standard within the time frame and financial structure handed to them. I would absolutely hope to work with them again on future projects and have since recommended them on many occasions. Professional and enthusiastic with a real client focus throughout. Thanks, chaps!

We are so happy with the finish and quality of work

Having seen Splintr’s work on social media, I knew that I wanted to work with these guys to create a special space to practice in. It was a pleasure from start to finish. The whole team are super friendly, approachable and open to your ideas whilst putting their spin on things and offering design advice. We are so happy with the finish and quality of work that we would highly recommend and work with them again in the future.

5. Jane Perfect Interiors

Website

Address: The North Quarter, Craigleith Suite, 496 Ferry Rd

Contact: +447718916553

Hours: Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM

I first heard of Jane Perfect Interiors from a cousin who swore her “corridor lounge” finally felt like a room. I visited the site and found the vibe elegant, timeless, and tailored to the home, not trend-chasing.

They start with a proper on-site or Zoom chat, then send a clear fee proposal so you know the costs before the mood boards land. My cousin received floor plans, lighting schemes, material samples, and detailed drawings, not just pretty pictures.

When I looked at their portfolio, I found real homes you want to live in, not soulless hotel lobbies. They mix period charm with contemporary polish: an Arts & Crafts family home in Morningside, a West Lothian custom new build, and a refined New Town Georgian refresh.

The team partners closely with trusted trades for a smooth design-to-install handover. My cousin’s expectations were kept honest and her choices grounded, thanks to transparent, bespoke pricing depending on the scope.

The downside is that there’s no public price list or “per room” package, so you’ll need to consult them for numbers. And with a hands-on approach and in-demand projects, you may have to book ahead for yours. 

Pros

  • Impressive portfolio
  • Early turnkey involvement
  • Clear process and upfront scoping
  • “Best of Houzz” awardee

Cons

  • Small, hands-on studio can get fully booked
  • Bespoke, to-scope fees won’t suit those needing instant makeovers

Customer Reviews

They listened carefully to our requirements as a family

We are incredibly glad we decided to work with Jane Perfect Interiors for our custom-built house. Jane, Kara, Lina and the team worked exceptionally hard throughout our year-long project. They listened carefully to our requirements as a family, discussed options with us and gave us invaluable advice all the way through. They were heavily involved from floor plan design all the way through to 3D modelling and installation/delivery of furniture. They took the stress of organising deliveries and installing furniture away from us, and the communication from start to finish was spot on. The result is more than we could have imagined – we are so happy with the interior of our new home and would not change a thing!

Jane’s ideas were transformative 

Jane and her team were an amazing group to work with. We recently bought a flat that needed everything from painting to furniture selection to layout and installation. Jane excels at clear and prompt communication of ideas, followed by detailed samples and swatches that made decision-making so easy, even from 3,000 miles away. Jane coordinated everything through her network of subcontractors and took all the worry over logistics, delivery and timing out of our hands. Through a few phone calls, emails and video calls, we went from an empty flat to a fully furnished home in a few months. Jane’s ideas were transformative and were things that we would never have thought of ourselves, and that greatly improved the space. We could not have done this without Jane and her team. Thank you.
