My client and our goals

My clients had recently purchased this large and spacious penthouse in the heart of Edinburgh, with panoramic windows giving stunning views of the city. As a new-build property, it was a blank canvas, and they wanted to add some character and create a cosy, warm and comfortable environment. The couple were looking for a bold, minimal, contemporary look that’s both practical and stylish, with geometric shapes, high-end brands and the finest quality materials. So my interior design style was a perfect fit for them.

Living Room

The living room is divided into two parts; A space for relaxing and watching TV, and a lounge area for informal conversation. Both zones feature custom-made silk and wool rugs of different sizes, which link both spaces together. The layout really takes advantage of the incredible views, with seating by the large windows. While the pendant lanterns in white mouth-blown glass, add soft and ambient lighting.

Master Bedroom

In the master bedroom, a statement wall features a bespoke decorative mural. Mounted wall lights, and an elegant new dressing table and chair complement the client’s existing standing mirror, and a chic white glass light hangs from the ceiling like a cloud.

Gentleman’s Home
Office

The couple each required their own spaces to work and spend time. So for the gentleman, I designed this man cave with an industrial style of décor. Bringing in sleek metal and wood aesthetics and using a mix of urban-inspired textures. Such as micro cement walls and built-in wardrobe doors with a rusty metal finish. Above the workstation is a delightful messaging display, inspired by airport departure boards, that can be controlled from anywhere. Plants soften the space and make it cosy and inviting.

Lady’s Studio

This room has a very particular L-shape, which I divided in two zones. An area for work, and a comfy reading space. Here, I made the most of the natural light and added sophisticated features with a feminine touch. To balance the angular shape of the room, I selected soft, round forms for the office furnishings, lighting and display pieces. With dark, elegant furniture to display books and accessories, and beautiful wall-mounted plants to create a contemporary focal point.
