Bar Interior Design

At Yuliya Forrest Interior Design, we provide professional design services for bars, pubs, and restaurants, creating interiors that combine atmosphere, functionality, and commercial success. Whether it’s a modern cocktail lounge, a traditional pub in Aberdeen, or a fine-dining restaurant in Edinburgh or Glasgow, each project is tailored to reflect the brand identity and attract loyal customers.

One of Yuliya Forrest’s first projects in Scotland — The Parkway Bar in Aberdeen — immediately received wide recognition and was ranked among the Top 5 Best Bars in Europe. This milestone reflects the level of creativity, attention to detail, and commitment that defines every hospitality project.
Unlike many designers who focus only on visual aesthetics, Yuliya analyses the target audience, visitor expectations, and business goals of each client. This approach ensures that the spaces she creates are not only beautiful but also profitable. Her hospitality projects in Scotland have already proven that a well-designed interior can significantly increase customer flow, strengthen brand loyalty, and generate impressive revenue for business owners

Commercial Bar & Restaurant Design

Designing a bar or restaurant is not only about choosing stylish furniture or lighting — it’s about creating a complete guest experience that encourages people to stay longer and return again.
Our bar and restaurant projects often include:

  • Reception and entrance areas that set the mood from the first step
  • Zoning of seating areas for different guest groups — from private tables to communal zones
  • Bar counters and cocktail stations designed for workflow efficiency and visual impact
  • Lighting and acoustics that create ambience and comfort
  • Decor and furniture selection that reflect the concept and target audience

From boutique wine bars in Aberdeen, to trendy cocktail lounges in Glasgow, and restaurants in Edinburgh, we provide design services tailored to the scale and concept of each business.

Our Approach

Every hospitality project is developed step by step:

  • Concept development and planning solutions
  • 3D visualisations and sketches to present the atmosphere
  • Construction drawings and technical documentation
  • Selection of furniture, lighting, materials, and decorative elements
  • Author supervision and coordination with contractors

We provide bar & restaurant interior design services in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, across Scotland, and worldwide — always with a focus on stylish design, functionality, and commercial results.


Frequently Asked Questions

Because interior design is not just about colours and cushions - it’s about how you live, feel, and function in your space.
When you start a renovation, you are already investing time, money, and emotions. Construction work in the UK is expensive and stressful - and mistakes cost even more to fix.
Yuliya Forrest, an experienced interior designer based in Scotland, helps you turn that stress into an enjoyable creative process. She listens carefully, defines your goals (even when you’re not sure what you want yet), and translates them into a well-planned, timeless design that truly works for you.

Renovation is a long chain of decisions: where to put sockets, how to plan lighting, what height the tiles should reach, which wall should carry colour.
Yuliya coordinates it all - from builder communication to material sourcing - so you can focus on the excitement of transformation, not the chaos of construction.
She prepares detailed plans and visuals, supervises the process, and solves questions before they turn into problems. You’ll have one clear voice managing your project - not a dozen contractors calling you every day.

That’s perfectly fine. Most clients start by saying, “I just know what I don’t like.”
Through conversation, mood boards, and visual examples, Yuliya helps you discover your own aesthetic - even if you can’t describe it yet. Together you define what “home” truly means to you, and she brings that to life with balance, warmth, and functionality.

Yes - and often a lot of it.
Designers don’t just make spaces prettier; they prevent costly mistakes. Yuliya knows the market, trusted suppliers, and the technical side of construction. She ensures the right materials are chosen, orders are placed on time, and the overall layout is logical and efficient.
With her experience, you avoid:

  • Buying the wrong materials or quantities.
  • Paying twice for the same job because of unclear plans.
  • Overpaying contractors for design decisions that should have been made earlier.

In the end, a designer doesn’t increase your renovation budget - she helps you spend it wisely.

Homes in Scotland often come with their own character - beautiful stone walls, period details, or unique layouts.
Yuliya understands the local architecture, the building regulations, and the reality of working with Scottish trades. She also knows how to combine classic charm with modern comfort - creating interiors that feel timeless, warm, and authentically Scottish.
Whether it’s a flat in Aberdeen or a countryside home near Edinburgh, Yuliya creates designs that adapt to the northern light, climate, and lifestyle - cozy, atmospheric, and elegant.

Because in commercial design - every detail speaks to your customer.
A well-designed interior is not a luxury; it’s a business tool. Yuliya designs bars, cafés, event halls, offices, and retail spaces where atmosphere equals revenue.
She analyses your target audience, understands how colour affects appetite, mood, and behaviour, and creates interiors that attract and retain clients.
From zoning and acoustics to lighting and durability - every element works together to build your brand identity.
“A great commercial interior doesn’t just look good - it makes your customers feel good, and that’s what keeps them coming back.”

Because space communicates before you do.
Your clients notice lighting, textures, sound, and flow - often subconsciously. A designer shapes that experience to align with your brand’s personality.
A well-thought design can:

  • Increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.
  • Encourage longer stays and higher spending.
  • Improve team productivity and morale.
  • Reflect professionalism and trustworthiness.

Good design isn’t an expense - it’s an investment with measurable return.

As every project is different, pricing is tailored to each client's requirements.

Fees are based on factors such as the size and complexity of the project, the number of rooms, the scope of work, the level of detail, and the required delivery timeframe.

Depending on the project, the fee may be calculated per square metre or as a fixed design fee.

Following an initial consultation, you will receive a bespoke quotation with a clear breakdown of the proposed services.

Each project includes:

  • Concept development and moodboards
  • Floor plans, lighting and electrical drawings
  • Material and furniture selection
  • 3D visualisations or hand sketches
  • Procurement support and coordination
  • Site supervision upon request

Every detail is tailored to your lifestyle, budget, and architectural context.
