Hospitality Interior Design Across Scotland, UK (Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh) and Worldwide

At Yuliya Forrest Interior Design, we provide professional hospitality design services for hotels, serviced apartments, and Airbnb properties. Each project is approached with a balance of creativity, functionality, and guest experience in mind. Our goal is to design interiors that not only look impressive but also deliver comfort, efficiency, and long-term value for property owners.

Creating Unique Hotel Interiors

A hotel is more than a place to stay — it’s an experience. From boutique hotels to large hospitality projects, we design interiors that reflect the character of the property, attract guests, and enhance the brand identity.

Our hotel interiors often include:

  • Welcoming reception and lobby areas that set the tone from the first impression
  • Stylish guest rooms designed with both aesthetics and practicality in mind
  • Functional layouts with attention to circulation, lighting, and acoustics
  • Restaurants, cafés, and bar areas that combine atmosphere with comfort
  • Event and meeting spaces tailored to business and social use

Airbnb & Serviced Apartments

Short-term rental properties such as Airbnb require a different approach. Interiors must be attractive, memorable, and highly practical. We create designs that:

  • Reflect the lifestyle and character of the location
  • Use durable, easy-to-maintain materials suitable for frequent guest turnover
  • Maximise the use of limited space while maintaining comfort and style
  • Incorporate unique design touches that help listings stand out online and increase bookings

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.
