Office interior design

Designing an office today goes far beyond arranging desks and chairs. A well-planned office reflects the identity of the company, supports employees in their daily work, and creates an environment where clients feel trust and respect. At Yuliya Forrest Interior Design, we approach office interiors with a focus on both functionality and aesthetics, tailoring each project to the needs of our clients across Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and throughout Scotland.

Commercial Office Design

Every company has its own story, values, and team structure. The design of a commercial office should reflect these aspects while also ensuring maximum comfort and productivity.

A modern office often includes:

  • Dedicated workspaces for teams and individual employees
  • Reception and client areas that build confidence from the very first impression
  • Breakout spaces and lounges for informal meetings and relaxation
  • Kitchens and dining areas
  • Modern solutions such as soundproof pods and acoustic panels to ensure privacy and focus

By combining practical layouts with high-quality materials and innovative design solutions, we create offices that enhance workflow, represent company values, and leave a lasting impression on both employees and visitors. Our experience ranges from boutique offices in the centre of Aberdeen to large corporate spaces in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Home Office Design

For individuals working from home, the office becomes a personal space of focus and inspiration. Unlike commercial offices, a home office is designed in harmony with the homeowner’s lifestyle and personal taste.

Key elements of a home office design include:

  • A layout that supports productivity while fitting seamlessly into the home environment
  • A style that reflects the personality and preferences of the client
  • Ergonomic furniture and lighting solutions that make working comfortable and efficient
  • Attention to details that create a calm, inspiring atmosphere

Whether it’s a quiet study corner in Aberdeen, a contemporary home office in Edinburgh, or a stylish workspace in Glasgow, we design spaces that help our clients work effectively while feeling completely at ease in their surroundings.

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.

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