SkelaStudio

SkelaStudio Interior Design to residential and commercial properties in Edinburgh and the rest of Scotland. The design brief is free and lasts for up to an hour.

Skela Studio offers a complete interior design service which is always individually tailored to meet each client’s needs, style and budget. What we do:

The Design Brief

We believe it is vital to listen carefully to clients requirements. The success of any project will rely on the understanding and interpretation of the clients brief, their ideas, specific requests, likes, dislikes, timescale and

budget. Concept Development

This process involves exploration of the clients brief with a view to finding the solutions and designs the client is looking for. Communication with the client and sharing of simultaneous ideas begin to refine the desired path the client is seeking. Mood Boards

A mood board is compiled displaying a selection of samples, finishes and images to illustrate the design concept and scheme. Detailed Design

If required, detailed design includes space planning in the form of scale line drawings and visuals to demonstrate how the space will look. From here you have an option to finish the rest of the work yourself or relax and let us do the procurement and project management. Project Management

Skela Studio is able to project manage your works, overseeing and organising the installation from start to finish. Design by Post

‘Design by post’ is our service created to give you the tools you need to revamp your room. It is a convenient service that offers you interior design consultancy with no site visit required. We will ask you to complete a questionnaire to help us get a feel for your requirements and tastes. You will need to send us photos of your room together with room measurements where required and we’ll send you a mood board, a sample board and a shopping list showing suggestions of suppliers. Also offering Visual Merchandising services

Professional visual merchandising will increase the profile of your brand, attract and draw customers in the store and provide advertising opportunities. Space Planning

One of my recent commercial projects was helping transform an office space into a piano school. The client recently left this lovely feedback, which meant a great deal after all the work that went into developing the layout and creating a flexible teaching environment.

The brief was to transform a former office space into a functional and welcoming piano school. My role focused on space planning and interior design, creating three group teaching classrooms, two one-to-one teaching rooms, a reception and waiting area, and a recital space centred around a baby grand piano.

Alongside the layouts, I developed storage solutions, selected furniture, colours and materials, and created visuals to help bring the vision to life before construction.

From early pop-up spaces in London and Manchester to projects across Ayrshire, Dumbarton, Glasgow and now Edinburgh, it’s been lovely seeing MacGregor and MacDuff continue to grow and evolve over the years.

One of the nicest parts of working in commercial interiors is helping businesses shape spaces that develop alongside the brand and the people behind it.

Really enjoyed being part of this latest Edinburgh project and seeing the refreshed space come to life ✨

New spaces. New designs.
Long-term collaboration in motion.

Really inspired after visiting the Royal Scottish Academy exhibition celebrating 200 years of the RSA.

As part of continuing my own creative development and staying connected to contemporary art and design, I’ve now become an RSA member.

I think good interior design comes from constantly learning, observing, and engaging with wider creative culture — not just following trends.

Looking forward to more exhibitions and events throughout the year.

A good floor plan is about far more than fitting furniture into a room. It shapes how a home feels, flows, and functions day to day.

In our upcoming Interior Design Masterclass, we’ll explore how layout influences movement, light, conversation, comfort, and the way we actually live within a space.

Even small changes to a floor plan can completely transform how a room works.

We’ll look at:
• zoning and room flow
• furniture placement and scale
• open-plan living
• creating balance and function
• how designers test different layout options before making decisions

Sometimes the most important part of a design happens long before colours, fabrics, or furniture are chosen.

Happy 3rd anniversary to Ancient Robot Games in Leith!

Three years ago, this project started as a vision for something more than just a shop — a space that combined gaming, coffee, creativity and community under one roof. It’s been wonderful watching the business grow and seeing how loved the space has become.

I had the pleasure of working on the interior design for the project, alongside some brilliant local collaborators, including Anderson Joinery for the bespoke counter and furniture, Terry for the furniture, and Lauren for the signage and the stunning mural by Ross MacRae.

If you’re interested in the story and design process behind the project, I’ve shared more here:

Last weekend, I joined the expert team at the Homebuilding & Renovating Show in Glasgow, where I was invited to deliver two interior design talks alongside offering one-to-one design advice throughout the day.

My talks focused on colour, layouts and innovative interior design ideas for modern living, exploring how thoughtful design can completely transform the way a home feels and functions.

Throughout the day, I spoke to homeowners planning renovations, extensions and full home refurbishments, helping them with space planning, room layouts, lighting design, colour schemes, materials, finishes and creating homes that feel both practical and personal.

One of the biggest topics people struggled with was how to make spaces flow better and feel more cohesive without always needing major structural changes. Thoughtful interior design can completely transform how a home feels through layout improvements, lighting, colour, furniture planning and carefully selected finishes.

It was such a lovely experience meeting so many people working on homes across Scotland and discussing real renovation challenges and ideas.

Skela Studio is an Edinburgh interior design studio specialising in residential, retail and hospitality interiors, with a focus on creating warm, functional and beautifully considered spaces.
