Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Scotland, attracting millions of visitors each year. With a rich history, stunning architecture, and a vibrant cultural scene, it's no wonder that so many people want to experience the city for themselves. For property owners looking to capitalise on this demand, designing modern luxury holiday let flats in Edinburgh can be a lucrative business opportunity.

However, designing a holiday let flat that is both stylish and functional can be a daunting task and is incredibly important in the current market. From choosing the right furniture to selecting the right color scheme, there are many factors to consider when creating a space that will appeal to tourists and provide a comfortable stay. In this blog, I will explore the key elements of designing holiday let flats in Edinburgh, providing you with inspiration and guidance to create a unique and memorable holiday experience for your guests.


Here are some ideas that might help you visualise the interior design for a luxury holiday let in Edinburgh.

  1. Scottish-Inspired Fabric Patterns: Consider incorporating plaid patterns in the upholstery, curtains, or cushions, such as warm rust and green plaid or a muted blue/grey tartan. This will add a touch of Scottish heritage and warmth to the design.
  2. Contemporary Artwork Featuring Edinburgh Landmarks: Hang framed artwork featuring Edinburgh's iconic landmarks, such as Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and the Forth Bridge. This will add a sense of place to the interior and help create a connection with the city.
  3. Natural Elements: Incorporate natural elements into the design, such as wooden accents, stone or brick feature walls, or potted plants. This will bring a touch of the Scottish heritage building materials into the modern interior design.
  4. Neutral Color Scheme with Accents of Deep Green and Navy Blue: Use a neutral color scheme for the main elements of the design, such as one warm colour for walls, ceilings and woodwork and leather sofas, and add accents of deep green and navy blue in the form of throw pillows, curtains, or rugs. This will help create a modern and elegant look while still showcasing the Scottish city theme.
  5. Modern Lighting Fixtures: Incorporate modern lighting fixtures, such as pendant lights or floor lamps with a brushed brass finish, to complement the modern design while also providing warmth and ambiance.

These are just a few ideas to help you visualise the interior design for a modern luxury holiday let flat in Edinburgh. For further inspiration you can consult with me to create a personalised and unique design that meets your specific needs and preferences.
