Gullane Airbnb Transformation
A dated Gullane property redesigned with new flooring, joinery, kitchen, and furnishings, creating a stylish Airbnb now praised with glowing reviews.
This flat in Gullane was tired and in need of significant attention when Renée Turner Interiors was asked to prepare it for Airbnb. The owners, based in Singapore, needed someone they could rely on to oversee the entire project and deliver a stylish, guest-ready home without them having to be on site.
Renée managed the project from start to finish, coordinating multiple trades and ensuring everything was carried out to the highest standard. The flat was completely stripped back, with old flooring removed, walls repainted, and electrics updated. Bespoke joinery was added to maximise space and functionality, while a brand-new kitchen and utility were installed to provide both style and practicality. Every fixture and fitting was carefully sourced to be durable, high quality and visually appealing.
Fresh finishes, curated furnishings and cohesive styling brought the flat to life, turning it into a space that feels modern, comfortable and welcoming. With Renée overseeing the project management, timelines and quality were maintained throughout, giving the clients peace of mind from overseas.
Since launching on Airbnb, the flat has received glowing reviews that highlight its stylish interiors and attention to detail.
This project shows how thoughtful design and skilled project management can completely revitalise a tired property, creating a sought-after holiday let that delivers both comfort for guests and value for its owners.
The property can be viewed and booked here.
Ben Cruachan Guest House
A boutique guest house transformation in Edinburgh, using Mairi Helena wallpapers and fabrics to create memorable Scottish themed interiors for guests.
During the Covid period, Renée Turner Interiors had the privilege of redesigning Ben Cruachan Guest House in Edinburgh. The project began just before lockdown and resumed afterwards, making it a truly memorable journey for both designer and client. Despite the challenges, the result was a guest house that feels welcoming, characterful and perfectly aligned with the charm of Edinburgh.
The design concept was built around the distinctive style of Mairi Helena wallpapers and fabrics, whose bold patterns and colours celebrate Scotland’s landscapes and heritage. These prints became the foundation for the interiors, inspiring choices in furnishings, textures and palettes throughout the guest rooms and shared spaces. By combining these statement pieces with carefully curated lighting, furniture and accessories, the overall atmosphere became both stylish and inviting, offering guests a boutique hotel experience with a strong sense of place.
Since reopening, Ben Cruachan Guest House has received glowing reviews from visitors who praise the warm hospitality, beautiful interiors and attention to detail.
Guests frequently comment on the individuality of the rooms and the way the décor elevates their stay, making it far more memorable than a standard hotel. This project is a wonderful example of how bespoke interior design can transform a property into a destination, enhancing not just its appearance but the entire guest experience.
This guest house can be booked here.
Client Feedback
“Working with Renée was an excellent experience from start to finish. She opened my eyes to design directions I had never considered and took a huge amount of pressure off the project, helping us achieve an outstanding boutique-hotel finish. Her communication was exceptional, with organised sharing of ideas, clear moodboards and samples that made the final vision easy to understand. Renée was always mindful of our budget and offered smart cost-saving options when needed. She handled any issues with suppliers or contractors professionally and kept the project moving smoothly. We are thrilled with the luxurious, high-quality guest house she helped create, which now stands out in Edinburgh and attracts a higher calibre of guest..”
