Family Living Room and Dining Space, Edinburgh

When this family relocated from London to Edinburgh, their new home presented them with an empty living room which was a blank canvas waiting to be transformed. They wanted a space that felt immediately like theirs, full of character, comfort, and personality, ready to welcome them into the next chapter of their lives.

Renée Turner Interiors took the project from the very beginning, planning the layout, selecting the perfect paint colours, and curating a scheme that reflected the family’s lifestyle and taste. From sourcing furniture and lighting to creating a seamless flow between the living and dining spaces, every detail was designed to make the house feel instantly like home.

The result is a warm, inviting space that the family still loves today, so much so that they continue to send Renée photos of how much they enjoy it.

With the success of this first room, the project has naturally grown, and Renée is gradually redesigning the rest of their home. This story reflects what so many clients find working with Renée. Once you begin the journey, you discover how transformative interior design can be and how enjoyable it is when guided with clarity, creativity, and care.

“I can’t quite believe it’s our house, we’re so delighted. We’d never have got it looking anything like this on our own. Thank you for all your help and creativity!”

Buckingham Terrace, Edinburgh

Living Room & Bedroom Transformation

This Victorian home on Buckingham Terrace in Edinburgh was ready for a fresh chapter. The clients, busy parents with young children, wanted to transform their tired living room and bedroom into calm, inviting retreats. They needed spaces that balanced the elegance of their period property with the comfort and practicality of modern family life.

Renée Turner Interiors began by carefully rethinking the layout and flow of the living room. Bespoke carpentry was introduced to create beautiful, functional storage and display solutions, designed to work seamlessly with the room’s Victorian proportions. Rich paint tones, layered textures and considered lighting choices elevated the space, while preserving the property’s architectural charm.

In the bedroom, the focus was on creating a serene, restorative environment. Soft furnishings, carefully chosen colour palettes, and bespoke joinery brought comfort and order, helping the room feel both stylish and restful. Every detail — from furniture placement to fabrics — was designed to create a private haven where the clients could recharge.

The result is a home that feels both beautiful and practical, giving this young family two stylish, functional rooms that truly reflect their lifestyle. The living room now serves as a welcoming space for family time and entertaining, while the bedroom offers a peaceful retreat. This project is a wonderful example of how thoughtful design, bespoke carpentry and a collaborative approach can transform everyday living into something exceptional.

“We worked with Renée on refurbishing our master bedroom and drawing room, plus garden lighting, and she was wonderful from start to finish. She took time to understand our family and reflect our personalities in the design. Renée managed everything, liaising with tradespeople and keeping us updated. She also advised on paint colours, lighting and soft furnishings across the house. Professional, creative and solutions-oriented, we’d highly recommend her for any interior design project..”
