I’m Amy, founder of Amy Shirlaw Interiors. I travelled the world for over ten years creating vivid, transient spaces for events and festivals. I now put my energy into transforming permanent spaces—our homes—to reflect, support and complement my clients’ lifestyles, tastes and preferences. I provide an authentic, practical and inclusive approach to interior design. My services reflect varying levels of support and guidance, depending on your requirements.

 

I’m a firm believer in function over form. To me, a well-designed room is not only cleverly designed, but comfortable, liveable and inviting. Decorative trends come and go, I create rooms that are authentic; rooms for the people who actually live in them. I want to know how you use your home, how you feel when you’re in it and how you want to feel. 

​

The rooms I design support a variety of lifestyles and moods. They are real spaces used by real people. Though I always incorporate moments of joy and pleasure, the most important thing to me is that they work. By sharing my professional experience and opinions, I am here to help you make the right decisions, in the right order. I enjoy working with homeowners and renters living in all kinds of properties, from Georgian to new builds, in and around Edinburgh. No budget is too small.
