Mhairi Coyle is a distinguished interior designer, widely recognised for her sophisticated and timeless approach to design. She has established a reputation for creating interiors that are highly innovative in their use of colour, style and texture, while remaining comfortable, welcoming and highly personal.
A member of the British Institute of Interior Design, Mhairi believes that understanding her clients is fundamental to creating successful interiors. She takes great care to understand how they live, entertain and use their homes, ensuring that every space is both functional and reflective of the people who live in it.
“The houses I design must work well and have great functionality: there must be a reason to be in every room, every day. But they must also be warm, inviting and eclectic – if a client has lived a well-travelled life, that should be reflected in their home.”
She considers the architecture and proportions of each property before developing a carefully curated scheme of colour, pattern, texture, antiques and bespoke pieces. Working closely with highly regarded architects, historical consultants and specialist craftspeople, Mhairi is often involved from initial concept through to completion. Antique sourcing is also an important part of her work, often combining existing collections with new pieces to create interiors with depth, character and individuality.
After beginning her career at Universal Records and EMI, Mhairi returned to her first love of art and design, studying Interior Architecture at Chelsea School of Design while working as a set designer. She went on to hold senior design roles at William Nickerson Design and Living In Space, where she gained extensive experience working on private estates and high-end residential projects across London and the countryside. She founded Mhairi Coyle Design in 2013 and has since built a reputation for refined, highly personalised interiors and meticulous attention to detail.
Mhairi lives in North London.
