Meet the Founder – Bally Taylor

In the world of interior design, creativity knows no bounds. Meet Bally, the visionary founder of BRIC, an interior design company in Edinburgh that’s redefining spaces and lifestyles with its unique blend of creativity and passion.

Bally’s journey didn’t start with fancy showrooms or prestigious projects – it began in the humble confines of her childhood bedroom, where she would spend hours rearranging furniture and exploring the endless possibilities of design.

From a young age, Bally’s love for design was evident. While other kids were playing outside, she was busy transforming her bedroom, turning bookshelves from upright to on their side, experimenting with textures, colors, and layouts. Little did she know that these early experiences would lay the foundation for her future career and inspire the birth of BRIC.

Established in 2014, BRIC quickly gained recognition for its innovative designs and impeccable attention to detail.

What sets BRIC apart isn’t just its stunning creations – it’s the incredible team behind it. Bally is quick to credit her team for the company’s success, describing them as supportive, caring, creative, and passionate. Together, they bring Bally’s vision to life, creating spaces that reflect the unique personalities and lifestyles of their clients.

Bally’s journey from being based in London as an air stewardess to moving and creating her successful interior design company was a journey fueled by passion and creativity. Feeling a desire for a fresh start and a challenge to combine her two passions, she found her true calling through inspiration in relocating and discovering Edinburgh’s cultural richness and architectural beauty. Immersed in a vibrant artistic community, Bally honed her skills and established BRIC, her renowned design firm. Her story illustrates the power of following one’s passion and embracing new opportunities. Yet, Bally’s journey extends beyond BRIC’s design studio. With a passion for travel equal to her love for design, she seamlessly merged the two by dedicating over 20 years to working as an air stewardess alongside crafting dream spaces with BRIC. This unique combination allows her to scout out new fabrics and materials globally, infusing her designs with a distinctive international flair.

For Bally, success isn’t just about creating beautiful spaces – it’s about building strong relationships with clients and empowering her team. She believes that communication, collaboration, and support are the keys to a successful business, and she’s committed to fostering a culture of inclusivity and creativity at BRIC.

One of the hallmarks of Bally’s designs is the “Bally touch” – a signature blend of luxury textured fabrics and a mix of different materials that adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to every project. While she has a distinct style,

Bally also understands the importance of versatility, adapting her designs to suit the unique tastes and preferences of her clients.

As Bally continues to inspire and innovate, her journey serves as a reminder that passion, dedication, and a supportive team can turn dreams into reality. From her humble beginnings rearranging furniture in her bedroom to founding a successful interior design company based in a highly sort after spot in Edinburgh, Bally’s story is a testament to the transformative power of design and the endless possibilities that await those who dare to dream.
