SBID Scotland is hosting an interior design event on the Thursday 2nd August for an evening of Colour Inspiration. Supported by contemporary luxury textile design label, Mairi Helena and the UK’s oldest paint manufacturer, Craig & Rose, the event will take place in Stockbridge, Edinburgh.

Craig & Rose has unveiled their new, dedicated showroom in Stockbridge. Situated in the heart of Stockbridge, the showroom is less than two miles from the original Craig & Rose factory in Leith, where the company was founded back in 1829. We will learn about the history of Craig & Rose and how its placement in our local heritage, Stockbridge, is part of a store roll-out campaign which complements the recently opened London store in Chiswick. This dynamic new showroom in Edinburgh is looking forward to being a part of the art & design community in Scotland, offering its space as an art studio. There will also be an opportunity to view artwork by Australian artist David Bromley.

Mairi Helena is a Scottish Designer creating pattern prints and soft furnishings, producing high-end luxury accessories such as velvet cushions, lampshades and wallcoverings for home interiors. All of her designs are created at her studio in Edinburgh. At this colour inspiration evening, Mairi will give us an insight into the inspiration behind her collections and the design process.  She will follow with a presentation of mood boards that combine the the Craig & Rose paint colours together with her fabric and wallpapers, inviting guests to create their own mood boards in store and trial some of the paint.
