How 106 Years Shapes the Way We Source Materials
Most interior projects don't fail because of poor taste. They fail because the materials chosen looked good in a showroom but weren't built to last. After 106 years serving Edinburgh homeowners, that's the single biggest lesson we've carried through every decade at James Erskine Interiors.
Sourcing quality materials starts with knowing what a space actually demands. A high-traffic hallway needs something fundamentally different from a bedroom. That's why we stock LVT and vinyl flooring specifically for areas like bathrooms and busy corridors, where water resistance and durability aren't optional extras. For softer living spaces, our carpet ranges, including the Erskine Twist collection, are chosen for longevity and underfoot comfort rather than just appearance. And when it comes to upholstery fabrics, we work with leading manufacturers and carry out all restoration in our own in-house workshop, so quality is never left to chance. Wallcoverings from Morris & Co, Designers Guild, and Clarke & Clarke are stocked because these names represent genuine craftsmanship, not simply a fashionable label. 🏡
What would you say matters most to you when choosing materials for your home, durability, aesthetics, or the story behind where they come from? And if you've ever had a piece of furniture restored rather than replaced, we'd love to hear how it turned out in the comments.
