Each summer, as Edinburgh bursts into life for the Fringe, the city becomes a stage not only for performers but for design. Yet even when the festival crowds have gone, the capital continues to showcase creativity in unexpected ways. Among cobbled streets, Georgian facades and buzzing venues, you’ll find glimpses of Timorous Beasties’ signature style woven into some of the city’s most-loved interiors. From quiet touches in luxury hotel lounges to bold restaurant backdrops, our wallpapers are hiding in plain sight.
Here are some of the places where our designs take centre stage:
The Resident Edinburgh
Look up and you’ll see our Cloud Toile Wallpaper floating across the ceilings, a striking detail by Wish Interior Architecture. The hotel also features custom handprinted Thistle fabric cushions in Olive, adding a distinctly Scottish flourish to its interiors.

Designed in collaboration with Mackenzie Wheeler, the murals serve as a focal point that elevates the dining experience and reflects the building’s character.
