About Chara Rimbr

Studio Origins on Rose Street

Founder Charlotte Rimbr established the studio in 2016 after a decade styling residential shoots for Edinburgh interior magazines. The Rose Street workspace serves as sample library and client meeting point rather than retail showroom.

Our team of four stylists each specialises in either period properties or contemporary spaces, ensuring expertise matches your home type from first appointment.

Philosophy of Restraint

We believe well-styled rooms contain fewer, better-chosen objects rather than maximalist accumulation. Budget concentrates on anchor pieces and lighting while accessories rotate seasonally.

Sustainability influences sourcing: vintage dealers on Dundas Street, Scottish textile makers, and reupholstery specialists extend furniture lifespan rather than defaulting to flat-pack replacement.

Who We Work With

Homeowners preparing properties for sale use our staging packages to accelerate offers. New residents unfamiliar with Edinburgh housing stock rely on us to interpret awkward layouts productively.

Landlords furnishing premium lets receive durable yet attractive schemes balancing investment return with tenant satisfaction across one to three-bedroom units.

Community Connections

We partner with Edinburgh Art Festival venues for annual window displays showcasing local makers. Proceeds from sample sales support homeless shelter furnishing programmes coordinated with Shelter Scotland.

Student placements from Edinburgh College of Art occasionally assist on photoshoot documentation under senior stylist supervision.

Credentials and Insurance

Public liability insurance to £2,000,000 covers all on-site styling work. Client property insurance remains primary; we document condition before moving any existing furnishings.

Professional memberships include the British Institute of Interior Design affiliate programme for continuing education access.
