NYX Edinburgh

At NYX Hotel Edinburgh, the bar and restaurant don’t fade into the background - they set the tone. Furniture design is used deliberately and confidently, bringing colour, contrast, and personality to a space designed to feel energetic, social, and anything but restrained. From morning through to late nights, the interiors are built around movement, interaction, and staying a little longer than planned.

Inside Out Contracts provided the bar and restaurant furniture, supporting a design concept that leans into impact. The brief called for pieces that make themselves known. Expressive in form, bold in finish, and capable of holding their own within a visually rich interior, while still delivering the comfort and durability required in a busy hotel environment.

A layered mix of lounge seating, dining chairs, sofas, bar stools, and tables creates a dynamic layout across the space. High-contrast upholstery, confident silhouettes, and vibrant colour choices bring a playful edge, while considered proportions and robust construction ensure the furniture works just as hard as it looks. The result is zoning that feels instinctive rather than imposed, encouraging guests to move, gather, and settle in their own way.

The bar and restaurant now feel unmistakably NYX. Lively, expressive, and full of character. The furniture doesn’t whisper; it contributes directly to the atmosphere, shaping an experience that feels fun, immersive, and designed to be noticed, while still working seamlessly from first service to last round.
