Hi, I’m Joy, founder of COORIE lifestyle

I have a love for creating beautiful spaces that make you want to ‘coorie’. Growing up on a small island on the West of Scotland I was alway inspired by nature. The emotive landscape, rough seas and ever changing mood of the weather would always provide an enviable palette from which to draw creativity.

Whatever your pull, and wherever your location, my aim is to tie those feelings into a design you will love for years to come.

I have an International Diploma in Interior Design and an HNC in 3D Design. Creating interiors I want to spend time in started as a passion, now I want to share that passion with you too.

At COORIE we embrace that sense of home..

COORIE lifestyle was born from the love of coming home. Having spent many years working abroad, the idea of coming home was always one I looked forward to the most. The warmth of a cozy fire and the comfort of sharing good times with loved ones all added to that sense of longing.

‘Coorie’ is a Scots term, meaning to snuggle, nestle or crouch for cover. The Scottish answer to ‘hygge’

Having spent many years working in the Super Yacht industry, I have a keen eye for luxury interiors and how to add those little touches and amenities that create a magical feeling. Turning my attention now to the destinations closer to home, I aim to help my clients provide those same special touches.

With COORIE at the heart of my ethos, I strive to capture the essence of home in every design and style choice made. Let’s delve into a journey that celebrates the beauty and charm of clever design whilst also creating a real sense of belonging and familiarity.
