About Us
Kilter Space specialises in the procurement and installation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FFE) specifically for the hotel and purpose-built student accommodation sectors. The business was founded to address a significant gap in the market by offering a fully integrated, end-to-end service. The company brings together the expertise of Ronnie Kennedy, and Chris Kidd, owners of Glasgow-based Get Fully Furnished, along with Chris Dougray, a veteran of Scotland’s commercial real estate sector. We recognised the lack of locally based, full-service FFE providers in Scotland, despite the rapid growth in these accommodation markets. We believe our combined experience in procurement, commercial insight, and operational capability offers developers and operators a new level of delivery certainty. We look forward to discussing how Kilter Space can support your upcoming projects.
What We Do
Kilter Space will establish a robust procurement process following the receipt of the interior designer’s FF&E specification. This process begins with the creation of the FF&E Budget Report—a detailed matrix containing crucial information such as supplier, product, cost, payment terms, and logistics data. For procurement management, we primarily operate by setting up dedicated project bank accounts to hold client funds in trust. To ensure complete transparency, all purchase orders are signed by the client only after we provide full supporting documentation. We maintain full accountability through monthly reporting, including bank reconciliations, guaranteeing transparency throughout the project lifecycle. This proven process helps maintain the correct pace and direction of the project. Alternatively, we offer flexibility by allowing the client to pay all supplier invoices directly while we manage and coordinate all other aspects of the order. Finally, we coordinate the complete expediting process. This includes tracking client-requested delivery dates, estimated shipping dates, and actual shipping dates. Kilter Space works closely with the client, project manager, and main contractor to schedule the delivery and installation of all FF&E and OS&E items.
FF&E
We want to highlight the core strengths that Kilter Space brings to any partnership, ensuring high-quality, sustainably sourced furnishing solutions for your project. Our expertise is founded on three key pillars: vast specifications knowledge, an inherent understanding of sustainable quality, and a deeply honed global supplier network, which we consider one of our unique competitive strengths. We believe that collaborating early, at all levels and with every member of the design team — is crucial. This approach allows us to establish solid foundations that support and inform the project through to successful completion. Furthermore, we actively attend industry leading supplier events, conferences, and trade shows to ensure our supplier database remains current and comprehensive.
Model Rooms
Realising the shared vision of our clients and their design teams is central to what we do. We appreciate the complexity of the design process and ensure our work fully aligns with and reinforces it. To validate our understanding and secure client sign-off ahead of rollout, we provide a complete model room service, managing all aspects of delivery either on-site or at our own facilities.

chris kidd
Chris has been in the furniture game for over 13 years, ever since helping to build Get Fully Furnishedfrom the ground up. He’s always believed that great interior design should feel effortless — and that it makes a real difference to the people living with it every day.
Having worked closely with letting agents, developers, and BTR teams across Scotland, Chris knows what it takes to balance style, comfort, and practicality. He’s been involved in everything from first enquiries to full furniture installations, so there’s not much he hasn’t seen.
Now, with Kilter Space, Chris is channelling all that experience into a fresh approach to furniture procurement — one that focuses on quality, collaboration, and spaces that just feel right. After years of keeping an eye on industry trends and watching how the market’s evolved across the UK, he’s excited to see where Kilter Space can take things next.
Ronnie Kennedy
Ronnie co-founded Kilter Space alongside both Chris’s, building on over a decade of experience in the property and interiors world. With a background that blends hands-on knowledge of the housing market with a sharp eye for design, Ronnie has always been passionate about creating spaces that truly work — beautiful, functional, and welcoming.
Over the years, he’s honed his skills in interior design, project planning, and team building, helping countless developments come to life. As the Build to Rent (BTR) sector has grown, Ronnie’s interest in this evolving market has only deepened. He understands just how important it is for developers to offer interiors that feel current, comfortable, and full of character.
Now, through Kilter Space, Ronnie is focused on bringing that same energy and expertise to the next chapter — helping clients source and design thoughtful, on-trend spaces that make a lasting impression on everyone who walks through the door.
projects
Grove Hotel
We were appointed to manage the procurement and installation of all FF&E for the refurbishment of an existing hotel located in the Fountainbridge area of Edinburgh. Working closely with the design team throughout the process, we provided support during the specification and ordering phases, including the coordination of fabrics for bespoke furniture pieces used across the hotel.
Our in-house installation team successfully delivered and installed all FF&E across bedrooms and communal areas within a three-week period, ensuring the project was completed on schedule and in time for the hotels reopening.
Dalian House
We were appointed to furnish this historic office building that was transformed into 92 stylish apartments for the rental market. We designed 2 different looks for this project changing things up through sofa and accent chair upholstery and bringing in warm oaks which created a nice flow from ground floor. We also installed window coverings to each apartment along with procuring all the FF&E for the ground floor amenity space. The marketing and show home suite was designed to reflect the desires of the local market whilst providing an area to hold meetings and viewings for the leasing team.
