Banjo Beale (born Brendan Beale) is an Australian interior designer originally from rural Australia. Specific details about his date of birth and parents are not publicly documented, though he has spoken about growing up in the Australian outback.
He moved to Scotland after travelling the world and eventually settled on the Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides. There, he built a new life and career in interior design, living on a farm with his husband Ro.
Beale rose to prominence after winning Interior Design Masters in 2022, which led to his own BBC show, Designing the Hebrides. The programme airs on BBC Scotland and BBC Two, following him as he renovates homes and businesses across remote Scottish islands.
He is also a presenter and judge on Scotland’s Home of the Year and runs his own design studio, working with clients across the UK.
Beale now lives on the Isle of Ulva with his husband, where they are restoring a historic property and developing it into a hospitality project.
