I was having similar problems. This thread helped me understand the issue: Is there a way for Interface Builder to render IBDesignable views which don't override drawRect:

I got it to work by adding

override init(style: UITableViewCellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?) {
        super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)
        layoutSubviews()
    }

as far as i understand after reading the above stack link, IBDesignable loads the nib in storyboard not from nib or from coder but from the init with frame. Not too sure but I think init with style is doing a similar thing.
