An alternative and maybe a little more convenient way to do it, by subclassing the UITextField and add an @IBInspectable inset property.

import UIKit

class UITextfieldWithInset: UITextField {

    @IBInspectable
    var textfieldInset: CGPoint = CGPointMake(0, 0)

    override func textRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds, textfieldInset.x, textfieldInset.y)
    }

    override func editingRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds, textfieldInset.x, textfieldInset.y)
    }

    override func placeholderRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds, textfieldInset.x, textfieldInset.y)
    }

}
