Bar, pub, and overall hospitality interior design goes beyond just creating a visually appealing space – it’s about shaping the entire customer experience. A well-thought-out design can influence how customers feel and behave, from the moment they walk through the door. The layout, lighting, furniture, and overall atmosphere need to work together to create a memorable experience that encourages repeat visits. In today’s competitive market, a unique and well-designed bar can make all the difference in attracting and retaining customers.
Bar interior design is key to expressing your brand’s identity. Every design choice, from wall finishes to seating, should speak to your brand’s personality and values. By carefully considering your target audience, we can design a space that not only feels authentic but also resonates with your customers. Whether you want a sleek, modern cocktail bar or a cosy, rustic pub, your bar’s design will be a natural extension of your brand, helping to build stronger connections with your customers.
The bar interior design process has several stages, starting with an in-depth understanding of your business, brand, and goals. During the ‘Define’ phase, we explore ideas, survey the space, and create a strategic plan. The ‘Design’ phase brings the vision to life with 3D visualisations and material sample boards so you can see exactly how the space will look. The ‘Develop’ phase focuses on detailed technical drawings and procurement, ensuring that every aspect is ready for the fit-out. Finally, in the ‘Deliver’ phase, we oversee the build, making sure the design is executed perfectly.
The timeline for a bar interior design project can vary based on the size and complexity of the space. Typically, a project will take around 3 to 6 months from the initial concept to the completed fit-out. We work efficiently while maintaining high standards, ensuring that deadlines are met without sacrificing quality. Regular updates and open communication keep everything on track, so you know exactly what to expect and when your bar will be ready to welcome customers.
We’re not your typical design agency – we’re small but perfectly formed, and we like to blur the lines between agency and client. We bring a personal, hands-on approach to every project, treating your goals as our own. Our attention to detail and collaborative spirit means you’re always in the loop, from the initial brief through to the final fit-out. Plus, with many years of industry experience, across many aspects of hospitality including hotels, coffee shops and restaurant design, we have the expertise to ensure your project is delivered on time and within budget.
During the fit-out, we take an active role in managing the design execution. We liaise with contractors, attend site meetings, and handle any design-related issues that arise. Our goal is to make sure the finished bar looks just as good, if not better, than the initial design renders. By staying involved throughout the construction phase, we ensure that everything, from the layout to the finer details like lighting and finishes, aligns with the original vision, giving you a stunning final result that meets your expectations.
