Our lifestyles have changed in recent years which has impacted how we interact socially as well as in the work place. As a result, many establishments are expanding their offering to maximise their revenue streams. Cafes and hotels are now incorporating coworking spaces and hosting community based events. Whilst bars are diversifying and incorporating competitive activities to become more inclusive and reach a wider audience.
Our focus is on designing sense-driven experiences that engage your customers, encourage them to tell their friends and ultimately return time and time again. We combine branding with innovative interior design and meticulous space planning to create dynamic concepts that deliver, whatever your budget. We like to push boundaries and we strive to create trends rather than follow them.
Our 20+ years of ‘big brand, big project ‘experience has helped mould our proven process. We provide expert guidance from concept to completion to avoid wasted time and money and utilise the resources we have to hand.
We source, specify and procure all elements required to turn a project from concept to reality. These include, but aren’t limited to, furniture, lighting, bespoke joinery, signage, servery equipment, kitchen equipment and planting.
We love the ambitious and courageous nature of our clients, allowing us to devote ourselves to their journey and bringing the vision to life.

Functional design in hospitality is much more than just making a space look good—it’s about ensuring every part of the venue serves a purpose and enhances the customer experience. A well-designed layout helps improve flow, making it easy for customers to move through the space, while also maximising seating and operational efficiency. Whether it’s a café or a hotel, a thoughtfully designed space that balances comfort and practicality will keep your customers coming back time and again.
We’ve seen a huge shift towards hybrid spaces in hospitality, especially since the pandemic, and Copper & Ash is all about embracing this change. We design spaces that are as flexible as today’s customers need them to be, whether that means combining coworking areas within a café or creating communal spaces in hotels. Our designs reflect how people are using venues in new ways, blending work and leisure seamlessly to offer multi-functional environments that cater to both personal and professional needs.
At Copper & Ash, we believe that great hospitality design goes beyond what meets the eye—it’s about engaging all the senses. We carefully consider everything from lighting and textures to acoustics and layout to craft spaces that feel immersive. A well-designed, sense-driven space makes a lasting impression on customers, encouraging them to stay longer, spread the word, and return for more. It’s all about creating a memorable atmosphere that sparks positive emotions and experiences.
Working within a budget doesn’t mean you have to compromise on quality or creativity. At Copper & Ash, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality designs, regardless of the budget. We achieve this by being smart about sourcing materials and designing spaces that make the most of the available resources. Whether it’s furniture, lighting, or bespoke joinery, we make sure every element works cohesively without overspending. The result is a beautiful, functional space that feels unique to your brand.
When you work with Copper & Ash, we’re with you every step of the way. From the very start, we work closely with you to understand your brand, your vision, and your goals. Throughout the process, we offer guidance and support, whether it’s helping with branding decisions, sketching concepts, or overseeing the fit-out. Our team is hands-on from start to finish, so you’re always in the loop and can trust that your project is in safe hands.
What sets us apart is our proven process, honed over more than 20 years of working on large-scale projects for some of the biggest brands. We don’t just jump in—we start with a strategic plan, from analysing your competitors to offering branding advice and space planning. Then, we move into design, bringing your vision to life with 3D visualisations, material boards, and technical drawings. Our process ensures we stay on time and within budget, giving you peace of mind from concept to completion.
At Copper & Ash, we understand that your interior design is a key part of your brand’s identity—it’s the physical representation of who you are and what you stand for. We work closely with you to ensure that every design choice, from the layout to the smallest details, reflects your brand’s personality and values. Whether you’re operating a sleek, modern restaurant or a warm and inviting bakery, we’ll make sure the design aligns perfectly with your brand’s message. By creating a space that feels authentic to your brand, we help you connect more deeply with your customers and build stronger brand recognition.
