Our team specialises in creating exceptional interiors that captivate guests, enhance operational efficiency, and embody the unique character of each property.
From boutique hotels to luxury resorts, we bring your vision to life and create interior design based around your brand, always with an unwavering commitment to excellence.
A hotel is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience. Our design philosophy centres on creating environments that leave a lasting impression, combining luxury, comfort, and functionality. Whether you’re looking to revamp an existing property or design a new one from the ground up, we are dedicated to crafting spaces that elevate every aspect of the guest experience.
Designing a hotel involves more than just aesthetics; it’s about creating a cohesive environment that enhances the overall guest experience. Here’s how we approach hotel design:
Guest-Centric Design: We prioritise the comfort and satisfaction of your guests. From luxurious rooms and serene lobbies to engaging public spaces, every detail is crafted to ensure a memorable stay. We focus on creating inviting and functional spaces that cater to the diverse needs of your clientele.
Brand Identity: Your hotel’s design should reflect its unique brand and character. We work closely with you to develop a design that aligns with your brand’s identity, creating a cohesive look and feel throughout the property. This includes everything from colour schemes and furnishings to artwork and signage.
Functionality and Flow: Efficient space planning is essential for both guest comfort and operational efficiency. We design layouts that enhance the flow of the property, ensuring smooth operations and a seamless experience for guests. This includes strategic placement of amenities, staff areas, and service points. We are also experienced in designing cafes, restaurants, bars, and other hospitality features which can make a great addition to a hotel.
Innovative Features: Incorporating modern design trends and innovative features can set your hotel apart. Whether it’s integrating smart technology, eco-friendly solutions, or unique design elements, we strive to keep your property at the forefront of the industry.
At Copper & Ash, our approach to hotel interior design is methodical and client-focused. We start with a detailed consultation to understand your vision and goals. This initial phase involves discussions about your brand identity, target audience, and specific design requirements.
Once we have a clear understanding of your needs, we move on to concept development. Our team creates design concepts and visual representations, including mood boards and 3D visualisations. These tools help you see how the final design will look and feel.
After you approve the design concepts, we develop detailed plans and specifications. This stage includes preparing technical drawings and construction documents. We also handle planning applications and ensure compliance with building regulations.
Next, we oversee the manufacturing and fit-out process. Our team coordinates with contractors and suppliers to bring the design to life. We manage every aspect of the implementation to ensure the project is completed to the highest standard.
Finally, we add the finishing touches to complete the project. This involves final inspections and adjustments to ensure everything is perfect. Our goal is to deliver a hotel interior that meets your vision and exceeds your expectations.

Thank you team, Ant & Sam @ Dear Coco Coffee Z B2024-09-17 Matt and the team were absolutely excellent from start to finish. This includes everything from communication, going through each stage to the final presentation. Overall, as a company we cant sing their praises enough! Bill Sunner2023-12-05 Been using copper and ash for 12 months now, i would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for design work. Matt and Kayleigh true professionals, nothing is to much to ask of them. They have a very good understanding of what the client needs. Jack Whittaker2023-10-02 I highly recommend Copper & Ash. Recently used the company for a full office renovation, they understood the brief and the use of space and the vision they had was extremely impressive. They then followed this up with fantastic customer service, and reaction to changes required offering flexibility throughout. All with a personal touch from the company owners. Spencer Turner2023-09-25 We are a fit out company and required the services of an interior design company specialising in commercial design. I contacted Matt and Kayleigh of Copper and Ash who right from the word go engaged with our client and delivered an amazing scheme. For us as a contractor we were given all of the exact specifications and detail required in order to provide an accurate quotation bearing in mind the clients budget. Both Matt and Kayleigh were in contact during the design process to run past me the use of different materials and design ideas they had to make sure they were feasible and cost effective without affecting their design. Once we were contracted to do the fit out they were always on hand to assist with any alterations to design mainly due to materials and always came back to me rapidly. The whole process has been a joy and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anybody looking for an up to date wow design delivered by professionals that think outside the box. I am a great believer in "you get what you pay for" and I think Copper and Ash are definitely value for money. David Frisby2023-08-17 We had a fantastic experience working with Copper and Ash on our new office location in Birmingham. Their project management skills were exceptional, and they showed great professionalism throughout the process. What impressed us the most was their dedication to understanding our brand, not just from an aesthetic standpoint but also in terms of our cultural values. They truly went the extra mile to create a space that reflected our brand identity and created a positive and inspiring work environment. Nathan Dawe2023-01-17 An absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. I came with a vision and they took it to another level. The first design they showed me turned out to be the final design as it was so amazing! Kayleigh and Matt were fantastic throughout going above and beyond to achieve our opening date. Highly recommended. You get what you pay for!! Thank you guys Ashley A2022-12-01 Copper and Ash were fantastic from start to finish.

Interior design in hotels isn’t just about making things look nice—it’s about creating an experience. When guests walk into your hotel, they should feel welcomed, comfortable, and maybe even a little wowed! A beautifully designed space can turn a simple stay into a memorable experience, making people want to return again and again. At Copper & Ash, we focus on blending luxury, comfort, and function, making sure every guest feels like they’re somewhere special.
We really take the time to get to know your brand and understand what makes it unique. Whether your hotel is all about laid-back luxury, chic modern style, or something more quirky and boutique, we make sure the design speaks to your identity. From colours and textures to furniture and artwork, everything is chosen to align with your brand, creating a cohesive and recognisable atmosphere that your guests will love.
It’s a smooth and collaborative journey! First, we sit down with you to really understand your vision, your brand, and your guests. Once we have that clear, we move on to creating mood boards and 3D visualisations so you can see exactly how your hotel will look. After you’re happy with the design, we get down to the technical side—drawings, planning, and making sure everything’s in place. And when it’s time to build, we oversee the whole process to make sure it’s done right, down to the last detail.
It’s all about finding that sweet spot between beauty and functionality. We make sure that while your hotel looks stunning, it’s also practical for both your guests and staff. The layout is designed to make guests feel at ease while ensuring staff can work efficiently. From the flow of the reception to the placement of amenities, we make sure everything works together seamlessly to provide a great experience for everyone.
We love keeping things fresh and innovative! Whether it’s incorporating the latest smart tech, eco-friendly solutions, or custom features that make your hotel stand out, we always have an eye on what’s current. But we also know the importance of timeless design in hospitality—so while we bring in modern touches, we make sure your hotel won’t feel out of date in a few years. It’s all about creating something unique that will impress your guests for years to come.
We’ve worked on everything from cosy boutique hotels to large luxury resorts, and we love the variety! Whether your project is small and intimate or big and bold, we bring the same attention to detail, creativity, and dedication to every single job. Whatever your vision, we’re here to help make it a reality, delivering spaces that leave your guests talking about their stay long after they’ve checked out.
We know how important it is to stick to timelines and budgets—especially when running a hotel! From the get-go, we’re clear about costs and deadlines, and we keep you updated throughout the entire process. We manage everything, from coordinating with contractors to solving any issues that pop up along the way. You can rest assured that your project will be delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standard, without any surprises!
