Interior design for hospitality – Bristol, Somerset & the Cotswolds

Hospitality design is all about crafting spaces that create lasting impressions and unforgettable experiences. With over 25 years’ experience in the industry, we work with small hotels, B&Bs, guest houses and inns across Bristol, Somerset and the Cotswolds to shape interiors around your building, your brand and the experience you want your guests to have – from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave.

How we approach hospitality design

Our approach begins with gaining a thorough understanding of your brand, vision and guest expectations. We look at how people arrive, check in, unwind and sleep, then design environments that blend style, comfort and functionality at every step.

Based in Bristol and working across Somerset and the Cotswolds, we’re used to working with characterful buildings – from period townhouses to rural properties. Rather than fighting the architecture, we work with it, creating interiors that feel authentic and rooted in their setting.

We pay careful attention to elements like lighting, furnishings and layout to ensure an inviting atmosphere that encourages relaxation and enjoyment. Guestrooms, ensuites, lobbies and lounges are all considered as part of one coherent story, so the experience feels seamless from space to space.

Sustainability and longevity are central to our thinking. Wherever possible, we incorporate sustainable materials and timeless design details that will stand the test of time, reducing the need for frequent refits. The goal is always the same: to create spaces that guests will want to revisit time and time again – and that work smoothly for you and your team behind the scenes.

While we don’t specialise in standalone restaurant design, we regularly design breakfast rooms, small dining areas and bar or lounge spaces as part of a wider hospitality scheme, ensuring they feel fully integrated with the rest of the interior.

With more than 25 years’ experience in the interior design industry, we understand the realities of running a hospitality business – not just how it looks on a moodboard. Our designs balance practicality, durability and ease of operation with the kind of atmosphere that makes guests feel immediately at home.
