- Adding finishing touches to a cosy country pub-

Client: Hydes Brewery

 Designer: DV8 Designs

Theme: We curated a warm, character-rich interior scheme that blends countryside charm with a refined, contemporary edge. Our contribution focused on enhancing the atmosphere through the thoughtful selection and placement of framed artwork, lush planting, and a diverse mix of bric-à-brac. The artwork was chosen to reflect local heritage and evoke a sense of nostalgia, while the planting—both hanging and grounded—adds vitality and softness throughout the space.

Carefully sourced decorative pieces, including vintage ceramics, metalware, and rustic tools, were used to create moments of interest and storytelling on every shelf and wall. These elements work in harmony with the pub’s earthy colour palette, heritage wallpaper, and rich materials such as tufted leather, velvet, and wood. The result is an inviting and eclectic space that feels both lived-in and elevated—perfectly suited to the welcoming, social spirit of a modern country pub. This project is a great example of how accessories and artwork can transform a hospitality venue, creating a layered, immersive experience for every guest.
