The Boathouse

Parkgate.

- Warm and welcoming coastal interiors inspired by Parkgate's maritime heritage, combining natural textures, bespoke artwork and carefully curated styling to create a relaxed waterside destination - 

Designer: DV8 Designs

Theme: The Boathouse, Parkgate embraces a contemporary coastal aesthetic inspired by its waterside location. Natural materials, maritime influences and carefully curated decorative styling come together to create a warm, inviting interior that feels timeless, relaxed and full of character.

Throughout the venue, we curated and supplied a collection of bespoke framed artwork, carefully selected to reinforce the coastal theme. Nautical illustrations, vintage maps, botanical prints and locally inspired imagery were paired with a variety of frame styles to create characterful gallery walls and statement features throughout the restaurant.

To complement the artwork, we sourced and installed a range of decorative accessories, including maritime-inspired bric-a-brac, model ships, driftwood displays and carefully chosen styling pieces. These elements add layers of interest and authenticity, helping every area of the venue feel considered and unique.

Planting and preserved floral installations were also introduced to soften the interior and bring warmth and texture to the space. Combined with the reclaimed timber finishes, rich colour palette and bespoke styling, the completed scheme creates a relaxed coastal setting that feels timeless, inviting and full of personality.
