A space designed to feel calm and premium, but still easy to shop, with a layout that gently nudges people through the journey rather than leaving them to wander 🧭

✨ The central island becomes the anchor for discovery and testing, the wall displays keep everything clear and organised, and those softer architectural moments, the arches, the curves, the changing light levels, bring a sense of rhythm.

There are little operational wins included too: Storage and merchandising that’s actually workable, clear zoning that supports routines, and consultation moments that don’t feel bolted on.

👉 It’s the kind of detail-led thinking Copper & Ash bring to any concept, making sure the space looks the part, and works hard behind the scenes.

Standing out in a crowded coffee market ☕👀

With more choice than ever before, it’s no longer just about great coffee, it’s about the full experience.

Because when spaces are designed well, they don’t just look good, they work harder for the business too ✨

Every wondered what goes into choosing the right restaurant space? You should watch this! 👀

Kayleigh’s sharing three key things to think about before you sign on the dotted line, from where your customers are coming from, to what’s already in place behind the scenes, and how the space will hold up long term.

💡 It’s not just about finding somewhere that looks good, it’s about finding somewhere that works, now and in five years’ time.

Introducing Arden & Rowe Opticians 👓

A new retail concept designed to feel calming, premium and understated, creating a more considered optical retail experience from the moment customers step inside.

👉 The layout is all about making the customer journey feel easy and personal.

Clear sightlines to the frame displays, refined product presentation that lets the eyewear speak for itself, and relaxed consultation areas that feel comfortable and private, without turning the space into a maze.

The softer drapery, carefully balanced lighting and clean architectural detailing do a lot of work here too, shaping the atmosphere and creating that sense of quiet luxury, while still keeping the focus on the frames.

🪵 Material-wise, it’s rich walnut timber, tonal terrazzo, soft stone tones and textured fabric, layered together to create warmth, depth and softness throughout the space.

Everything is designed to feel contemporary but timeless, elevating the perception of both the Arden & Rowe brand and the optical experience itself.

If you’re planning a new retail space and want something that looks the part and works hard, we’d love to chat ☺️

We're on site with Chummys Bakery 📍

Katie recently visited the Droitwich site to walk the space and talk through the plans in more detail, getting a real feel for how everything will come together 🧁

These meetings are about understanding how the space will work day to day, from the main counter and product displays, to the retail area behind the counter that will help tell the Chummy’s brand story and connect back to the online brownie and cupcake delivery boxes they’re already known for 📝

The design is set to create a warm, inviting first physical space for Chummy’s, with a refined material palette and a small seating area where customers can enjoy their bakes with a cup of coffee.

We’re already seeing it take shape, and we’ll be sharing more updates as soon as we can 👀

Take a look at this skincare brand moodboard we've curated 😍

A direction built around calm confidence, tactile materials, and a retail experience that feels curated from the moment someone steps inside, right through to consultation and checkout.

✨ Warm stone and timber tones that bring softness and depth
✨ Curves, arches and drapery to create gentle zoning without closing the space in
✨ Product displays designed as feature moments, with lighting doing the shaping
✨ A muted, earthy palette that keeps the brand and packaging as the hero
✨ Considered layout thinking that supports flow, storage, and the day-to-day realities behind the scenes

More to come as we develop this into full visuals and start breaking down the design decisions.

Here is your first look at Chummys Bakery 😍

From brand to space, this is where it really starts to come to life ✨

🍰 A bakery designed to feel warm, refined and welcoming, with a layout that puts the product at the heart of the experience. The counter area has been designed to hero the bakes, with a large ambient display for brownies, cookies and cupcakes, while the rear counter brings freshly baked breads into the space.

There’s a real balance coming through already, somewhere that supports a quick visit, a browse of the retail display, or a moment to sit down and enjoy something freshly baked with a coffee.

Independent brands like Chummy’s deserve spaces that tell their story, and this one’s shaping up exactly as it should 🙌

We’ll be sharing more as this one progresses... it’s already starting to take shape 👀

This was a project that was always about feeling as much as it was about finish.

Working closely with Liam Dillon, the vision for The Boat was clear from the start, create a space that reflects the same care, depth and detail as the food itself.

👉 Natural textures, layered lighting, and a palette grounded in warm, earthy tones all come together to shape something that feels calm, considered and quietly confident. From more intimate corners to open dining spaces, every area has been designed to feel connected, yet distinct.

This was such a brilliant project to be part of, and a great example of what happens when a clear vision is met with experienced design thinking 🤩

What an outcome! 👏

A first look at this very special project for Chummys Bakery 👀

We’re working on something behind the scenes, and this is your first glimpse at how it’s starting to take shape 🤩

📍 Chummy’s are opening their first physical café and shop in Droitwich, after 6 successful years operating online, and we’re helping bring their brand into a space that feels just as refined as the product itself.

This is going to be a visually striking take on a traditional bakery, with a contemporary edge ✨
Warm, natural materials, refined details, and a layout designed to keep the focus exactly where it should be, on the bakes 🍰

Next up, we start bringing these ideas to life... keep an eye out for the visuals 👀
