Collective Design is an acclaimed multi-award-winning interior design practice that creates stunning bespoke interiors in the hospitality and commercial sectors. Specialising in F&B, Bars, Restaurants, Pubs, Retail spaces, Hotels and public spaces throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. 

We believe the initial meeting between client and designer is very important; it is the start of a relationship where we, as designers, get to understand your business and personal needs. In that meeting, we will get to understand and carry out the following:

• Site analysis
• Creation of the brief
• Business and operational analysis
• Understanding your brand needs
• Set out goals and timescales
• Describing the design process in-depth

At Collective, we are big believers in ensuring the initial concept is strong and well-conceived. As creative thinkers, we work tirelessly to bring the “vision” to life. Resulting in the creation of truly exciting and groundbreaking schemes. The concept process includes:

• Creating the Narrative
• Operational Workshops
• Mood Boards
• Sample Boards
• Sketch Development
• Spatial Coordination
• Block Planning
• Initial layout plans
• Photo realistic visuals
• Presentation brochures

Throughout the project lifecycle, we maintain open communication, attention to detail, and a commitment to delivering projects on time and within budget.
