Interior design for restaurants, bars and cafés in Brixton & Herne Hill
Brixton and Herne Hill have one of the most vibrant food and drink scenes in South London, full of independent operators with strong ideas and loyal locals. If you’re opening or refreshing a venue here, you need an interior that captures that energy and makes your own concept unmistakable.
Delphine Bouvet Interiors is a South London studio specialising in story-led design for restaurants, bars and cafés.
Every venue we design starts with a story: what you serve, who you’re serving it to, and what guests should feel when they walk through the door. We build that into every layer of the space: the materials guests touch, the lighting that sets the mood from lunch to late evening, and bespoke joinery that gives your venue a character no catalogue can. It’s an approach we’ve brought to a Mexican restaurant, a cocktail bar and an outdoor bar in Beckenham, each with its own distinct personality.
Behind every atmosphere is a layout that works. We plan covers, customer flow, bar and kitchen positions and staff routes first, then develop the full design, with technical drawings, lighting plans and specifications your builder can price with confidence. Hospitality compliance is part of the design from the outset, including fire safety, accessibility, slip resistance and contract-grade textiles.
Delphine brings a French eye for composition and detail, combined with a first-class degree in Interior Design and a strong network across the London trade. Whether you need design only or a fully managed project, we can take you from first sketch to opening night, including shopfront and signage advice, collaboration with your branding designer, builder tendering and project management.
Whether you’re setting up on Coldharbour Lane, opening in Brixton Village or Market Row, launching a café on Half Moon Lane or Railton Road, or refreshing an established venue anywhere in SW9, SW2 or SE24, we’d love to hear your story.
We’re based in South London and design restaurants, bars and cafés in Brixton, Herne Hill and across the wider area.
