Interior design for restaurants, bars and cafés in Crystal Palace & South Norwood
Crystal Palace is our home. Delphine Bouvet Interiors is based here, and we know the Triangle’s independent food and drink scene first-hand, as locals and as regulars.
We design story-led hospitality spaces. Every project begins with the story behind your venue: your food, your people, and the feeling you want guests to leave with. We then shape that into a space where materials, colour, lighting and bespoke joinery all tell the same story. Just down the road in Beckenham, we transformed a former sushi restaurant into Cántaro, an immersive Mexican eatery, using stucco walls, terracotta and layered lighting to transport diners while keeping the food centre stage.
Good stories need solid foundations. We start with space planning, working out covers, customer flow, bar position and staff routes, and then develop the concept, joinery details, lighting design and full specification. Our drawings are detailed enough for builders to price accurately, and compliance is designed in from day one: fire safety, accessibility, slip resistance and contract-grade fabrics.
You can bring us in for the design alone, or let us take care of the whole journey. For many first-time operators, we act as a one-stop shop: advising on your shopfront and signage, working alongside your graphic designer, running the builder tender and managing the fit-out through to opening. Our joiners, builders and specialist trades are people we’ve worked with across South London for years.
We’re currently leading the design and project management of a new restaurant in Clapham, opening in early 2027, and we’d love to bring the same care to a venue closer to home. If you’re planning a restaurant, bar or café in SE19, SE25 or the surrounding area, from the Triangle to Portland Road, we’d love to hear your story.
Below are some examples of the visuals included in our hospitality design services. Please also check the portfolio section for more examples of previous projects.
