Hospitality Joinery

Where our hospitality joinery lives

We support a wide range of hospitality and mixed-use projects, often from early design stages through to installation and aftercare.

• City and resort hotels – from boutique independents to branded properties
• Members’ clubs and amenity floors – lounges, workspaces, bars and dining rooms
• Restaurants and bars – standalone venues and F&B within larger properties
• Spas, wellness and fitness spaces – treatment rooms, changing areas and relaxation zones
• Serviced apartments and extended-stay offerings – where residential comforts meet hotel services

In many schemes we are involved across multiple areas at once, which allows us to keep language, materials and details consistent while tuning each space to its specific function.

Guestroom and suite joinery

Guestrooms and suites are where guests spend the most time, so the joinery needs to feel intuitive and generous without dominating. We typically design these elements as a single coordinated set under our dedicated

Hotel Guestroom Joinery offer:

• headboards and bedside joinery, with integrated lighting, power and storage
• wardrobes and luggage benches, tuned to length of stay and storage expectations
• desks, dressing tables and small work spots that feel part of the same language
• media walls and TV joinery, sometimes integrating minibars and storage

These pieces often draw on ideas from Media Walls & TV Joinery, Wardrobes & Dressing Rooms and Fitted Storage & Alcove Units, adapted for the practicalities of housekeeping, fire strategy and repeated use.

Arrival, lobby and circulation spaces

First impressions are shaped by a handful of pieces: the reception desk, concierge points, feature walls and the way circulation spaces are framed. We treat these as a family under

Reception Desks & Lobby Joinery.

• reception and concierge desks with integrated storage, lighting and guest technology
• feature walls, portals and panelling that guide guests through the building
• displays for art, objects and brand moments
• joinery that softens transitions between lobby, lounge, bar and restaurant

Architectural elements such as Wall Panelling & Architectural Joinery and Internal Doors & Screens often sit alongside more expressive pieces. We help you decide where joinery should quietly support the architecture and where it should carry a stronger design statement.

Bars, restaurants and club spaces

Bars and dining areas demand joinery that can handle real service while still feeling special. We design both front-of-house statements and the quieter working pieces behind them.

Our work in this area is covered in more depth under Hospitality Bars & Back Counters and Home Bars & Back Bars (for more intimate spaces), as well as Amenity & Members’ Club Joinery.

• bar fronts and back bars with integrated lighting, refrigeration and glassware storage
• waiter stations, pass counters and servery units integrated into the wider interior
• banquette bases, screening elements and fixed seating
• wine walls, display cabinets and tasting counters

We coordinate closely with kitchen designers, bar consultants and M&E teams so that services, ventilation and access all disappear into the final composition.

Spa, wellness and changing areas

Wellness spaces combine high humidity, soft lighting and a need for calm order. Under Spa & Wellness Joinery we design lockers, vanities, treatment room storage and relaxation joinery that feels serene while working hard in the background.

• lockers and changing benches with durable finishes and integrated lighting
• treatment room joinery with discreet storage and hidden services
• tea points and refreshment areas blending into the wellness narrative
• towel stations, product displays and retail points that feel part of the same family

Back-of-house spaces such as staff changing, housekeeping stores and plant-adjacent storage are treated within Locker Rooms & Back-of-House Joinery, ensuring the operational side of the building runs smoothly.

Amenity floors, members’ clubs and co-working

Mixed-use amenity floors and members’ clubs often bring together lounge seating, workspaces, dining, bars and meeting rooms in one fluid environment. Under Amenity & Members’ Club Joinery we help you build a consistent narrative across all of these spaces.

• library walls, bookcases and display shelving
• tea points and small bars integrated with lounge and co-working areas, supported by Tea Points & Breakout Kitchenettes
• phone booths, quiet work pods and storage walls
• feature joinery pieces that define zones without resorting to hard partitions

These projects often sit between our Hospitality Joinery and Residential Joinery thinking – delivering hotel-level amenity with the comfort and tactility of a private home.

Detailing, materials and durability

Hospitality joinery lives a busy life. We select materials and details that meet brand and design aspirations while standing up to real use – and repeated cleaning.

We draw on our Materials library to balance natural timbers, veneers, lacquers, stones, metals and specialist glass. Edges, corners and junctions are detailed to minimise wear, and where appropriate we strengthen high-contact points with metal trims or protective details.

Fire performance, moisture resistance and slip resistance (where joinery meets flooring) are built into conversations early so that compliance never feels like an afterthought.

Process, roll-outs and coordination

Our hospitality process mirrors the stages set out in our broader Bespoke Joinery overview, but with added emphasis on coordination, prototyping and repeatability.

1. Brief & brand understanding We start by understanding brand guidelines, operator requirements and your concept narrative. This helps ensure every piece of joinery supports the broader story.
2. Scoping and zoning Working with your drawings, we help define which areas require bespoke joinery, how they group into packages and where standardisation will help cost and programme.
3. Technical design & integration We develop detailed drawings, coordinating with AV, M&E, kitchen designers and FF&E so that every visible face and hidden junction is considered.
4. Prototypes, mock-ups and samples Key elements – for example a guestroom set or reception desk – are often prototyped or mocked up. We arrange samples and sample-room installations where helpful.
5. Production and roll-out We manufacture through our network of workshops, selecting partners with the right capacity and capability for multi-room or multi-property roll-outs.
6. Installation support and aftercare We coordinate deliveries, advise on installation sequencing and remain available for follow-on phases, refinements and future openings.

Connecting hospitality and residential joinery

Many of our hospitality clients also work on private residential projects, and we are often asked to carry a similar language across both. A members’ club might share DNA with a key client’s home; a hotel brand might want suites that feel more like apartments.

Our experience in both Hospitality Joinery and Residential Joinery allows us to tune details and materials so they feel appropriate in each context while remaining recognisably part of the same story.

Next steps

If you are developing a hospitality project and would like support on the joinery package, share your current drawings and any brand information with us. We can help scope which areas fall under bespoke joinery, suggest how they might group into coherent packages, and indicate how topics such as

Hotel Guestroom Joinery, Reception Desks & Lobby Joinery, Hospitality Bars & Back Counters, Amenity & Members’ Club Joinery and Spa & Wellness Joinery could support the narrative of the project. From there we move into detailed design, sampling and delivery in line with your programme.
