When I approach a hospitality refresh, I don't start with the colours. I start by watching how your business works.

Where do customers queue? Where do they sit? Is there congestion? Does the lighting work? Can people comfortably hear each other?

These details might seem small, but they affect your customers' experience, how long they stay and ultimately, your numbers.

Only when we've understood how the space functions do we start thinking about how to make it look cracking.

*Function before form. Always.*

Running a restaurant, café, bar or guest house that could work harder for you?

Most chippies don't need a prettier room. They need a faster one.

Giacopazzi's in Eyemouth had invested in a new fryer. A big one. Big enough that we worked with the manufacturer just to get it in.

So we didn't start with colours. We started with the queue. Where people stand. Where orders go. Where the fryer sits so service keeps moving at the busiest hour.

Then we built the room around it.

Design isn't the paint. It's the flow.

Busy, but the room is working against you? Book a free 15-minute call.

For twenty years I ran Decodence alongside a corporate career. On purpose.

Restaurants in Edinburgh. Holiday lets in Perthshire and Northumberland. A castle guest wing. A six storey mill that ended up on BBC Scotland's Home of the Year.

The corporate career has gone. Decodence hasn't.

Design that earns its keep. Spend where your customer notices. Nothing where they don't.

I’m Elina, and I’ve run Decodence for twenty years.

Restaurants. Holiday lets. Homes. A six-storey mill that ended up on BBC Scotland’s Home of the Year.

We’ve been quiet on here since May. Not quiet on site.

From Monday, real projects. What we spent, and where we didn’t.

Function first. Then the finish.

FREE MASTERCLASS Wednesday 16th September, 7pm UK

Your £150,000 is sitting in the bank right now, quietly losing value to inflation. Nobody tells you that part.

I'm teaching the first part of my Flip to Freedom method live, free, on Zoom. My floor on every flip not my average, my floor — is 20% profit. This is the framework behind that number.

No property background required. Just one evening and an open mind.

POV: You walk into a restaurant… and accidentally end up ordering a £120 bottle of w**e 🍷

This was never “just a room.”

At Mamma Roma, the brief was simple:
Create a space that sells the experience before the menu does.

So we designed a Wh**ky & W**e Room that:
– feels exclusive (without being intimidating)
– elevates perceived value instantly
– and quietly encourages guests to stay longer… and spend more

Because great design doesn’t just look good.
It changes behaviour.

From overlooked corner 👉 to the most desirable seat in the restaurant.

This is what happens when interiors become strategy.

Would you book this room?

Thank you to pictorial__photography for the great pics!!

"The Barnsbury Road reveal almost looked completely different."

Our first instinct on this project was to go bolder: a feature wall, more layers, more colour. Then we walked into the room on a Tuesday morning when the light was coming through those original sash windows and we stopped.

The room told us exactly what it needed, and it wasn't more. We pulled back the brief, chose every piece with surgical precision, and trusted the Georgian architecture to carry the weight.

The ladder shelf, the boucle chair, the single framed artwork, each one earned its place. That editing process? That's where premium design actually lives.

Curious what we'd do with your space? DM us, the first conversation is always free.
