Bringing contemporary design to Tooting
Fusion By Design were asked to return to The Castle to assist client, Young’s, to revive their successful high street pub in Tooting.
THE BRIEF
After a large extension to the site 5 years ago which Fusion provided, The Castle needed a revival to update and freshen the interior and the beer garden. The existing colour scheme of neutral greys with fresh green highlights was still well liked and we were to add colour to this palette to compliment these colours and the existing exposed London brickwork. The existing furniture was to be retained and reused with new soft furnishings and new key lighting pieces to enhance the existing scheme. The well-used beer garden is a popular venue for al fresco drinking and dining and the furniture required reviving with new upholstery and paint finishes. We were to increase the covers externally by adding new furniture to the existing layout
THE DESIGN
Introducing deep blues and greens with highlights of coral to create a warm, rich bar with opulent velvet and floral patterns making an elegant and inviting bar area. A feature botanical wallpaper in the dining room brightens the central area and balances the bar and the conservatory with the vibrant green. The existing furniture was revived and the timbers finished with a natural oak stain giving a warm, reclaimed feeling providing a comfortable environment for guests. The colours become lighter and fresher towards the dining area and conservatory with bold teals and greens complemented with tropical patterns to link with the garden colours.
