Walking around London, there is absolutely no shortage of corner pubs. Some of them even date back to the 1600s and have been serving food and drink steadily for decades.
The classic british pub is an inviting, warm place to duck into when the grey clouds and drizzle of London roll in, and the design and decor demonstrates that. They feature warm, rich materials with approachable and comfortable furniture that functions well for long stays.
If you have an eat-in kitchen and have always wondered what exactly to do with that space, why not turn it into a mini pub?! Using the color palette and materials of a classic british pub, turn your breakfast nook into a comfortable, inviting space with these easy tips and tricks.
Color Palette
Classic pubs often feature dark colors like hunter green, burgundy and black. These warm colors trigger our eyes to allow ourselves to feel warm and cozy. Additionally, they are classically British in heritage and style. Mixing up these dark, rich colors with chic textiles and stylish decorative pillows lets you find the perfect blend for your space.
Brass Accents
Most classic pubs I have come across all use brass as their metal accent of choice. Brass hardware and lighting has a vintage feel, while also having an expensive, regal feel. Choose dining chairs with brass nailheads and install a brass pendant light over your table to get that perfect, brass pub look.
Rich Woods
Whether you already have warm wood floors, or want to incorporate wood furniture, this is a staple of any classic pub. From medium to dark brown, warm woods bring a comfortable, approachable feel to the space.
Old World Detailing
The options are endless to add in old world detailing to top off your at-home british pub. From wainscoting to carved detailing to stained glass to accessorizing - adding in that antique element completes the space, and brings history to your contemporary design.
How will you turn your kitchen dining nook into a classic british pub?
