Pub interior design: our tips for your venue

Decorating a nightspot isn't as easy as it looks: you need a distinctive, original style to make your pub stand out from all the others in town. In this guide, Pixtury will help you decorate your rooms in the best possible way with the wall art you will find for sale in our gallery. We have picked three different styles for three different types of venue, exploring particular niche genres: a music pub for customers who love music and a relaxed atmosphere, a Hipster-style bar for a more ‘upmarket’ crowd, and finally a Caribbean bar for those who love summer nightlife.

Decorating your bar in Music Pub style

A classic, timeless style is the music pub with a ‘rock’ vibe: pints of beer, good food and good music, all set in vintage-style surroundings. It is important to create a welcoming place where people can get together for a relaxed evening, sipping craft beer and tucking into a burger. This type of venue calls for wooden, dark-toned furnishings: we recommend heavy rustic tables and wooden chairs in reddish-brown tones (reminiscent of old taverns). The prints we recommend show details of musical instruments and sheet music, which you can find in the music prints and posters section of our gallery. We also suggest hanging the pictures beneath small lights to show them off at their best.

For the lighting in your venue, take inspiration from the colours and shades typical of concert lighting: it will feel like being on a real stage!

Pub décor in Hipster style

Let's move on to a more fashionable, less laid-back style: the Hipster style, which originated in the 1940s and has come back into vogue in the United States in recent years. It is a fairly simple genre, but if it is used the wrong way in your venue, it risks looking clichéd or unoriginal. The setting should be elegant but also inspired by minimalist décor: alternative music should be playing and it would be a good idea to serve organic food. Don't forget references to recycling (essential to this culture!) and, above all, try to creatively reuse everyday objects that are no longer usable as furnishings. Along these lines, have you ever thought about furnishing your venue with pallets? Repurpose them as tables, seating or decorative features and they will look fantastic! Photography is very important in Hipster culture: young people who follow this trend especially favour black and white posters and wall art, typically with urban subjects. So it will be essential to hang the pictures on your walls with care and originality. We have put together a selection of the best prints for your venue, but you will find many more for sale in our gallery of prints and canvas wall art.

Decorating an exotic nightspot

If you decide to open your business in a seaside resort, the best choice is to recreate the perfect Caribbean-style bar: your customers will be able to sip cool cocktails on bamboo benches, in a fresh, bright atmosphere. Colour is an important element for this type of bar: it should evoke the warm, crystal-clear atmosphere of tropical islands. Make clever use of white and straw tones in the bar's décor. The prints we recommend will help bring that climate into your venue: our photographers have managed to capture the essence of those landscapes in the images we have selected.
