Colour and Culture at the Ruby Zoe’s hotel bar
The hotel bar and restaurant Interior Design at Ruby Zoe seizes the heart and soul of Notting Hill. There are many live music events and shops selling old vinyl records on Portobello Road in Notting Hill.
Ruby Zoe has captured this love of music and expresses this passion through various musical instruments. From trumpets hanging from the ceiling, a purple piano, and guitars displayed on the wall or standing alone. There are also a range of vinyl music covers used as artwork in its own right on the walls.
The interior design also includes lots of vintage vibe’s memorabilia, the largest item being a Ford Prefect. The registration plate with an A on the end, suggests this car was from around 1963.
Vintage Vibes and music memorabilia
The furniture colours make a huge impact, against dark grey walls and walnut stained flooring. Red, yellow, light blue, dark blue, and natural wood furniture are mixed to create a lively and enjoyable atmosphere.

The mixture of patterns and textiles we can see in the table top selection. The contrasting red Ice Cube table base mixes with the blue Terrazzo table top as an example.
Sustainability was key to Ruby Zoes. Many pieces such as the Terrazzo table tops and reclaimed timber tops with chevron pattern were carefully selected by the designers from Inside Out’s eco-friendly furniture collection which can be found here.
