In the heart of Westminster is Shepherd Neame’s little gem the White Horse & Bower. As well as the exterior transformation which reclaimed the building’s historical presence from a featureless facade, Emma Simmonds Design have created an authentic and welcoming interior through bespoke craftsmanship and choice of materials.

Positioned at the heart of the pub is a bespoke aged oak bar, which opens up the entrance and brings in more light. Drinking and dining areas are divided through bespoke joinery work incorporating incredible stained-glass windows. Comfort and character are introduced through banquette seating in aged leather and velvet. A sense of history has been layered back in through a salvaged timber fireplace and reclaimed light fittings. And then the piece de resistance, in our eyes, is the hand-painted embossed Fruit wallcovering from our Morris & Co. collaboration collection.

Each figurative element of the Fruit pattern was lovingly painted out by hand in jewel colours by signwriter and mural artist Artful Charlie to create a captivating focus wall.
