A Masterpiece of Joinery and Design

One of the standout projects this year is The Cromlix Bar, part of the renowned Cromlix Hotel in Scotland. This luxurious country house hotel is a haven for elegance, and the newly redesigned bar is no exception. The space exemplifies how bespoke joinery can transform an interior into a refined and welcoming environment, perfectly fitting its surroundings.

 

At the core of The Cromlix Bar’s allure is its use of handcrafted joinery, which highlights the rustic charm of the Scottish Highlands while offering a modern twist on traditional aesthetics. The bar's custom-built features, including rich wood paneling, intricately designed cabinetry, and beautifully carved elements, make it a focal point of the hotel. Each piece of joinery was carefully crafted to complement the room's classic architecture, while ensuring that the space remained functional and inviting.

 

Not only does the Cromlix Bar reflect the heritage of its location, but it also embraces contemporary design, blending the old with the new. The use of local materials, sustainable practices, and time-honoured craftsmanship in the joinery work ties the space to its roots, creating an atmosphere of understated luxury that is both timeless and modern.
