Dukes Bar
By Marlene Hudson Design
Welcome to Dukes Bar, where history and elegance collide in this classic building. When Dukes Bar and Restaurant approached us, we were thrilled to work on a project that respects and enhances the architectural elements of such a distinguished space. Our task was to revamp the bar area, keeping in mind the live jazz music that often fills the room.
We chose the stunning Metropolis Wallpaper by Catherine Martin to bring glamour and charm to the space, perfectly complementing the chandeliers, stained glass windows, and cornice. Our recommendations included new paint colours, wallpaper, furniture, and even some lush plants at the entrance to guide guests to the main door. The goal was to create an inviting and elegant atmosphere for both guests and casual diners to enjoy.

About the
Professional
I'm passionate about assisting clients express themselves within their home and workplace, by helping them find items and colours that mean they are surrounded by objects that make rooms feel joyful and welcoming to be in.
We love what we do, and work collaboratively with clients and suppliers, to achieve dreams and goals, whilst never loosing sight that the journey should be an enjoyable one.
Our approach is down to earth; we communicate openly, respect your time, try to delight you with a selection of options to choose from, document agreed decisions to make sure no one is relying on memory and follow up on deliveries to keep projects moving forward. We are also able to be your point of contact for trades to clarify details during site works.
We are based in the Central North Island which makes it easy for us to travel around the North Island to your site location. That's not to say we rule out working on projects in the South Island when the opportunity comes along.
