Curzon Wimbledon

As featured in Time Out London.

Curzon Wimbledon has been a treasured independent cinema for over 15 years and remains a much-loved part of the local community. When the time came for a radical refresh, we were delighted to be part of the transformation.

Having worked with Curzon for many years, we have had the pleasure of watching the brand grow, expand and evolve.

For us, it’s always rewarding to see our clients flourish and to build relationships that grow over time. This project felt particularly special, as it was the first time our team was so closely involved in shaping the color palette, lighting, and overall atmosphere of the space, bringing a truly holistic design approach to one of South London’s most loved movie theaters.

Initial Concept

The goal was to create a space that felt both intimate and timeless, an interior that captures the nostalgic charm of going to the movies, with a contemporary, elegant edge that extends the experience before and after the film.

Inside Out’s in-house design team led the concept, developing the colour palette, material specification and spatial layout that would define the refurbishment.

The design journey began with a meeting between Inside Out’s team and Curzon to agree on the colour scheme - a warm, cinematic blend with brass accents. The palette features rusty rich tones, deep olive green, and muted mustard, creating a sophisticated and earthy harmony.

This evolved into the final scheme: a combination of velvet textures, dark timber and marble, lifted by subtle brass detailing to bring a soft glow to the interiors.

The result is a beautifully rich, layered and inviting space that encourages people to linger over a drink, relax with friends and enjoy the experience for hours.

Beautiful Banquette

The main lounge and bar area was designed to be the social heart of the cinema, a place for conversation, a drink, or a pause before watching a film in total comfort.

Helping to exude classic glamour and comfort, is a stunning curved bespoke banquette upholstered in green velvet with Byblos Jaspe patterned cushions to add depth and colour contrast. The banquettes curves create softness and flow, and works perfectly with the brass fluted Blume table bases topped with Calacatta Viola marble, adding an understated sense of luxury.
