Curzon Wimbledon has been a treasured independent movie theater for over 15 years and remains a beloved part of the local community. When the time came for a bold redesign, we were thrilled 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 is 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 were so closely involved in shaping the colour palette, lighting, and overall atmosphere of the space; bringing a truly holistic design approach to one of South London’s most loved cinemas.

Initial Concept

The project aimed to create a space that felt both intimate and timeless. An interior that would evoke the nostalgic charm of cinema but with a contemporary, elegant edge that would allow the time to be extended before or after the film.

Inside Out’s in-house design team led the concept, developing the color palette, material selection, 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 color scheme, a warm, cinematic blend accented with brass. The palette features rich, rusty tones, deep olive green, and muted mustard, creating a sophisticated, earthy harmony.

This evolved into the final scheme: a combination of velvet textures, dark wood, and marble, elevated by subtle brass detailing that adds a soft glow to the interiors.

The result is a beautifully rich, layered, and inviting space that encourages guests 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 theater, a place for conversation, a drink, or a moment of pause before watching a film in total comfort.

Adding classic glamour and warmth is a stunning curved, custom banquette upholstered in green velvet, with patterned cushions providing depth and contrast. The banquette’s curves create softness and flow, perfectly complementing the brass-fluted Blume table bases topped with Calacatta Viola marble for an understated sense of luxury.

The Jona side chairs, pair beautifully with the palette’s rich tones. Every element was selected to ensure a layered, comfortable and distinctly Curzon atmosphere.

A Glowing Refresh

When the project was revealed, it drew praise from Time Out London, which described the refurbishment as a “glow-up” for one of South London’s best-loved movie theaters. The refreshed Curzon Wimbledon balances familiarity with freshness. A space that feels cinematic, elegant, and deeply comfortable.

“The designs that Inside Out have created will offer a real sense of luxury and comfort.” says Curzon’s Head of Property and Development.

For Inside Out, this project represents the best kind of collaboration, where shared history, thoughtful design, and meticulous British craftsmanship come together to create something that feels both timeless and new.
