HOSPITALITY and HOME
Spaces and places that people want to be in. For hospitality businesses, we understand the guest experience equals business success.

Whether your goal is to reimagine your personal space or your business, we're here to transform it into a place where people want to be. Your venue is an extension of your brand's identity. We will help you create spaces where guests instantly feel at home, experience genuine comfort, and want to return again and again. For homeowners, we understand your home should reflect who you are and how you live. We will listen to and support you in creating carefully considered spaces that are functional and distinctive. At Valentine Interiors, we create places where people feel relaxed, content and at ease. Places where people want to be.

Great projects are built on great teams.

When you take on an interior designer or builder, you are really taking on a team of people. We love working collaboratively, solving problems together and figuring out all the little things that make a project work.

Thanks Marcus Delaney & Co for such kind words. We have loved working alongside you and your team over the years.

We somehow manage to squeeze a little bit of us into our hospitality projects…

Let’s look at Happy Larry Deli at Spring Farm Village.

ORANGE.

Simon’s favourite colour, and part of our brief from Happy Larry Deli was to reflect the owner’s heritage.

So Simon immersed himself in orange throughout this project, loving every bit of it.

We designed the menu board using folded orange acrylic. The idea was to create something that could easily adapt as the menu changed, without having to reprint or rewrite an entire menu.

Each folded acrylic element can also be reversed when an item sells out, making a practical solution part of the design.

Happy Larry, and Happy Simon!

We somehow manage to squeeze a little bit of us into our hospitality projects…and The Salty Dog Hotel is no exception.

When we were creating this wall of art by a whole range of artists, the brief was all about capturing that relaxed, local ‘shack’ beach vibe. So who better to feature than Finn, Jane’s son, and his dog Hazel?

Finn loves the dog beach, and this little snapshot was exactly the feeling we were after.

Getting the shot, however, was another story.

Many takes. One strategically placed stick. One dog who was supposed to ignore every other dog in sight. And a lot of patience!

A few years on, Finn is a little older and Hazel is still very much Hazel, but it’s pretty special knowing they’re both now part of The Salty Dog story.

See if you can spot Finn and Hazel next time you’re at Salty.

We somehow manage to squeeze a little bit of us into our hospitality projects at times! It’s not always intentional, it just turns out that way.

We’ll share some of these little quirks with you over the coming week…to start with: The Waggon

This diptych is by artist Lynne Andrews, Jane’s mum. It would have been her birthday today too, so a special post on all fronts.

Lynne’s work is incredibly rich in texture and layers, and is a real analysis of human form. In fact, the whole room that we call ‘The Salon’ started with this artwork and all the components link back to it.

Next time you’re visiting The Waggon, have a drink for Jane’s Mum and enjoy her two works in ‘The Salon’. ❤️

The customer journey at Salty Dog is intentionally legible, with users drawn intuitively through a world of rhythm, colour and playful abundance.

Arches and curved forms reinforce this rhythm, referencing Palm Springs modernism while connecting back to a broader coastal language embedded throughout the venue.

Another project completed. Loved working with Delaney & Co on these two bathroom designs…the workmanship is 👌

The back bar at Salty Dog Hotel was designed as a deliberate shift in mood from the front dining room, warmer, slower, and more nostalgic.

Taking cues from laid back Palm Springs tones and the comfort of a suburban pub, we leaned into rich, grounded materiality and relaxed layering to create a space made for lingering. Durable flooring and robust finishes support everything from busy service through to long celebratory nights, while retained elements and carefully considered outdoor furniture maintain continuity rather than reinvention.

Soda Projects worked their magic on the outdoor fireplace moments, along with Field Labs and the impressive canopy out back, shaping a layered exterior experience that feels both generous and immersive. Demelza Rafferty weaved the brand through seamlessly, integrating interiors and identity so the experience feels cohesive at every touchpoint.

The result is a series of micro environments within a larger volume, ranging from social energy through to more intimate tucked away corners. Beachfront dining sits at the front, back bar lounge energy anchors the rear, and Frosty Dog’s theatrical frozen yoghurt experience completes the journey.

This is not a space designed for passing through; it is designed for staying. Dwell time is the point.

When choosing an interior designer, it’s worth looking beyond the finished spaces and considering the team behind them. Great projects are built on collaboration, and we’re proud to work closely with trusted builders, consultants and trades to create a seamless journey from concept to completion.

Projects like Happy Larry Deli remind us why we love hospitality design. They challenge us to think smarter, work harder and deliver maximum impact within real constraints.

Happy Larry presented an unusually shaped tenancy, a compact footprint and defined budget parameters, but these are often the projects where the most creative thinking happens.

Through careful space planning, clever storage and a highly efficient layout, we transformed the space into a vibrant and functional deli that works hard in every square metre.

The bold orange and burnt umber palette, inspired by the owners’ heritage, became central to the design story, introducing warmth, energy and identity throughout the interior.

Hospitality projects often demand quick thinking, creativity and an extensive knowledge of suppliers, lead times and construction realities, and this project called on all of those skills.

Working closely with the builder, we balanced cost and impact, selecting materials and detailing that delivered maximum effect without compromising budget or intent.

There was a real energy to the process, drawing on experience to know where to save, where to invest and how to make every decision count.

The result is a bright, happy and highly functional deli that reflects the spirit of its owners, Vaz and Uzma. It's welcoming, energetic and full of personality, and unmistakably Happy Larry.

Frosty Dog was designed as an instantly engaging experience that feels bright, intuitive and slightly theatrical. Customers are drawn into a world of colour, rhythm and playful abundance, with every operational detail resolved behind the scenes for clarity and ease.

When asked to design Frosty Dog at Salty Dog Kingston, the focus was on immediate user experience, instinctive flow within a compact footprint, and a space that feels instantly inviting and full of playful energy.

The ceiling mirrors the customer floor area below, defining the customer zone without separation. Concealed LED lighting and cut outs create a uniform glow, removing the need for visible fittings.

Arches introduce a playful rhythm, referencing Palm Springs in the 1950s and 60s, while connecting back to the wider Salty Dog language through the pool rail motif. They become the defining visual cue.

All finishes heighten energy and brightness. Gloss surfaces and tiled forms with defined nosing amplify reflection and curvature, creating a lacquered, almost liquid quality.

From a user experience point of view, everything is effortless. The customer zone is fully open, while all service functions are hidden. Yoghurt machines and toppings stations are fully integrated, intuitive for customers, and supported by a separate back of house system for efficiency, hygiene and speed of service. The coffee machine, in powder blue, references the coastal and beachfront setting.

Ultimately, Frosty Dog is shaped by clarity, rhythm and delight, designed to feel instinctive, energetic and just good plain fun. Bring it on.
