Bournemouth-based interior design company, KTM Design has given seafront restaurant, Hot Rocks a new lease of life as it undergoes a full refurbishment after a fire incident in October 2021.

Renowned for its eclectic menu of freshly cooked, authentic coastal cuisine from around the world, Hot Rocks is enjoyed by thousands of visitors every year since first opening in 1997.

John Green, Owner of Hot Rocks commented: “We’ve been eagerly anticipating our re-opening for months and decided it was the perfect opportunity to bring our space back to life with fresh and exciting ideas. We pride ourselves on our unique menus, style and ambience and were keen to allow the team at KTM Design to further evolve our theme, of which their new designs reflect and surpass.”

Katie Thomas, founder of KTM Design commented: “Hot Rocks is known for its diverse menu selection and incredible location, so we knew we needed to give its interiors a really vibrant refresh to do it justice. As well as giving the ground floor a makeover, we’ve redesigned the whole of the first floor, including a striking new vaulted ceiling main feature which will be made up of timber slatted and floral panels.

“Our design has been inspired by South American influences, focusing on a bright colour palette and exotic patterns to give the space a real ‘wow’ factor. The furniture will feature dark wood for a complementary finish, with vibrant colours and motifs splashed across furnishings. We’ve chosen a real hybrid of materials throughout, with a mix of rough, natural textures and soft velvets, and adorned the space with tropical plants for a truly exotic feel throughout.

“We’ve had a lot of fun with our designs for Hot Rocks and can’t wait to see them come to fruition as the restaurant re-opens. Customers are sure to get a welcome surprise when they walk through the doors!”

John Green added: “We can’t wait to show off our new look to our customers and give them a unique dining and drinking experience they won’t forget. Thank you to KTM Design for supporting our mission to reinvigorate Bournemouth’s restaurant and bar scene once again.”
