Hustles

Hustles is a bespoke interior design project curated for a private snooker bar that merges industrial rawness with sleek modernity. The objective is clear: to craft a social haven where patrons can immerse themselves in the tactile pleasure of snooker, the casual joy of drinks, and the spontaneity of human connection—all in a setting that feels bold, comfortable, and effortlessly stylish.

At the heart of the space lies a design language grounded in contrasts: exposed elements like red-brick feature walls and open ceilings meet the smooth sophistication of custom high-end pool tables, anchoring the space in both heritage and performance. These visual textures work in tandem to create an inviting yet energized atmosphere, ideal for after-hours relaxation or lively group gatherings.

The bar area serves as a central focal point, defined by its corrugated metal panel façade and dynamic LED backlighting, which casts a cool blue glow across the seating zone. Behind the bar, backlit bottle shelves provide rhythm and transparency, showcasing a curated liquor selection while acting as a statement piece. This functional lighting system not only enhances visibility but also offers a customizable ambiance—shifting seamlessly from relaxed lounge vibes to energetic nightlife scenes with a click.

Overhead, disco-inspired ceiling lighting injects a playful, unexpected character into the otherwise industrial backdrop. These programmable fixtures can wash the space in color, transforming Hustles into a multi-sensory environment suited for private parties, themed events, or sports-viewing nights.

Furniture selections echo the design intent—black leather bar stools, metal frame chairs, and deep-toned flooring contribute to a cohesive palette that feels grounded yet contemporary. Strategic placement of multiple screen displays and ambient wall lighting ensures an immersive social experience without overpowering the visual clarity of the space.

Every material, fixture, and layout decision in Hustles is rooted in intentionality: to elevate the snooker bar beyond a recreational space into a lifestyle destination. It's not just about the game—it’s about the mood, the lighting, the interaction, and the lasting impression.
