20+ years specialising in bar design
We know every bar is different, so we adapt our approach to suit your needs. Our services include:
Bar Interior Design: From space planning to decor, we design interiors that balance style and functionality.

Graphic Design: Menus, signage, and other branded materials to complete the look of your bar.
Our Bar Design Process
Our structured process ensures every stage of your project is well-planned and stress-free:
Step 1: Understanding Your Needs
We start by learning about your brand, values, and goals. This allows us to create a clear brief to guide the design.
Step 2: Concept Design
Working closely with you, we develop initial layouts for the bar, seating, and kitchen areas. Our team also designs visual elements, like colour schemes and branded graphics, to reflect your bar’s identity.
Step 3: 3D Modelling
Using advanced digital modelling, we bring the design to life, allowing you to visualise the final look and feel of your space.
Step 4: Technical Documentation
We prepare detailed technical plans that ensure every element is ready for building consent, pricing, and construction.
Step 5: Fitout Management
For clients requiring full project management, we oversee the fitout process, working with contractors to ensure the design is executed as planned.
Step 6: Styling the Space
We add the finishing touches, including furniture, lighting, and decor, to create a cohesive and welcoming atmosphere.

The team at Millé were recommended to us when we were looking for design specialists for one of our new venues down in Wellington. From our very first email enquiry to video call, our experience working with every individual in the team has been incredibly valuable. The team listens, bringing all of our ideas to life.
Nothing felt impossible or too hard and we could feel the team was invested in bringing designs to fruition, not just a job. The process from start to finish was so seamless and enjoyable, communication was always on point and I felt that Millé was really one of our team members we could call on any time.
If this rating doesn’t speak for itself, we’ve since worked on 3 more projects with Millé since our first one together and looking forward to many more! Absolute assets to the industry.
