Wimbledon is in full swing, and London is buzzing with tennis fever. To celebrate the height of the season, we are highlighting some of our favourite Wimbledon-inspired design touches. Join us on today’s blog as we serve up a selection of colour schemes inspired by the tournament’s timeless style and tradition.
All White
Players at Wimbledon follow a strict all-white dress code, a long-standing tradition that gives the tournament its unmistakable aesthetic. In this drawing room of a private residence, white has been used across the walls, offering a calm canvas that allows colour and creativity to shine. It is a moment of stillness within a playful palette.
White also plays a starring role in our guest bedrooms, where layers of crisp white bedding create the ultimate sleep sanctuary. Woven from a cotton blend with a silk-like smoothness, it is a cloud of comfort to sink into after a busy day in the city.
Strawberries and Cream
No visit to Wimbledon is complete without indulging in strawberries and cream. Sweet, ripe and in peak season, they are the flavour of summer and an enduring symbol of the tournament. This custom headboard in a bedroom at Crosby Street Hotel captures that spirit beautifully, with soft layers of red and creamy daffodil yellow, topped with a cheerful floral detail. It is a joyful tribute to this much-loved tradition.
Red and cream also come together to great effect in Residence 16 at Ham Yard Hotel. Beaded curtains and time-teller walls lend a relaxed, bohemian feel, while smart navy accents introduce structure and polish.
Centre Court Green
Wimbledon’s Centre Court is famously cloaked in lush Boston ivy and the surrounding grounds overflow with greenery and purple blooms, a graceful nod to the tournament’s official colours. Together they create a quintessentially English garden feel, with a refined tennis twist.
This mood is echoed in this bedroom at Knightsbridge Hotel, where rich green walls and co-ordinated upholstery offer a sense of calm and elegance from the moment you step inside. The design brings the outdoors in, capturing the serenity of a garden setting with a fresh, playful edge.
Skip the queues and catch all the action live at several of our Firmdale Hotels. Whether you are relaxing at Soho’s Refuel Bar or sipping a cocktail in Ham Yard Hotel’s lively courtyard, you will not miss a single serve. Discover more here.
