Confessions Bar & Lounge: VIP Interior Design

Confessions Bar & Lounge is a VIP interior design proposal by Designed by Hutz for a restaurant, bar and live-music venue in Etete, Benin City. It turns a plain, open shell into a moody, layered lounge for 80 to 88 guests.

The floor is split into a 140 m² dining and lounge area, a 13 m² bar and an 8 m² stage and DJ booth. The look is black and crimson, with warm LED cove lighting, arched niches lined with slatted panels, and a backlit “Confessions VIP” sign on a textured entrance screen. Slatted wall panels around the stage and windows, fibreglass insulation behind the drywall and upholstered seating keep the sound clean for performers and limit noise leaking in or out. The washrooms continue the theme with a stone feature wall, backlit circular mirrors and floating timber vanities.
