Ideas For Interior Design For Restaurants

By Leslie Ball


Designing a restaurant's interior can be really challenging, but it's a huge part of the process towards having a successful establishment. Positive reviews will come not only from the quality of the food, but also from the dining experience on a whole and this includes the atmosphere. The following ideas on interior design for restaurants should be able to help you decide what you want as your final result.

The first thing that will indicate what type of decor will work inside the chosen location is, of course, what type of food is being served. Decide if the key theme should be based on cultural aspects due to type of cuisine. Alternatively, choose the decor based on the type of customer the food is geared towards, for example teenagers or dining for couples.

If the cuisine is specific to a particular region of the world, then it's always a great idea to include elements that nod to the relevant country. Research the history of the country in question. There are amazing aspects of these cultures that can be incorporated with a modern twist.

A space with high ceilings is a real gem to work with. Go all the way with the drama by fitting floor-to-ceiling windows. Chandeliers will exaggerate the grandeur of the space. A sophisticated monochromatic colour scheme with areas of deep tones like burgundy and purple will add a royal feel to the space. Hints of gold will do the same.

Large spaces provide the perfect forum for showing off amazing artwork. Choose conversation pieces so that diners have a good distraction while they wait on their food. Also consider playing with proportion by strategically placing seating of various styles throughout the space. For example, chaise longues work well in the entrance, while plush chairs with beautifully carved armrests add to the grandeur of the dining room. Tables should be sturdy and strong. Consider using lamps instead of candles.

For a smaller space, mirrors will do wonders to give the feeling of openness. Strategically placed mirrors that reflect the light will have a great impact on the setting, and there won't be much need for any other excessive decor. Consider placing mirrors on the ceiling for an interesting twist.

If your establishment is geared to more traditional meals like high tea, or even unusual interesting dishes, why not be inspired by stories that reflect the same, such as Alice In Wonderland? Use angular shapes and patterns to create optical illusions and be bold and daring with your furniture choices. Reference the tale itself by using huge props as decor, like a pocket watch or maybe a tea pot.

For a restaurant that has more of a chilled vibe, muted colours and dark tones are best. Particularly for an underground artistic crowd, black and white photography on the walls or other interesting modern artwork will add a lot of ambiance. Think about creating a separate space where diners can express themselves while they wait, such as a doodle wall or photography booth.
