Restaurateurs often call on an interior designer to decorate their establishment in order to offer their customers an original, unique, comfortable and spectacular concept.
The goal is to attract as many people as possible and make them want to come back again and again by creating an atmosphere that is tailored to what they are looking for. So what are the qualities that an interior designer has that can make a restaurant stand out?
A restaurant must impress its potential customers with its menu, of course, but also with an original and attractive interior design.
Opting for a banal theme like cozy, chic or modern is not enough to stand out from the competition. It is necessary to create innovative, original and timeless concepts, but still based on current trends, that customers will find interesting. To do this, the interior designer must be able to form a whole from carefully selected decorative elements and furniture.
Lighting is also an important element that must be used to create an environment that is adapted to the chosen style and that will please customers. The types of light to use, their intensity, their arrangement, their number, their color... Every detail counts to design a pleasant and attractive environment.
Finally, you need to know how to play with colors to create an original and attractive design for customers. The combination of warm and cold shades has been fashionable in recent years, for example, and offers practically endless possibilities. It is also possible to opt for more discreet and elegant colors and play with nuances. It all really depends on the theme and style.
The menu and prices alone do not define the high-end character of a restaurant. Other elements are indeed taken into account.
The restaurant must provide good quality seating so that customers can enjoy their food in optimum comfort. Air conditioning systems must also remain on to maintain an adequate temperature in the room, regardless of the weather outside. Finally, tables must be arranged in such a way that servers can move around freely, without disturbing the guests.
It is important to ensure that conversations between each group of people remain inaudible to others. Therefore, tables and chairs should be spaced at least 70 cm apart. In some cases, the interior designer will even have to play with the intensity of the lights in certain corners to preserve the privacy of the clients.
Amenities should be easily accessible to everyone and of course, kept clean and fresh at all times. Also, customers should be able to easily get to the bar, counter or toilets without disturbing others or drawing too much attention to themselves.
An experienced interior designer will have no trouble determining client needs and combining them with what restaurateurs are looking for to create an original and innovative concept. Furthermore, he will know how to use his creativity to create an attractive, practical, functional and above all personalized design, in the image of the owner.
