Read a few of our tips to make your restaurant design outstanding.
Restaurant Interior Design
Lighting
Proper lighting can be a conversation piece, enhance furniture, highlight impressive parts of your restaurant design and increase the appeal of your building to your clients.
Lights speak to the entire vibe of your space. Dim lighting can create the feeling of intimacy, or neon lights can give the room more energy.
Colours
Take your time when choosing colours for your commercial restaurant interior design. Consider the height, size, natural light, and theme of your venue before making your final decision. Colour choice makes your restaurant come together and speak your brand, so choose wisely!
Restrooms
Restrooms are often neglected when planning a cafe and restaurant interior design. Avoid making your restaurant bathroom an unpleasant detour and instead, make it an enjoyable experience for your guests. If your restaurant is on the subtle side, your restroom gives you an opportunity to add a little flair with whimsical wallpaper or funky tile.
Tables
It’s important to arrange your tables to allow free movement of your customers without a struggle. Use different shapes and sizes of tables to meet the needs, demands, and privacy of each customer.
Kitchen
Open kitchens are the new hot trend. People love to watch your menu come to life. Try incorporating elements like glass doors, half walls, and open shelves so guests can see how your chef prepares their dish.
Restaurant Exterior Design
Don’t ignore the exterior of your restaurant. What people see when they drive by could be the difference between stopping in for an impromptu bite or becoming another forgettable establishment on their way home.
Accessibility
Don’t choose a location that immediately cuts off some of the people who may want to visit you. You always want to create the best experience for your guests. You can accomplish this through a great restaurant design team, like ours at Iris Construction Management!
Signage
Let your brand do the talking. Your signage should be the first thing that communicates your restaurant concept and brand to the public. Outdoor signs are responsible for bringing foot traffic to your establishment.
Pro tip:
- Make your sign visible at night
- Choose a sign that piques interest
- Don’t crowd your sign with too much information
Menu boards can be a great way to grab the attention of people walking by.
