It is necessary to make an effective design to attract customers’ attention. For this reason, good interior design is essential for a restaurant business.

In this article, I will explain the best restaurant design ideas.

Don’t Start Designing Before Determining Your Style.

Before you start designing the restaurant, you need to decide on the style you want to do.

The most important thing when determining your style is your target customer. After you decide that,  you should choose your target audience and design accordingly.

Every restaurant has its unique concept and content, and many more factors must be considered.

1-Pay Attention to Internal Positioning

One of the essential steps in restaurant decoration is positioning indoors.

People want to move freely and sit comfortably in restaurants.

You should prefer furniture not more than the customer capacity. Putting too many tables and chairs can have the opposite effect.

People want to talk to each other comfortably. To be able to create a private space for each table, there must be some distance between the tables.

Positioning the tables are significant for both waiters and customers.With enough passage areas, waiters have a better serving experience and customers feel more comfortable like it’s their own space. 

That’s why you have to create specific spaces between the tables.

If you have a restaurant with a view, it is important to position tables accordingly to maximize tables that can see the view.

2- Create an Impressive Entrance

One way to attract customers to the restaurant is to have an impressive entrance.

The entrance should be unique, stylish,and inviting. The entry is the definition of the first impression.

Make sure that the entrance is a design suitable for the restaurant’s concept!

3- Lighting

Lighting is critical in creating a successful restaurant interior design. Lighting is a significant factor in interior design.

The right lighting makes furniture more pleasant.

Your choice of the right lighting affects only the furniture style and is also very important in creating the atmosphere in the interior.

I recommend choosing warm tones as the light color.

Warm light will bring warmth to your space.

Properly placed lights on each table positively affect the communication between customers.

The right light colors are important because they affect human moods and emotions.

Make sure the lights can be adjusted according to the interior, colors, and time of day.

4-Pay Attention to Colors

Colors have the ability to create different feelings in our brains. In other words, colors can effect people’s attitudes.

Therefore, color selection is crucial in restaurant decoration. Your customers form an opinion about the restaurant as soon as they walk through the door.

Choose colors that will encourage people to eat, make them feel fresh, spend time indoors, and create a feeling of hunger. Support the colors you use with furniture and decorative details.

5-Restrooms

Restroom is a forgotten gems in restaurant designs. However, restrooms are extremely important.

In restaurants, you have to pay attention to the arrangement of the toilet and sink. You should also create a number of restrooms suitable for the customer’s capacity.

One or two restrooms will not be enough if you have a large customer capacity.

Restrooms in restaurants should be large, bright and easy to clean at the same time.

Finally, the location of the restroom is significant. The location of the restroom should not be close to the kitchen, which is an essential detail in terms of hygiene and smell.

6-Kitchen

The kitchen is an essential part of your restaurant.

Use glass doors and windows so your customers can see what’s happening in the kitchen.

Keep the kitchen bright, well ventilated, and spacious.

At the same time, get the positioning right with the restrooms.

Try to have more than one kitchen counters and keep the kitchen counter wide. Staff should have enough space to cook, walk and clean.

7- Floor

There are many flooring options for restaurants. But there are a few factors that you need to pay attention when choosing flooring.

1-Make sure the floor is not slippery. Whatever your material choice, don’t forget to add a non-slip coating!

2-Noise is a common problem in restaurants, so you should consider using floor coverings that absorb and reduce the noise.

Concrete and carpet may be good options to prefer. At the same time, acoustics are very important for large spaces, and you should add sound insulation panels to the walls and ceiling.

3-Most restaurant floors wear out quickly due to the rush of people and food spilling.

I recommend you to choose parquet flooring that is durable and aesthetically pleasing.

You can choose epoxy floors in restaurants.

4-I suggest you choose a floor that is easy to clean and does not require much maintenance.

Carpets are hard-to-clean floor coverings. Wood is easier to clean but requires regular polishing to maintain aesthetics.

Choose an epoxy floor that is very easy to clean, wear-resistant and low-maintenance.
