From the heart of 18th-century Paris to modern-day metropolises, restaurants have woven themselves into the tapestry of society. To remain at the forefront of this integration, restaurant owners must keep pace with evolving trends. Whether revitalizing a current establishment or crafting a new one, restaurant design must encapsulate the essence of modernity. Below are the RHC team’s favorite enchanting design trends to consider:
Open Kitchen & Layout
Enchant your guests with an open kitchen and floor layout. Allow them to partake in the culinary artistry, from the sights and sounds to the smells. An open kitchen offers a unique dining experience that engages all the senses, making it a popular trend.
Dazzling Outdoor Space
With the pandemic, outdoor dining options have become essential. Guests appreciate al fresco dining options, especially on beautiful days. Eye-catching design features like string lights, plants, and attractive shade umbrellas can make outdoor space more inviting.
Instagram Aesthetics
Incorporate design features that make your restaurant Instagram-worthy. Think eye-catching wallpaper, great natural lighting, decorative floor tiles, stylish dinnerware and cutlery, and unique, well-plated dishes. Hanging plants, neon signs, and exterior murals can add a touch of magic.
Go Wild with Textures
Incorporating textures throughout the restaurant adds to the ambiance. Try featuring indoor plants, unique wall decor, and stone or wood flooring. Transport your guests to a different world and connect your menu to the interior design.
Takeout Ease
With takeout orders on the rise, consider crafting a separate area just for takeout. A walk-up window or a designated area for delivery drivers will keep traffic flowing and prevent congestion in the dining area.
Festive Ceilings
Add a unique touch by incorporating design into your restaurant’s ceiling. Painting the ceiling a complimentary color or placing art on strings/wires that hang from the ceiling can add magic. Unique lighting fixtures such as chandeliers and string lights are also popular.
Mix and Match Furniture
Eclectic designs are becoming more popular, and contrasting furniture and cabinetry can add a unique touch. You can save money by finding unique vintage furniture items or find chairs and tables in similar styles but different complementary colors.
Feature Local Art & Handcrafted Goods
Incorporating local art and handcrafted goods, such as pottery, blown glass vases, or candles, supports the community and attracts patrons who appreciate locally-made products. Utilize locally sourced ingredients whenever possible to further support the community.
