If you want to find out about the latest trends in the interior design world, look no further than the restaurants around you. And today’s growing trend of eating out means more new restaurants at every corner, each representing a different style and a new culture.
Moreover, with limited design budget and space constraints, most restaurant architects are executing new ideas and designs in a very cost-effective manner.
Add to that the influence of social media where food blogger and restaurant review sites can often make or break a restaurant’s reputation. With so much happening, it is but natural that restaurants serve as the new design inspirations for home decor.
Today’s restaurants have become the bellwether for interior styling, influencing both homeowners and architects alike.
Here are five restaurant design trends that not only look beautiful in a restaurant but will make your house look glamorous too!
Applied geometry
Take a look at some of the most-talked-about restaurants in Bangalore, and you will see that the majority of these eateries do not have any curves at all. The walls, furniture, artwork, and even the lights emphasise linearity. Long, straight spaces with lean, horizontal features make a small space appear larger.
This is applicable when designing a small living room. Instead of going for a circular coffee table or curved sofa, follow a more linear approach and go for horizontal or rectilinear options.
Retro is the new ‘NEW’
When it comes to restaurant décor, old-fashioned is not actually old-fashioned. In fact, some of the most up-to-date restaurants are actually retro-themed. Of late, retro-themed restaurants have gained a lot of popularity. Especially, because you have quite a leeway in choosing which era you are trying to showcase in your restaurant
Armless upholstered chairs and rustic wooden furniture evoke an old-world charm.
And this is something that can add ‘wow’ element not just to any restaurant but your house too! So, ditch those fancy furniture shops and look out for that vintage hardwood and rustic iron furniture piece on sale. Creating a retro look for any section of your house or the entire house can certainly make your home décor stand out.
Creative repurposing
Restaurant décor need not be pricey or expensive. Many restaurants employ creative hacks to cut costs. This cost-cutting mindset sometimes leads to some really creative innovation. For example, glass bottles are turned into light fixtures, and walls are decorated using wine corks or old plates, picture frames made of old fence boards, and so on.
You may not want to include everything you see in a restaurant, but when it comes to creative repurposing, restaurants can surely give you many interesting ideas.
Replace colour with texture
If you have been eating out frequently, you might have noticed that the only colours used by most restaurants are black, white and brown. Of course, there are some exceptions where one of the walls is painted in attractive, bright orange, yellow or red, but this is often limited to take-away or quick-serve eating joints.
When it comes to upscale restaurants, you will see that attention is on highlighting the texture of the material being used. Also, textures are used to create contrast.
For example, you can follow a monochromic colour palette for your bedroom and use textures to create one accent wall. Replacing colour with texture is an amazing décor trend that can be implemented in multiple ways in your homes.
Bring home the rustic charm
What is that one philosophy that is common in most recent restaurant designs? It is the use of unadorned materials in a very honest way. Here honest means raw, authentic, and even blemished.
A metal chair that is galvanised and shows some dents was probably put there on purpose! Think of a wooden table with paint that is rubbed away here and there and perhaps some grains or nail holes. And this rustic design trend which works wonders for restaurants can work for your homes too!
For a change, try bringing in that rustic study table or create a home bar with galvanised metal high chairs.
Accessorise it with some light fixtures that come down from a tangle of pipes and ductwork. Play around and add your personality to your home décor while still maintaining that rustic look.
So, which of the above restaurant design trends would you like to bring home?
