For several years now, restaurant decoration has become a very important activity to highlight a restaurant and to be remembered not only for the food, but also for the ambiance. It is very important from the choice of decorative style to lighting, materials and the incorporation of natural elements, every detail contributes to improve the customer experience, and in such a competitive market, with the decoration you will make the difference between your restaurant and others.

There are 3 key points to decorate a restaurant: start by defining a color palette, continue thinking about natural lighting and light points to create different environments, and finally the selection of furniture.

Color as the basis for decorating your restaurant

Choosing a good color palette is essential when decorating a restaurant, as colors have a significant impact on the atmosphere and diners’ experience. The right color palette can influence people’s mood, their perception of the space and how they feel during their stay in the restaurant.

First of all, colors have the ability to convey emotions and generate different sensations. For example, warm tones such as red or orange can create a welcoming and stimulating atmosphere, while cool colors such as blue or green convey tranquility and relaxation. It is important to consider the theme and concept of the restaurant to choose the colors that best align with its gastronomic proposal and its target audience.

In addition, the color palette can affect the perception of the space. Light colors tend to make a space appear larger and brighter, while dark colors can create a sense of intimacy and sophistication. In addition, this is especially relevant in table layout and furniture arrangement, as colors can influence the feeling of comfort and the fluidity of customer movement.

The choice of a good color palette is essential to decorate a restaurant effectively, for example in this restaurant Fray Melitón, we see how the blue tones of the chairs stand out with respect to the palette of earthy colors, sands, very natural tones. Or in this one, La Vaca Atada, where the warm colors in pastel tones, create an atmosphere very appropriate to the menu of the establishment.

In short, colors should be consistent in all areas of the establishment, from the walls to the furniture, textiles and decorative elements.

Lighting to decorate a restaurant

The selection of lighting fixtures and the use of natural lighting are essential elements when decorating a restaurant. Light plays a crucial role in creating ambiance, highlighting architectural features, accentuating the décor and creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere for diners. The right lighting can highlight the beauty of the place and create different atmospheres depending on the needs, more intimate or more lively.

First of all, the lamps chosen for the restaurant should be in harmony with the style and theme of the place. Whether you opt for modern and minimalist lamps, vintage style lamps or themed lamps, it is important that they integrate coherently into the overall decor.

We propose several models which can help you create the style and atmosphere you want. If you like natural fibers, we have the Kooper lamp, available in 2 sizes, made of natural rattan.

Another proposal, if you are into industrial style, is the Baron lamp, made of metal and finished in black paint.

But if you are more into sconces and your style is more vintage, the Devi model is perfect, in green and gold, made of steel and powder coated.

In addition to light fixtures, natural lighting is a valuable resource that can enhance the beauty of the restaurant. Making the most of natural light helps create a fresh, bright atmosphere during the day, which is attractive to diners. This can be achieved through large windows, skylights or even outdoor patios.

Well-designed lighting can make a difference in the perception of the space and the mood of those enjoying the dining experience in the restaurant.

Choosing the right furniture is essential when decorating a restaurant.

The selection of furniture and its style play a fundamental role when decorating a restaurant. The furniture should not only be functional and comfortable, but also reflect the style and identity of the place, creating a unique and appealing atmosphere for diners.

First of all, it is important to choose furniture that fits the concept and style of the restaurant. For example, a Mediterranean style restaurant may opt for wooden tables and chairs, while a more modern style restaurant might lean towards minimalist and clean-lined furniture. Consistency between the furniture and the overall style of the place is essential to convey a unified and attractive image.

In addition, the furniture must be functional and comfortable for the diners. Chairs and sofas must be ergonomic, allowing a proper posture and offering comfort during the stay. In this sense we have the Walter chair, Mediterranean style, made of wood and seat in natural fibers.

Another option, if you like more upholstery, is the Sabina chair, wooden structure and upholstered seat, available in different colors and patterns.

If your restaurant has high tables, we have stools that combine very well with the previous chairs. The Óptima comfort stool, structure made of metal, with seat and back made of synthetic rattan fiber.

Also have good tables, either the combination of wood or terrazzo tops with table legs or complete tables in solid wood. In this way we have the Finland table, a beautiful table made of recycled pine wood, and of course, has its own marks of the craftsmanship of the piece and the origin of the raw material.

Another beautiful table, which is very suggestive for the shapes, is the Bombay table, with solid acacia wood top with irregular edge and steel legs.
