Some restaurant owners make the mistake of thinking that food is the only thing they need to focus on when starting a restaurant business. They soon realize it takes more than just delicious dishes to make a successful restaurant. Equally important to food is the restaurant ambiance, which as any successful restaurant owner will tell you, is not easy to create. The atmosphere plays a crucial role in the success of your restaurant business. It is therefore essential that you take time to decorate your place in such a way that the atmosphere would enhance your customers' dining experience.
Here are five fantastic decorating ideas to use for your restaurant.
Ornaments
Fantastic Idea # 1 - Decorate with Lights
When played right, lights can give your place a cozy atmosphere that would surely keep customers coming back for more. In the exterior, if you have trees or bushes lining a path to your restaurant, you can light these up with mini white lights to brighten up the façade. Now for the inside of the restaurant, you can add some candlelight centerpieces on every table as well as wrap lights around pillars.
Fantastic Idea # 2 - Adorn the Walls
Take advantage of the wide spaces on your walls to give your restaurant a terrific look. One of the best types of wall decoration would be canvas prints. The great things about this type of wall art are countless. For one, you can easily transform any photo or painting into canvas prints. Aside from this, art prints on canvas are not only inexpensive but also very beautiful, elegant, and artistic. The unique texture on the canvas can give any artwork or photograph a spectacular visual effect. Subject options on canvas prints may include food (obviously!), people, movie posters, ingredients, landscape, and many more.
Fantastic Idea # 3 - Wash with Colors
Have you ever heard of the term, color psychology? The thing is, colors have an effect on people's moods and feelings. This is why, the right choice on colors is an essential aspect of your restaurant decoration to ensure that you evoke the right moods and feelings from your customers. While blue is always a popular color, it is also known to be the least appetizing. In fact, blue is associated with spoiled food. So it won't be a smart idea to paint the walls blue, use blue ornaments, or serve food in blue dishes.
Instead, utilize green, brown, and red, which are the most popular in food colors. As you probably have noticed, red is the color most commonly used in restaurant decoration, as it is the most effective in stimulating appetite.
Fantastic Idea # 4 - Add some Greenery
Mini flower pots lined up in one corner of the restaurant is a good way to start. Adding tall clear vases filled with fruits topped with greenery on each table would also be a nice touch. Another great idea would be to decorate one corner of the restaurant with a trellis with some crawling plants. Be sure to dress up with lights for some cozy ambiance at night.
Fantastic Idea # 5 - Consider Various Factors
Of course, you cannot just go on with the decoration without considering some important factors like target market, budget, and theme of restaurant. When you do the suggestions mentioned above, take into consideration these three factors. For example, if you would use canvas prints to decorate the wall of your Italian restaurant, you would hang art prints that contain photos of pasta, pizza, and other Italian food you are serving. If your target market were young people, you would want to dress up the walls with fun and whimsical colors.
Decorating a restaurant can be challenging but it can also be a lot of fun. Use the fantastic suggestions mentioned above while taking into consideration the important factors of restaurant theme, target market, and budget.
