Neutral and pastel color palettes in classic-style restaurants
The classic-style restaurant interior decoration is characterized by light tones: white, cream, tan, and beige. These colors convey tranquillity and relaxation. Combining them with wooden furniture, in a colour similar to those mentioned, is always a good idea. In small kitchens with little light, a classic style with light colors is perhaps the best option to achieve spaciousness and luminosity.
Another trend may be darker colors, with dark wood furniture, velvet textiles, masculine and sober touches, chromatic contrasts, and damask prints.
Therefore the classic style in the kitchen interior makes it easier to choose the color of the furniture. And it is usually white, black, light brown or dark brown furniture. Such shades are neutral and go well with most colors. This simplifies the selection of decor, which should be, on the one hand, restrained, and on the other – a bright touch in the interior.
Classic furniture
There are some essential elements for the classic style such as chandeliers, ceiling lamps, also works of art, and antiques… everything serves to maintain that luxurious atmosphere that this design concept requires.
Classic restaurant furniture also features fine wood: ebony, walnut, beech, and oak, always with elegant and sober designs. The pieces characteristic of the classic style are consoles, chests of drawers, wing chairs, trunks, armchairs, bookcases, and large wooden tables with turned legs.
Other key elements are large mirrors, armchairs, curtains with blinds, lamps with shades, poufs, stools, paintings…
Furniture also follows some basic rules, such as having large pieces.
The traditional chandelier is another essential piece in the classic style. Also the antique style pieces, works of art, and many other furniture and accessories with a classic, timeless, and antique style.
Furthermore modern interpretation of classic kitchens allows to use not expensive solid wood, but more affordable MDF and chipboard, which completely imitate the pattern and the desired shade of wood. Today, classics are not necessarily expensive, but always impressive and elegant.

Details in classic restaurant interior design
Walls
Classics love wooden wall panels and smooth plaster. Wallpaper in the interior in the classical style, as a rule, is smooth, with a traditional pattern – monograms, stripes, and plant motifs. Neoclassicism allows Venetian plaster with a rich texture.
Ceiling
Ceiling decoration is more complex and richer than wall decoration. A flat white surface is not for the classics. Typical decoration is stucco, rosettes, borders, and other elements that give the ceiling an interesting look. A modern interpretation of the classics allows multi-level stretch ceilings.
Floor
The floor in the interior of the classical style is mainly natural, stone, or wooden. In addition to natural parquet flooring, the following are allowed:
- Laminate under wood or stone.
- Ceramic tiles.
- Carpets and rugs with plant patterns.
Balance is important: the higher the ceiling in the room, the thicker the skirting board should be.

Features of lighting in a classic restaurant
Proper lighting can highlight every detail in the interior in a favorable light. But for a classic restaurant interior, lamps are not only an addition to the interior decoration but also an independent, very important element. As a rule, these are voluminous chandeliers made of crystal or expensive glass, bronze chandeliers with lampshades imitating candles, which can complement wall and table lamps, sconces with lampshades, as well as floor lamps with crystal pendants. All of them should not only match each other but also harmoniously fit into the interior.
Centre-piece
The leading role in such interiors is most often played by a chandelier located in the center of the room which illuminates the entire space. Other lighting fixtures are located symmetrically, so they are duplicated. It is best if the lamps or floor lamps are completely identical, and not just made in the same style. This will emphasize the rectilinearity of the space and the balance of the compositions.
Space
It is difficult to decorate a room in a classic style if it is a small room in a multi-story building. Massive chandeliers require at least high ceilings, otherwise they will not become a decoration of the room, but an obstacle to movement. In addition, richly decorated crystal chandeliers will look disproportionate in a small room with low ceilings and without the appropriate interior (since massive furniture and other elements of the classic style are also difficult to place in a small space).
Focus on Service
Conclusion
It doesn’t matter whether you need furniture for the dining room or the kitchen – classics always remain in fashion. And therefore there is no need to constantly update furniture and fittings so that the restaurant set does not look outdated. This is an important argument for people who want to do repairs as rarely as possible.
The classic style has been honed for centuries and therefore has reached almost perfection in the elegance and simplicity of furniture lines, interior decor, functionality, and ergonomics of cabinets and surfaces. It allows you to use even the latest technical innovations, embedding and hiding them behind solid wooden doors.
