What do restaurant interior designers do?
To come up with and then implement a restaurant interior design is quite a task even for experienced restaurant interior designers. However, the young and competent specialists at Wallpaper Kenya have sufficient creative potential to successfully implement such projects. We make restaurant interiors convenient, comfortable, and memorable. It is necessary to make sure that the design of the entire restaurant matches the cuisine. Such a union will be evidence of the high class of the establishment. And this is the key to future popularity. It is no secret that those restaurants that are unique and comfortable enjoy success with visitors.
What is the average restaurant visitor like, and what are his wishes and requirements? There must be an answer to this question, which will determine the work of the restaurant interior designers when creating a design project.
The second important aspect is the specificity of the cuisine. It can be African, European, or Indian. But in any case, a special conceptual approach is needed. For example, it is planned that the cuisine will be Eastern. This means that the interior design of the restaurant will be developed in the same style. If the cuisine specializes in pizzerias, then the design will be in the Italian style.
Our task is to attract business for you
Understanding your business is the first factor we consider before starting to design your restaurant. Starting with the hospitality sector in general and ending with the niche of the restaurant we are going to design in particular. That is, its concept and specific business model.
We understand interior design as a commercial weapon with great potential. Therefore we use interior design to help you sell more, sell more expensively, and sell more often. This would be impossible to achieve if, before sitting down to design restaurants, we did not understand the business model we are to work on.
There are three key elements that a restaurant interior designer must focus on:
- Differentiation from the competition.
- Relevance to the customer.
- Intensity of emotional bond.
To do this, we need to know your business inside out. That is why prior interviews with you and/or your chef, analysis of published information on the subject, and careful observation of direct competition are essential.
What lighting to choose for a restaurant?
A competent lighting solution makes a big difference. As a rule, natural light falls from one side of the hall, but sometimes it illuminates the hall from two or three sides and even from above. Window displays allow the designer to connect the interior with the surrounding landscape, to create a panoramic view. This is especially effective in the evening when the dim light in the restaurant hall allows visitors to admire the view of the night city.
Well-placed artificial lighting can create the impression of a more spacious room. Light actively affects visitors, it can set the mood for a quiet conversation or a festive animation. The main thing is to be guided by the time and the environment, to know when full light or colored spotlights are needed, and when subdued light is appropriate.
The role of furniture in the interior of a restaurant
Furniture that harmonizes with the general character of the room aesthetically complements the interior of the restaurant. Its decorative design is very important for a complete interior. It is also responsible for a person’s mood, and the completeness of his rest. Only comfortable, beautiful furniture can provide all this.
The designer faces the primary task of determining what is special about your particular restaurant. For example, it is a good bar. This means that this advantage should prevail in the design project. In this designer’s work, everything should be connected: furniture, lighting, decoration, doors, windows, and decorative elements. And, most importantly, it should emphasize the unique style of your restaurant.
What restaurant interior designers account for
Restaurant Design is a complex discipline because to design a restaurant that works, you need to know NOT only about interior design, you need to understand the hospitality industry and master the language that emotionally engages customers with the restaurant’s business strategy.
When working on the interior of a restaurant, we take many factors into account. The designer ought to know the quality and level of service to visitors, what the operating hours of the establishment will be, what its pricing policy is, and what similar restaurants are located in the same area.
In the old days, most restaurants looked like one huge hall, in which a person felt lost. There was no talk of coziness and comfort. In modern interiors, it is common to divide the premises into separate zones. These are small halls, divided very conditionally, but with meaning.
Unique interior design and happy visitors
Restaurant interior designers at Wallpaper Kenya pursue the main goal in their work: to create a restaurant design that, as soon as they cross the threshold, visitors feel themselves in a world of coziness and comfort. Such a design is a complex and at the same time harmonious composition on a given theme. At the same time, it should gradually, without abrupt transitions, transform into an exterior design. This is a subtle nuance, accessible only to professionals.
Kenya as a whole and Nairobi in particular have a large and developed network of restaurants. Becoming part of this business, opening a restaurant that will not be like the others and thus attract visitors is not easy. It will require solid financial investments, as well as time, patience, and a large reserve of energy. You can’t do without the support of the aces of the restaurant business. All this lasts about six months or more.
Why do you require professional assistance?
The financial component of this project can be judged by the cost of one square meter of the premises (the cost of the building is not taken into account). The business project has a chance to be successful if its initial idea is to create a cozy original establishment intended for both a meal and a pleasant rest. This means that you must have an accurate idea of your financial capabilities, where exactly the restaurant will be located, what target audience you are focused on, and what the cuisine of the new establishment will be. Based on these prerequisites, the idea and concept of the restaurant business are built. Wallpaper Kenya restaurant interior designers will provide professional assistance in the preparation and implementation of any ideas of future restaurant owners.
It is necessary to start with the creation of a specific, detailed project. At this stage, close cooperation between designers and the customer is necessary. The contractor must clearly understand all your requests and requirements to fulfill the main component of this business – the restaurant project. The specialists of Wallpaper Kenya are engaged not only in the creation of the project, we also take on the long procedure of drawing up all the documents necessary for opening a restaurant.
