The Restaurant Entrance
The entrance area to a new restaurant can be as
important as the inside when it comes to gaining new
customers. Depending on your theme, you can use
signs, music, lighting, awnings, and flowers to make an
attractive restaurant entrance. While the dining room,
bar, and kitchen are important parts of a New
Restaurant Design don’t forget the outside/ entry area.
After all, it is the first area that customers see.
Signage, lighting, seating, and decorations are just a
few areas to consider when opening a new restaurant.

Restaurant Interior Design Considerations
Interior design is an extremely important factor of any
restaurant. You may need to think about a restaurant
attentively, if you're in the planning stages of starting it,
should you already possess one and are thinking
about making changes. Interior design is an awful lot
more than determining which light appointments to use
and what color to paint the walls.

The Waiting Area
Not all restaurants have the space to designate as a
waiting area. Those do have space may opt to keep it
separate, while others incorporate it into a bar area.
Along with benches or chairs for customers to wait
comfortably, your waiting area should also have some
menus nearby for customers to peruse as they wait.
This is also a good place to display a bulletin board of
other events at your restaurant (Wine Testing), weekly
specials, happy hour, etc.).

The bar
If you plan to have a full-service bar in your restaurant-
one that customers can sit at for drinks and a meal- it
should be as welcoming as your dining room. It should
also be functional for the restaurant since it is where
servers ordering and pick up drinks for their tables.

Your dining room set up doesn't create a mood in the restaurant - it also
affects the way your staff functions as well as the customer's comfort and
overall dining experience. The dining room is where the customers gather,
and it should be welcoming and comfortable. Check with the local fire code
marshal or other authority about the seating capacity of your dining room.
Once you know how

No matter what type, size, or location- every restaurant has a basic layout that includes some
general areas including an entrance, the kitchen, and restrooms. However, these areas are often
overlooked in the general design of a restaurant, when new owners tend to focus on the dining room
or bar. Paying attention to the small details of a new restaurant will help produce a positive customer
experience and build business right from day one.

BAR
Allow at least 36 inches between the bar and the back bar or wall.
This is a bare minimum to allow a single bartender space. If
constructing a large bar, where it is possible more than one person
will be behind the bar, allow more space.
Back bar tops are generally the same height as the front bar, but can
vary. » Home bar tops are usually between 12- to 16-
inches wide. Commercial bar tops vary from 20- to 28-inches in width,
including a drink rail (or trough) on the server side of the bar. Drink
rails are typically 3/4-inch deep by 4-inches wide.
In most cases the available bar service area of 5 feet per 100
guests is the minimum required. For example: a bar area for 300
guests should be a minimum of 15 feet side to side keeping in mind
that the required number of bartenders will each require about 4 feet
of room.
Bar height should be 42” – 45” (1067mm – 1143mm). The bar top
should be 30” – 36” (762mm – 914mm). The inside edge of the bar
top should overhang the bar die by 11” (279mm)
The overhang for a countertop mounted in this fashion should be 18
inches to allow adequate knee-room when you sit at the countertop in
a standard dining chair. For countertops used with a counter-height
stool, you need a countertop height of 36 inches. The overhang need
not be more than 15 inches on these countertops.
The bar top overhang should be a minimum of 8-1/2” and could be
as much as 10” so your knees do not hit the bar front. For our extra
tall customers the

COFFE SHOPCOFFE SHOPThe Concept of the Cafe
The first thing that you need to consider before planning your cafe interior design is your concept. What
type of cafe do you want your establishment to be, what will the prices be, what kind of coffee will you
serve, are you going to be a friendly neighborhood cafe, a mid-priced commercial cafe, a cafe near a
university campus or are you a high-end cafe on a posh street. While your customer demographics will
be fluid, the type of customers visiting a mid-priced cafe will vary slightly from those visiting the high-end
coffee shop. Moreover, with a change in price, customer expectations will change as well. To deliver the
best environment, think

Why Cafe Interior Design Is Important
All sorts of people come into a cafe. While a
target audience exists, it is still fluid and
vague. Unlike restaurants, no single ambiance
is offered in a cafe, and people are free to do
what they want as they sit behind their laptops
or binge on a book.

Privacy
As noted earlier, cafes host both people who want to interact and people who don’t. Thus achieving
the correct measure of privacy in a cafe dictates the placement of interior design elements. A balance
must be created to cater to both types of audience. Thus the placement of the furniture, the distance
between fixtures, the volume of music and the kind of interior used will cater to varying levels of
privacy needs.

Color Psychology
Color in your coffee will be the first
thing that your customers will notice.
They will be important to get your
concept across, but at the same time,
you must pick combinations which
create the mood you want them
to. Colors like reds and yellows are
considered to be diet stimulants since
they create an impulse in our minds.
This is one of the major reasons why
almost every food joint incorporates
these colors to the interior design in
varying degrees. At the same time,
they will make your customers
spontaneous and make them leave
quickly. Hence if you want to increase
your table turnover time, do not use too
much of these and stay away from the
brighter shades. Instead, mix them with
more subtle
and relaxing tones like pastels. This
will create a nice balance and keep the
colors from overpowering the
customers.

How Lighting Affects Cafe Interior Design
Even if you have the best interior design in
the world, incorrect lighting can ruin it. Stay
away from very bright lights that seem
unnatural. This is because your aim with a
cafe is to create a comfortable environment.
Very bright lights will over-power your
customers, distract them from the food and
make them uncomfortable. Dim lights work in
a coffee house if you want to give a rustic
and exclusive impression. They will create a
mood which will make your customers feel
like they just got into a separate zone, away
from the everyday world, but make sure that
there is still enough light for them to see
comfortably. Dim must not mean dark. If this
is not the sort of cafe environment you want,
our suggestion is to recreate day-time
natural light as well as possible.

COFFE SHOPCOFFE SHOPAcoustics And Why They Matter
‘Sound’ has its way to make us feel various emotions. Our brain reacts to different types of sounds differently.
That is why acoustics are an essential element of restaurant cafe interior design. A cafe is a place where people
either come to socialize or work in their private spheres, hence unlike bars, extremely loud music in a cafe will be
a turn-off. Loud music also creates impulses which complement the bar setting and promotes patrons to drink
more liquor, but the same is not true in the case of cafes. Hence you must regulate the volume and pick a playlist
that provides background music to kill the silence but at the same time, allows a free flow of conversation.

COFFE SHOPCOFFE SHOPScent Psychology
Finally coming to the last element to your ambiance- Scent. Even the way your
cafe smells will create different impulses and solve different purposes. Some
restaurants allow their dining area to smell of food as it triggers hunger. Most
cafes smell like coffee not because a lot of coffee is being prepared there. They
do so because they want the people outside and inside to crave for coffee by
being reminded of the taste through the scent and then order more. The smell of
cucumber makes a room feel bigger and airy, a handy scent for peak hours.
Vanilla, on the other hand, is a relaxant and makes people linger, but don’t go
overboard with it as it can trigger allergies or headaches.

MOVIE THEATERMOVIE THEATERSince humanity started gathering to tell stories and represent
scenes from everyday life in front of an audience, the need for a space to perform such activities began to
increase. Theater design developed from the open-air amphitheaters of the Greeks and Romans to the incredible
array of forms we see today. Though some forms work better for particular types of performance, there is no ideal
shape or size of a theater. The choice of the best form and scale depends on the functional purpose (movies,
lectures, stage performances, musical presentations), the size of the staging required and the number of the
audience to be accommodated. Let’s see which are the basic parts that comprise a theater and the most common
types of today’s theater design.

Design a functioning Auditorium according to the type of performance and the number of the audience
It is the part of the theater accommodating the audience during the performance, sometimes known as the
“house”. The house can also refer to an area that is not considered playing space or backstage area. This
includes the lobby, coat check, ticket counters, and restroom. The amount of space required for each auditorium
depends on a number of factors but the following guides, based on modern seating design can give you an idea
of the area needed:
200 seats: 270m² | 2,900 ft2
150 seats: 190m² | 2,000 ft2
75 seats: 125 m² | 1,350 ft2

MOVIE THEATERMOVIE THEATERThe continental seating plan
If planned carefully, the continental aisle arrangement can accommodate more seating within
the same space. Usually, it requires an average of 7,5 square feet (2,3 square meters) per
person including the seating area and the space for aisle-ways.

The stage is important: choose wisely
The stage is the designated space where actors and
other artists perform and the focal point for the
audience. As an architectural feature, the stage may
consist of a platform (often raised) or series of
platforms. In some cases, these may be temporary or
adjustable but in theaters and other buildings devoted
to such productions, the stage is often a permanent
feature. There are several types of stages that vary as
to the usage and the relation of the audience to them:

Flexible theater:
Sometimes called a “Black Box” theater, these stages are
often big empty boxes painted black inside. Stage and
seating not fixed. Instead, each can be altered to suit the
needs of the play or the whim of the director.
Profile Theatres:
Often used in “found space” theaters, i.e. theaters made by
converted from other spaces.
The Audience is often placed on risers to either side of the
playing space, with little or no audience on either end of the
“stage”. Actors are staged in profile to the audience. It is
often the most workable option for long, narrow spaces like
“store fronts”.
Scenically, a profile theater is most like an arena stage; some
staging as background is possible at ends, which are
essentially sides. A non-theatrical form of the profile stage is
a basketball arena, if no-one is seated behind the hoops.
Sports Arenas:
Sports arenas often serve as venues for Music Concerts. In
form they resemble very large arena stage (more accurately
the arena stage resembles a sports arena), but with a
rectangular floor plan. When used for concert, a temporary
stage area often is set up as an end-stage at one end of the
floor, and the rest of the floor and the stands become the
audience. Arenas have their own terminology

Keep the scenery low for better visibility
In the Theater in the round or the Arena Stage Theater, the stage is located in the center of the
audience, with the audience members facing it from all sides. The audience is placed close to the
action, which provides a feeling of intimacy and involvement. However, this type puts major
restrictions on the amount and kind of visual spectacle that can be provided for a performance,
because scenery more than a few feet tall will block the audience view of the action taking place
onstage.

For greater intimacy with the audience, go with the Thrust Stage
A thrust stage is one that extends into the audience on three sides and is connected to the
backstage area by its upstage end. A thrust has the benefit of greater intimacy between the
audience and performers than a proscenium while retaining the utility of a backstage area. The
audience in a thrust stage theater may view the stage from three or more sides.

ART GALLERYART GALLERY
Art gallery
The way an art gallery is designed not only affects how visitors and customers perceive it
visually and navigates it spatially; it may even affect the gallery's level of economic success.
Flesh out the gallery design drawing with necessary utilities like lighting (an important
consideration for art galleries), a security system, a sound system and climate control to
maintain optimum art-preservation temperature and humidity levels.
