3. INTRODUCTION
Theme is an overlay to a concept.
Theme based interiors have an instantly recognizable, easily articulate concept
that can be summed up in the interiors, reflecting a specific culture or
environment.
Mostly we see these in Restaurants and Cafeteria, Commercial and Office
interiors.
There was mixture of themes found in the restaurants designed outside India from
“Horror” to “Devil”, “Cartoons” to “Film characters”, “Village” to “Contemporary
themes”, “Colonial themes” and “Nature loving themes”.
In Indian restaurants “Folk themes” of different communities and traditions were
more prevalent.
4. “Chor bazaar” theme one of a kind was not found in the restaurants situated
outside India.
The implications of the study would assist the designers to broaden their vision and
scope in designing projects.
Today’s society has become all about the other “time and place” through escapism.
In our modern society, a popular form of escapism occurs frequently with dining
out.
Theme and experiential entertainment restaurants provide not only another time,
space, place, atmosphere or environment, but also a memorable experience for the
user to take away with them.
All restaurants provide an experience to any user, to create an “out of the ordinary”
environment.
5. OBJECTIVE
The present study was undertaken to find out the interiors with the existing themes
within and outside India with reference to colonial theme.
The proposed study was limited on the available information derived from case
studies of the theme restaurants in India and Abroad.

22. Conclusion
■ The original purpose of this research was to write a theory on general theme
design and record a source of information about theme and entertainment history.
■ Being such a huge area of design, I picked one area of theme design to focus on
restaurants. The empirical data on the theme restaurant highlighted that there
existed theme restaurants in India as well as outside India too.
■ In India the trend of theme restaurant still in infancy stage prominent since the last
decade only, whereas outside India their existence was marked since 1950‟s,
almost six decades earlier than India.
