Restaurants wall design ideas one can choose from

Good use of light, texture, layout, and colour are key factors to keep in mind while designing the space. And since a restaurant has walls on all sides, it is crucial to decorate them with attractive designs. Here are some ideas to jazz up those empty walls.

Half-walls

For restaurants with vast open spaces, it is necessary to segregate that area into separate zones. Separate the dining area, kitchen, bar, and other zones creatively using walls. It creates easy transitions between different areas that help create a better customer experience.

For a view of sections, use a half-wall design, often seen in high-end restaurants. Guests sometimes want to see the other guests or roam their eyes around the entire space yet also have some privacy, and half-walls work in those scenarios perfectly.

Half-walls may use wood, glass, metal grills, and even trees. One can have slits between the panels or add shelves to almost conceal the rest of the view. More solid structures can be coloured or have eye-catching prints and shapes carved into them. Use plants and other artefacts to decorate the top shelf, or display your wine collection using bottles as decor.

Parametric restaurant walls

If your decor and furniture are toned-down and you want your walls to be the focal point of your space, design them in a parametric way which adds dynamic to them. Parametric walls add a three-dimensional artistic effect to a standard still wall. 

Choose from noodles like swirls or grid shells to create motion in your walls. You can extend the patterns to your ceilings above—if laid horizontally, these exterior panels turn protruding surfaces into seats. If your restaurant wants to create a ripple effect that mimics water waves, use thin wooden beams and stack them together in a ripple-like pattern. 

You can use parametric design to highlight a single portion of the wall, say a bar wall or just the edges of the ceiling. Use wood as its the most sturdy material and have its texture. This design idea can be expensive and time-consuming, so choose accordingly.

 Accent walls

If your budget does not allow structures on walls, a cheap method to bring a particular theme to your restaurants is to use accents. Using walls and creating designs will immediately attract a customer’s eye if you have a theme-based restaurant.

Use bold colours as your base or paint intricate details highlighting the wall. Felt- method uses triangle-shaped pieces of tiles or cutouts to create a vibrant pattern for a boring wall. They can have any shape or design. 

If your restaurant is known for drinks, think extra and have a wine accent wall. Place multiple shelves installed on your wall and stack those bottles as holders. Mural or printed wallpapers on a single wall will also attract anyone’s gaze.

There are no definitive rules for an accent wall; let your imagination run wild. Have a green wall stacked with potted plants, or use steel/copper to add a cold vibe to your space. You can have fun with any material sturdy enough and within your decor theme.

Walls with art pieces

Fan of art and paintings? Why not use an art piece to decorate your restaurant wall that will also become a highlight point in your decor? Buy paintings from your local artists to hang on your walls. Make sure you buy from local artists that will support them and be a conversation starter among your patrons.

Apart from paintings, you can use structured fixtures as modern art decor. Abstract light setups covering the upper half of a wall, digital art, and temporary art installations are some variety of art decor available. Some get fixed tightly; others can be temporary.

Themed walls

Restaurants that follow a specific theme or serve a particular cuisine can make perfect use of their walls to highlight that theme by decorating it accordingly.

For a high-end restaurant that follows minimal decor, use soft prints on your walls to create that gentle atmosphere. Bold-themed restaurants can use vibrantly printed wallpapers or colours to make their walls look loud. Use gold or bright red if you want a dark atmosphere. 

Smaller restaurants can hang full or half-length mirrors to create an optical illusion of a bigger space. Using the walls of your restaurant to amp up your decor has no limit when it comes to ideas and design. Let your creativity run free.
