There is no doubt that the global pandemic created havoc in the hospitality industry. While many small-scale restaurants and diners had to close shops, most big names just had the bare minimum to stay afloat. But now, things are returning to normal, as in the pre-COVID days (thankfully). People are returning to the neighbouring coffee shops, bars, diners and restaurants to enjoy the pleasing crowd that they missed and craved these two years.
And these places are also going the extra mile to attract the crowd. They are introducing new menus and recreation facilities, not ignoring the safety standards that were put in place during the pandemic. But there is something else that these restaurants, diners and other food joints are doing for the sake of the crowd, i.e., renovating.
The owners are bringing in professional interior designers to spruce up the décor and change the look and feel of their places to make them more inviting. For example, we see some unique restaurant wall designs these days. Graffiti is back coupled with a touch of nature and eye-catchy lighting. However, it is crucial to understand what will see their way into 2023 and which will bid farewell to the public. Take a sneak peak!

And these textured walls also serve as brilliant selfies backgrounds for social media lovers, bloggers, vloggers and so on.
Then there are nature wallpapers that also enhance the green décor movement. Several local diners, restaurants and cafeterias are embracing the green wall trend with exquisite wallpapers, nature wall hangings, planters and more.

Wall shelves with souvenirs and planters are also seeing their way into restaurant interiors. Many diners are putting up certificates and customer comments on these shelves for display along with gift items, cookie jars, snacks, etc. You may even find small takeaway souvenirs in local restaurants. These are sparking interest among customers, who look forward to having something more than just dining and forgetting. Date nights, anniversary dinners and birthdays can be made special by such diners that go the extra mile to satisfy their guests.
Then again, preserved plants are also being used to decorate these souvenir shelves. Several indoor plants, like succulents, flower vines in glass jars and ferns can make these shelves come to life.

Several cafeterias and diners have started including bookshelves in their interior décor endeavours. This trend is going to be huge in the following years, as it is already a hit by now. People who love to sip their coffee with a book in hand are finding these cute libraries quite intriguing. Keeping some rare yet reader-friendly books and journals on the shelves not only adds a sophisticated touch to the interiors but also encourages people to start reading again.
You may also include blank journals for writers to pen down anything that they feel. People who love to write can put down their thoughts in those journals, which you can then put up as display items on the souvenir shelves. This is one trend that will take your cafeteria or restaurant to another level, as it will spark some creativity in your guests, who will love to visit again. Just imagine how they will feel when they see their scribbles on the walls of their favourite restaurant!

So never mind creating as much variety for your diner wall as creatively possible. You may double the effect by hanging pretty rose baskets from the ceiling or keeping artificial bouquets on the souvenir shelves.
Rose-themed restaurants will surely be a place for date nights and birthday parties, besides regular services. If you can do it right, you will find people flocking to your diner to eat, take photos and spend some quality time with their loved ones.

FAQs:
Tiles or wallpapers, what to choose for restaurant walls?

Can hanging baskets attract pests and flies?
They can, and they will. You can put artificial trees in these baskets to prevent annoying customers. But if you still want to put up those cute, real plants in hanging baskets, spraying them regularly with organic insecticidal solution will keep pests away.
