Vintage bar, restaurant interior design

The answer to the question «Why do we choose a retro interior for bars and restaurants?» begins with the answer to the question "Why do people generally go to a restaurant or a bar?". To enjoy excellent food, learn unusual combinations of drinks, meet old friends, meet new people, have fun and dance.

But there is another reason why we go out. The uniformity of the environment can bore even the most all-round man, and then he is looking for fresh impressions in the new scenery. In a cozy restaurant with subdued lighting and retro interior design or a sparkling modern loft-style bar you can immerse yourself in a fashionable atmosphere and enjoy a carefully organized space, which makes you choose this place again and again.

Architects and interior designers subtly feel the trends in society and follow them, so the latest world trends are in full accordance with the mood and desires of people.

Vintage bar, restaurant interior design trends

We’d like to talk about the latest, most relevant trends in interior design for bars and restaurants.

Simplicity. A dinner or cocktails outside the house have already become a routine phenomenon, and this is reflected in the interior. Clear lines, spacious rooms, brick walls without plaster, simple but high-quality furniture, copper items (for example, loft lighting or restaurant signs) - all this implies creating a sense of calm and security for the visitor.

Natural materials. The use of natural materials in the interior design, such as wood, stone and metal, continues to spread steadily. Inspired by nature itself, masters use only high-quality materials, combining them smoothly and delightfully: leather sofas and tables with copper details, wooden doors with brass handles, wooden furniture with metal fittings.

The color palette mainly concentrates on the following palettes: Monochrome (graphic gray and white), Earth (terracotta, olive green, copper, ocher, bronze), Constructive (saturated eclectic violet, lime, lemon), as well as their shades in combination with complex patterns. Such colors soothe and warm, but look much fresher than neutral and pastel.

Retro style with a touch of Art Nouveau. The background for the interior of a modern bar is the classic style. The secret is to combine the classics with fashionable details in an expert way, seasoning it all with the chic of modernist era. Thus, a vintage bar design is created, which ensures that the bar does not become outdated in the modern world of ever-changing fashion.

A new look at metal. Polished metal and stainless steel are a thing of the past. Shades of copper, dark steel, bronze - metal, which adds a touch of warmth and sophistication to any interior - are used to impart elegance and style to the space. Metal is used everywhere: in copper and brass lighting, wiring, dishes, etc.

All this promises the creation of the most impressive and exciting interior designs. In addition, not only interior accessories, but also retro appliances (for example, vintage coffee machines or televisions) are decorated with metal in a retro-futuristic style. For adherents of more restrained techniques, brass elements that will instantly make space more elegant would be a choice.

Custom-made interior items will be more relevant than ever, as well as accents from the 50's and 60's of the last century with their industrial design, metal accessories, gold and brass items.

A visitor would prefer a get away from reality, so restaurants and bars often become a place for design experiments. Why do people most often want to escape to the atmosphere of retro design? Modern life implies constant tension, uncontrollable stress, ever-increasing speed. People dream of being in that retro era, when the time flowed more slowly, things were of high quality and each of them had its own character.
