Winter is just around the corner, meaning your customers will be spending more of their time indoors throughout the oncoming cooler period. As we say goodbye to the warm Summer season, commercial outdoor spaces will no longer be seeing much use, making now the perfect time for bars, pubs, and restaurants across the UK to re-evaluate their commercial interior design. Updating your establishment’s interior design in time for the winter is a great way to welcome your guests back indoors, so it’s important that your indoor spaces are inviting and will leave your customers coming back for more.
In the article below, our restaurant shopfitters at Lake Contracts will discuss the interior design trends that you can expect to see for Winter 2022, helping you to transform the look of your business.
Throwback to the 70’s
A number of classic interior design trends that first rose to popularity in the 70’s have found a new lease of life in 2022, with the earthy tones and naturalistic materials that are synonymous with this era of interior design set to make a huge comeback for the winter period.
The addition of natural elements into our décor is something that we have seen more of within recent years. As we strive towards more environmentally conscious and sustainable furniture design, the biophilic elements present within classic 70’s interior design appeals to the modern day market.
Interior design popular throughout the 1970’s was seen to adopt a rich and earthy colour palette, incorporating burnt oranges and terracotta reds that will prove to be warm and inviting throughout the oncoming Winter. This earthy and inviting colour scheme will prove to be highly popular for the colder months, fostering an atmosphere that is both warm and welcoming to your customers.
Colourful and Creative Tiling
Tiling provides businesses with a great way to incorporate a pop of colour into their interior design, introducing interesting colours and patterns into your establishment that will prove highly enticing to your customers. The use of tile is a great way to completely transform the look of your commercial property, using colour and pattern to create a space that is visually interesting and will help to set your bar or restaurant apart from the competition.
Tile is a highly cost effective way to bring some colour and creativity into your upcoming refurbishment, bringing individuality to your space while fostering an atmosphere that is both inviting and appealing to your customer base.
Greener Colour Palettes
In recent years, more muted and neutral tones have been seen to make a huge comeback within popular interior design trends, and green harnesses these qualities like no other. These varying, natural shades are the perfect addition to any commercial space, helping you to foster a cosy and welcoming atmosphere within your pub, bar, or restaurant refurbishment. Whether used for smaller embellishments such as curtains and throw pillows, or as a new paint or wallpaper colour to completely update the look of your interior design, darker shades of green, such as olive and khaki, offer a great way for businesses to introduce more natural elements into their commercial establishment, making it the perfect choice this upcoming winter.
Natural Materials and Furnishings
Following on from the trend of incorporating natural elements into our commercial interior design, the use of natural materials goes hand in hand with the use of green within your interior colour palette. These natural features and botanical aesthetics have quickly become commonplace within popular design trends, so it’s unsurprising that the use of more natural materials has become intwined with how we choose to decorate indoor commercial spaces. Wooden furniture, such as tables and shelving units, offer a great way to bring these natural features into your establishment, bringing a rustic feel to your refurbishment that is ideal for the cooler season.
There are a number of ways that your business can work to completely retransform the look of its commercial space this Winter. For more information on how Lake Contracts can help with your upcoming fit out, discover our pub and bar refurbishment services today.
