So you've decided to open a restaurant. Good cuisine and a professional team are, of course, important components, but first of all, think over the concept of the institution, its thematic focus. You will attract the flow of first visitors with an unusual flavor, and by no means delicious food. If you are a fan of the style of Ancient Egypt, here are some tips on how to recreate this interior in a restaurant.
Basic style elements
The Egyptian style cannot be confused with any other. The integral touches of the interior are clear geometric patterns, simplicity of lines, at the same time details that emphasize the monumentality of the Egyptian civilization - columns, stucco molding at the junction of the ceiling and walls. In Egyptian ornaments, there was also a plant pattern - reed stems, intertwined branches of a vine, lotus and, of course, palm leaves - all this is also a characteristic Egyptian pattern.
Colors
Traditionally, the color scheme of the ancient Egyptian style is sand, beige, light yellow and ivory, as well as terracotta and gold - colors symbolizing prosperity, wealth and devotion of the Egyptians to the sun god.
Do not neglect blue, brown, green, and black is simply necessary as a contour for creating drawings. Since the walls of structures in Ancient Egypt were stone, you can use decorative plaster, decorative stone, and even better - mosaics and frescoes with scenes of the life of Egyptians depicted on papyri in the decoration of the room.
Furniture, interior details
The Egyptian-style restaurant involves the use of dark massive furniture with clear contours, symmetrical lines, sometimes carvings, or wicker furniture. Correct textiles are also an important detail of the ancient Egyptian interior. Everything from napkins to curtains should be made of natural materials - linen, cotton or fine wool - plain or with a characteristic geometric pattern.
The design of the room will be complemented by characteristic figurines: pyramids, sphinx heads, busts of ancient Egyptian pharaohs and queens. One small, but very effective trick is to place tall vases in the corners of the restaurant, they will add completeness to the interior.
clothing
One last tip: it will be strange if, in a restaurant that completely transports you back thousands of years, you suddenly bump into waiters in standard uniforms. So you can cross out all the efforts made to create the interior!
Dress the staff in a traditional Egyptian costume - a tight long dress with straps, adorned with a bib with embroidery, beads or even metal plates. Now full immersion in the atmosphere of Ancient Egypt is provided to all guests of your restaurant.
