In modern times, individuals choose a restaurant based largely on the experience it provides and not solely the quality of the food. For that reason, pay special attention to certain aspects of your commercial building during the design process. Whether you're remodeling an existing space or starting from scratch, follow these three design tips.

Commercial Building Tips to Nail Your Restaurant Design

1. Don't Underestimate the Value of Nice Restrooms

While their purpose is simple, restrooms play a significant role in a customer's experience. To ensure a satisfactory encounter, don't rush this aspect of the design. The space needs to reflect the rest of your restaurant's design scheme in terms of color and style of furnishings and fixtures. You should also consider your desired demographic's preferences. For instance, a high-end establishment may benefit from a seating area within the room dedicated for freshening up, while a casual restaurant may focus on top-quality mirror lighting.

2. Make Your Bar Area Tech-Friendly

You can use these desires to your advantage by making your bar area tech-friendly with multiple charging outlets that offer USB ports. For ease of use, add hooks for purses or bags as well. Work with your commercial building contractor to appropriately place under-counter fixtures based on the future position of barstools. Space them out accordingly so that each seat has easy access to hooks and outlets. 

3. Enhance Aesthetics With Lighting

Lighting is one of the most important choices during the design process. The style and placement of fixtures you choose not only set the mood in your establishment, but they also have the ability to enhance the aesthetic finish of your furnishings. For example, if your goal is to create an intimate dining setting, focus warm lighting over tables and the bar area. Or, for a sleek modern design scheme, illuminate the space with cool-colored LED bulbs throughout.
