When you think of luxurious and distinguished interior design, commercial establishments where you eat lunch are not usually the first thing that comes to mind. However, there are restaurants that are classified as the most beautiful in the world that deserve special attention not only in terms of the dishes they offer, but also with regard to their layout and exclusive decoration.

So here are a dozen ideas on the original restaurant decoration that you can quietly sting to implement in your own home!

10 supreme decoration ideas to steal from chic restaurants
Sponsored linksUntil recently, for subjective reasons, restaurant decoration could rarely translate successfully into the layout of our homes . However, the atmosphere of contemporary restaurants is becoming ever more convivial, even intimate, designers are implementing ever smarter solutions and some owners are investing staggering amounts of money to furnish and adorn their spaces according to the latest trends. So, it seems that they have a little something to offer us even if it is only inspiration!
Sponsored LinksDo you know which materials are trending not to skip while decorating in the current year? Well, you only have to take a look at the interiors of some of the most attractive restaurants to realize that wood remains the most preferred material! Here's how to make it work...
Combine warm natural wood and white marble for an attractive and noble contrast
The innate coldness of concrete is just as effective in highlighting the cozy texture of wood
This is the absolutely chic and shocking decorative trend that should not be lost on your radar: velvet as upholstery! Yes, the armchairs, chairs and sofas upholstered in this plush fabric are state-of-the-art, although they have made their way to homes and classy restaurants and therefore to our hearts.
In the example above, we married gold metal chairs upholstered in marsala-colored velvet with sober and very elegant Herbie floor lamps to achieve a fantastic luxury bistro atmosphere with a touch of art deco style. Of course, if you are aiming for a different style, there are plenty of other restaurant decoration ideas not to be missed…
If, for example, you want to put together an industrial-style living room, there's nothing like the Chesterfield sofa in padded leather! The proof is the Devocion café in New York that you can admire above which also opted for the polished concrete floor, the exposed brick walls and the simply emblematic Thonet bistro chairs.
Furnishings matter, but we must admit that even the most beautiful sofas and armchairs are useless if the light around them is not appropriate. Speaking of restaurant decor in the context of lighting, there are two key points to consider in order to achieve your own unique design. First, it's the functionality that counts...
Logically, your dining room and your relaxation area will not have the same requirements in terms of brightness, which means that you must first of all assess your needs. For places that need more light, choose lamps hanging just above or adjustable fixtures. For the rest, recessed ribbons or an auxiliary floor lamp are good ambient lighting devices.
Second, you want your light fixture to have some decorative value on its own, depending on the style you're aiming for. If the rest of your decor is sober, allow yourself a bold designer pendant lamp that will become the centerpiece of your overall design.
An unavoidable trend that is certainly on the rise in recent times is that of decorating with green plants in large quantities. At home, they can be put everywhere, because there are all kinds of them, even species that thrive in the damp bathroom or in the dark hallway. And it is absolutely beautiful!
Decorating the house with plant species is fascinating, but you have to know how to take care of them, right? So prefer beautiful, easy-care plants that require conditions that you can provide. Bonus points if they are depolluting or if you can suspend them from the ceiling to create a totally eye-catching element like the top restaurants!
Finally, the artwork on the walls is sophisticated and never goes out of style
