Restaurants are some of the most common communal spaces that are being designed to give a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere. The urban influences of Sydney are being matched by fusion restaurants, mixing contemporary flavors from different cuisines. Interior designers usually try to align the physical space with the restaurant’s fusion vibe, mixing more natural tones with modern elements.
A timeless go-to combination of elements would be Bricks, Wood, and Marble Flooring in Sydney restaurants. Bricks are made of Silica, Alumina, Lime, Iron Oxide and Magnesia, which bring to the structure a cold, solid finish with a consistent pattern.
This usually gets combined with wood in the interior design. Wood gives a natural and softer touch to the ambiance versus bricks. The simple brown glow to a well-polished wood gives a luxurious finish which perfectly complements bricks. Some elements used inside a restaurant which could be mainly made of wood are tables and chairs, shelves for wine bottles, utensils, and glasses. In some restaurants which use wooden furniture in the “back kitchen”, wood elements would not be usually shown as part of the design. The good thing about polished wood is that it blends in the “fusion” taste as it need not be hidden from sight. It can be part of the overall interiors and can blend well with bricks on the wall.
Now, for the flooring. This is where wood’s flexibility is tested and proven even further. Using wood for flooring can be combined with marble flooring. Marble, considered to be a more modern and luxurious counterpart of brick, also wors perfectly with wood, giving the strong and well-defined divisions to floor areas within the restaurant. Even the placement of the wood furniture against the marble flooring gives a beautiful contrast. Adding warm lighting can further enhance the tint of the wood against the usually pale patterns of marble.
Marble flooring can be a subtle addition to a dominantly brick-and-wood restaurant design. Adding the light shades of marble can bring out the fusion feel for contemporary restaurants. To learn about the best marble flooring for your restaurant, get in touch with Terrazzo Australian Marble today.
