Great food but a challenging setting

was holding back the success of this local restaurant. Only a few tables were desirable. The bar area was 40% of the seating but few wanted to sit there. If you did, you were isolated from the cozy part behind tall oak bureaus.
The lighting was poor. Lighted paddle fans for the rooms and wall sconces lit the white walls which had been painted with dark green murals.

The Restaurant Interior Design Plan:

The restaurant remodel plan is to open up the atmosphere with low curving walls and removing the paddle fans.

Create romantic lighting in the bar area and contrasting with brighter lighting in the lower galley area. Provide a flexible lighting system to encourage art on the walls.

Add eye catching elements in several locations within the restaurant. Create different but harmonious color palettes for each of the three dining sections in this remodel.

The new entrance features a low, curving stone wall. After the restaurant remodel, while waiting to be seated, track lighting draws your eye to the artwork and invites you explore deeper in the space.

The lower galley looks outside in the summer. For the winter, white birch branches were bunched outdoors and covered with small white lights.

Inside, the restaurant interior design plan called for halogen floods with mesh skirts. They have been positioned to light the walkways and indirectly fill the narrow dining room with the proper level of light.

The old metal stair rail was replaced with antique trackwheels and a large gear. The fresh paint colors selected by the interior design team add character and warmth without dominating. This allows a wide variety of art to be displayed .

Color defines and connects different areas. Red and cream table cloths and bar stools provide a warm flow throughout the restaurant.
The hanging lights are inexpensive low voltage pendants with handpainted shades, pinned together with a clay "Olive".
