TESTIMONIALS
“It’s cool and light. Not too loud. Comfortable color (especially if you want people who come into your office to feel “chill”... shoutout to raging parents or intimidated students).”
“I will definitely recommend you to my friends. I’m also excited to see their reactions when they see the dining room.”
Design: The Science of Attraction
It is true that many recommended restaurants and shops are determined through the quality of their products. But here are some questions: Why do we go there? Is it simply to buy their products and test them out? Or is it in the experiences we have when we take our first step into their premises?
Design has a beneficial factor on the reputation of these businesses. For example, fast food restaurants have very vibrant colors using red and yellow. These colors trigger a part in our brain which entice us to eat. That is precisely why Jollibee, McDonalds, BonChon and others use these colors.
Many stores use display windows to showcase their products. A well-designed window display should encourage passers-by to stop and take a look. That is your hook to enable them to go inside.
Yet another factor is the layout of these shops. It has to be well organized so that people can find what they want and easily determine if it is available or not. It should be kept tidy and the space should be used wisely to maximize products on display. Tables and display racks need to have sufficient space for everyone to go walk around and explore. Some restaurants have an open display of their kitchen enticing the passersby to look and see a visual feast. Scent is a powerful tool as well. mouths would water before we even get served. That is one of the things people want to enjoy, the wait for something you know will be wonderful.
Stores should also be able to stand out. You have to get their attention and make them see what makes you different and how your products or meals are superior to others. That is where proper and great design comes in. Design is not only to make things pretty after all. More importantly, it is a science. This is what interior designers in particular are trained to do—to add value to your business and facilitate in increasing your sales.

BUSINESS RELOADED: USING INTERIORS TO LEVEL UP
Step up your game! Begin that long overdue renovation!
Are you feeling a little uneasy about your restaurant/café? Do you feel the need to change things a little bit but don’t know where to begin? The norm is to renovate every 3 to 5 years. Let us help you get started with vamping up your food and drink business in the simplest of ways!
The first thing that people notice is always the facade. The entrance says so much about what’s inside. Add a few plants to make your entrance more inviting.
Another tip is to liven up your walls by repainting them. This is the cheapest and easiest way to go. You can also add framed art or an art mural for a little accent as well.
Additionally, your floor also adds up to the overall appearance of your store. If you have the budget, do an overall renovation and use bold patterns or colors of tiles. If not, check the existing floor and ensure that there are no loose tiles that your customers may trip on. If you don't want to do a full renovation, simply adding a border makes quite a change to the look.
If you operate a restaurant that serve good liquor, creatively boasting a few of your best drinks on your walls may be good advertising and branding; because servers offering the wine of the day to customers is sometimes not enough.
Consider refinishing your furniture. Maintenance is key so that they don’t wobble. Stable furniture adds to the perfect customer experience.
And lastly, something that might be neglected – make sure that your restrooms are always clean and pleasant. Personally, aside from the food and the service, it’s the restroom that I draw my attention to. After all, maintenance of the restroom tells me a lot about how customer-focused a restaurant is. Unfortunately, this isn't common knowledge and there are some that need to improve in that department.
