Art for Restaurants

Interior design is a crucial element of a restaurant’s feel. When your customers walk through the front door, they soak in the atmosphere and sense the ambience and from this, they form a crucial first impression that sets the tone and that is integral in determining the memories they take from their dining experience. As the saying goes, you only get one opportunity to make a first impression once and it is vital that you get this right.

Whether you are looking to create a fun, lively experience or a relaxing vibe, artwork can contribute. The right pieces, strategically placed, can transform a bland, featureless building into a reflection of your attitude and personality. In turn, this enhances the relationship between you and your customers without any words actually being exchanged. Art, especially eye-catching artwork, is always going to be noticed. It has a way of stimulating the senses, making it irresistible to look at.

If you are struggling to make your vision a reality or to express the values you feel represent you, then bespoke restaurant art can be part of the solution. Whenever planning interior design for a restaurant, Art is an important element to consider, diners have no choice but to engage with it, contributing to that lasting impression we mentioned above. The benefits from commissioning Toni Thornton to produce art for a restaurant space are numerous, and not only for your customers.

• It has been proven that artwork helps boost employee mood, energy and creativity.
• Art breaks up the monotony of regular, everyday life, expressing emotions that are new and exciting.

• Working in an enriched environment is just one of the many passive benefits that art for restaurants creates.
• Art can also be used in restaurants to put customers at ease.

• Even if just for a few minutes, appreciating art can transport you to a place away from the tribulations of modern life to a mental state of curiosity and contemplation.

Art’s ability to evoke such peaceful energy in your customers’ minds, simply by existing nearby, is one of its greatest attributes. There can be a misconception that art is too high brow a pursuit for most types of restaurant to take advantage of, but this simply couldn’t be further from the truth. It fits seamlessly into any dining space, especially when commissioned by Toni Thornton Art.

Good artwork can complement your room and create the desired atmosphere. For example, a modern restaurant may benefit from modern art which shows elegance and forward-thinking.
