Elegant Elements: Adding a Rustic-Industrial Appeal to Your Restaurant

Updated: August 29, 2022 by Nishitha • 2 min read

Give Rustic Interior Design For Your Restaurant

Rustic-industrial design is hugely popular in the restaurant business right now. The timeless mix of warm, rustic elements with chic industrial touches creates an atmosphere that is both fascinating and inviting.

As the National Restaurant Association points out, keeping a restaurant’s interior updated is an essential part of keeping customers coming back.

Achieving that sought-after rustic – industrial design is surprisingly easy. Add any of the elements below to create this unique and attractive style.

Exposed brick

Exposed brick is found in almost every rustic-industrial restaurant. While some establishments are fortunate enough to be located in an older building where the exposed brick is a part of the original structure, not all restaurants are lucky. Adding a brick wall creates a great centrepiece. For the budget-conscious, a faux brick wall, or even a veneer, can do the same job as actual brick.

Wooden beams

Wooden beams are another design element that is standard in restaurants going for the rustic-industrial look. Again, some restaurants are lucky enough to have original beams as a part of their building. However, adding wooden beams can be done in just about any restaurant, and it always looks great, especially in places with very high ceilings.

Tables and chairs

When going for the rustic-industrial look, the furniture plays a key role. There are plenty of options when choosing tables, chairs, and bar stools for restaurants. A worn-down wooden tabletop, for example, can focus on the rustic side of the equation. Simultaneously, a metal table base can provide an excellent contrast by drawing out the more industrial elements of the overall design.

Floors

A rustic-industrial design is one of the few times a concrete floor can look warm and inviting. Concrete gives a restaurant a scruffy industrial look and offers a great contrast to the wood and other rustic elements of the interior. Also, concrete floors have the added benefit of holding up well against wear and tear, a massive concern for all restaurant owners.

Final touches

The above elements are all pretty central parts of a restaurant makeover. Still, they don’t forget to pay attention to the details because it is in the details that a rustic-industrial design will genuinely succeed or fail. Lighting, for example, is one element that can lead to some creative ideas.

Lighting fixtures reminiscent of old factories and mills appeal to the eye and create a warm atmosphere. Also, stay on the lookout for reused pieces incorporated into the restaurant, such as old machinery elements that give a genuinely rustic-industrial restaurant that authentic vintage touch. You can also install stainless steel bathroom partitions to stay true to the ‘metal’ vibe while providing a higher level of hygiene.

Combining the warm, comforting tones of rustic life with the exciting, cutting-edge accents of industrial chic is a great way of injecting new life into a restaurant. By adopting a few of the critical design elements described above, any restaurant can achieve the rustic-industrial look that both designers and, most importantly, restaurant patrons cannot get enough of.
