In the hotel and restaurant industry, every detail counts. From the welcome in the lobby of a 4- or 5-star hotel to the cozy atmosphere of a gourmet restaurant, the customer experience is not based solely on the quality of service. Interior design and custom decoration play a fundamental role. This is where the expertise of a restaurant and hotel designer comes in, capable of translating an identity into space, creating a coherent atmosphere, and enhancing the brand image of an establishment.
At Making-Of Studio, our core business is interior architecture and hotel decoration. This specialization allows us to support hoteliers and restaurateurs in the design of unique spaces, where design, functionality, and comfort come together to serve both customers and staff.
Hotel interior design: the starting point for layout
A layout project is not limited to the arrangement of furniture. Above all, it involves thinking about a space as a whole. Hotel interior design, Making-Of Studio’s specialty, forms the basis for the layout.
Each establishment has its own history, identity, and specific clientele. Our role is to translate these into:
the choice of volumes and circulation patterns to promote fluid movement,
the selection of materials that are durable and suited to the intensive use of public spaces,
the integration of technical elements (storage, connections, safety standards) in an aesthetic approach,
the creation of lighting environments that offer multiple atmospheres depending on the time of day.
It is this overall vision that gives each hotel or restaurant a unique and memorable personality.
Restaurant decoration and layout: between immersion and comfort
Restaurant designers face a dual challenge: creating a visually appealing space while offering optimal comfort. Interior design should not be a mere decoration, but a real lever for the customer experience.
A high-end restaurant can rely on:
custom-made banquettes to create intimate areas,
discreet acoustic treatment to promote conviviality,
textures and colors that highlight the culinary universe,
lighting design that transforms the room throughout the service.
At Making-Of Studio, we consider each project as a narrative: the space must tell a story, take guests on a journey, and extend the dining experience through complete sensory immersion.
Custom-made furniture: the signature feature of hotels and restaurants
Custom-made furniture for hotels and restaurants is a key aspect of interior design. Rather than resorting to standardized solutions, hotel interior designers create unique pieces tailored to the specific needs of each establishment.
Some examples:
integrated headboards with customized storage and lighting in hotel rooms,
ergonomic reception counters that combine elegance and practicality,
custom-designed tables and seating to optimize space in a restaurant dining room,
modular lounge areas that can transform the lobby into a coworking space or relaxation area.
This artisanal and design-led approach creates coherent and sustainable spaces that are in line with the brand identity.
Hotel layout designed to serve staff and guests
A hotel or restaurant is not just a place to stay: it is a workplace for staff and a living space for guests. Hotel interior design must therefore meet two requirements.
On the one hand, it must facilitate staff movement and ergonomics: well-designed storage, optimized flow between kitchens and dining rooms, and durable materials that can withstand heavy use.
On the other hand, it must offer guests maximum comfort, a sense of well-being, and an environment that evokes emotion.
It is this subtle balance that makes the difference between a standard establishment and a memorable destination.
Design trends in hotel and restaurant layout
Contemporary hotel design and restaurant design follow several major trends:
- Authenticity and natural materials: wood, stone, ceramics, raw textiles, which convey warmth and timelessness.
- Biophilia and well-being: integration of vegetation and natural light to strengthen the connection with nature.
- Hybrid spaces: in hotels, lobbies are becoming places to meet, work, and relax.
- Adaptive lighting: lighting designs that allow the experience to be customized according to the time of day.
- Sustainability: eco-responsible design, choice of local suppliers, and energy optimization.
These trends confirm that hotel and restaurant design is no longer limited to functionality. It is becoming a vehicle for image and a tool for emotion.
