Starry nights, sea breeze and the smell of salt in the air, beaches are beautiful places to visit all year round! Now imagine dining in the midst of all of that. Breathtaking, no? A restaurant by the beachside should top the "Must visit places" list of most people as it does ours.

According to a tourism report, the tourism industry will be contributing about 312.4 billion UAE dirham to the nation’s GDP by the year 2027. That and the 1000km coastline of UAE alone hold great potential to house beachside restaurants that help generate revenue!

Experts dealing in commercial interior design Dubai can help you create a beachside restaurant that's the talk of the town and easily tops the list of foodies' "must visit places."

Interior Decor ideas for your beachside restaurant

We highlight below some ideas for the interior decor of your beachside restaurant :

Layout

The layout of your dining space should be divided into two portions. the first should be covered with a false ceiling and the second should be completely open air. Leaving it up to the diners to choose where they want to sit. Divide the open air part into two portions — the first with parasols with the dining tables and the other without them. Again, leaving the decision to the diners.

Natural ceilings

Opt for a false ceiling, that's created using wooden shades, bamboo or leave it transparent using fiber glass, and allow diners to have a view of the sky above while they dine.

Opt for parasols in case you want to ditch the whole idea of a false ceiling. Parasols are easier to manage as they can be moved around, but a windy area may not be the best place for parasols.

Colors

Within your seaside restaurant the best colors to use are earthy nudes and whites for your seating. Not only do these colors compliment the ceilings you use, but they also soothe the eyes; the true essence of nature.

Floors

The floors of the seaside restaurant will leave an impact on the diners. Avoid using marbles and tiles to create the floors. Opt instead, for wooden decks and lighter colored hardwood floors that compliment the interior and also add to the natural appeal of your restaurant's interior.

Greenery

Interior spaces can incorporate nature in their settings with the introduction of plants. Opt for plant pots that can be hung around your patio as they tend to attract the attention of your diners.

Lighting

Seaside restaurants are generally very well lit during the day, however, in the case that your location does not allow too much sunlight into your dining area, opt for warm natural yellow lights using overhanging lights. It's important not to go overboard by choosing opulent chandeliers for your beachside restaurant.

Choose sophisticated, small and barely there light fixtures that give light without taking up too much attention of the diners. Of course ! the diners are there to watch the sea and not your lamps, so it helps to keep the interior décor to a minimum.

Furnishings

A seaside restaurant does well without a splash of colors. For straight back wooden chairs for diners but include a few areas with sofas in case, the diners want to eat in a more relaxed manner.

Outdoor cane and jute furniture pieces have become increasingly popular over the course of a few years, and we are all for it! Cane ottomans and couches take your restaurant to a whole new level of beachside nature.

Take away!

It's important to remember that a beachside restaurant will gather a lot of dust, so you need to ensure that the restaurant is cleaned often to keep it squeaky clean at all times. It's always best to use furnishings that do not need servicing often.

If all of this seems too much to handle opt for experts in commercial interior design Dubai. They can help you design the city's' most stunning seaside restaurants that set you apart from your competitors and bring in customers in herds!
