Interior Design for Bars and Restaurants

Creating spaces that welcome, work, and last.

Opening a bar or a restaurant often starts with a dream.
The passion for food, the desire to create a place where people feel good, the ambition to offer something new.
But between the dream and the opening, there’s a crucial step: designing the space.

That’s where we come in.

At Vanda Designers, we help entrepreneurs and brands across Italy transform ideas into places.
Not just beautiful interiors—but spaces that speak, work, and stand out.

What does a bar designer do?

A bar designer is more than someone who chooses the right chairs or lights.
We study the flow of people, the rhythm of service, the visibility of your products, the comfort of the client.
We design with intention—from the layout of the counter to the atmosphere of the dining room, from lighting to acoustics, from mood to identity.

Because a well-designed space doesn’t just look good:
it works better. It tells your story. And it helps your business grow.

Design is not decoration

Interior design for restaurants and cafés is not about trends or furniture.
It’s about giving shape to your vision in a way that is functional, authentic, and memorable.
A place where your team feels at ease and your customers want to come back.
A place that reflects your brand, your values, and the experience you want to offer.

Who we work with

We collaborate with:

• Entrepreneurs opening a new bar, bistro, or restaurant

• Clients looking to renovate or relaunch an existing venue

• Franchises or restaurant chains in need of a scalable concept

• Architects, contractors, real estate developers looking for a creative partner in the food retail space

We are based in Italy and work on projects throughout the country, from large urban venues to hidden gems in small towns.

Why not go DIY?

We’ve seen it happen many times: someone falls in love with a Pinterest image or a trendy material, only to realize—too late—that the space doesn’t work.
Designing a bar or restaurant requires vision, yes. But also method, expertise, and awareness.

That’s what we bring: a structured creative process that blends strategy and emotion, functionality and aesthetics.

Have an idea? Let’s shape it together.

If you’re thinking of opening or redesigning a venue, let’s talk.
We’ll help you build a space that not only looks good, but feels right—for you, for your team, for your guests.
