Smart Rooms - The internet of things is spreading not only into

homes, but also into hotel rooms. From access to streaming services to a room key on your smartphone,
the essential hotel amenities in a guestroom are becoming increasingly digital. Guests want concierge
services or temperature controls at the push of a button (or tap of a finger), and voice-activated controls
are expanding beyond simply asking Alexa to play your favorite song.

Solar power - Hotels can utilize

solar power either by generating power from their own solar panels or by purchasing solar power from
their electricity provider. The Hampton Inn Bakersfield used solar to take advantage of a 30% federal tax
credit while also lowering its energy bills by 35-45%.

Coliving - Solo travelers or remote workers who stay in one

place for a while might opt for a coliving space, such as the Roam brand, which is a community designed
specifically for its inhabitants to share living spaces, and sometimes workspaces, with a common attitude
or goal.
 AirBnB - The popular booking site started as a way to rent a room in
someone else’s home for a night, but it now includes entire apartments, luxurious homes, hotel rooms,
treehouses, castles, and more. New additions to the site include tours and activities, adventure travel,
and hotel inventory after the company’s acquisition of HotelTonight.

Get up close and personal with marine life and coral reefs at
an underwater hotel like the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, which also has an underwater restaurant.

The Eco-friendly style is one of the top interior design styles this year, and designers are sure it will last
for a long, at least for the next few seasons. First of all, sustainable materials and design solutions are
great for a healthy ambiance in your establishment. Secondly, visitors are very attracted today by places
that promote environmental protection. It is a perfect opportunity to grow your business, redefine your
restaurant, bar, or cafe design concept, and make a positive impact on nature.

Replace the usual sources of material for your furnishing and decor with sustainable ones, such as wood,
rattan, wicker, sisal, vegan leather, and organic fabrics. Don’t forget to add a few individual touches with
nature-inspired patterns and colors on your decor; consider live greeneries or green walls so your visitors
can taste nature directly at your place.
Retro Vibe
To furnish your restaurant or bar with furniture reminiscent of the fifties, you can declare the concept as
something other than retro. Today, such an environment is equally in demand in modern and eclectic
and even in the eco-interiors of public food service establishments. Today the following furniture options
are offered for them:

 laconic chairs made of wood or plastic on a metal base;

 armchairs and sofas with futuristic shapes;

 furniture with slightly worn velvet upholstery;

 tables with rounded corners made of plastic or wood;

 furnishings in soft, calm colors.

Equally popular is the very intriguing trend of mixing new and old furniture: designers see nothing wrong
with combining custom-made chairs and tables with authentic models found somewhere at flea markets
or garage sales. This approach allows you to create a design that has its own unique story.

Ceiling as a Piece of Art For those who are far from the restaurant industry, it may seem that ceiling
decoration is, in principle, not a very important part of the design, but this is far from the case. With a
careless attitude to this plane, there is a risk of creating an uncomfortable perception of the space for
guests, as well as leaving a feeling of incompleteness, because of which the interior of a bar or restaurant
will seem ill-conceived and “quick-and-dirty”. Designers have proposed two approaches for the ceiling in
2023. The first one is the maximum open ceiling space, making the interior airier and more voluminous
and visually increasing the establishment area. There is no special decor for such a solution. The second
option is to present overhead space as one of the restaurant’s key design elements as a whole. A vivid
example of a successful design is the JIS restaurant in the Japanese city of Sapporo, where the ceiling is
stylized as an overcast cloudy sky, the Shizuku cafe in Portland, where light waves of textiles create an
airy mood, and the Kyiv restaurant BAO, offering to admire the play of colored mother-of-pearl
overhead.

Table for One, Please

The new design season is about self-care, and local establishments for food serving would significantly
enhance their design if they would go hand in hand with the latest trends. Raising well-being awareness,
professionals tend to promote the ongoing trend of dining alone, having a cup of coffee alone, or
enjoying your favorite meal alone. In this sense, the cafes particularly are encouraged to provide one-
person tables for those who would like not to be disturbed. It all consists of the appropriate furniture
layout. When visitors see their favorite dining place cares about their needs, they tend to return back
more often than they might have probably dreamt of.

Food Hall

The combination of various food serving providers in the same place, where you can experience a bit of
each cuisine and culture, has become more of a cultural hall concept, and designers are very proud to
claim their prominent relevance in the new design season. A place where you can taste food and culture
all at once is a great design choice, particularly now when intercultural connection is a key aspect in the
contemporary world. Besides, it works perfectly for promoting local food serving providers and bringing
communities together.

3. What is color scheme? What are the different color scheme and their description? (20 points)

A Color Scheme for Each Concept

The binding of color design to the institution’s peculiarities is a tendency that was intuitively based on
stereotypes of perception of a particular shade. It cannot be called entirely new, but in 2023, it acquires
special significance and therefore is included in the list of the most relevant trends.

Depending on the level and focus of a restaurant or cafe, assigning a color code allows you to create an
attractive atmosphere for customers and greatly facilitates the search for an establishment with a
specific status and concept. So, designers suggest focusing on the following solutions:

 bright, juicy colors like emerald, carmine, or purple in combination with natural wood textures –
for ethnic establishments;

 earthy, dark red, brown – for steak houses and bars;

 natural greens, woody browns, and sunny yellows – for vegetarian cafes;

 natural shades of stone, wood, and fog – for Japanese restaurants;

 black, steel, chrome, and gold – for elite establishments;

 light pastel palette – for children’s and family cafes.
