Inspirational Interiors

Restaurant interiors are more inspiring than ever and we caught up with Roisin Lafferty from Dublin design company, Kingston Lafferty Design to discuss how best to introduce these designs into our homes.

When we head out to eat, we are impressed with not just the food being served, but the décor surrounding us within the restaurant. Everything from the lighting, surface textures and furniture adds to the overall experience and we are now returning from a night out not trying to recreate the food we ate, but source the dish it was served in!

Recently, Roisin Lafferty and her team at Kingston Lafferty Design were thrilled to learn that their Tootoomoo Restaurant Design was shortlisted in the internationally recognised Restaurant & Bar Design Awards 2016.

The restaurant based in London’s Crouch End is a Pan Asian style fast food and bar space with design features drawing on traditional Asian design balanced with a cool, modern edge.

‘Many of the ideas that people love within Tootoomoo can be translated into today’s homes,’ comments Roisin. ‘For me it is all about making a space as interesting as possible, whether commercial or residential. While you can take more risks with commercial designs, certain aspects can work really well within our own homes.
