Restaurant decoration trends that are booming in 2025

When we talk about design in hospitality, decoration is not just about aesthetics. It's a strategic tool to attract customers, increase dwell time, and improve the average spend. A well-designed space communicates quality, intention, and experience.

Those who work in hospitality know that customers no longer just want “a good meal”; they want a memorable experience. From the moment they walk in to the moment they post a photo on social media, every element of the space should tell a story.

One of the strongest trends this year is biophilic design – bringing nature indoors. Green walls, hanging plants, and natural materials like stone, wood and fibres create a relaxing, healthy atmosphere.

This connection with nature not only looks good – it enhances wellbeing, stimulates appetite and reduces stress. Such an environment encourages conversation and enjoyment… making people want to return.

A major success for many restaurants has been replacing cold textures with more organic finishes. Visually, the impact is immediate; and on an emotional level, it invites guests to come back.

In modern sensory design, sight isn’t everything. Smell, temperature, sound and lighting all influence how customers perceive the experience.

One of the most common mistakes is using cold, direct lighting – more suited to an operating theatre than a restaurant. Choosing warm, indirect lighting and creating areas with varying light intensities helps to craft either intimate or lively settings.

Subtle citrus scents also contribute to a greater sense of wellbeing, encouraging guests to stay longer – and even mention it in reviews.

If your venue serves fresh juice, like those made with a professional Zummo juicer, the smell of freshly squeezed oranges can become a key part of your sensory strategy. It doesn’t just smell good – it sells.

Today, if a space isn’t photographed, it loses commercial potential. Social media isn’t just a marketing tool – it’s the new shop window. Creating camera-friendly corners with neon signs, murals, textures or unique features is a direct investment in visibility.

For example, placing a neon sign by a high table and turning it into a strategic spot multiplies photo opportunities and online exposure. And when you include everyday equipment like the stylish Viva juicer from Zummo in a visible location, it helps create that attractive space.

The key: functional products that also look great. A high-end Zummo juicer should not be hidden – make it part of the show!

Beyond aesthetics, every design decision should answer one question: does this improve my profitability?

The data is clear: a pleasant, coherent space aligned with your food concept increases dwell time. What does that mean? More coffees, more desserts, more juices.

A Zummo juicer, beyond its functionality, can be integrated into your design. Its sleek lines, professional feel and the visual appeal of live juice preparation align perfectly with the trend of “visible show”.

Placing it in a central island, open bar or visible area not only optimises workflow – it also communicates freshness, health and transparency. And it generates visual content naturally, without any extra investment.

The result of functional, well-thought-out aesthetics is clearly reflected in:

• More reviews
• More user-generated content
• Longer stays
• More impulsive juice purchases
• More reservations

A professional Zummo juicer is not just a machine. It’s a statement: here, the product is cared for, the customer is valued, and the full experience is a priority.

They’re also visually flawless, compact, quiet and eye-catching. So why hide them? Make them the star.

If you’re redesigning your space or starting a new project, Zummo can be your best ally to enhance your concept and turn functionality into visual marketing.
