How to decorate a luxury restaurant with Krion Porcelanosa Grupo

The restaurant industry is a very special sector. Standing out from the competition and offering a good experience goes far beyond having a good gastronomic offering, and that is where restaurant décor plays a fundamental role in boosting these businesses. But how can you decorate a restaurant in a way that leaves a lasting impression on diners? The key is to pay attention to the details. What will you learn in this blog post? How to decorate a restaurant Suitable materials for restaurant décor Ideas for restaurant décor and ambience The best colours for... decorating a restaurant Application of Krion® in restaurants and gastronomic spaces How do you decorate a restaurant? The decoration of a restaurant is extremely important to offer a unique experience to diners who want to enjoy themselves. Creating a comfortable, attractive environment is essential to achieving this objective. To do this, you need to take different aspects into account and, below, we give you some advice on each of them: Think about the type of restaurant and the purpose of the decoration before adding any decorative elements. Think about practical aspects. However much attention you pay to the decor, if the restaurant has uncomfortable seats, very small tables or a kitchen that is too narrow, it will not be functional and, as a result, it will not be comfortable. Plan expenditure before thinking about design. You may need to cut spending on furniture or decorative elements in order to invest in quality materials that are durable. Take lighting into account to enhance the decor of certain areas and draw attention to particular parts of the room. Lighting can also be useful for creating an atmosphere. And remember that natural light is the best source of lighting that exists. Suitable materials for decorating your restaurant When decorating a restaurant, the choice of materials is key to creating an attractive and functional atmosphere. Although materials such as quartz and granite are popular in the restaurant industry, Krion® LUX is one of the best options thanks to its advantages: Easy maintenance and cleaning: its non-porous surface prevents the proliferation of bacteria and fungi, which is crucial in an environment where hygiene is essential. High durability and resistance: Krion® LUX is resistant to impacts, scratches, and stains, making it ideal for intensive use in commercial environments. Design flexibility: thanks to its thermoforming and backlighting capabilities, Krion® LUX can be adapted to any design, allowing for the creation of innovative and unique shapes, such as curved bars, backlit tables, or seamless surfaces. Modern and elegant aesthetics: available in a wide range of colors and finishes, Krion® LUX offers a sophisticated aesthetic that can elevate the décor of any space. In addition, thanks to its unique properties, Krion® LUX is ideal for a wide variety of applications in restaurants. From the creation of furniture, such as custom tables and benches, to bar counters that can be backlit. It is also perfect for reception desks or service areas, providing a durable and aesthetically impeccable design. An example of how creativity has no limits with this material. Ideas for decorating restaurants and creating an atmosphere To create the right atmosphere in a restaurant, it can be very helpful to look for inspiration in other establishments that we find attractive and pleasant. Depending on the type of restaurant, here are some ideas that you can consider. Ideas for a small restaurant A small restaurant can be cozy and pleasant, but it is important to make good use of space and avoid wasting square meters. Ideas for decorating a small restaurant include: Customized furniture that fits perfectly into the space. Use benches next to the wall as part of the seating to use less space than would be necessary for chairs. Decorate in a minimalist style to keep spaces clear. Use well positioned mirrors to create a sensation of light and space. Choose colors that enlarge the space visually: white, cream, beige or gray, for example. Ideas for a luxury restaurant Luxury restaurants must reflect sophistication and good taste and may have a classic touch. Let's look at some ideas for decorating a luxury restaurant: Choose sophisticated materials with a sober look. Opt for low-level lighting using traditional lamps. Take care of all the details, both large and small, from the decor of the walls and ceilings to the decorative utensils on the tables. Ideas for decorating the walls of restaurants To decorate the walls of a restaurant, it is not enough to choose a color and paint each wall in it. If you want your restaurant and its decor to stand out and offer a truly unforgettable experience, the walls are very important. The different models of the Alluslate and Fitwall panels offer restaurant decorators endless options for enhancing the appearance of walls. These decorative panels can be installed without the need for construction work, making them the ideal choice when the premises are being refurbished. Krion lattices are also a very interesting option for enlivening the decoration of walls, and adding a sensation of depth thanks to their relief effect. The best colors for decorating a restaurant Color has the power to transmit feelings and emotions. Depending on how you want to make diners feel, one color may be better than another. Let's look at some examples of how you can use different colors to influence the customer experience: To ensure a peaceful experience, blue in various shades is the ideal option. Black conveys the feeling of sophistication you need in a luxury restaurant. Green is also relaxing and customers unconsciously associate it with nature, so in a restaurant with a natural setting it should be a predominant color. Ochres, browns and beige are calm and relaxing. Finally, if you're looking to awaken intense emotions in diners, colors in the red range will be perfect. Restaurant decoration may seem like a challenge, but by following these tips and using the best materials, we are sure that the result will be a success. Restaurant decoration, a unique touch in every space A restaurant is a place where we indulge our senses and enjoy the gastronomic offering, but also the smells, the lighting, the colours, the music... And, of course, the company. To offer a unique and memorable experience, balance in decoration is a fundamental factor that we must take into account. According to interior designer Iván Cotado, "in restaurant interior design we not only reflect the personality of a kitchen with materials and colours, we also do so with the room distribution, decorative elements, furniture, sensory marketing..." So, we can say that the expression "we eat with our eyes" takes on a much broader meaning when it comes to decorating a restaurant. How to decorate a restaurant Every restaurant is unique and this should be reflected in how they are decorated. But if there is one thing all catering spaces have in common, it is that they must impress the diners, not only in terms of the food, but overall, including the decoration of all areas. As well as meeting the aesthetic and gastronomic expectations, it must also be a functional space for both staff and diners to feel comfortable sitting and moving around in. El Malagueño: a bar decoration that goes beyond design Making a good first impression on visitors to a restaurant is key to attracting customers and offering them a satisfactory experience. The image offered by these initial spaces should be one of cleanliness and hygiene. But of course, without forgetting the differentiating factor: a unique aesthetic that cements the visit in our customers' memories. Selecting a material that enables us to create a bar with creative shapes, or even a bar backlit with the restaurant's branding, will have a positive impact on this experience. Krion® LUX, as well as being a highly mouldable, aesthetic and modern material, also offers unrivalled cleanliness and hygiene qualities, which is essential in the context of hospitality.

Proposing an aesthetic that appeals to their senses is key to a favourable dining experience. A good way to enhance this effect on our restaurant's guests is to opt for backlit tables, such as those at the Soon Grill restaurant in Paris. The tables take centre stage in the dining room; but without neglecting other fundamental elements of the decoration.

Now we must take care of the other, but no less important, rooms: the bathrooms. The decoration concept of a restaurant must be coherent and, to this end, we must not forget this space. The Casa Manolo project is a good example of love and care in the interior design of the bathrooms, where not only aesthetics, but also functionality and hygiene (so important in this space) have been taken into account with the installation of Krion® LUX countertops. Fabricator:Fustería Mira Photo:Lope Matias Fitwall®: the key to decorate the walls of Berberecho restaurant Fitwall® is one of the best partners for decoration in the catering sector. On the one hand, thanks to its exclusive designs that turn any space into a unique and memorable place. But also because, thanks to its fast installation, without the need for building work or licences, and its ease of handling, it is the perfect option for making quick changes to the decoration without having to close the restaurant for long periods of time. David García, designer at Grupo Ramón García, and the man in charge of the Berberecho Restaurant project, has managed to create a very special space thanks, among other things, to the use of Fitwall® for the decoration of the walls.

Krionâ„¢ Colors, a universe of colours for your solid surface

Nowadays, surfaces are not just a place to cut or work; they have become key elements in architectural and interior design. These materials must not only fulfill a practical function, but also be capable of influencing the aesthetics and experience of the space, both in terms of style and use. In this context, designers and architects are looking for surfaces that offer both versatility and visual impact. Furthermore, according to Marta Sanz, a journalist specializing in decoration, in the magazine El Mueble: “This year's obsession is not only focused on aesthetics, but also on how... materials can influence the perception of space. Silky textures, matte finishes, and natural tones are the key to creating harmonious and modern environments.” In this context, Krion® Colors is an ideal solution, offering a wide range of colors that can be adapted to projects of any size, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or other spaces, and thus integrated with other materials or decorative elements.

This feature, together with the fact that they are regenerable and solid throughout, means that solid surface remains looking like new for much longer. In addition, Krion® colors offer the possibility of multiple finishes in high gloss, satin, matte, and sandblasted, depending on the aesthetic needs of the space to be designed. Not to mention that solid surface sheets can be joined together without visible joints, giving continuity to the design of the piece.

How to clean and repair KrionÂ® LUX: steps for cleaning and repairing the solid surface

Krion® LUX is a solid surface that stands out not only for its aesthetics, but also for its high resistance and ease of maintenance. Thanks to its physical properties, such as its almost zero porosity and chemical resistance, Krion® LUX is highly resistant to stains and everyday wear and tear. But in addition to being easy to clean, this material offers a unique advantage: the ability to be repaired and regenerated. This means that small scratches or surface damage can be corrected with simple polishing techniques or specific kits, restoring the original appearance and extending the... life of the material, which is a significant advantage for projects seeking durability. What will you discover in this article? How to effectively clean and maintain Krion® LUX on a daily basis to extend its life. Specific procedures for cleaning conventional and difficult stains. Step-by-step techniques for repairing scratches and surface damage on Krion® LUX. How to clean your Krion® solid surface It's easy to keep Krion® LUX looking as good as new: thanks to its low porosity, it won't absorb any dirt, and the material can also be repaired or regenerated. The material is incredibly simple to clean and maintain - which is why it's an ideal choice for worktops in bathrooms, kitchens and retail spaces. Thanks to its sterile qualities, Krion® LUX is ideally-suited to areas healthcare where hygiene is paramount, such as hospitals, laboratories or clinics. If you want to keep your surface well maintained, free from marks or stains, remove any accidental scratches and keep if looking as good as new, here's what you need to do. Daily maintenance Krion® LUX is an easy-to-clean material. But that doesn't mean you don't need to look after it to keep it in top condition. A little bit of work on a regular basis will keep it looking pristine for longer. If you get a mark or stain on your Krion® LUX surface, clean it immediately before it has time to set in - that will make it easier and quicker to clean. All you need is a cloth, sponge or microfibre cloth to wipe the surface down daily and get rid of any easy-to-treat marks. Cleaning common stains You can get a Krion kit with special cleaning agents and tools for cleaning and maintaining your products or solid surface sheets. If you get a common household stain on your Krion® LUX solid surface, here's how to get rid of it completely: Clean the stain with water and a paper towel or cloth, and remove as much residue as possible. Moisten a cloth and apply a mild cleaning solution - avoid anything with a strong acid base. If you're using the Krion® cleaning kit, take the green cloth and apply the special K-CLEANER cleaner to the stain. Rub in a circular motion, and then dry the surface. If the stain persists, repeat with the cleaning solution or K-CREAM,using enough to cover half the stain. Moisten the green cloth and rub the surface in a circular motion without applying any pressure. When the stain has vanished, clean the whole Krion® LUX surface with K-CREAM from the cleaning kit to give it a clean, uniform finish. Remove any excess cream with the green cloth and rinse with water. Finally, it's important to dry the surface well to finish off the cleaning process. Use the grey drying cloth from the Cleaning KIT to do this. Cleaning stubborn stains It's much easier to remove stubborn stains from Krion® LUX solid surface than other materials. Just follow these steps: Apply a microparticle cleaning product to the stain (or K-CREAM where applicable) and moisten a clean white scouring pad. Rub the stain in a circular motion until it disappears. Repeat if required, applying a little pressure. Finally, remove any excess cleaning fluid with the green cloth, rinse with water, and dry the surface well using the grey drying cloth. If you can see a difference in the finish between the part of the surface you've cleaned and the rest, you can repeat the process all around the treated area. This will ensure a uniform finish, leaving no trace of the cleaning process. Regeneration capacity Krion® LUX will scratch, like any other material used for surfaces. But unlike others, scratches on Krion® LUX are easy to repair. The material can be regenerated: a simple polish will leave it looking as good as new. Krion® LUX can be regenerated if it's been scratched, restoring it to its original condition. If the scratch is superficial, you just need to polish the surface evenly to restore it. Krion supplies a regeneration set with all the tools you need to regenerate any surface damage in-situ. The way you treat your Krion® LUX will depend on the finish you've gone from: gloss surfaces will need to be regenerated by a professional. How to repair Krion solid surface? Although Krion® LUX is a resistant and durable material, daily use may cause scratches or surface damage. The great advantage of Krion® is its ability to be regenerated, which allows this damage to be repaired to restore the original finish and extend the useful life of the material, giving it a competitive advantage over other materials. Step 1: Assess the damage Before starting the repair, it is essential to identify the type and depth of the damage. Superficial scratches, wear marks, or small impacts can be treated with simple polishing. For deeper damage or cracks, repair by a professional will be necessary. Step 2: Surface preparation Carefully clean and dry the damaged area to remove dust, dirt, or chemical residues. This cleaning ensures a proper finish during the repair process. Step 3: Repairing superficial scratches For superficial damage, it is recommended to use fine-grain sandpaper (e.g., 400 to 600) to gently wear down the affected area in circular motions. Next, apply the polishing paste from the Krion regeneration kit, polishing until the surface is smooth. Repair kits for solid Krion surfaces Krion offers specialized kits that include everything you need to repair surface damage on site. These kits usually contain sandpaper of different grits, polishing pastes, and cloths. The use of these kits allows users to make quick and effective repairs, minimizing time and costs and ensuring maximum quality and durability.

Thanks to the unique properties of Krion® and the specific products and kits available, this can be done quickly and efficiently.

Interior decoration with recycled materials

Interior design is undergoing a revolution, and with it, opportunities to create spaces that are not only unique but also environmentally responsible. Today, the choice of eco-friendly and recyclable materials is gaining momentum as designers and architects seek to shape projects that not only beautify but also contribute to the well-being of the planet by economising on the use of raw materials. At Krion, we believe that sustainability does not have to limit creativity. That is why we have developed state-of-the-art materials such as Krion® Lux, Krion®... Line, Fitwall® and Undora®, which open up endless possibilities for designing different spaces. If you are looking to transform the interiors of your projects, integrating these materials with recycled content not only improves sustainability and functionality, but also elevates aesthetics and technique to exceptional levels. These materials allow you to create sophisticated, durable and inspiring spaces, perfect for commercial, hotel, office or any environment that needs an innovative and sustainable solution. Be inspired by the endless possibilities these materials can offer you. Most common eco-friendly materials in interior design Sustainable decoration is increasingly present in interior design projects. Using recycled materials with recycled content that are recyclable and have a low environmental impact is an excellent way to transform spaces while caring for the planet. Below, we explore some of the most common materials used in decoration: Minerals Minerals are widely used in interior design because of their strength, durability and natural aesthetics. Their ability to stand the test of time makes them ideal for creating robust and visually appealing surfaces. Krion® Lux is a prime example of how minerals can be combined with a low percentage of acrylic resin to create a resistant, almost non-porous and sustainable material. Krion® Lux is made from natural minerals, such as aluminium trihydrate, and high-quality resins, which give it exceptional strength and durability. This material can be repaired, leaving it looking as good as new, extending its useful life and avoiding waste and the use of resources. Recycled Content Krion® K·Life 1100, the quintessential white Krion PORCELANOSA Group product, takes this philosophy one step further by incorporating recycled material into its manufacture, significantly contributing to reducing the carbon footprint of production. This material, in addition to offering the same purity and durability as Krion® Lux, now includes a minimum of 5% recycled content, making it even more environmentally friendly. Krion® Line This new material is composed mainly of high mineral content, aluminium trihydrate (ATH), polyester resin with organic binder and natural inorganic pigments for decoration, which provide durability to the material. It is designed for installation in furniture, continuous surfaces, linear interior cladding, bathroom and kitchen countertops, both in residential and contract environments that do not require thermoforming. This not only simplifies the installation process but also optimises project resources. Krion® Line contains a minimum of 6% recycled material. Through this reprocessing and recycling of waste materials, the need for virgin materials is reduced, thus avoiding a potential waste stream. Robust, solid and homogeneous, one of the most outstanding features of Krion® Line is its ability to be cut and drilled without generating stress, as well as allowing for virtually invisible joints. This material is impact resistant, has a long service life, is resistant to abrasion and knocks, and withstands exposure to fire without spreading the flame, obtaining the B s1 d0 certificate. Krion® Line KL R101 Mures Fitwall®, for example, is a decorative panel inspired by nature, manufactured with a high concentration of minerals. The reduction of resins in its composition makes it even more sustainable, allowing the creation of realistic textures that imitate materials such as wood, cement and terracotta. In addition, Fitwall® incorporates 6% recycled PET in its composition, giving it an even smaller ecological footprint, helping to reduce plastic waste and promote the circular economy. The mineral composition of Fitwall® makes the material not only more durable but also resistant to factors such as exposure to fire. In addition, its realistic finishes and textures offer exclusivity to the environment. Undora®, meanwhile, is a cladding material composed of at least 90% mineral filler, obtained mainly from white marble waste and local ceramic scraps. Designed with sustainability in mind, it combines aesthetics, functionality and environmental respect in a single solution. Undora® It is thin—between 2 and 8 mm depending on the model—and its light weight and large format allow for easy, clean installation without any construction work, even on existing surfaces. This makes it an ideal choice for efficient renovations and projects that require agility without compromising on design. With textures derived from natural materials such as mortar, stone and terracotta, Undora® offers an aesthetic and practical alternative to traditional cladding, bringing warmth, character and environmental commitment to every space. Why decorate with recycled materials? Choosing recycled materials is a way of giving new life to resources, transforming what could have been wasted into elements that tell a story and serve a unique purpose. It is an act of reimagination, of shaping spaces where creativity and sustainability meet, creating environments that are not only visually striking but also responsible towards the world around us. By integrating recycled materials, we are not only contributing to the circular economy, but also making a difference by creating environments that reflect a more conscious vision of the future. Each piece, from a panel to a curved surface, becomes an opportunity to reinvent interior design, merging innovation, aesthetics and functionality in spaces that go beyond the conventional. Today, more than ever, designers have the power to create projects that are not only modern and sophisticated, but also a statement of values. By choosing recycled materials, we are not only reducing waste, but also shaping a future where design becomes an agent of change, contributing to the well-being of people and the planet. Decoration ideas for the different spaces in your projects Imagine a commercial space that not only surprises customers but also makes them feel part of a greener future. Every surface, every corner, is a statement of principles: a place where beauty and sustainability come together naturally. These materials not only give new life to what others consider waste, but also allow us to shape environments that inspire, that vibrate with energy and purpose, elevating the customer experience beyond the visual. Krion® LUX L510 Lime Clay Now is the time to revolutionise the way shops, restaurants and hotels are designed, harnessing the power of recycled materials to create spaces that not only look modern and sophisticated, but also speak to the future. Spaces that invite reflection, feel authentic and conscious, and are a testament to a genuine commitment to the planet. Below, we explore some of the best ways to incorporate recycled materials into different areas of your projects. Walls that define the character of a space In commercial and hotel projects, recycled walls have the power to transform environments. From decorative panels with innovative textures to cladding that replicates natural materials, these surfaces not only add character, but also durability and ease of maintenance. Imagine a hotel lobby where the walls made of recycled materials evoke a sense of modernity and warmth, or a retail store with finishes that capture the essence of the brand and convey the place's ecological commitment. Each wall can be a focal point that, in addition to functioning aesthetically, tells a story of renewal and sustainability. Countertops Countertops are a key feature in projects such as restaurants, bars and hotels, becoming the heart of the space. With recycled materials, countertops can offer functionality and elegance while reinforcing the message of sustainability. Imagine a bar counter or kitchen countertop that not only stands the test of time but also has a unique aesthetic. Recycled materials allow you to create surfaces with finishes ranging from industrial minimalism to rustic warmth, adapting to any style while maintaining a firm commitment to the environment. Hotel receptions Hotel receptions are the first point of contact with customers, and recycled materials are perfect for conveying a message of innovation and responsibility from the outset. Think of a reception desk that combines recycled materials with cutting-edge design, creating a welcoming and sophisticated atmosphere. From solid surfaces made from recycled materials to reclaimed wood, every choice can reinforce the identity of the place, offering a warm and unique atmosphere. Receptions in commercial or hotel projects must be much more than functional; they must surprise, captivate and invite the customer to a memorable experience. Panels such as Fitwall® are easy to install without the need for special equipment or construction work. Their light weight, which varies between 6 and 10 kg/m² depending on the model, allows for quick and easy installation. In addition, Fitwall® can be cut to fit any space, making it extremely versatile. Its mineral composition makes it fire-resistant, durable and easy to maintain, making it the ideal choice for commercial and hotel projects seeking an aesthetic, functional and sustainable solution with no complications during installation. Colour palette The colour palette in a commercial or hotel project has the power to transform the atmosphere of a space, and when combined with recycled materials, it becomes a powerful tool for reflecting a commitment to the environment. Neutral tones, such as soft whites, warm greys and natural beiges, not only amplify the brightness of the space, but also create a sense of calm and serenity, inviting customers to connect more deeply with the environment. However, to add warmth and a touch of elegance, you can incorporate accents in earth tones, such as terracotta or aged wood, which evoke nature and the past, while colours such as olive green or deep blue can add a sense of freshness without losing the connection to the natural world. The key is to use these tones harmoniously, creating a space that not only looks modern and sophisticated but also speaks of responsible design, in tune with a greener and more conscious future. It's time to take the next step towards more sustainable design. Discover how recycled materials can transform your projects, offering innovative, functional and eco-friendly solutions.
