Ideas from Restaurant and Bar Design Awards

I was checking out the entries for the UK and International Restaurant & Bar Design Awards and found so many good designs that could be translated for the home.
Tufted anything and that shade of emerald green? Definitely.
More tufting and a great color palette:

I don’t think I’d hang doors on my ceiling but I do like the idea of texture on the ceiling. Nice blue banquettes too:

Love this brass detail and window:

Cozy, Tolix, very country chic:

Scandinavian furniture. Gets me every time:

What is it about greenhouses that are so inviting:

Been loving these lights forever and I love that they are hanging from a skylight. And we can’t overlook the stools:

Two words: art wall:

You know I love a good window seat (even a faux one like this one) and I’m loving the patterns and textures here:

You can see more entries (and ideas) here.
P.S. The winner of the Forever Paris book giveaway is…..

I really think I need some Tolix chairs around my dinig table, I love that look!
You can never go wrong with Tolix!
That Greenhouse design is beyond great!
Also, now that I’ve been seeing so much Tolix especially around the LA restaurant scene. I’ve been persuaded not to use them at home. Instead I scored some cool chairs from CB2 in oat grey: http://reviews.cb2.com/7259/4195/pony-oat-grey-chair-reviews/reviews.htm
