Tips of the Trade

1. Always Have the Correct Dimensions of the Room When you have a complete plan of the space you want you can organise schedules for every phase of your design, that way avoiding conflicts of installation and misplacements.

2. A Correctly Spaced Plan is Always a Good Start A floor plan allows you to be sure that the spaces are okay for your needs. You'll know where to position the bars, dance floors, lounge areas, WCs, eating areas, and standing spaces. This way it will be space planned correctly and you will know precisely that the space will flow. This will allow you to be able to see the divisions in harmony with focal points, and it works in tune with the FFF&E.

3. Selection of Ambience is an Important Decision What is required for a successful establishment, and where it fits into the scale of things, is definitely a must know before everything starts. A good design always has a good distribution of lighting included in many strategic places. Also sound distribution to the right areas and levels are a priority.

4. Colours are a Delicate Issue Specifying a colour or pattern is not always the right start. Colours tend to reflect your mood, up or down depending on the individual, and a combination of different colours can be tricky. AIDI use layers, and tactile materials to lift your spirits, forming talking points for the customers.

5. Styles and 'Looks' Date Quickly Styles are not only what is in the ambience, it is the structure as well, and a very important part of the project in making sure that you achieve a design that is not going to be out of fashion in 6 months. AIDI pride ourselves in not following the crowd and create visually stunning interiors that are timeless but still in vogue.
