  By: Shane Curran, CEO - Interact Group The Interior Fit-Out market in the UAE remains one of the Gulf’s fastest growing industries. A recent report conducted by Ventures ME shows that the interiors industry is valued as the highest within the building sector, with its annual worth being $9.2 billion in 2016. The region wide study further stated that the value of interior-based design and fit-out spend in the GCC rose from US$15.5bn in 2016 to US$17.7bn in 2017. This has been attributed to the near-constant and the ever-changing personal preferences.

 By: Mahsa Gholizadeh, Design Manager - Interact Group Before an Interior Designer begins the whole design process, there is an initial consultation with the Project Owner. It is during this stage of the process that both parties can clearly discuss the idea, implementation and outcome of the project. This is the formation stage where the concept and theme is visualized mentally by the Interior Designer. It is possible that most clients would not necessarily understand the design process, so it is important for the professional to ask the right and relevant questions that would clearly outline the needs of the client and of the project. To do this, there should be a good understanding of what the functional space seeks to achieve.

The Interior Design industry has over the years been a venture for creative minds. The process starts with the Designer or Architect’s contact with the client, understanding his needs, lifestyle and the purpose of the project. From the information given, the Designer is then able to conceptualize an idea and puts it on paper through free form representation intended to communicate directly to the client. In the past, the technique of rendering was manual, by hand through sketches, drawings and finishing with water paints, color pencils etc. Not in this era of digital revolution, where major technological advancements have changed the technique of rendering. With the use of Computer Aided Design and Drafting(CADD) software, the process now focuses on graphics, cinematics, and other special effects to present an aesthetic appeal to the client.

One of the terms often associated with interior design and architecture is ‘functional space’. This can simply be described as the consideration given to the nature of the space design and the purpose the design seeks to achieve to the benefit of the end user. A Project Owner in the Food and Beverage industry thinks along the line of a functional space before any project begins. This is because the end result of the project should justify the intention with which every business entity operates: to maximize profits. A returning customer is usually a satisfied and steady one, and valuable to every business as they cost less marketing efforts to retain.

Most often, Interior Design and Interior Decoration or decor are mistaken to mean the same thing. Though many similarities exist between the two, they cannot be thought to mean the same things as both perform different roles in the process to give a perfect finish.

The F&B industry has evolved from an era where one would think only about the menu when deciding on where to go, without considering what kind of atmosphere they’d be eating in. Believe it or not, the ambiance of a dining area can affect your mood, and ultimately the whole gastronomical experience. Operators of F&B outlets are now paying increasing attention to the entire design and finishing of their spaces, ultimately to create a cosy and welcoming atmosphere for potential clients. A comfortable dining area would have diners staying longer and likely to spend more. An impressed customer with a high level of satisfaction due to good experience equals word of mouth marketing for your company which translates into high profitability levels. Here are eight ways in which the design space unknowingly affects overall dining experience:
