Basic style elements
The Egyptian style cannot be confused with any other. Integral touches of the interior - clear geometric patterns, simplicity of lines, along with details that emphasize the monumentality of Egyptian civilization - columns, stucco molding at the junction of the ceiling and walls. In Egyptian ornaments there was also a floral pattern - reed stalks, interwoven branches of a vine, lotus and, of course, palm leaves - all this is also a characteristic Egyptian pattern.
Colors
Traditionally, the color scheme of the ancient Egyptian style is sand, beige, light yellow and ivory, as well as terracotta and gold - colors symbolizing the wealth, wealth and commitment of the Egyptians to the sun god.
Do not neglect blue, brown, green, and black is simply necessary as a contour to create patterns. Since the walls of the buildings in Ancient Egypt were stone, you can use decorative plaster, decorative stone in the decoration of the room, and even better - mosaics and frescoes with scenes of Egyptians depicted on papyrus.
Furniture, interior details
The restaurant in the Egyptian style involves the use of dark massive furniture with clear contours, symmetrical lines, sometimes carved, or wicker furniture. An important detail of the ancient Egyptian interior is also the right textile. Everything from napkins to curtains should be made of natural materials - linen, cotton or fine wool - plain or with a characteristic geometric pattern.
Characteristic statuettes will complement the design of the room: pyramids, sphinx heads, busts of ancient Egyptian pharaohs and queens. One small, but very effective trick - place tall vases in the corners of the restaurant, they will give the interior completeness.
clothing
Last advice: it will be strange if in a restaurant that takes you thousands of years back, you suddenly come across waiters in standard uniforms. So you can cross out all the efforts made to create the interior!
Dress the staff in a traditional Egyptian costume - a narrow long dress on the straps, decorating the outfit with a bib with embroidery, beads or even metal plates. Now a complete immersion in the atmosphere of Ancient Egypt is provided to all guests of your restaurant.
