What makes a real sexy restaurant: light, color, and a playlist killer

A sexy restaurant is one of the things you can't put your finger, but you know it when you see it. There is a specific combination of factors – good lights, a chic chic, plush seats – that all adds to an area that prompts sex appeal. But this attitude is not a result of some bad Jeis Sai Quoi, this is the result of intentional restaurant owners with a new (or old!) Flame.

There is a killed considerations that a restaurant should do if you want to develop the date of date at night. The dining room is not very full or enthusiastic, but should notify the correct amount of glamor to feel sophisticated without fear. The space itself – the service, the sitting, even the color of the painting walls – has a role in making it clearly welcoming the seekers in a place they loved.

In Los Angeles, Restarateur Thomas Fuks, the mind on the back of the popular date of the night as puzzle and bossfamiliar with what is necessary to make a restaurant feel sexy. In the French restaurant amour, where love is literal in the name, the light is the most important element of making a space feeling in a space. “If you have the right light, you can do any work in space,” says fuks. “I saw a lot of beautiful restaurants with a terrible light. That completely ruined the experience. It doesn't matter how awesome the restaurant, if it has a bad white landing on the table, I just want to leave . ”

Finding the right light has, in some parts, a challenge to the restaurants in Fokaks. Hot glow in an incandescent bulb is harder to find compliance the passage of a law 2024 California withholding the sale of bulbsin favor of more friendly environmental LEDs. He designed to have all loved light-ups that can be controlled by phone apps, but say he wants to keep this “old school.” It means Gold Gold candles with candles put each table, and hunting hot lightbulbes that can be manual at night.

For Xavier Donnelly, the Creative Director of Hotels in Ash, the Hotelier behind Simbery Cocktail Lounge Bloom's Inside the Ulyssses Hotel in Baltimore, the light is equally important. From his sight, the light of a space has to highlight unique architecture, for sure, but there is a more important purpose. “It should be about making sure people are good and looking hot,” says Donnelly. “To achieve that, the light should be rotten, soft, warm, and at eye level. The loud overhead lighting prevents unattractive shadows, and the cooler lights allowed everything.”

Physical elements of space – such as paint, furniture, and art on walls – need to play well with the light in a romantic vibe. Fokers raise saturated, rich color for his restaurants – Burgundy, Lush Green, and gold. “I'm a spiritual person, and green is true color of the chakra heart, so we want to be prominent,” he said. “We can red the red amour, of course, but it's over and again, and people don't know, but the green is true color of love.” Here, the fuks refers to The ancient belief that the heart represents the physical by the color of greenmeans there are some kind of metaphysical romantic draw in a lush green meal for the night.

on Justine'sA decade of French Bistro in Austin, owners Justine Gilcrease and Pierre Pelegrin choose to go with classic bistro tables on the part because they are in the natural intimacy. “You want to have a little chaos and spontaneity and closeness,” Gilcrease said. “You want tables a little and together, just make a place to feel sex.” The walls, covered by chic art, and living plants drawing from the ceiling, add to that feeling of intimacy. Some may call Justine a little broken, but Gilcease looks that literal proximity as having an important role in making space felt in space.

Fuks, Gilcrease, and Donnelly also agree that the playlist at a restaurant also helps with a restaurant exude in a sensual air. Donnelly wants to keep it simple, with a child of famous piano thrown at the corner playing classics. Gilcrease's restaurant takes a more Lo-Fi method, with a large collection of record running on music standards from half-saving Wine in Justine's. Fuks prefer to mix songs in French love with many withdrawal 70s disco, to ensure that the atmosphere is not feeling heavy or full. “We're different struggling with music before,” said fuks. “It's a time to find out how music is to say so much. You need to mix upbeat songs and the romantic songs so you can attract everything.”

While restaurants and designers deal with the correct colors and lights and playlists, they also have to be careful to avoid pitfalls what a place is clear A sex. Fuks hates shrinking light, and if he planned his own evenings, Gilcease turns away from any place feeling more generic or excess corporations. “You can feel no personality,” he said. “You can only say if a concept feels very planned-in-advance or a person just hired to develop a specific vibe. Nothing is like turn-off.”

Above all, it seems to make a sexy restaurant, itself, a close pursuit. Gilcrease and Pelegrin are romantic partners, and their story is tied closely with Justine's fabric. The same goes for the fuks and his wife Abbie, who spends two years choosing each other detail in Amur. “Do you know or you don't have it, you are kind of absorbing our style and encouragement through osmosis if you sit in our restaurant,” Gilcrease said. “Things found in sexy people about this restaurant is more than physical properties. These are these aspects of what we are important and what we love more than our values in the design. “
