Butterhills Family Restaurant

Interior Design

The very first project for this location is to design the left dining area that currently looks like this:

The owner thinks I can design this wall here in an interesting way before a big renovation which happens a year from now.

So I took some notes from our conversation.

Basically the left wall needs to look beautiful for older easy-going, relaxed folks who come here for a good conversation and an eggs benedict.

Thus, I decided to gather some inspirations from Pinterest and other sites and then make some collages with them to see what happens.

Currently, this is where I am.

I put one of the images I found to one of the photos of the space:

I like how there are people in this photo which makes it very real.

For the wall itself, it’s got many patterns so maybe too high energy for the vibe I should go for.

I like how this one give a vibe of the food they serve here: pancakes and some eggs.

I think this inspired me to think about making the edges of each frame here curved as well to add a friendly vibe but it might not be the scope of the project.

But I might still try.

I tried this one  and this one actually looks pretty real to the environment.

I am going to iterate upon this one.

Here is the final mock-up for today:

Interior Design (3/6/25)

Today I am going to make a couple more mock-ups of the space perhaps with the same imagery as the above to see what would best suit the design for this space.

Looking at the above image, I feel like the bottom area with those triangle tyles can be less loud.

After exploring that change, I’ll tweak the background entirely and I could either do a mural or continue with interesting wall decors and tiles.

Maybe this time, I should explore something that is a bit more elegant with toned-down colors and some interesting rhythm of the space.
