Create an outside dining area which can add to the delight of the food served there. Your guests will enjoy sitting at a comfortable spot and enjoy their meal. If you do decide to have an outside theme, Choose comfortable tables and benches for people to sit on. You may even want to decorate the outside with paper lamps, lanterns, lights, and/or light based interiors at night or evening time. If your doing a formal restaurant, table lamps in pink and yellow pastel colors compliment well. Even lamps that are brightly colored and have fun patterns will work for fun-centers. If a family centered restaurant is being planned, leave the lamps out. Try using colored walls or statues, since they go better with this environment. You might even want to mix earth tone colors with pastels for a sophisticated look.
