Commercial Interior Design for Food Environments
Once your branding is established, it is important to carry the aesthetic through all the digital and physical spaces that your customers will visit.
We take your branding and its aesthetic and translate them into physical spaces. Together we will create a space that echoes your brand promise and values in a memorable, Instagrammable way. We outline what you can create within your retail space to encourage customers to align with your brand and create a path to purchase. We have a particular affinity for pre-loved commercial fixtures and finishings and can assist in sourcing these unique pieces.
INTERIOR DESIGN SERVICES:
-
A visit to the site location will help determine the parameters around site flow, lighting and dimensions
-
Using research and consultation, we determined what textures, colours, and fixtures would support the existing brand aesthetic in the physical space. An image of recommendations is supplied.
The image is used as a way of generating discussion to determine the final design project.
-
A document is created that breaks down each element of the space (i.e. front counter, lighting, seating, selected colours) and provides shopping links to each section.
-
Eye Candy can help source the less common fixtures and furnishings, including monitoring auction sales and consignment shops for specific items.

Coffee Lounge Area Interior Design
Hair Salon Moodboard
After working on the packaging for a new creamery based in Belmont, Ontario, we set about transforming their retail space to match the established design aesthetic.
We wanted to reinforce both the colour palette and the diamond pattern, and made use of elements like lighting, handpainted wall murals, and a collection of vintage milk bottles to achieve the effect.
Market Booth Design
As an interim stage to Cafezia’s main launch, they participated in a local indoor spring market. While the packaging itself wasn’t ready, we still managed to inject some of the new branding into the space.
Features included banners, greenery in the windows, artifical grass as a carpet, and a celebratory feel using flowers and tulle.

Helped a hardworking and talented restaurant owner realize a beautiful restaurant interior with a seriously limited budget but plenty of elbow grease and ingenuity!
Features included a wall covered in vintage mirrors; genuine cast-iron farmhouse sinks in the bathrooms; using the client’s own collection of kitchen utensils as a display wall in the lobby; and a rich verdant green for the walls.

“When making design decisions for my restaurant, I felt totally lost! Not only was I on a super-tight budget, but I had very specific ideas of what I wanted the space to look like... but did not have the language or the knowledge to make that vision come to life. In came Amanda DeVries!
Amanda consulted with me and my team in a way that was patient and encouraging. She heard me out and really listened to what my dream vision of the space was. For me, this meant a lot of rustic features, bold colours and thrift store finds.
Not only did Amanda help source the ‘ingredients’ for my space - she also helped choose the perfect colours for the walls, curtains, trim... she thought of so many details that I hadn’t considered such as the flow of the space, the lighting in the bathrooms, etc.
Amanda was attentive and efficient... but more than that, she was compassionate. You might not think you need this quality in a designer... but let me tell you from personal experience... designing your brick and mortar space can be incredibly stressful. Amanda took the stress out of the equation and took care of all the details. She transformed our space from no-one-would-ever-want-to-eat-here... to a beautiful place where I wanted to hang out even after a 12 hour shift.”
