Art for restaurants
Dining rooms ask more of their artwork than most spaces — kitchen humidity, ambient cooking aerosols, frequent table-side moves. We supply restaurant projects with prints framed for the conditions and curated for the room.
What a restaurants project needs from its art supplier.
Framing tuned to the environment
Kitchen-adjacent walls collect more airborne fat than people realise. We frame restaurant pieces with sealed-back mouldings and UV-filtering acrylic so the print stays protected and the glazing wipes clean.
Curated to fit the room
Restaurant art reads as part of the experience. We brief alongside the designer or operator: cuisine, materials, lighting, and clientele all narrow the palette before we propose works.
Standardised replacement stock
Restaurant frames take more wear than residential ones. We can hold replacement prints from your edition at the gallery, sized and framed identically, ready for next-day dispatch.
Operational notes we’d raise on every brief.
Glazing choice in dining rooms
Anti-reflective museum acrylic almost disappears under restaurant lighting. The cost difference per piece is small at the project level and the visual difference is meaningful.
Bar wall vs dining wall
Bar walls carry busier, more saturated pieces; dining walls do better with quieter, single-subject works that don't pull focus from the food. We brief both separately.
Wipe-clean frames
Closed-back frames with sealed glazing edges allow housekeeping to wipe the surface without seepage into the print envelope.
What working with us tends to look like.
A 60-cover restaurant taking 8–14 pieces — a statement work behind the bar, a coordinated set across the main dining room, and a quieter pairing in the entrance. Briefed with the designer, framed in matching mouldings, delivered ahead of soft opening.
The archival side of a restaurants project.
Every print on a restaurantsbrief is an archival giclée on Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm, Wilhelm-rated for 100+ years under glass, made to order in our Surrey workshop and framed by hand with UV-filtering acrylic as standard. FSC paper, pigment inks rather than dye, UK supply chain on the framing, and no inventory destruction because nothing’s printed until it’s ordered. We’ll include the FSC certificates, Wilhelm documentation, and Hahnemühle data sheets in the project pack on request.
