5. Colour Trends: The Bright Colours Impacting Moods and Venues

   June 15, 2023 2:00 pm Leave a Comment

   Even if you consider yourself a lover of neutrals you may be finding yourself drawn to the bright and wonderful more than ever at the moment. Bright colours are making a bigger impact than ever before.

   With bright colours making a loud impact amongst dopamine dressers, you’ll want dopamine in more aspects of your life. Within times of strife (which, we have seen a fair amount in the recent years), we see trends of people seeking joy wherever possible, especially where we go to spend our time.

   Why not make an impact with dopamine designing?

   Grasp people’s attention with bold reds or stimulate both happiness and optimism with hues of yellow. Create a sense of confidence with deep blues or emphasise joy with touches of orange.

   

   To create an accurate imagery of how colours affect your mood we referred to the experts over at Masterclass and their analysis of colour psychology.

   Psychology of Cool Tone Colours

   If you are wanting to emulate an environment of serenity or spark senses of creativity and innovation then cooler tones of blues and purples would be perfect. By using these colours you will also create an environment of health and well being.

   SERENITY AND CREATIVITY

   Versital has many perfect options to emulate the serenity you dream of:

   Vibrant purples

   A deep lavender purple with black veining – our exclusive Peri-winkle inspired by Pantone’s colour of the Year Very Peri is the perfect option.

   

   

   Dreamy lavenders

   Penthouse is a beautiful bold lavender marble with swirls of veins throughout.

   

   

   Soft pops of blue

   A simple white marble with a light blue vein throughout. Cirrus allows you to add pops of colour without them being too overpowering.

   

   HOME DECOR

   For the home opt for Versital in the bathroom by using it for vanity tops or bathroom wall panels.  If you are wanting some dopamine mixed with a sense of calm to start your day then these colours will give you everything you are looking for.

   HOSPITALITY

   Create a serene environment with these unique colours, whilst standing out from the crowd. Dare to be different and let the dopamine roll in.  

   Why not consider using the different colours on bar tops, table tops or paneling. As well as in your washrooms.

   Psychology of Warm Tone Colours

   Warm tones evoke feelings of optimism, energy and happiness. As well as grabbing hold of your attention. Strong warm colours like yellow, reds, orange and pinks can create a positive environment with it being claimed that the colour red can increase a person’s appetite, making it perfect for a restaurant. If you are wanting to dress a bar in a lively and exciting way then warm tones may be exactly what you are looking for.

   OPTIMISM AND ENERGY

   Versital has many options to cater to the high energy vibe you are going for:

   Bold reds

   A rich raspberry pink marble with swirls of lighter pink and purple. Childer creates a strong warmth in any setting., whilst being bold and unique.

   

   

   Soft Shades of pink

   A rose pink marble with yellow and white veins swirled throughout. Cool charm is a soft and subtle addition of colour being the perfect option for some gentle dopamine decor.

   

   Golden accents

   A modern salmon pink marble with metallic gold veins. Koi not only gives you a strong colour but also adds a feel of luxury with its touches of gold.

   

   

   Vibrant yellows

   A rich orange yellow marble. Sunflower is a strong and bright completely unique yellow marble. Sure to add happiness and vitamin D in any venue.

   

   Elegant touches of pink

   A daring soft pink with strong veins of white and brick red. Rock N Rose will certainly add an elegant touch of rich pink to your venue.

   

   

   

   Rich Oranges

   Tamarind is a rich red orange marble, making you feel full of vitamin C.

   

   HOME DECOR

   For the home opt for Versital in the bathroom by using it for vanity tops or bathroom wall panels.  If you are feeling bold and brave then these colours will be a perfect way to brighten your mood and give you a positive way to start your day.

   HOSPITALITY

   If you are wanting to be loud and proud then these are the bright colours for you. Brighten up your space and welcome in the joy seekers. Create a lively and exciting venue using these colours.

   Why not consider using the fun colours on bar tops, table tops or paneling. As well as in your washrooms.

6. Gothic Interiors Inspired by Interior Design Masters Winner: Monika Charchula

   June 1, 2023 2:00 pm Leave a Comment

   If you have been invested in BBC1’s home décor reality show, Interior Design Masters, then you will be well aware of the 2023 winner, Monika Charchula. With her unique dark Victorian-style and Gothic interiors giving incredible results in the show.

   During the show Monika revealed an array of show stopping transformations and confidence in her choices. Having a brave sense of style and bold colours, combined to create a luxury Gothic interior. Monika brought to light a highly contrasting trend to the neutrals we tend to consistently see. Creating her own distinctive style.

   Monika most certainly left us wanting more over here at Versital.

   

   

   INSPIRED BY MONIKA

   Monika brought something different to interior design, focusing on rustic natural wood features, complimented with bold pops of colour.

   Using a rustic wooden feature introduces natural tones into your venue. Creating a unique Victorian aesthetic. Bespoke carved wooden features such as on the bar panels, helps you stand out from the crowd and create a new offering for your customers.

   

   If you love the rustic wooden touches from Monika’s style, why not consider adding a bespoke carved wooden bar, or add elements of natural wood with small touches such as wooden overhead features and furniture.

   Plau Preston, added a rustic touch with the bespoke carved bar front. The award winning bar has a similar style to Monika, mirroring a Victorian Gothic aesthetic.

   Monika’s business 84 Square, creates eclectic Gothic furniture which would help anyone add a touch of natural wood to their environment. If you are not wanting large wooden features you could always opt for natural wood antique furnishings.

   

   TOUCH OF LUXURY

   Monika did not shy away from adding elements of luxury to her Gothic interiors.

   Luxury within hospitality is in high demand, so why not add a touch of opulence to your natural wood finishes. By using a classic marble finish to your tops, continuing the Victorian Gothic design within the venue, whilst adding the essence of luxury. Versital has many classic marbles within the heritage collection which would go perfectly alongside Monika’s aesthetic.

   Versital’s marble is non-porous and 100% waterproof, making the marble a hard wearing and long lasting piece. The marble can be made to suit any venue, with bespoke drop edge details you will be able to create a unique piece which mirrors your aesthetic perfectly.

   

   Plau Preston opted for Arabesque on their bar top. A beautiful classic finish which perfectly complements the carved wooden bar front. Adding an essence of luxury and ease to their bar.

   DARK SHADES AND A POP OF COLOUR

   Partner your Rustic features with a touch of deep navy and black. Rich dark colours add further depth to the Gothic interior. Contrasting the dark tones with a pop of colour, we have seen orange and navy work together perfectly. Similarly to black and vibrant yellow.

   Create fun features that stand out by playing with the use of colour. Similarly to Monika’s designs, colour will add more depth to your interior and create an interesting environment.

   

   Rustic and Victorian elements are partnered with a rich navy wall and chairs to complement. Implementing a fun twist of a deep orange. Alongside rustic wooden features and Gothic-Victorian decor.

   

   Front lobby using an out of this world cosmic pattern with vibrant pops of yellow. Partnered with eclectic decorative features.

   

   USE OF GREENERY

   Botanical features are taking over. Greenery and natural features are being implemented into venues more often. Monika’s work shows this through both botanical artwork on the walls as well as the addition of real plants.

   Add features of greenery or botanical elements to draw in a natural feature. Whether that is through using real plants throughout your venue or displaying unique printed wallpaper.

   

   

   When creating a venue, ensure you have your own strong identity to show whilst you take inspiration from others.

   WORKING WITH VERSITAL

   As well as manufacturing to design specification we are also on hand to offer advice to designers to help create the vision they have whilst being a practical real-world solution. We often have designers who approach us with a brief and initial design who may need advice making it work in practice.

   Our aim is to take the stress away from the designer and end client and work alongside other trades to get a good end result.

   As well as being a beautiful marble finish it offers the benefits of being extremely hygienic, easy to clean and non-porous so will not stain.

   May 19, 2023 9:58 am Leave a Comment

   Typically, when discussing night out adventures you will excitedly discuss the delicious food, the unique cocktails and the exquisite décor. Focusing on the key features that the venue wants you to talk about. That does not mean that you will forget the lasting impression of the washrooms. With toilets being the first and last thing your customer remembers, you want to ensure it is a good memory.

   You don’t want you customers dreading to go back to the grubby space allocated to them, with overflowing bins. You want the toilet to mirror the venue, ensuring it isn’t a questionably damp and badly lit space that they would prefer to vacate quickly!

   Though toilets are not the main priority they should be placed pretty far up your list. Remembering that the cleanliness and appearance of the washroom will in turn mirror the way your customers view your entire venue.

   

   DO CUSTOMERS REALLY CARE ABOUT MY TOILET?

   HOW DO I IMPROVE MY WASHROOMS?

   It is important your washrooms mirror your venue and identity as a whole. However, there are some popular design features that are creating the perfect washroom experience.

   1. Don’t forget the essence of comfort

   Washrooms are becoming a more social space where your customers can escape from the busy environment to somewhere slightly quieter. With many introducing soft furnishings such as pouffes to sit on.

   It is also popular to place these in front of mirrors, to allow the touching up of makeup.

   

   

   

   

   2. Add a touch of luxury

   Entice your customers into a luxurious trip to the loo. Add touches of opulence with beautiful marble vanity tops and paneling.

8. Pink Bars Are Influencing Hospitality; You Ready?

   May 5, 2023 1:28 pm Leave a Comment

   Pretty pinks have been taking over the world, and now they are forever changing the way we go to bars and restaurants. As pink bars are popping up everywhere you don’t want to be behind on this trend. With Instagram creating a desire to see all things ‘instagrammable’, pink bars have become the perfect photo spot on a Friday night.

   As the design world takes some rest and recovery from the years of all grey everything, many are looking to brighter palettes and colour schemes.

   

   ---

   THE PSYCHOLOGY OF COLOUR – HOW DOES PINK MAKE YOU FEEL?

   The specific shade of pink can affect associations and meanings. A light pink is often viewed as soft, healing, and peaceful, whereas a hot pink might be seen as bold, exciting, and alarming.

   Kendra Cherry, Very Well Mind

   Pink is known to be a calming colour which is associated with femininity and youth, as well as emulating a sense of playfulness.

   The use of bold pink tones will also create a sense of urgency and desire. As well as alleviating any feelings of anger leading to a calmness of emotional energies.

   Combinations of pink can create the perfect feminine and playful environment which will be memorable to those who come and visit.

   

   POPULAR PINK TONES

   We have seen the rise of many different shades of pinks, including the infamous millennial pink which has been seen all over and desired by many.

   With every bar wanting to have an identity and set out from the rest it is important to ensure that you look at the variety of different pinks available in the market.

   Versital has a fair few to choose from:

   BLUSH

   A classic white marble with swirls of soft pink veins.

   

   ROCK N ROSE

   A soft pink back with strong veins of white and brick red

   

   COOL CHARM

   A rose pink marble with swirls of white and yellow veins.

   

   KOI

   A beautiful modern salmon pink marble with metallic gold veins

   

   ---

   HOW TO STYLE WITH PINK

   Versital has seen the variety of pinks used in a numbers of ways. A good way to use pink is combining it with other colours such as purples and blues.

   

   The barbie dream has also been created by using a multitude of pinks collided together to create the perfect feminine fantasy.

   

   To create a sense of otherworldly nature the pinks have also been intertwined with bold botanical wallpaper and large plants.

   

    However, if you are wanting to create a more subdued environment then why not use soft and subtle blush tones in combination with creams and natural lighting.  

   

   Or why not go all out and emphasise the modern look of your venue with neon lights and large swirly fonts decorating the walls.

   

   Contrasting colours can create a loud look that wants to be heard. This bathroom was decorated with koi contrasting with a lime green colour. Creating a watermelon paradise.

   

   If you are not wanting an entirely pink bar why not look at how Ate O’clock managed to add a pop of pink with a Rock N Rose bar.

   

   Make sure you create a pink bar that has a strong identity and is memorable to those who visit.

   As well as manufacturing to design specification we are also on hand to offer advice to designers to help create the vision they have whilst being a practical real-world solution. We often have designers who approach us with a brief and initial design who may need advice making it work in practice.

   Our aim is to take the stress away from the designer and end client and work alongside other trades to get a good end result.

   As well as being a beautiful marble finish it offers the benefits of being extremely hygienic, easy to clean and non-porous so will not stain

    SUNSET OASIS

    Grab a cocktail and escape to a dreamy sunset oasis whilst getting comfy on the cosy booths surrounded by calming mood lighting. If you are needing a trip to paradise then you are in the right place.

    Named after the honey used by singers to treat their throat, the bar has another connection to the music industry with the founder being the drummer Ben Thompson from Two Door Cinema Club. Located in the heart of West Sussex. Offering creative cocktails until early hours of the morning.

    AWARD WINNING DESIGNING

    Designed by the award winning 3 stories design. Celebrating Miami Beach vibes and the “golden Hour”, transporting you into a hedonistic, peach hued paradise.

    Celebrating the golden hour… as the sun sets, be transported away from the streets of Worthing and into a hedonistic, peach hued, oasis. For Manuka we created an intimate but bold interior scheme in harmony with a warm, playful new brand identity

    – 3 Stories

    

    The identity is built on a graphic linear gradient, reflective of the sun going down… and the party starting. This design language is brought to life with stylised icons, and applied across various applications such as logo, menu, printed collateral & signage.

    – 3 stories

    MANUKA PARADISE

    A sense of serenity will envelope you as you get transported into the Manuka paradise. The pink interior highlights the desire for young femininity within the bar as well as wanting to create a playful environment. Creating a perfectly insta-worthy night out.

    Bespoke Matching Bar tops and Table tops

    The matching pink bar and tables emphasise the playfulness of the bar. The designer 3 Stories opted to use the exclusive pink marble Rock n Rose from Versital.

    Versital bar tops and table tops are fully bespoke and made to designers specification, allowing complete freedom of design and expression. They were able to carry the theme of ‘pink paradise’ with Rock N Rose throughout the venue.

    

    The warm and playful interior created with the pink hues will make you want to stay until the sun rises.
