The style of the Dimore Studio interiors now characterizes one of the most well-known London best bars. In fact, the Italian duo Emiliano Salci and Britt Moran, worldwide known as Dimore Studio, have been tasked with the designing of the new interiors of Leo’s inside The Arts Club on Dover Street, in Mayfair, London. This is a major event for The Arts Club since it represents its most significant transformation since the overhaul of 2011.

Leo’s interior design guides you through influences from the 1960s, with a mix of contemporary retro and oriental elements. In fact, one of the secrets of the Dimore Studio interiors duo is that they dare to mix a number of colours, bar furniture, and styles. These bar decor ideas are divided into two areas – a bar with a counter and counter stools and a nightclub with a stage.

The bar’s wallpaper is dark with geometric patterns, while green Guatemalan marble has been chosen by the two designers for the countertop. A touch of glamour is added by the velvet brass counter bar stools, upholstered in dark pink shade.

The nightclub, conversely, is characterized by a long sofa in orange and cognac, which runs around the perimeter and delineates circular booth.

Each booth features tables with lacquered enamel surfaces with concentric colored circles, or palm tree pattern and a central brass and steel foot. In each table, the Dimore Studio has also placed modern chairs with a central foot and flower-patterned lamps inspired by the oriental lanterns.

The floor is a unique parquet with brass detailing, while a deep hues purple carpet covers the surface of the platform.

Furthermore, the stage features a brass portal and a bamboo curtain, hand-painted with white and pink lotus blossoms on a pale blue background.

Best Bar decor ideas you can get from NoMad in New York

In Manhattan’s North of Madison Park neighborhood, the NoMad bar will let you immerse in a magical French atmosphere. This is one of the reasons why we’ve decided to inspire you with one of the best bar decor ideas you can find in New York.

Right around the corner of the already known NoMad hotel, the bar was purchased both as an extension to the hotel and as an independent destination. The beautiful location has been entirely restored by Stonehill & Taylor architects, who have been able to reverse time on the building and to bring it again to its past glory and it certainly is one of the best bar decor ideas you can find in New York.

The place has been conceived as a restaurant interior design concept with a tavern atmosphere, and its interiors create a continuum with the hotel French-inspired design. This can be seen in the use of marble mosaic floors, in the Persian rugs and in the choice of rich textures and colors.

The two-floor bar area design is another subtle nod to France and to the glorious past of the place. The focal point is the marvelous copper and wood counter bar and the antique mirror right behind it. The lower floor is filled with round green leather stools and matched with same colours banquettes.

Upstair, on the other hand, we find black armchair both in velvet and leather, with wooden legs.

Lastly, to emmerge even more the bar area design in the neighborhood atmosphere, the NoMad bar is completed with photography captured by local photographer MacKenzie Rollins within two blocks of the area.

On the top of the Panhellenic Beekman Tower, in Manhattan’s Midtown District there is one of New York best bars, the Ophelia Lounge, an authentic jewel.

The tower, designed in 1928 by the American Architec John Mead Howells, originally seved as an hotel ad lounge reserved to college graduated women belonging to national Greek-letter sororities. However, in 1930 the space has been opened to the publice and a new era began and the rooftop restaurant has became one of Frank Sinatra, Miles David and Frank Zappa’s favourite place.

Last February the Ophelia lounge opened its doors in this bulding full of history, showing to the world elgant interiors and an incredible panoramic view and combining a sense of intimacy, and confidently-crafted cocktails.

Entering the bar, while emerging from one of the three elevators, the first thing that capture your eyes is the pewter-cast bar, with its stool upholstered in deep red velvet from the italian textile company Alessandro Bini.

Additionally, as a reminder of the place’s past, you’ll find three paneled windows with an original 1920s iron framework, while the walls combine two shades of blue: a Bone China blue and a more modern royal shade.

Along the whole perimeter there are luxurios banquettes, matched to the deep red velvet of the counter stools, Lined to the banquettes we find white marble exagonal tables, while the whole floor is made of black and white tiles.

Being one of New York best bars, the Ophelia Lounge not only surpises you with its incredible interior design, but also with its 360-degree views on the city. In fact, a continuous bank of windows offer you a total rooftop view, both on the north and on the south side.
