The aesthetic language of this audience experience takes inspiration from 19th-century Hungarian interiors, specifically the Interior of the Royal Palace of Budapest. Because the show takes place in Hungary in the 1800s, we thought this style of interior design would be appropriate. Notable for dim lighting, warm accents, and smoky atmosphere, these interiors maintain a timeless charm.
Predominant colors featured in this style of antique interior design include:
- Rich amber hues
- Off whites / faded beiges
- Shining gold and deep brown accents
- Gilded candle-lit chandeliers
- Detailed oriental rugs
- Draping fabrics
- Dark wooden tables and pedestals
- Gilded picture frames
- Calligraphy / stationery sets
- Perfume bottles / vanities
The ambiance can be characterized by:
- Warm, dim lighting concentrated on tables and rugs
- Light conversation and acoustic music
- Scents of coffee and smoke in the air
By incorporating warm lighting, antique fabrics, and gold accents, our redesign elevated the aesthetics of the space while contributing to a friendlier environment. Moreover, by considering the temperature and smell, we helped enhance the homeliness of the experience.
