# Laid-Back Coastal Pizzerias The Melt Restaurant Matches Quality Food with High-End Interior Design By Madison Mackay | Published 2018-03-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melt-restaurant References: [wallpaper](https://www.wallpaper.com/travel/australia/adelaide/restaurants/melt) & [meltpizzeria.au](http://meltpizzeria.com.au/) The Adelaide-based interior designers of Studio-Gram worked with restaurant owner [Simon Kardachi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philz-coffee-and-simon-sinek) on the new Melt Restaurant in Adelaide, Australia. The goal for the space was to create a comfortable yet [modern experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-mediterranean-restaurant) that would fit the beach-like vibe of the menu. The team decided to avoid the cliché scheme of whitewashed floor and light linen, instead creating a space that pays homage to classic Australian beach culture. With a soft color scheme including light pinks, yellow and pops of green in parts, the restaurant has an [open-air design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/malka) that allows the sea breeze to flow throughout. With 15 signature pizzas on the menu, the restaurant offers variety and quality in both the menu and the interior design. The new Melt Restaurant from Simon Kardachi is a unique dining experience for both locals and tourists. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Comfortable Modern Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to create comfortable and modern spaces that deviate from cliché design schemes. - **Coastal-inspired Color Schemes:** Opportunity for restaurants and businesses to incorporate soft color schemes that pay homage to beach culture. - **Open-air Restaurant Design:** Opportunity for restaurateurs to create open-air designs that allow for natural airflow and a refreshing dining experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for interior designers to create unique and comfortable dining experiences. - **Hospitality:** Opportunity for businesses in the hospitality industry to attract customers by incorporating coastal-inspired color schemes. - **Restaurant:** Opportunity for restaurateurs to differentiate their businesses by implementing open-air restaurant designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Toronto Pizzeria Interior Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/north-of-brooklyn-1.md) - [Grotto-Like Punctuated Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cibaria.md) - [Red Brick-Adorned Rustic Pizzerias](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capiche.md) - [Coastal Chilean Eateries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mareida.md) - [Fast-Casual Industrial Style Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rale-milanga.md) - [Milanese-Themed Restaurant Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/san-carlo-liverpool.md) - [Playful Restaurant Elevations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toms-pasta.md) - [Retro Sandwich Diners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renzo-sandwich.md) - [Minimally Designed Revamped Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etch-restaurant.md)
