IBU recently opened its doors in the trendy Vesterbro neighborhood and head-chef Henrik Jyrk commissioned Ferm Living to create a welcoming restaurant decor that actively paid homage to the Asian-inspired cuisine and the chef's Nordic roots. The result is a modern interior design with a heavy emphasis on grey shades that bring out the subdued peachy nuances in the lamps, pillows and dishware. Ferm Living also painted a select few of the walls for a color-pop effect. The subdued restaurant decor also makes way for the [creative lighting fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nin-hao-restaurant) that are surely the main attraction within the newly designed space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Subtle Color-pop:** Incorporating subtle pops of color in interior design to create a visually engaging space. - **Culture-fusion:** Blending different cultural influences in restaurant designs to create unique dining experiences. - **Creative Lighting Fixtures:** Using innovative and visually appealing lighting fixtures as a focal point in interior design. ### Where This Applies - **Restaurant and Hospitality:** Opportunity for restaurants and hospitality businesses to create visually distinctive and culturally inspired spaces. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate color-pop elements and cultural fusion in their designs. - **Lighting Design:** Opportunities for lighting designers to create innovative and eye-catching lighting fixtures for various spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Copper Wall-Lined Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikoyi.md) - [Retro-Futurist Restaurant Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturist-restaurant.md) - [Japanese Minimalist-Inspired Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fifteen-east.md) - [Culture-Fusion Restaurant Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henri-restaurant.md) - [Blue-Toned Restaurant Lounges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agli-amici-1887.md) - [Minimally Designed Revamped Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etch-restaurant.md) - [Earthy Palette Fine-Dining Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logy.md) - [Diffused Light Chinese Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nin-hao-restaurant.md) - [Vibrant Food Corner Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/branding-corner-design.md)
