I'm thinking about opening a Hookah Bar and Need your interior design opinion?

Question

Hey,

I'm thinking about opening up a hookah bar and I want to know what you think either having an authentic middle eastern look and feel with draperies, lamps, and couches with fancy exotic pillows. Or a newer fresh looking area comfortable for people who have never smoked hookah, with normal couches classy look and lights more modern or mix matched couches with a funky flair and lounge.

Answer 1

Try the new fresh looking area comfortable for people who have never smoked hookah, with normal couches classy look and lights more modern or mix matched couches with a funky flair and lounge.

Answer 2

It's a hookah bar! You have to have the exotic pillows and the whole middle eastern feel.... It just all flows together...Good luck on your new venture!!!

Answer 3

Mix it up.  Have a little bit of Middle Eastern flair, but try to keep it looking like a comfortable, romantic lounge.  Dark red walls and black borders are very popular in lounge type places (hair, tanning, and restaurants even).  Give it a modern, yet majestic, look and it will captivate people.
