Looking to Expand Your Business?

Greetings,

Are you thinking about expanding and growing your current business? Whether you own a gourmet food truck or food cart, taking the next step in owning your very own restaurant is a big decision to make and the staff at IYID are here to help you. We specialize in restaurant design and we can work with business owners to create the best possible space by creating a design that compliments your vision and style for new and returning customers to appreciate.

So ask yourself: Do you see yourself expanding your menu but need more room to make that happen? Are you ready to experience owning a restaurant? Do you want to turn your vision into a reality?

There are many restaurants in the heart of Portland that are favored by many. What people don't realize is the importance of the surrounding while they're dining. Interior design is important when determining how welcoming or comfortable the space may be for customers to enjoy their meal with their co-workers, friends or family. From the tables or booths guests dine at, to the lighting hanging above them, their surroundings reflect how long they decide to dine-in or even come in at all; in addition to the friendliness and knowledge of the wait staff. 

Working with us is easy.

When a person teams up with IYID, that person has the opportunity to experience the fun side of interior design - we handle the paperwork, ordering and so on, so that our clients don't have to.

 If you are thinking about expanding or opening a new restaurant, call the experts at IYID today at 503-688-9499 so we can help you turn your vision into a reality!

Happy Halloween!

Changing Up for Autumn!

Fall has finally arrived!

As the leaves turn orange and the days get shorter, it may be time for a little change as we get ready for the holidays! These simple updates and fun little touches can bring personality and interest to your home.

     

Play with textures and color for some fall flavor to add to your table top decor.

A patterned area rug or colorful cushion can add that extra spark and interest to a room where you may want to highlight your sofa or chair. Retrieved from Real Simple. 2012.

Toss odd number of throw pillows on your couch and infuse personality by mixing materials and brightly textured patterns with pops of color to emphasis a neutral room.

You can also update your space by moving around furniture, adding lighting, hanging up new wall art, or even trying a new coat of paint. Adding these little touches can make a space come to life! Call us today at 503.688.9499 so we can help you love your space!

Outstanding Table Top Award

Greetings everyone!

We are very excited to announce that our dining space Where to Next? was awarded the Outstanding Table Top Award via the panel of judges last weekend at the Serving Up Style gala fundraiser! It was a crazy week with long hours shuffling around the colorful tulle and setting up for final reveal in just two days. This was our first year participating in Serving Up Style and it was definitely a memorable, rewarding week. The staff at IYID already has ideas for creating an even more whimsical dining space next year!

Hand fabricated with steel wires, then painted and draped with tulle and shear gives this hot air balloon its elegance
that received many Ooo's and Ahhh's by the thousands of viewers who attended the show.

The flaming reds and oranges in the centerpiece
acts as the flames to fuel the hot air balloon.
Thank you, Andrea, for this beautiful addition!

A magnifying glass and rolled up map
were carefully chosen to add as our finishing
touches to our table setting.

Other items to complete the table top included
a compass, a telescope, a globe,
lanterns, and of course, our hand-crafted
one-of-a-kind hot air balloon.

Thank you to all of our friends and families for all of your support in making this a successful event. We want to also congratulate all of the talented designers and their beautiful showcases. They were all so amazing and magical! These designers did a spectacular job at representing the best in design in the city of Portland.

In turn, this event helped raise over $52k to help benefit the lupus awareness and service initiatives of Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus. Way to go everyone!

Be sure to check out HGTV Design Start, Emily Henderson, who gave shout-outs to some of the designers, including IYID!

Have a fantastic week and please stay tuned for more updates on our current projects!
