The right interior design is pivotal to a successful restaurant or retail store. While quality products are going to be the driving force behind a business, the environment that is created in a restaurant or retail store will always be the element to make any first and lasting impressions. From a recent article by Mindful Design, here are three of the top commercial design trends for 2012. 

1. Bold and warm colors inspired by the Pantone Color of the Year, Tangerine Tango

2. Eco-friendly materials that are reclaimed or that can be reused or recycled. 

3. Organic shapes that are inspired by landscapes. 

Stone tile mosaics are a popular design solution for restaurant and retail owners that are looking to achieve an environmentally conscious design with a variety of organic shapes and warm, natural hues. Adding visual interest and appeal with colors and textures straight from nature, these stone mosaics are not only beautiful but environmentally responsible as well. Stone tile mosaics are considered a very green material because they are actually fabricated from recycled stone remnants. To show you the wonderful visual effect that these eco-friendly stone mosaics have in commercial design, here are some examples restaurant designs featuring mosaics courtesy of Autentico
