Alora is a new tapas and small plates restaurant in Nottingham, housed in a converted old bank building.
The redevelopment included flooring works to the front of house restaurant, toilets, and back of house bar and kitchen areas, working on an extended long-term programme due to delays with building works.
Design played a key role in the concept for this project. Alora needed a flooring solution that would reflect its unique character and vibrant cuisine. The goal was to create a stylish, inviting social space for dining.
To achieve this, Amtico luxury vinyl tile was laid in an innovative, modern block pattern throughout, adding a contemporary edge to the building’s historic architecture. In the snug, the Axminster carpet, with its heavily patterned design, provided warmth and visual impact, enhancing the restaurant’s atmosphere and aligning with its eclectic menu. In the back of house areas, IVC Isafe 70 vinyl provided much-needed safety and durability.
The final result was a dynamic and visually engaging interior that blended modern style with traditional charm, offering customers an exceptional all-round dining experience. The flooring supported the restaurant’s vision for design, but also delivered durability and functionality for a high-traffic environment, setting the stage for a successful launch.
