Every corner is a canvas, every detail tells a story.
Kitchen:
A compact yet efficient setup uses patterned tiles for an expressive, artistic touch. Stainless steel counters balance practicality with design. Shelves above display colorful cups and bowls, adding vibrancy. The walls carry graffiti-style motifs that carry the café’s playful energy. It’s designed to be as visually lively as it is functional.
Sitting Area:
Walls adorned with curated local artwork set the tone for creativity and dialogue. Mismatched vintage chairs and raw wood tables give the space character. Every corner is styled differently—encouraging guests to explore. Throw pillows in bright hues soften the eclectic look. Plants drape down shelves, blending nature with art.
Reception/Counter:
The centerpiece counter is designed with reclaimed wood, fronted by a bold mural wall. Pendant lights with colorful shades hang dramatically overhead. A chalkboard menu keeps the setup casual and ever-changing. Behind the counter, ceramic jars and coffee machines stay visible yet stylishly arranged. This zone feels interactive and lively.
Colour Palette:
The café bursts with bold hues of mustard, teal, and burnt orange. Neutral tones like white and black balance the palette, keeping it cohesive. Each wall or corner highlights a different accent shade, adding layers of interest. Artwork introduces additional pops of vibrant colors. The palette inspires creativity and invites lively energy.
Materials & Texture:
Exposed brick adds rugged charm, while terracotta tiles bring warmth. Hand-painted murals and textured wall art act as both décor and storytelling. Wood and steel mix seamlessly in tables and counters. Cushions and throws provide tactile softness against harder elements. The textures reflect playfulness and eclectic artistry.
Furniture:
Mismatched chairs and tables give the café a curated, collected look. Vintage wooden pieces are combined with painted metal chairs. Low benches encourage casual seating, while high stools add variety. Each table has a slightly different character, making the space dynamic. The mix is functional while telling a visual story.
Lighting:
Pendant lamps in quirky shapes and colors act as statement pieces. Wall sconces highlight artwork, creating gallery-like corners. Spotlights enhance murals without being harsh. Natural light during the day is left unobstructed with minimal drapes. At night, warm tones create an intimate and vibrant atmosphere.
