Cafe-style kitchens: features, photos

Finishing materials are of great importance for decorating a kitchen in the “cafe” style. As a basis, you can take brick, decorative plaster, natural stone or their imitation. The best results are obtained by combining these materials.

The mood and the necessary color will help to give photowall-paper with a suitable image, but you need to use them on a small area, you should not decorate the entire wall with them. False windows are often used in the design of a cafe-style kitchen. They can be mirrored, luminous, or with an insert from a photo wallpaper depicting the views that can be observed from the windows of a small restaurant or street cafe.

It is better if such a window looks like a real one, for which they imitate not only a frame, laying it on the wall, but also window sills, on which you can put pots with flowering plants. Instead of a false window, a part of the wall can be decorated with a fresco, or decorated with a painting.

A cafe-style kitchen must have a bar counter, even if it is quite small. If the kitchen is very small and you cannot find a suitable counter on sale, you can build a counter divider between the kitchen and the living room, or use a console table. The window sill can be turned into a bar counter or sofas with soft seats can be placed next to the window - this will match the style well.

Furniture in a cafe-style kitchen design can be either wooden, for example, folding, or metal, forged. You will have to give up standard kitchen corners - in real cafes these are not installed.

A must-have accessory for any cafe is a shelf with wine bottles. Therefore, provide an open rack or shelf for your favorite wines, it is better if they are wooden. It is not at all necessary to put real alcohol on these shelves; it is permissible to use decorative bottles to create the right atmosphere in a cafe-style kitchen.

Small bouquets of flowers in vases, a board on which you can pin your home menu, or even better - one on which you can write it with chalk, will become a pleasant and stylish addition.

Antique kitchen utensils - coffee grinders, copper mortars, coffee-brewers - will also go well with any type of home “cafe”. If the establishments of Italy or France were taken as a basis, then bunches of onions, peppers, garlic, hung on the walls, would become an appropriate decoration. They can be both natural and artificial.
