If you are thinking about how to design your small kitchen, try decorating it in the style of “cafe”.

This style is now at the forefront of interior fashion. The style of “cafe” means adding to the kitchen some associations, attributes of a Parisian or Viennese cafe, a cafe-pastry or Italian pizzeria. This design is a great way to give coziness and originality to the most popular room in the apartment.


The basic factor for creating a style of “cafe” is color. The kitchen needs to be decorated, adopting such colors as beige, sand, cream, the color of coffee with milk, light brown. And berry, wine and reddish-yellow shades. The choice of color combinations depends on what kind of stylization is needed, so a reddish-yellow color scheme is definitely suitable for creating an Italian image of a pizzeria.


Finishing materials are an important part of styling. Here it is necessary to use decorative plaster, as well as imitation “under brick” or “under natural stone”. It is best to combine these types of finishes. But the wallpaper is just very “fit” into the overall picture, only they need to finish only part of the wall – in the form of an insert.


The style of "cafe" involves a special decor of the walls: for example, a special false window (pane, imitating a real window), mirror or with an insert of the same wallpaper. In the style of “cafe” wallpaper imitate the views outside the window of a small restaurant. The false window should be as similar as possible to the present, preferably with a window sill, and even pots with flowers. Wallpaper or false window can be replaced with a large wall painting or fresco.

For the floor, only tile is suitable. As a decor in the stylization of “cafe”, the pattern of “strip” is excellent. The best options are gray-white, white-green, yellow-white, red-white.



A characteristic attribute of this style is the presence in the kitchen of a bar counter, at least the smallest. However, often the bar counter (typical, popular models) does not fit into the existing environment, especially if the kitchen is small. Then you need an individual project. For example, it can be a rack-partition between, say, the kitchen and the living room, a rack-continuation of kitchen furniture (at an angle to it). You can also use a console table, or even a window sill, if it is large enough. By the way, a large window sill can be decorated and as a bench with pillows - this is just one of the attributes of the style of "cafe".



Kitchen furniture in the style of “cafe” should be discreet, do not attract attention to yourself. Active should be the design of walls, accessories, table and chairs. The table and chairs can be forged, or can be in a folding, “street” version – all this is very typical. As a rule, both the table and chairs are small, unwieldy. Be sure to put pillows on the chairs. But the common kitchen soft corners for the style of "cafe" are not suitable.


In the style of "cafe" there should be an accent in the form of a "wine" shelf or rack. It is simple to organize, an ordinary wooden rack or hanging shelves will do. Ornamental bottles can also be placed. Complement the styling table lamps, a bouquet of flowers on the table, as well as a slate wall board with a “menu” for today.


Complete the creation of the image of beautiful dishes, hand coffee grinder, Turk, stylish kettle, spices in pots, well, if the stylization is Italian - bundles of decorative "vegetables" from papier-mache on the wall and beautiful bottles with aromatic vinegars on the shelf.
