How to Decorate With a Coffeehouse Theme

Coffeehouses are usually trendy, stylish and evoke a sense of comfort and well-being. Therefore, it's only natural to want to incorporate this theme into your home. Coffeehouses are places in which people get together, talk and enjoy tasting delicious drinks. Turning a room in your home into a hip coffee joint is typically easy and enjoyable, and will surely have your friends knocking on your door for a sip of the tasty brews. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Paint the room dark and rich colors. Many coffeehouses are adorned with browns, reds, tans and blacks. Translate this theme into your room by painting the walls a deep tan, and accent by painting the trim red, brown or black or all three. You could also paint all the walls except one brown or tan and paint the remaining wall a rich red. This provides a dramatic burst of color, while still staying true to the coffeehouse color palette.

2

Pull bar stools up to your counter. Bar stools are a quintessential staple in coffeehouses and give your room a chic, yet laid-back feel. Tall bar stools also provide you and your guests with comfort.

3

Place a small table in your room and cover it with a tablecloth. Coffeehouses typically have these tiny tables that usually seat only two or three comfortably. Stick a small vase with tiny flowers inside or a mock coffeehouse menu.

4

Decorate your walls with coffee-themed objects. For instance, pictures or paintings relating to coffee would be most appropriate, as would a chalkboard featuring the daily specials, or something fun and coffee-related. Old coffee advertisements and posters also give the room an authentic coffeehouse feel.

5

Place coffee-related items on your counters and shelves. Got a few interesting-looking coffee tins or mugs? Scatter them around your counters or shelves for simple decorations.
