Colourful Cafe Interior Design Ideas

Cafe interior design ideas can feel over done and same-same when looking at wall papers and art prints. We recommend commissioning a custom mural for your cafe to bring some one-of-a-kind flare to the building. In the bustling world of cafes and coffee shops, standing out is not just about serving great coffee and delicious food; it’s also about creating an unforgettable experience for your customers. Wear your brand on your walls and give your customers something to admire whilst they chow down on breakfast and lunch.

Some of our favourite cafe commissions…

Whether your cafe is located in a tropical paradise or in between skyscrapers, you can still make the space your own by transforming a blank wall. Hang plants, change the floor tiling or commission an artist to paint an accent wall that will have people talking. Michael from Sydney, Australia painted an awesome mural for a cafe in Haberfield. “The mural design and featured portrait really brought another dimension of experience to this outdoor space.”

Feel inspired by colour, what are your brand colours or is your cafe building just another boring building in a line of boring buildings? Spice it up! Paint the walls and the floors in the tones and hues of your choosing.

Cafe interior design doesn’t have to be the end of your creative expression! Exterior design is just as important. Aida from Los Angeles painted a cafe and the building next to it. “This was an old building next to a cafe that wanted to have some native flowers to make the building pop a bit more.”

Alternatively, say it with a sign! Lai from Singapore helped a small business say all they needed to say with a mural artwork featuring big animated lettering.

“IT’S A GREAT COFFEE HOUSE” truly gets the message across to customers in a fun and creative way.

Engage your customers with interactive elements that encourage creativity and participation. Why not install a chalkboard walls for doodling, or use sign art to get people to read and learn more about your cafe.

Cafe interior design ideas are all about splashes of colour and immersing your customers in your brand and business.
