From the guest working on a laptop or reading a novel to the group of friends catching up, coffee shops and bakeries are the go-to spots for a wide range of customers. We decided to share some of the interior decor ideas & styles we absolutely love.

Your coffee shop interior can engage your guests, increase comfort, and urge them to become loyal patrons. Whether you are just planning to open a place or want to renovate and upgrade the one you already have, we hope this post can give you some ideas so you can create an alluring space that will improve your business.

Decor Accents to Consider
Studies show that the restaurant industry continues to boom because people enjoy immersing themselves in experiences, such as going out to eat. Additionally, with the growth of social media, more people look forward to sharing their experiences with others through images on platforms like Instagram. Outfitting your coffee shop interior with eye-catching, attractive elements contributes to creating a full-fledged experience for your guests while also serving as a free marketing tactic.
Depending on your cafe, certain parts of your coffee shop’s personality, values, and mission statement may or may not always be apparent in the color scheme and theme of your coffee shop decor. Choosing your accents wisely ensures that your brand and values come across to your patrons. Additionally, your coffeehouse decor has the capacity to make your space more engaging and immersive
Books & Magazines
Make sure the books and magazines you decide to display or have ready for your customers to enjoy relate to your brand and mission. You can include an eclectic mix of books to satisfy a range of customer interests.

Mugs Cups & Dishes
The style and color of your mugs and dishes can bring your brand’s personality to light. For example, a modern coffee shop might include brightly colored mugs and saucers, while a rustic cafe may offer neutral-colored mugs and mason jars for water.
Artwork & Picture-worthy Spaces
Choose local artists to show that you are part of the local community or if you emphasize fair trade. If a cause is dear to you, such as civil rights, include artwork that expresses it.
Create a display that is calling for a picture moment: add a floral installation as a background, or a whole wall of vintage pieces of vinyl making it irresistible not to take photos.

Music
Music has the capacity to bring out a specific vibe in your cafe. If you operate a rustic cafe, try playing grassroots music. If your spot is modern, you might choose more upbeat, popular songs. You may also choose to change your music based on your customer base; if your cafe is full of guests working on their computers, choose non-distracting music, like jazz or songs without lyrics.
