Indulge in the romance and excitement of the authentic Parisian café bistro in your very own kitchen! Coffee themes have become extremely popular; understandably as this theme is filled with charm and art! In fact, some of the most interesting coffee themes, our Coffee House Collection for example, bring the history of art deco into the kitchen. An intriguing and growing design movement from the 1920’s and 30’s, Art Deco exudes modernism and futurism, lending elegance and functionality to interior design. In our day in age, we are constantly on the run and a coffee theme creates a perfect mood for the busy decorator; simplicity with unique style!
Style:
Artistic, modern, stimulating and soothing.
Colors:
You will find a mix of warm and cool colors in a coffee theme.
Warm = Browns, reds, burgundies, and oranges.
Cool = Blues and greens.
Lines:
Many coffee themes are designed with a style derived from the modernism and minimalism of Art Deco. The designs tend to be abstract and simple and the graphics provide a 1920’s mood.
Elements:
Finding coffee wall art is not difficult at all. However, finding coffee art printed on basic kitchen pieces can be. Fortunately, Theme Kitchen provides a complete kitchen décor collection in a coffee style. Adding simple elements such as canisters, spoon rests, trivets, and coffee cup shaped salt and pepper shakers will drastically change the mood of your kitchen and create the café bistro mood you’re looking for. Look for fabrics and graphics that contain steaming coffee!
Fabrics:
When adding curtains or towels, make sure you pick patterns that are warm and inviting. The fabrics shouldn’t be sheer or heavy and thick – medium thickness is just right.
Tips:
· Since coffee themes contain warm colors with busy graphics, small kitchens can end up looking cramped and dark. To avoid this, make sure you don’t crowd your countertops with décor – clean surfaces are essential for small kitchens. Stick with decorations you just can’t live without. Also, adding lighter colored linens will help brighten up a small kitchen.
· With a larger kitchen, consider going all the way with your coffee theme by adding a bistro table and chairs in the nook. This will really add a sidewalk café feel to your kitchen.
· For seasonal changes, simply update your linens. Use cool colors in the summer and warm in the winter. Remember, even though the coffee theme contains a lot of warm colors, it is often accented with a cool color like blue. Tan and white are great colors for year-round.
· Because Art Deco is comprised of modernism and simplicity, your coffee theme should be simple as well! Avoid bombarding your walls with coffee prints; add a few simple pieces here and there as accents. If you choose to add a jumbo large wall print, make it your focal point and avoid adding too many other pictures.
Even though we may think of hyperactivity when we hear the word coffee, a coffee theme is actually meant to be a relaxing and soothing theme that stimulates the mind and body. Enjoy a cappuccino on a relaxing afternoon in your own private bistro and embrace the art and romance of the early 20th century!
