How do i design my room to feel like a cafe/lodge?
You just can't replicate the ambiance of a French Cafe. The smell of croissants, cheese, and coffee all blend into quaint furnishings and understated art on the walls. At the very least, you can try to bring a bit of France into your home with a Cafe Kitchen.
Keep you paint tones neutral/dark. Don't go for bright colors, any cafe colors are muted and soothing.
Add some plants. Any sort of climbing plant will do, or tiny flowering plants. Cafes always have pretty plants in beautiful vases.
Your table and chairs should be black wrought iron. Generally called Bistro tables, they seat 2 to 4. Add a candle to the center of the table for a cafe look.
Create a home organization center by adding a chalkboard and a bulletin board to your walls. Put up photos of places you'd like to visit or have been to. Add a nightly 'menu' for your family to see when they enter the room.
Your wall art should consist of pictures of food, wine, or scenic cafes. Home stores usually carry wood-backed photos of Parisian cafes or grapes/fruit plates.
Add a beautiful area rug to your floor or little smaller area rugs in key areas. A rug that is striped would look great in front of a door. Add a large rug under your table in a similar pattern or style.
Your kitchen cafe will get extra style points if it is full of the heavenly scents of baking. Have fun!
