A cafe or French bistro is an ideal theme for kitchen decoration. The table is an important feature in many kitchens and can act as the focal point for a cafe-styled kitchen decor. The key to a cafe-styled kitchen table design is to make it aesthetically appealing while keeping in mind its functional role in the kitchen. Using simple design elements, you can turn your kitchen table into a cozy little cafe every time you serve a meal. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Place a tablecloth on your table. Go retro with a red and white checkered tablecloth or use a tablecloth in earthier tones, such as brown, green or tan. A tablecloth with food elements on it will work as well. The tablecloth goes a long way toward giving your kitchen table the right personality for a cafe and will make it a focal point.
2. Place a napkin holder in the center of your table. A rustic wrought iron napkin holder in black or something made from carved wood help set the mood. Fill it with napkins to match your tablecloth. Place a tapered candle on each side of the napkin holder, or opt for decorative salt and pepper shakers.
3. Arrange place mats around the table. Food-themed place mats and folded cloth napkins add the personality of a more upscale cafe. Use cloth napkins that match the color of your tablecloth.
4. Type a menu that includes some of your family's favorite meals and place it in protective plastic sleeves. Place the menu in a decorative menu holder and set it in the center of your table.
