Decor

It is recommended to decorate interior doors in light shades of wood or replace them with an arched opening. Light, natural fabrics with a rough texture are used in textiles. Burlap, cotton and iridescent silk will look impressive, adding depth to any shade. The walls are decorated with collages of paintings depicting cups with hot drinks, sweets or coffee beans. Open shelves provide storage space for decorative items: bottles, vases, figurines. A stylish addition would be to place a set of coffee cups on a stand in a place of honor. If you want to draw a parallel with the barista’s place of work, then hang a chalkboard on the accent wall and update the “family” menu on it daily. Also, the resemblance to a coffee shop will be added by the “highlight of the program” - a stylish coffee maker. The “confectionery” theme is embodied on the apron: it is decorated with thematic drawings (falling coffee beans, a sketch of a cup with “steam” above it from a hot drink). Indoor plants are welcome in the cappuccino interior, as greenery will add freshness to the atmosphere. One or two floor pots or a vase with fresh flowers on the table will be enough.

For the countertop in the work area, choose a thickness of approximately 10 cm. Stone is considered the highest quality material for manufacturing. It is natural, durable and environmentally friendly. Stone countertops come in different shapes, without boundaries or joints. They are usually a shade lighter than the facades, and can also be imitation marble.
Marble countertop

Tree. This is a natural, moisture-resistant and durable material that does not lose its original appearance for 30-40 years. Typically, ash, oak, pine, and cherry are used for production. The big advantage is that solid wood can be restored several times;
MDF. The characteristics of the slab are almost as good as wood, but have a shorter service life. This is an environmentally friendly material that does not emit harmful substances. It is easy to care for as it does not attract dust and dirt. MDF costs less than wood and offers a large selection of matte and glossy options;
Chipboard. The service life of the plate is 5-10 years. To increase resistance to moisture, surface lamination is used. For furniture made from chipboard, you must ask for a quality certificate, since many types of chipboard, when used, emit hazardous substances to humans.
Headset location
The choice of shape depends on the size and layout of the kitchen. There are several popular forms of facade arrangement:
Linear. Used in kitchens with an area of 6-10 sq.m. The refrigerator, stove and sink are located along one wall. The dining area is located opposite and is represented by a bar counter or folding tabletop;
L-shaped or angular. The most common method of arrangement, as it creates a comfortable, ergonomic working triangle. Storage systems are installed in the corners. Often in a square kitchen a bar counter is installed as an extension of the countertop;
Island and peninsular. For such an arrangement you need an area of at least 18 square meters. m. The center of the kitchen is occupied by an island or peninsula, which serves as a working and dining area. Often a hob or sink is built into it, and many sections for storage are also made. Typically the dimensions of the island are 150*180 cm;
U-shaped. The arrangement of cabinets occupies three walls and uses almost the entire area;
Parallel kitchen layout. Facades and household appliances are installed on two opposite walls.
Selecting cappuccino-colored kitchen lighting
Modern kitchens make cappuccinos with a glossy effect (see photo below) to make them stand out. In this case, it will be correct to distribute the main or additional light, taking into account this nuance.

A spacious kitchen will need additional lighting above the cabinets and high-quality lighting for work surfaces
Furniture and kitchen set
When developing an interior design, it is not necessary to focus on installing the headset exactly in the color of the main furniture. It is important to maintain a uniform style, but colors may differ, both in tone and contrast. These are acceptable points, since here functionality goes hand in hand with style.
A set of kitchen furniture does not have to be monochromatic; a cappuccino shade can be present either in the lower or upper tier, harmoniously echoing other rich tones
