Who doesn’t enjoy the cozy vibe of their favorite coffee shop or café? Why not to bring this charm and chic to our homes? It’s not that difficult to create a nook with a similar vibe in your home, and here are the steps for that.
Choose A Spot
The best place will be a little nook by the window, so you will get a lot of light, just imagine having your first cup of coffee in the soothing and serene morning sun. Besides, you will probably have a view, too. An empty wall or some alcove can be another great spot for a bistro-style space in your home: an alcove makes you will cozy as if you hide from the rest of the world, while an empty wall can show off your gallery wall or other decor. Still, keep your spot close to the kitchen where you will make coffee and breakfast.

Select Furniture
A bistro means a small round table, and that’s exactly what you need. Such a table won’t take much space and will perfectly recreate the vibe. Bistro chairs are the chairs you need here, they have a ton of advantages. Besides being stylish, they are usually lightweight and stackable. Of course, you can try some other chairs, too, for example, regent chairs or retro café chairs, just match the bistro style. A banquette seating will be also a nice idea, especially if you want a bigger spot or even a dining space.
