Hello! I am Hong Hee-ji, a designer at Goodterior :)

This 32 pyeong cafe interior creates the refined, classic atmosphere the client wanted around a black-and-white monochrome palette. Black & white checkerboard floor tiles emphasize European character and add visual rhythm.

Various framed pictures line the walls, evoking a small gallery and strengthening the classic mood.

The owner requested comfortable seating for solo visitors and a consistent concept. We placed a bar table behind the counter and used European-style doors for staff areas.

Checkerboard tiles accent the floor, framed pictures give the walls a gallery feel, and a window-shaped mirror makes the space feel more generous.

Let us take a closer look.

Floor plan

A central circular bar makes seating easy to reach. Bar seats and table zones connect directly to the entrance, while the staff lounge and storage at the upper left keep operational routes separate.

Entrance and facade

  • A black-painted European-style door and white molding immediately express the concept on arrival.

  • A window-shaped mirror opposite the entrance creates openness and an overall view of the seating.

Counter and round bar table

  • A circular counter at the center handles ordering and collection in one place, wrapping around a column to shorten circulation.

  • Stools around the outer bar provide comfortable seating for solo visitors. The 3000mm ceiling accommodates pendant lights and a ceiling circulator for atmosphere and ventilation.

Seating zones

  • Continuous sofa booths, vintage wall lights, and framed pictures make the right wall cozy, with black-and-white checkerboard tiles throughout.

  • A mix of 2-person and 4-person tables lines the upper wall, while a long window-side bar provides a place to open study materials and concentrate alone.

Preparation and back of house

  • A straight worktop and washing area behind the counter simplify preparation and service. Surfaces visible from the seating area use white tiles and black tops for a clean finish.

  • Matching paneled doors resembling European home entrances conceal the rear staff lounge and storage, maintaining the concept.

Let us look at the overall design concept.

Notes

This 32 pyeong cafe interior expresses the client's preferred black-and-white palette and European character through checkerboard floor tiles and gallery-style pictures for a classic finish.

A long bar table behind the counter welcomes solo visitors, with 2-person and 4-person tables and sofa seating offering comfortable choices.

Vintage wall lights and pendants provide the warmth the client requested, while a ceiling circulator keeps air moving for comfortable longer visits.

A window-shaped mirror broadens views, and matching European-style doors to staff areas and storage extend the concept throughout.
