The Kitchen Bistro: An Inspiring Home Design Idea
The kitchen Bistro is a classic looking home design idea, that we believe can help make our interior design more enjoyable. In today’s world, our busy schedules require us to put in more effort when it comes to getting together with our loved ones. Those evening dinners that once were a familiar occurrence, are now becoming a rare commodity. How can these moments where we sit down together and savour a new-found recipe become more frequent? This kitchen is more than a simple interior decor resolution, it’s the backdrop to those junctures where you cross paths with your spouse on a spring morning before that 9am meeting. Those small, but charming occasions that add a breath of fresh air to our day.
The Bistro Kitchen is relaxed and elegant. It’s a place where you can engage with your family members over some tapas or a frothy espresso. In the space, there is a small table that fits two people comfortably, and four snugly. Classic white subway or herringbone tiles dress the backsplash and walls of the kitchen; making the space casual and light. There are no upper cabinets within the interior design scheme of this kitchen. Rather, open shelving is anchored to the wall with iron brackets. On the shelving is beautiful glassware and white dishware that pose as “art” to “viewers.” Industrial light pendants and sconces hang from the ceiling and walls, a characteristic typical of the French bistro. Metals are layered in the decor, you can find gold, copper or iron on the hardware and fixtures. The floor is covered in a jacket of patterned, Morrocan-style tiles, which warmly invite you into the space. The tiles skillfully offset the other industrial characteristics of the space. As for storage, lower cabinets, a butler’s pantry and kitchen island all provide room for those well-needed kitchen gadgets. These cabinets are often designed to showcase their veiled dark paint tones and shaker-style doors.
The bistro kitchen turns the typical kitchen into a miniature art gallery. It’s a place where you can prepare your own meal, but feel as though you are on a date with your spouse in a small Parisian public house tucked away in an off-beaten path.

This kitchen’s interior decor consists of wood lower cabinetry with a rich patina. The distressed cabinetry adds weight to the design of the space while the upper portion of the room remains sans cabinetry, allowing it to be open and light.
