Think over the interior a cafe. This format assumes eclecticism - you canboldly mix styles and not adhere to strict canons. Determine the optimal number of seats for your premises and choose convenient, but fairly compact furniture.

Posters, posters, decorative lamps, all kinds of small artifacts - the more a cafe lovely and unusual trifles, the better. These things should not be too expensive - unfortunately, the theft in a cafe and restaurants - a very common phenomenon.
