Modern Cafe/Shop Design with Burgundy Accents

PROJECT BRIEF – OFF SCRIPT Hi! I would like to share more details about my project to give you a better understanding of the concept and the direction I’m looking for. About the Brand OFF SCRIPT is a contemporary dessert and matcha concept specialising in chocolate-covered strawberries, matcha drinks and other little indulgences. Our tagline is: “Good things happen off script.” The concept is built around doing things differently — creating a brand that feels unexpected, playful, creative and memorable, rather than following the traditional dessert café aesthetic. The Interior Design Vision I’m looking for an interior that reflects the brand’s personality: modern, editorial, sophisticated, and slightly unconventional. I want the space to feel premium but approachable, with a distinctive identity that appeals to both male and female customers. I don’t want it to look overly feminine or like a typical pink dessert shop. The design should be visually interesting and recognisable, while maintaining a clean and timeless aesthetic. Brand Identity & Colour Palette I already have an approved brand identity and mood board that I will share with you as the main visual reference. The identity includes: * Burgundy as a strong signature colour. * Cream and taupe as the neutral foundation. * Matcha olive green as an accent. * Deep cocoa and chocolate tones. * An elegant editorial serif font. * A minimal bow symbol as the brand’s signature graphic. I would like the interior to incorporate these elements naturally without making the space feel too colourful or overwhelming. What I Want to Achieve * A strong and recognisable storefront that attracts attention. * A beautiful and functional service counter. * An attractive presentation area for chocolate-covered strawberries. * A dedicated, practical preparation area for matcha drinks. * Thoughtful lighting that enhances the products and overall atmosphere. * Creative use of materials, textures and finishes. * Smart storage and space optimisation. * A cohesive design that connects the interior with our packaging and branding. Important Considerations The shop is relatively compact, so functionality and space planning are extremely important. I want every area to have a purpose without compromising the overall aesthetic. I’m looking for someone who can think creatively, suggest unconventional ideas and take the concept beyond a standard café design. I don’t want to simply decorate a shop. I want to create an experience and a space that customers remember, photograph and associate with OFF SCRIPT. Deliverables I’m Looking For * Concept development and mood board. * Space planning and furniture layout. * 3D visualisations and realistic renders. * Material and colour selections. * Lighting design. * Joinery and counter design. * Technical drawings suitable for execution. * Material and furniture specifications. I’m open to your creative suggestions, but it’s important that the final design stays true to the brand identity and the mood board I will provide. I’m looking forward to seeing how you can translate this concept into a unique physical space.
