Large Space Tips
Large spaces can fully embrace neo-traditional drama with bold furniture groupings, dramatic lighting, and theatrical accessories. The scale allows traditional grandeur. In a larger home cafe: Large home cafés can become full breakfast rooms with banquette seating, bistro tables, and comprehensive beverage stations rivaling commercial cafés.

Focus drama on one element: a bold wallpaper accent wall, statement lighting fixture, or lacquered thrift-store find. Neo-traditional impact comes from boldness, not necessarily expense.
Luxury Approach
