The coffee shop

The little coffee shop in New York depicts a small café with a striped awning and a terrace facing the street. Round tables and light-coloured chairs stand in front of the large windows. Plants and greenery frame the warm reddish-brown façade. Sunlight falls in scattered patches onto the pavement and the street, where cool blue and purple shadows alternate with warm yellows and oranges.

The composition has a lively, picturesque feel. The awning forms a clear horizontal accent above the windows, whilst the window frames and a slender lamppost provide vertical lines. The sloping street edge adds depth and leads past the terrace. Small splashes of colour suggest leaves, planters and reflections in the glass. The recognisable café remains the focal point, even where details are rendered in a free and impressionistic style.

This colourful café wall decoration is suitable for a living room, dining room, kitchen or coffee corner. The warm façade colours blend with wood and terracotta; blue and green provide cooler accents. A neutral wall allows the sunny atmosphere to really come to the fore. From a distance, you can recognise the terrace and the striped awning. Up close, the slender chair legs, plants and scattered patches of light on the paving catch the eye.
