How to Create an English Tea Room
- Find a suitable location for the English tea room. If the tea room will be in your home, a bright cozy location with lots of windows. If this is to be a commercial tea room, find a lease spot that is convenient for your clients.
- There are two types of tea rooms you can design. Cozy tea rooms are wonderful with lots of lace and pastel colors. Formal tea rooms are filled with antique furnishings and fine linens. Determine the type of tea room you desire.
- Choose the china and flatware that compliments the type of tea room you are creating. Cozy tea rooms have an eclectic approach to their china and flatware, mixing styles and patterns. Formal tea rooms have matching, high end flatware and china.
- Decorate the tea room with open or glass-front cabinets displaying the china and teapots.
- Hang cafe curtains for a cozy look or brocade for a more formal feel.
