Restaurant & Cafe Interiors That Tell Your Brand Story
I design hospitality spaces that are destinations, not just places to eat. From wild themed cafes to serene minimalist bars, I focus on the atmosphere that makes your customers want to stay.

The storefront and counter of The Prezzed Juicery. The design uses a mix of wood slats, pastel green, and a bold black frame to create a fresh, modern, and inviting look.
A key feature of the juicery's exterior is this large planter wall made of wooden slats and boxes. It adds a natural, biophilic element that reinforces the brand's focus on fresh ingredients.

About this collection
When I design a cafe, the pretty part is only half the work. I spend the rest of my time solving for things your customers won't notice but you definitely will: where to hide the noisy kitchen exhaust, how to make the flooring withstand constant coffee spills, and how to zone the space so your staff can move quickly during the rush. If you are looking for a setup that looks great on Instagram but actually functions on a Tuesday afternoon, we should talk.
Building Spaces That Actually Work
Designing a hospitality space is a balancing act between aesthetics and durability. When I take on a cafe or restaurant project, I start with a blank slate. Whether it is a quick-service juicery in Koramangala or a sit-down Japanese restaurant, my goal is to ensure the design supports your operations, not hinders them.
The Practical Side of Hospitality
- Heavy-Duty Finishes: In a busy cafe, standard materials won't last. I prioritize high-traffic resistant options like terrazzo, patterned cement tiles, or anti-skid vitrified planks. These keep your floor looking fresh even after thousands of footsteps.
- Concealed Utilities: Nothing ruins a vibe faster than exposed ductwork or messy AC lines. I integrate aesthetic concealment for exhaust pipes and kitchen pass-throughs directly into the interior theme.
- Thematic Consistency: Whether it is tropical biophilic elements, industrial brickwork, or minimalist wood slatting, the theme is woven into everything—from the wall murals and lighting to the service counters.
My Design Process
I believe in listening more than talking. We start by discussing your target demographic and the type of dining experience you want to offer. From there, I develop the concept, select durable, commercial-grade materials, and manage the execution. My focus is on creating a space that feels right for your specific customers, using features like writable glass, acoustic baffles, and smart lighting to bring the brand to life.
If you have a site in Bengaluru or Mysuru and are ready to move from a concept to a real, functioning space, let's look at the floor plan and figure out what fits.
Tangram
I’m Shraddha, and running Tangram is basically living in a storm of site visits and design decisions. I don't believe in templates or cookie-cutter cafes; I prefer to dive into your brand's vibe and build something that feels like home to your customers. If you’re ready to build a space that actually works, let’s chat about your plan.
