Hierarchy

Pt 4 : Truth Or Dare

Y/n POV

Somehow, I found myself getting closer and closer to ryujin. Something that even shocked me. I was a nobody, I was a scholar, And even though ryujin was one of those privileged students, She didn't care to be friends with me. Day by day, My usual boring life was starting to shift. Ryujin alongside her friends would always ask me to go out together. Either eating at one of those luxurious cafes, Hanging out at the Large library, and even staying out at one of those PC bangs until late at night.

And without me realizing, I was getting closer and closer to some of the most privileged students here at jooshin high. One day, At the classroom. Ms. Han was teaching us about the ways people could play other people just by using their brain. The whole class was sternly listening to every word that comes out from Ms. Han's mouth. She explains that, One of human's biggest weaknesses is their ego. And we, as a student of Jooshin High, Must learn how to use that weakness, So that we can achieve whatever we want.

"This is how you'll earn your place at the highest level. This is how we can reach the hierarchy". Ms Han exclaimed.

As the materials were done. Ms sohee said her goodbyes, Before me and the rest of the class. We could finally take our lunch and have some time to relax. Ryujin immediately took a seat close to me, Alongside some of her friends such as Jimin, Minjeong, Yeji, and Chaewon. As they kept gossiping about the recent news and popular K-pop groups. Yeji murmured something out, Which was about the upcoming Birthday party of the Top students at Jooshin high, Which was none other than Park So-hyun.

I was hesitant at first, A large event such as this was a very new experience for me. I mean, I don't know what I should do, What I should bring, Or what I even need to go for. However, Ryujin kept begging me. As she playfully teases me, Making me blush like crazy. As I tried my best to reject her offer, Ryujin and her friends kept teasing me, And in the end, I found myself accepting their offer.

Small Timeskip

As D-Day is coming up. I was nervous as ever, I wasn't sure if my clothes were that proper. I mean, I don't even know what the dress code for this party was. All ryujin said was to wear something nice. How the fuck should I know, What's nice for them and what's not nice for them. Haishhh... It's frustrating asf. But nonetheless, I tried to wear something proper. So I decided to wear a casual piece of suit. With a nice white cotton shirt.

As I looked at myself in the mirror, I could only think about what sort of crazy thing would happen today. After getting done with myself, I waited for my transportation. Which was provided by ryujin. I don't know why, But this privileged student didn't really bother to buy or rent their friends some expensive lifestyle. I mean, She rented me a fucking limousine. Just for myself. Like what in the actual fuck. I'm all alone. Why the fuck would you rent me a fucking limousine? Nonetheless, I immediately got inside the limousine, before the driver drove me to the designated spot.

I could look outside my window, The huge palace that was none other than So-hyun's home. The place was huge, Filled with many abstract statues, and trees. The anticipation was palpable as I approached the grand mansion, its facade bathed in a soft, golden glow. Ryujin had been raving about the party So-hyun's was throwing, promising a night of endless fun and extravagance.

As I stepped inside the mansion, I was greeted by a breathtaking sight. The interior was adorned with lavish decorations, each room a masterpiece of opulence. It was clear that So-hyun, the queen bee of Jooshin High, had spared no expense.

Ryujin, beaming with pride, welcomed me and introduced me to her friends. I was surprised to see Wonyoung again, the girl I had met at her family's home, where I had played the piano for them. I hadn't seen her since that day, and I couldn't help but feel a strange mix of excitement and apprehension.

As the night wore on, the party reached a fever pitch. Music blared, laughter filled the air, and people danced with abandon. Ryujin and her friends urged me to join them, offering me shots and a small dose of drugs. I had never done any of these things before, and I was hesitant to try them. But with their encouragement, I reluctantly agreed.

As I took the shot, a wave of warmth washed over me. I felt a sense of euphoria, a carefree abandon that I had never experienced before. The drugs seemed to amplify my senses, making everything feel more intense, more alive.

Wonyoung, meanwhile, had retreated to a secluded area with So-hyun. I watched them from a distance, their faces etched with a mixture of guilt and longing. I knew they were struggling with something, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was.

As the night progressed, I became increasingly tipsy. Ryujin and her friends decided to play Truth or Dare with me, their laughter echoing through the room. I was game for anything, my inhibitions loosened by the alcohol.

When it was my turn, Ryujin dared me to "kiss the person who you think is the hottest and prettiest in this party." I hesitated for a moment, my mind racing. I knew that Ryujin was hoping I would choose her, but my heart was elsewhere.

I walked slowly through the crowd, my eyes scanning the faces around me. Then, I saw her. Wonyoung was sitting alone in a corner, her eyes filled with sadness. Without hesitation, I walked over to her and kissed her.

The room fell silent. Everyone stared at us, their eyes wide with shock. So-hyun's face was a mask of confusion, while Ryujin's expression was one of betrayal.

I pulled away from Wonyoung, my head spinning. I realized what I had done, and I felt a wave of guilt wash over me. I had betrayed Ryujin, and I had humiliated myself in front of everyone.

Wonyoung looked at me, her eyes filled with a mix of anger and hurt. "H-how could you?" she said, her voice barely a whisper.

I tried to explain, to tell her that I didn't mean it. But the words wouldn't come. I was too ashamed, too embarrassed.

As I turned to leave, I felt a hand on my shoulder. It Was Wonyoung. "Wait," she said. "We need to talk."

I followed her to a secluded part of the mansion. We sat down on a couch, facing each other.

"What The Fuck were you thinking," Wonyoung said. "Why The Hell would you kiss me in front of everyone"??

"I-i'm S-sorry" I answered with guilt on my shoulders.

Wonyoung took a deep breath. "What Would Happen if Everyone started to Shipped You & I together." Her voice stern and full of anger.

My heart shnked like the Titanic. I couldn't believe it. I was so stupid and drunk, That I kissed one of the most powerful students in Jooshin High. What would happen to me now.

"Now what are we gonna do?" Wonyoung asked,her voice trembling.

"I-i Don't know.. I-i'm sorry",I answer. "I was drunk as hell wonyoung... I-I didn't mean to".

"But why me?" She asked. "Why do you kiss me and not anybody else"??

"I-i Don't know," Y/n said. "I'm sorry. I was just so... lost. I didn't know what come over me"

As wonyoung and I came back from the secluded area, the air and atmosphere gets more and more intense. People were staring at us. I can only hope that luck was by my side. I hoped that nothing bad would ever happen to me. I just wished that all of those eyes stopped staring at me. As I thought I was gonna be suffocated by the amount of pressure. Someone started to walk in our direction. The sound of the elegant high heel shoes was all that I could hear.

That is until, That person approaches me, before kissing me. I was shocked, I was flabbergasted. Because that person is none other than, So-hyun. The whole crowd immediately stopped partying, As they were shocked at the sudden move. All of the students immediately let out their phone, Before they took pictures and video of me and her. What is going on. What game am I currently being played at. What's gonna happen to me.

[Translation] Sonatina of the Perverse and Intoxicating Service Episode 01

One evening, Shylock's bar is bustling with wizards enjoying the pre-dinner cafe time.

Akira: Huh? This bar wasn't originally in the Magic Manor?

Murr: Nope! Shylock made it by himself!

Mitile & Riquet: Without permission...?

Shylock: It might sound a little bad, but, well, yes. As I travel here from afar each year to perform my duty, I simply desired a place where I could truly relax.

Chloe: I see... Previously, the Magic Manor wasn't as lively as it is now, right? It was quiet, just a simple lodging facility for the Sage’s wizards.

Rustica: Making a place where you can enjoy yourself in a place with little entertainment is just like Shylock.

Akira: But, the Magic Manor is managed by the Central Country, right? Is it okay to change it without permission...?

Mitile: Mr. Drummond might be okay with it, but if Mr. Vincent finds out, won't he get angry?

Murr: We’ve already messed with the interior of our own rooms with magic, so what's the big deal?

Young wizards: You’re right…

Akira: (Everyone is so care-free...)

Shylock: This bar was originally made by me for myself. I didn't really intend to run a business and serve anyone else...

Shylock silently places the glass he has finished wiping on the counter. He raises his long eyelashes and narrows his eyes towards us.

Shylock: But, since you came here and everyone started living in the Magic Manor, it has became unbelievably lively. Now, making alcohol here every day and chatting with someone is one of my daily pleasures. This place has a different feel from Bennett Bar, so I like it.

Akira: Shylock... I'm glad that you think so. I was happy that we could all be together, though there were some people who weren't very enthusiastic... Now, as a place for interaction, this bar is an indispensable existence, I think. Anyway, it's good to have a comfortable place to sit in!

Chloe: I know! Besides, it's luxurious to have a bar in the building where you live. I keep stopping by.

Mitile: Yes! When I pass by the hallway, I always wonder, “Is it open?” and peek into the bar, it's exciting... Even we who can't drink alcohol, Mr. Shylock welcomes us.

Riquet: When I sit at the counter and drink a pretty and delicious drink, I feel like an adult.

Shylock: Everyone is saying such nice things. It's because you are good customers.

Murr: Shylock, you're in a good mood!

Shylock: It's a satisfaction that only a bartender can experience to have you like the space I created, want to be here, and want to stop by. The counter, the shelves, the chairs, the decorations, I chose and brought them in one by one... Ah, please look. This vase is a newcomer that I just brought in the other day.

While holding down the scarf hanging on his arm, Shylock points to one side of the counter. What is there is a vase with a single flower inside.

Akira: It's a stylish design! Simple but has a unique feel… I wonder if it's the only one exists.

Rustica: The flower is also beautiful. It's elegant and graceful. It suits this bar perfectly.

Shylock: Hehe. I'm glad that you like it too.

When he, who always listens to our stories, occasionally takes the initiative to tell us about what he likes, I feel a little flutter in my heart. It's probably because I think it would be wonderful if I could also come to like the things he cherishes and insists on, and share them with him.

Just then, as if shattering the peaceful mood, the bar wall is blown away. Along with a dramatic crash, Owen, Mithra, and Bradley come crashing in, all tangled together.

Chloe, Mitile, Riquet: !?

Akira: Eeh!?

Rustica: Why, hello there, you three. You didn't come through the hall, but directly from outside?

Shylock: A big hole in the wall... It's a nice day for a breeze, but this is a bit too much ventilation.

Murr: Oz is here too! Yay!

Oz: ................

We can see Oz floating in the sunset-colored sky, without a broom.

In the center of the bar, the three Northern wizards are piled up like a totem pole.

Owen: Tsk.......

Mithra: Don’t “tsk” me. Thanks to the magic circle you brought up, I'm the one who got blown away by Oz.

Owen: Don't blame me. You're the one who drew the circle wrong.

Bradley: Haah..….I’m done here! Ruckus in bar ain’t my style. Sun's goin' down, I'm outta here.

Owen: Damn it......Don't suddenly turn your back on me.

Shylock: Owen...... Perhaps you should stop there? You're out of breath.

Owen: Shut up. <Cur Memini>!

As Owen sharply chants the spell, the bar instantly becomes a battlefield.

Ice blades filled with killing intent crisscross, and lightning that resembles growling echoes.

Mithra: <Arthim>

Rustica: <Amorest Viesse>

Chloe, Mitile: Wah!?

Mithra immediately pulls Mitile away, and Rustica pulls Chloe to him.

Around me and Riquet, a light, shining, transparent barrier appears.

Riquet: Oz's magical energy... It's Oz's barrier!

Oz: <Vox Nox>

Owen: ......Ugh.

The blown-away Owen strongly collides his back against the bar counter.

On May 18th 1939 the Cosmo cinema in Rose Street, Glasgow opened its doors for the first time.

The Cosmo cinema was the first purpose-built ‘art-house’ cinema to open outside of London. Designed as the flagship for the Singleton chain (which also included the Mecca, Riddrie and Kingsway cinemas in Glasgow), this 850-seater was prolific cinema architect James McKissack’s final design before his death.

The foyer was originally double-height, with twin staircases leading to the balcony. Payboxes were situated to both the left and right, between the two sets of entrance doors. A small kiosk was situated at the back of the foyer, which was panelled in walnut. A large globe, set above the main rear stalls entrance, reinforced the international nature of the films being shown. A large cloakroom and luxurious ladies powder room were also provided.The cinema was advertised under the slogan 'Entertainment for the Discriminating’, with the cartoon character of the bowler-hatted Mr Cosmo, a familiar sight in newpaper advertisments of the time.

In 1968, the foyer was dramatically altered to become single height, and a new bar was incorporated over it, in a style that matched the restt of the interior decoration very well. Part of one of the twin staircases was also removed at this point.

In 1973, the Cosmo was bought by the Scottish Film Council, who undertook major structural alterations. The auditorium was split, to form a large single screen upstairs, with the balcony extended fully forward and a new proscenium constructed.

Much of the original decoration was retained, including the central light feature nicknamed Mr Cosmo’s bowler hat. Renamed the Glasgow Film Theatre - or as it’s better known - the GFT - the building reopened to the public in May 1974. At this time, the stalls space was used as an conference and exhibition area. In 1986 the GFT became independent of the SFC, and in 1988, the building was B Listed by Historic Scotland.

In 1988, part of the original stalls space was converted into a second screen, and the rest into a cafe-bar, which in a nod to the cinemas past was named Cafe Cosmo.

Despite strong competition from the nearby UGC / Cineworld , the GFT is thriving, and is without doubt the most pleasant place in Glasgow to go see a film on the big screen. I must admit to only having visited once, but was impressed by it’s ambience and the feel of the place.

The GFT may not be of a great age but it is now the oldest active cinema in the city.

「 酔惚の奉仕と倒錯のソナチネ 」

Sonatina of Drunken Service and Perversion

a translation because i found the preview way too funny + SANBAKA MENTIONED WAAAHH, i used sage instead of Akira because im way too used to reading it that way, sorry ;;

Owen who destroyed the bar, has been banned from entering by Shylock. Instead of an apology, how about I invite you to run a quirky and perverse cafe bar?

— Chapter 1

One evening, Shylock's bar was bustling with wizards savouring some coffee before dinner.

Sage: Eh? Isn’t this bar originally located in the Magic House?

Murr: Wrong! Shylock made it for his own convenience!

Mitile & Riquet: His own convenience…?

Shylock: It may sound a little harsh at first, but it’s true. 

Shylock: It’s a place I come all the way to each year to provide my services. To relax. I wanted a place where I could feel comfortable. 

Chloe: I see…… The previous magic manor wasn’t as lively as it is now. It was quiet, nothing more than a lodging facility.

Rustica: It’s typical of Shylock to create a place where he can enjoy himself in a place with little entertainment.

Sage: But isn’t the magic manor a facility managed by the Central Country? I wonder if it’s alright to modify it without permission…

Mitile: Mr. Drummond…… might be fine with it. If Mr. Vincent found out, will he be angry?

Murr: Personal rooms, interior decorations as well, we also use magic to change it to our liking. Isn’t it similar to that?

Young wizard: Perhaps?

Sage: (Everyone has freedom……) // INSERT AMERICA SFX RAHHHH

Shylock: Way before, this bar was originally created by me, and for my own sake.

Shylock: I didn’t really have the intention of selling it to anyone, but…

Shylock places the polished glass on the counter without making a sound. His long eyelashes lifted, eyes narrowed as he turned towards me.

Shylock: Ever since you came, and everyone started living inside the magic manor, it has become so lively that it’s unbelievable.

Shylock: Now, I serve alcohol here everyday, it’s one of the things I always look forward to chatting with others each day.

Shylock: This place compared to Bennett’s Tavern has a different flavour, and that’s why it has become my favourite.

Sage: Shylock…… the way you think of this place, it makes me happy too.

Sage: I am happy to be able to live with everyone, but there were some people who weren’t positive about it……

Sage: Now it’s not just a place for socialising, this bar has become an indispensable presence too! No matter what I say, this place is very comfortable!

Chloe: I get you-! Moreover, it’s a luxury to have a bar in the same building you live in. You’ll always want to stop by.

Mitile: Yes! When passing by the hallway, I will wonder “is it open?” It’s exciting to peek into the bar……

Mitile: Even those of us who aren’t allowed alcohol, Shylock will welcome you.

Riquet: When I sit at the counter and delight a beautiful, delicious drink, it feels like you’ve joined the adult community. 

Shylock: It makes me happy to hear those words.

Murr: Shylock, you’re in a good mood!

Shylock: A space I created and love, wanting to be here, having people who’d want to stop by, I truly am blessed as a bar owner.

Shylock: The counter, shelves and chairs too, even the decors, one by one, I personally chose, then bought.

Shylock: Ah, look. This vase over here, it’s a new vase I purchased the other day.

While holding down the scarf hanging from his arm, Shylock pointed to a corner of the counter.

What stood there was a vase displayed with a single flower.

Sage: Isn’t that a stylish design! Although it’s simple, it feels like no other…… must be one-of-a-kind.

Rustica: The flowers arranged are also beautiful. Classy, pretty, certainly a perfect fit for this bar.

The one who is always listening to our stories, every now and then would chip in favourite stories of his own, whenever that happens, my heart flutters, just for a little.

I want to know what he likes, what he is particular about, and if I could like it too and share it with him.

At that moment, as if to break the calm mood, the walls of the bar exploded.

With a flashy sound of destruction, Owen, Mithra, Bradley flew within the explosive like a dumping. // !?!?!?! IM SORRY SANBAKA BALLED UP IS ADORABLE

Chloe, Mitile & Riquet: !?

Sage: Eh!?

Rustica: Hey, you three. Did you enter directly from outside without using the hall?

Shylock: There’s a big hole in the wall…… It’s a warm day with a nice breeze, but it’s a bit too windy.

Murr: Oz is here too! Yahoo-!

Oz: ………

In the sky dyed at dusk, Oz can be seen floating without using a broom.

Owen: Tch…

Mithra: Do not ‘tch’ at me. Thanks to the magic circle you brought, I ended up blown away by Oz.

Owen: It isn’t my fault. It’s you who miswrote the spell of the magic circle.

Bradley: Ha…… god, that’s it!

Bradley: It’s unethical to be violent at a bar. The sun is setting anyway, so let’s call it a day.

Owen: Damn you…… suddenly turn to your hand's back. 

Context: 「 手のひら返す」 とは、それまでの態度や評価をがらりと変えることを意味する言葉です。"To turn one's hand around" means to completely change one's previous attitude or evaluation.

Shylock: Owen…… How about you stop here too? You’re out of breath.

Owen: Annoying. 「 クーレ・メミニ 」

Owen casts a sharp spell, the bar instantly becomes a battlefield.

Murderous ice blades fly in all directions, lightning that resembles a roar shines.

Mithra: 「 アルシム 」

Rustica: 「 アモレスト・ヴィエッセ 」

Chloe & Mitile: Wha!?

Immediately, Mithra and Rustica pulled Mitile and Chloe close to them.

A soft glowing, transparent curtain surrounds me and Riquet.

Riquet: A hint of Oz’s magic…… It’s Oz’s shield!

Oz: 「ヴぉクスノク」

Owen: …… a-

Owen was blown away, hitting his back against the bar’s counter.

Innovative Design Ideas to Elevate Your Restaurant

Owning a restaurant often brings a flood of questions to mind. What style should your restaurant, café, or bar have? How do you create interiors that are both attractive and functional? Can the infrastructure support your design aspirations? And, most importantly, how can you ensure profitability?

If these questions resonate with you, you’re not alone. Stepping into the realm of restaurant design reveals a world of possibilities and a newfound appreciation for well-thought-out spaces. To achieve the best results, consider partnering with interior designers specializing in restaurant interiors.

Meanwhile, here are some fresh ideas to make your restaurant stand out:

Design the external façade for maximum visibility

Incorporate a blend of covered and open ceilings

Seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor spaces

Use flooring to define zones

Turn walls into storytelling elements

Enhance ambience with lighting and greenery

Strategically position the order delivery counter for efficiency

Let’s delve into these ideas in detail to inspire your vision.

1. Make the External Façade Unmissable

Your restaurant’s exterior is more than just an entryway; it’s an invitation. A well-designed façade acts as an extension of your dining experience and a visual advertisement. To ensure maximum visibility, align the façade design with your interiors and signage.

Consider smart outdoor lighting to highlight architectural features, illuminate signage, and brighten any outdoor seating. Keep the front transparent to showcase the interiors, drawing customers in while enhancing the overall appeal.

2. Rethink Ceiling Design

Choosing between a false or raw ceiling? Why not go for a creative combination of both? False ceilings may feel outdated, while entirely raw ceilings are often overdone. A mix of covered and open ceilings can add a unique touch to your space.

Covered sections help conceal services and reduce air-conditioning costs, while open grids or rafters lend character and provide easy access to utilities. This hybrid approach transforms the ceiling into a design statement.

3. Blur the Line Between Interiors and Exteriors

Opening up the restaurant’s front can visually expand the space and create a relaxed, inviting ambience. Use sliding or revolving doors that can be fully opened during pleasant weather, merging the indoor and outdoor areas seamlessly.

For added functionality, extend the bar or service counter outdoors. Install air curtains at the transition points to maintain air-conditioning efficiency and prevent condensation issues.

4. Create Zones with Flooring

Flooring is often overlooked, but it plays a vital role in shaping your restaurant’s vibe. Beyond functionality, it can add a playful or elegant aesthetic.

Use different flooring materials or patterns to define various seating and serving zones. Highlight main aisles with borders or patterns, or use vinyl stickers for storytelling or directional signage. Ensure that the flooring remains practical and safe while elevating the design.

5. Let Walls Speak for Themselves

Walls can tell a story—literally. Use them to share your restaurant’s journey, celebrate food, or convey inspiring messages. Typography, murals, decals, and wall art are great tools to make your walls visually engaging.

Contrast colours, exposed textures, and minimalistic treatments can enhance the aesthetics while keeping the space uncluttered, leaving room for creative décor.

6. Enhance the Atmosphere with Lighting and Greenery

Lighting and greenery are powerful tools for setting the mood. Warm lighting paired with greenery instantly boosts the visual appeal and creates an inviting atmosphere. While creating Instagram-worthy spots, prioritize energy-efficient solutions.

Incorporate plants, flowers, or even vertical gardens. Living walls not only make a striking visual impact but also improve air quality, enhancing the overall dining experience.

7. Optimize the Order Delivery Counter

Whether you’re opening a coffee shop, a QSR, or a deli, the location of the delivery counter requires careful consideration. It should be easily accessible, with a clearly defined aisle for smooth customer flow.

A single-line queuing system ensures fairness and efficiency. Visibility is key—positioning the counter strategically can significantly boost sales. Thoughtful planning of this element contributes to operational success.

Conclusion

Designing a restaurant involves countless choices, but incorporating these elements can ensure your space is both unique and functional. From maximizing visibility to crafting a cohesive ambience, these ideas can elevate your restaurant's appeal. For the best results, enlist the expertise of interior designers who specialize in restaurant design to help bring your vision to life.

Thermal Curtains for Cafes: A Stylish Way to Keep Guests Warm Year-Round

When it comes to creating the perfect ambiance for your café, temperature and comfort play an essential role in ensuring that guests feel welcome year-round. One simple yet effective way to achieve this is by incorporating thermal curtains into your café’s décor. Not only do these curtains provide functional benefits, but they can also enhance your café’s aesthetic appeal, contributing to a cozy, inviting atmosphere. In this article, we’ll dive into the benefits of thermal curtains, how they can help maintain a comfortable space for your patrons, and why they’re the perfect addition to any café setting.

The Importance of Temperature Control in Cafes

Cafés are spaces where customers come to relax, meet friends, work, or enjoy a warm beverage. Whether you’re serving coffee in the middle of winter or iced drinks during a summer heatwave, ensuring that your customers are comfortable is key to creating a positive experience.

Temperature fluctuations in cafés can make or break the atmosphere. Too hot, and guests may feel uncomfortable and rushed to leave. Too cold, and they won’t want to linger. Whether you’re dealing with cold drafts from old windows or harsh sunlight, managing indoor temperature can significantly impact both guest satisfaction and your energy bill.

How Thermal Curtains Help

Thermal curtains work by regulating the temperature inside your café. These curtains have several benefits that make them an essential part of your décor and functionality strategy.

Insulation During Winter As the weather turns colder, winter drapes offer essential warmth by blocking cold air and preventing heat from escaping through windows. This keeps your café warmer without relying on constantly running the heater, which can become costly. By retaining indoor heat, thermal curtains help create a cozy environment where guests can escape the chill and stay longer.

Heat Protection in Summer On the flip side, heat blocking curtains work during the warmer months to prevent sunlight from directly streaming into your café. These curtains reflect sunlight, helping keep the space cool and reducing the load on air conditioning systems. With these curtains, your café remains a cool haven even in the hottest weather.

Energy Efficiency Both thermal curtains and insulated curtains contribute to reducing your energy consumption. By keeping the heat in during winter and the heat out during summer, these curtains improve energy efficiency, helping you cut down on heating and cooling costs.

Aesthetics and Functionality Combined

While thermal curtains are undeniably practical, they can also add to the style and charm of your café. Choosing the right fabric, texture, and design can make a significant difference in how the space feels.

Rich Fabrics for a Cozy Feel: Materials like velvet, wool, and heavy linen not only add to the insulation properties of the curtains but also bring a sense of luxury and warmth to the café. These fabrics are perfect for a café that aims for a more intimate, comfortable atmosphere.

Light-Reflective Fabrics for a Modern Look: For cafés with a minimalist or modern design, heat blocking curtains in light colors or reflective fabrics can keep the space bright while maintaining its coolness during the heat of summer.

Complementary to Interior Design: Curtains often serve as statement pieces in café design. By selecting curtains that complement your overall theme — be it rustic, vintage, or contemporary — you can enhance the visual appeal of the space while simultaneously providing temperature control.

Placement: Where to Install Thermal Curtains in Your Café

To maximize the benefits of thermal curtains, it’s important to strategically place them in areas where temperature control is needed most. Here are a few key spots to consider:

Windows with Exposure to Direct Sunlight: Install winter drapes or heat blocking curtains on windows that get direct sunlight during the day. This will prevent heat gain in the summer and block out cold drafts in winter, keeping the space comfortable.

Entry Points and Doors: Exterior doors often lead to significant heat loss or gain. Insulated curtains over entryways can act as an additional barrier, keeping the indoor temperature consistent.

Seating Areas Near Windows: Customers love window seats, but these areas are often subject to drafts or direct sunlight. Installing thermal living room curtains in these areas can create a more comfortable seating experience, especially in cold or hot weather.

Beyond Temperature Control: Other Benefits of Thermal Curtains in Cafes

In addition to temperature regulation, thermal curtains provide other advantages for café owners:

Noise Reduction Sound insulating curtains can also help reduce noise in a café, especially if your establishment is located in a busy urban area. By absorbing sound, these curtains create a quieter atmosphere, enhancing the overall experience for guests who want to relax, read, or work without distractions.

Privacy Cafés often have large windows that expose the interior to the public eye. Insulated curtains can offer much-needed privacy, especially in the evenings when the café transitions from a bright, open space to a more intimate, cozy environment.

Durability High-quality thermal curtains are durable and built to withstand regular use in a café. Whether it’s frequent opening and closing or exposure to sunlight, these curtains can last for years, making them a worthwhile investment.

Real-Life Example: How Thermal Curtains Transformed Café Atmosphere

Consider the example of Café Willow, a local coffee shop in a busy metropolitan area. The café had issues with fluctuating indoor temperatures and noise from the street. After installing insulated curtains over their large storefront windows, the difference was immediately noticeable:

Increased Customer Satisfaction: The café’s patrons no longer complained about feeling too hot or cold, even during extreme weather. Customers now enjoyed their drinks comfortably, regardless of the temperature outside.

Lower Heating and Cooling Bills: By reducing reliance on HVAC systems, the café owner was able to lower energy bills, keeping costs down and profits up.

Enhanced Ambiance: The elegant velvet curtains added an upscale, cozy feel to the space, complementing the café’s rustic design and attracting more guests who were seeking a relaxing environment.

Final Thoughts: The Perfect Addition to Any Café

Thermal curtains are more than just a functional piece in a café; they serve as an essential component of creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re trying to keep your guests warm in the winter or cool in the summer, heat blocking curtains and insulated curtains offer an elegant and practical solution. These curtains also contribute to reducing your energy costs, preserving your furniture, and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your café. By thoughtfully incorporating these versatile curtains into your space, you can create a year-round haven where patrons feel comfortable, relaxed, and eager to return.

Alright, I want your opinions. Entertain me if you please! 1. Do you think German liners beyond Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosser and Bremen/ Europa don't get enough recognition for all their (especially) luxury "firsts" (elevator, cover charge restaurant, winter gardens, lidos, those Vienna Cafes)? 2. What era of liner decoration is your preferential movement? And a prime example of this for you would be? 3. Conte di Savoia's Salone Colonna - Beautiful room, but in the wrong ship and they just should have gone full modern with Rex being a wonderful period piece against it? Or do you think it was right do a Lloyd's of London/Bowood House arrangement? *sorry*

1. I do think that the German liners tend to be unfairly overlooked. I think people tend to focus a bit too much on Cunard and White Star. Don't get me wrong, I adore them and their ships, but I think other lines and countries deserve some more attention. I'm particularly a fan of the Imperator class of ocean liners.

2. My favorite era would probably be the Edwardian/ pre-war stuff. My favorite is probably a tie between the Olympic, Oceanic, and Mauretania. Other examples include The Big Four, Lusitania, and the plans for what the Britannic would have looked like had she survived the war. A close second would be the art deco ships, but I'm specifically referring to the Cunarders here. I'm really not a fan of the Normandies interior design, for example. In terms of the exterior of ships, I would say my favorites are from 1930 to the mid-50s. My favorites are the MV Georgic, Bremen, the planned but unbuilt RMMV Oceanic, and SS United States. The Big U definitely has my favorite exterior. 

3. I do think it would have been nice for the Rex to contrast the Conte di Savoia (especially considering the Rex was the last ocean liner that had a clipper stern), but it's also important to remember that they were originally being built by two different companies and intended to be rivals. They became running mates purely by accident when the companies merged. I'm not sure how far along in the building process they were when the merger happened, but I wouldn't be surprised if they just didn't think it would be worth it to swap around the interior decor after installation. 

4. Why are you apologizing? I love questions like these! Thank you so much!
