Cafes and bars
The wall your customers stand in front of
Small rooms live or die on one wall, and in a cafe or bar that wall is usually behind the counter or beside the queue. Made-to-measure printing lets a narrow, awkward space carry a full-height design with no visible repeat and no wasted material. We print on scrubbable vinyl for anything near the espresso machine or the back bar, and on textured paper for rooms that want a softer, less commercial surface.

What we bring to the job
Made for awkward small walls
A pillar, an alcove or the strip beside a service window is exactly where standard rolls waste the most material. We print to the measurement you give us, so a two-foot-wide wall costs what a two-foot-wide wall should and arrives as a single panel.
Handles steam and splash zones
Type II vinyl is the material to put behind a coffee station or a back bar. It tolerates steam, the occasional splash and a daily wipe, which no standard residential paper will do for long in the same position.
Change it with the season
Because a small wall is genuinely affordable to reprint, the design can follow a menu change or a season. Peel and stick makes that a two-hour job with no paste, no mess and no closure, and it comes down without taking the paint with it.
A backdrop people photograph
A strong wall at counter height gives customers a reason to take a picture with your name in it. We scale the artwork so the focal point sits where a phone camera naturally frames it, rather than cropping it off at shoulder height.
Where it goes
- Back-of-counter wall sized to the full elevation
- Queue and waiting wall with a large-scale pattern
- Back bar and bottle shelf backdrop
- Restroom walls in a washable finish
- Seasonal peel and stick feature wall that changes with the menu

Specifying for cafes and bars
What cafés and bars actually need
Independent cafés and bars are often working with a small space, a short lease and a limited fit-out budget. They need something with impact that can be installed quickly and does not require building work.
What we specify
Textured where drinks and chairs reach the wall, and above the rail and on ceilings too. Geometry and texture tend to outperform scenery here, because they photograph well behind people and do not compete with signage and menu boards.
Getting a project price
Send the wall sizes, the number of walls and your programme dates through the quote form and we come back with a price, a lead time and free material samples. Commercial orders are quoted rather than checked out, because the material, the fire rating and the panel drawings all depend on the site.

Common questions
There is no minimum. A single feature wall in a small café is a perfectly normal commercial order, and the quote form is the fastest route to a price and a lead time.
Faster than most trades, but not instantly. Tell us your fit-out date in the quote form and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable before you commit.
