Steal This Look: A Sweet Dining Space at Café Petiole

by Published: February 11, 2025

“Prettiest dining space we’ve seen in a while?” Julie wrote recently. “Café Petiole, a recently opened plant-forward cafe in London’s Somerset House, designed by London and Milan-based Duelle Studio.” The candy-colored palette makes it particularly romantic for Valentine’s month; here, we take a closer look at the details (and similar sources, so you can get the look at home).

For a similar shade, consider the brand’s Mrs. Bouquet colorway, shown here. Or: “Fancy recreating this color palette?,” asks Coat Paints. “Get in touch with our customer experience team quoting ‘Somerset House’ to shop these bespoke colors.”
