Nestled in the heart of Sutton Coldfield, just a short stroll from Four Oaks train station, The Florista recently opened its doors as a unique destination that seamlessly blends two passions: the artistry of floristry and the craft of exceptional coffee. This innovative space offers customers the best of both worlds with hand-tied bouquets arranged with care alongside specialty coffee, complemented by a tempting selection of fresh baked goods. Whether stopping by for a signature blend espresso before heading on your way or settling in to enjoy a leisurely hot chocolate, visitors to The Florista find themselves in a beautiful environment designed with their comfort in mind.
Through carefully selected furnishings from Peppermill Interiors, The Florista has created a bright, airy and welcoming space for its customers. From convenient perches whilst waiting for your takeaway coffee, to cosy lounge areas to linger and savour your drinks, the space is designed beautifully to accommodate all needs.
Dining Staples
Throughout the space, The Florista showcases meticulous attention to detail in every furniture choice. The Ashford Round Country Oak Top Café Tables anchor the dining area with their distinctive brass and black bases, creating striking focal points within the interior. These pieces feature oak-effect high impact laminate tops that resist scratches and stains, maintaining their polished appearance through countless coffee dates and flower arranging. The Jubilee Dining Chairs complement these tables with their faux leather upholstery, ribbed stitching, and black powder-coated metal frames. Their stackable design offers flexibility, while the varied colour palette of subtle, sophisticated tones enhances the overall aesthetic. Together, these carefully curated pieces exemplify the modern character that defines The Florista's interior, creating an environment where comfort and style are a priority.
Lounge Areas
The Florista has created an inviting lounge area that encourages customers to settle in and stay awhile. The Salisbury Vintage Style Seating Range forms the centrepiece of this space, featuring armchairs and a two-seater sofa upholstered in warm tan distressed faux leather. Inspired by a 1950s design by Arne Vodder, these pieces bring timeless appeal to the coffee shop through their handcrafted ashwood frames and luxurious upholstery. The warm tan tone complements the overall colour scheme whilst adding vintage charm that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. Fresh flowers on display throughout the shop bring bursts of vibrant colour that enliven the space, their seasonal blooms perfectly complementing the thoughtfully chosen furnishings. This carefully arranged seating area provides the ideal spot for customers to unwind with their coffee, browse through their fresh bouquet, or simply enjoy a quiet moment away from daily life. The Salisbury range demonstrates the harmonious relationship between comfort and design, offering a welcoming retreat that invites visitors to linger.
Convenient Perches
Recognising that many customers want a quick perch whilst waiting for their takeaway order, The Florista has incorporated smart solutions throughout the space. Positioned strategically near the entrance and along one of the back walls, the Jubilee Bench provides a convenient spot for brief moments of pause. With its sleek black powder-coated metal frame and ribbed stitch faux leather upholstery, the bench mirrors the industrial aesthetic of the Jubilee dining chairs whilst serving a distinctly different purpose. The Machinist Style Low Bar Stools complement this practical seating option, featuring authentic welded steel frames with a gunmetal finish and solid elm seats. These adjustable stools offer height flexibility through their industrial screw thread mechanism whilst maintaining the cohesive industrial character that runs throughout the shop. Together, these pieces ensure that whether customers are dashing in for a morning espresso or waiting for their carefully crafted bouquet to be wrapped, they have a comfortable place to rest.
Vintage Touches
The attention to detail extends beyond the interior, with a charming Vintage Slatted Bench positioned outside the shopfront. This welcoming piece of street furniture invites passersby to pause and enjoy the neighbourhood atmosphere, perhaps whilst sipping their takeaway coffee or admiring the seasonal blooms displayed in the window. The bench's warm mustard-toned frame provides a vibrant contrast against the crisp white exterior of The Florista, and at Peppermill Interiors, we add a selection of unique vintage seating to our website regularly to achieve a similar look. These thoughtful touches, both inside and out, transform The Florista into a welcoming, one stop destination for beautiful blooms and exceptional coffee.
