Duchess Kate Middleton was the inspiration behind the design of this Melbourne cafe

An inner-city Melbourne cafe has been given the royal treatment with a makeover inspired by Kate Middleton. Interior architecture practice Studio Tate in collaboration with graphic design studio Pop + Pac, designed the Middletown Restaurant to embody Kate and pay homage to her journey from the English countryside to British high society.

“The key design decisions were all inspired by some part of her life, whether it be a pattern derived from the cladding of her local countryside pub or the signature blue paint colour akin to Kate’s iconic navy coat”, explains Alex Hopkins, Principal Interior Designer with Studio Tate.
