Hope you have a big appetite, because Chip and Joanna Gaines‘ long-awaited restaurant, Magnolia Table, is finally open for business! After whispers that the Waco, TX, eatery would start welcoming guests sometime this spring, the “Fixer Upper” couple decided to surprise fans and open bright and early on Monday morning.

The restaurant—which serves up breakfast and lunch items like lemon lavender doughnut holes and Chip’s ham sandwich—is very much what you’d expect from the Gaineses’ first restaurant. The rustic, minimalist decor unquestionably channels Joanna’s signature farmhouse aesthetic, and creates a cozy yet stylish space. It’s also chock-full of kitchen and dining room decor ideas that can easily translate into a residential setting.

Restaurant decor can be stuffy and pretentious, but these are the design ideas from Magnolia Table we’d take back to our own homes in a heartbeat.

1. Typographic signage

As I was scrolling insta tonight, I saw this on @joannagaines feed. I love this because, well, #magnoliatable #obvi, but also because this message is the exact same one I share at The Selah Retreat. Everyone that comes on retreat with me has a seat at the table. And they are truly welcome. And truly invited. In just 7 sleeps, I get to spend 40 hours with 14 women from across the country! We’ll be creative yes, but the retreat is so much more than that. It’s about making new connections, resting, and taking a break from the daily grind. My friend @aaihde, who came in December, said that the magic happened in between the projects, when the ladies chatted about crazy life over a cuppa chai. And when we sat down to our dinner on Saturday night and DIDN’T HAVE TO COOK IT OURSELVES ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป❤️ (thank you to our private chef!). I hope some day each and every one of you can join me here at the coast for a retreat. It’s such a special time. ❤️

Any home designed by Chip and Jo is bound to have a kitschy sign or word display. We’ve even seen it throughout their farmhouse—from the stenciled quote in the entryway to the vintage “Super Market” sign in the kitchen. At Magnolia Table, the phrase “Where everyone has a seat at the table” in wrought-iron letters is prominently displayed on the wall in the main dining room.

2. Exposed wood beams

A surefire way to make your home look more rustic? Exposed wood beams. Chip and Jo decided to play up the cathedral ceiling by adding beams throughout the restaurant. They draw the eye up and tie the whole look together.

3. Black-and-white accents

The entry designated for takeout is covered in a chic black-and-white awning that’s similar to other awnings on-site at Magnolia Market at the Silos, the Gaineses’ retail destination just down the road. Part of curating that minimalist style in your own home is sticking to a color palette of black and white with pops of natural greenery, which brings us to…

4. Plenty of plants

The collection of houseplants in Magnolia Table is impressive, but one of the easiest ways to bring greenery into your home is inspired by these little plant displays on tables throughout the restaurant. To replicate the look, just throw a couple of sprigs of freshly cut leaves, eucalyptus, or lavender in a white or clear glass vase. You’ve now created an arrangement for your dining or side table.

5. Extra-long wooden farmhouse tables

Banquet-style dining tables are strategically placed throughout the restaurant to accommodate the large parties that will no doubt make their way to Magnolia Table for Saturday brunch. If you have the space, make an oversize farmhouse table in a rough-hewn finish the star of your dining room. It’ll give off the same homey vibe that Chip and Jo intentionally created in their restaurant.

6. Statement lighting

Switch out your boring flush-mount lighting for a modern chandelier like the ones Joanna chose to hang throughout Magnolia Table. Rustic metal pendant lights will also look great over a dining table or kitchen counter.

7. Geometric tiling

The key to nailing Magnolia Table’s aesthetic is to balance country-inspired decor (see the shiplap walls in the back?) with modern touches like geometric patterns. Chip and Jo could have opted for hardwood floors in this room, but between the wooden tables, walls, and planter boxes, it would have been a bit much. The symmetrical black-and-white floor tiles contrast well with the rest of the wooden furnishings, juxtaposing rustic style with modern sensibility.
