Delft Blue Smoke & Slate Parlour Index

/delftBlueSmokeSlateParlourIndex
Design philosophy: a cool porcelain-inspired index with white pages, pale blue-smoke section trays, slate-grey typography, blue-grey hairlines, golden yellow review stars, and a deep Delft-blue accent reserved for CTAs, active navigation, and one typographic pull line. Core beliefs: afternoon-tea delicacy can feel world-class through calm alignment, not china-pattern ornament. Strict rules: light navbar, 80% width, centered serif hero capped at a modest size, concise supporting copy, paired CTAs, single wide photograph, ledger-style menu rows, opening-hours block, minimal footer. Typography philosophy: combine Source Serif 4, Lora, or Charter-style headings with Lato, Karla, or PT Sans body at readable sizes. Spacing philosophy: narrow gutters, consistent vertical rhythm, strong left edges in content sections. Motion: simple fades and link darkening. Imagery: blue cups, wet windows, polished spoons. Refuses nautical styling, gradients, badges. Common mistakes: royal-blue overload, decorative porcelain borders, weak table alignment.
