Shop Design Inspiration

I am just beginning to draw a mental picture of the general look and feel of the coffee shop I'd like to create. I was wondering what has inspired owners/baristas of existing shops when sitting down to put what they envisioned on paper and overseeing the creation of that vision? Or if you had to do it all over again, what would you change? Do you prefer marble to wood floors? Laminates to standard table tops? A deep green to a brown color theme? Also, what kind(s) of assistance did you hire/recruit? Did you use an architect, a consultant, general contractors?
