When eating out in a restaurant, or drinking their favourite cup of coffee, customers make their choice of venue based on multiple factors. Of course, great food and tasty coffee is what gets people in, but, in order to make them stay and come back again to enjoy your venue, then you need to make sure that the interior, hence the furniture pieces are suitable, comfortable and properly arranged.
The right seating sets and contemporary restaurant furniture pieces will set the scene for your guests' dining experience. The same goes for cafe owners too. The atmosphere where people have their daily dose of coffee or any other beverage does matter, so, make sure that your customers enjoy the scenery as much as they enjoy the service and products your venue offers. So, which details matter most?
Furniture Quality
There are no doubts that furniture is an investment, so, make it count. Opt for high-quality contemporary restaurant furniture pieces that are able to handle constant wear and tear for years to come. Opt for durable materials that are easy to wipe down and clean. And if you prefer fabric furniture for your restaurant or cafe, then it is recommended that you consider stain-resistant and colourfast materials.
Furniture Shape
For the purpose of creating an eye-catching and visually pleasing space, then you should pay additional attention to the shape of the furniture pieces you are going to include in the interior of your venue. For instance, round tables quite often encourage more conversation, but, square and rectangular ones are space-efficient and do give a bit of an edgy look to the entire space. Also, there are a number of venues that offer two-person tables. Depending on your preferences, of course, you can include tables and chairs in more unusual forms. Contemporary pieces today can be found in many different shapes that can add style as well as functionality to your restaurant or cafe.
Furniture Style
Generally, there are two types of furniture pieces suitable for restaurants and cafes. The first type is anchored seating arrangements. These refer to any furniture piece that is attached to the wall or floor. The most popular type of anchored seating is definitely booths. Anchored seating options allow for more leg space and when properly placed they can create a secluded dining or coffee area.
The second type is the portable pieces, or also known as “floating" tables and chairs. Their main advantage over the anchored type is that they can be placed virtually anywhere in the venue. Usually, they are placed in the middle of the space, not right next to the walls, and if needed, these can be easily rearranged if you want to accommodate a larger party. Moreover, if you decide to renovate and still want to keep your contemporary furniture pieces, these can easily fit in the new space. In the end, it is up to you which type you are going to include... or for additional versatility, why not include a bit of both?
