Furniture is one of the most important elements of a bar or restaurant. Your customers will spend a lot of time using the furniture you place in your establishment.

At Dawnvale we custom make the furniture you want based on the design of your establishment.

Buying furniture for your bar or restaurant is often a balancing act. You have to consider several factors and pick the furniture that is most closely aligned to those factors.

You should conduct our due diligence before purchasing furniture for your bar or restaurant and do not be afraid to travel far to get the furniture that suits your needs. However, ensure you get furniture that fits in your budget.

You can use the following tips to guide you in your decision to buy furniture for your establishment:

Choose furniture that complements your theme

Every bar and restaurant has a specific theme that gives the premises its unique character. The furniture you place inside the bar or restaurant should match the theme of the location.

If you are going for a romantic theme, small furniture for few people will be your choice. If you are shooting for a formal dining establishment, then you will probably choose long tables and high backed chairs.

Furniture contributes to the decor that creates the restaurant or bar’s ambience. Whether it is cosy and puffy or sleek and minimal, the furniture you choose should contribute to the atmosphere of your bar or restaurant.

Functionality and comfort is the key

No customer wants to drink or dine while sitting on uncomfortable furniture. Where the food and drinks are placed should also be comfortable and steady. Comfort is especially important if your customers will be spending a lot of time on the premises.

Functionality should never take a back seat to design. You want your furniture to serve its purposes first then appeal to the eye. Doing the opposite is a certain recipe for disaster.

Choose furniture that makes life easy

The furniture you place in a bar or restaurant should make your life as easy as possible. The furniture should be easy to clean and store.

Though you may want beautiful furniture that is comfortable, if you have to hire a professional cleaner every time you clean the furniture, it will cost you money that would otherwise be spent elsewhere. The furniture should also not be so bulky that cleaning them becomes a hassle.

If you have little storage space for your furniture, then foldable chairs that consume little space should be your choice. If you want furniture that moves around, then you should purchase furniture with wheels.

Go for durable and flexible furniture

When buying furniture for a restaurant or bar, you should choose furniture that is highly durable. With dozens of customers visiting your establishment every day, your furniture will undergo a fair amount of wear and tear. The more durable the furniture is, the less you will spend to maintain and replace the furniture.

Furniture in a bar or restaurant should also serve multiple purposes. The furniture should be applicable outdoors and indoors. The furniture should also be good to use across all seasons. Furniture flexibility ensures you do not have to spend a lot of money buying furniture for every occasion.
