Adding Style to Restaurant Furniture

Many times, restaurant furniture can seem to get lost in the restaurant. Of course, I do not mean this literally. But sometimes when you walk into a restaurant, the furniture is just furniture. There are a few simple steps you can take to turn boring restaurant furniture into artwork.

First of all, add color!! Instead of using a plain black vinyl for seats, try a color that goes with your logo or simply a color you like. Even if your restaurant calls for sophistication, deep maroons and plums will do a lot to enhance the place. Try a different approach by adding color to the walls and using neutrals for the furniture. The contrast between the neutrals and bright colors is sure to add dimension to your restaurant. Another place to add color is on table tops. This is a good place to portray the theme of your restaurant. Put images, bottle caps, or even your logo on the top of your tables.

Second, experiment with different shapes! Table tops are available in many different shapes. Many tables can be custom shaped for your restaurant. If your budget doesn't allow for custom shapes, try alternating square and round for a unique look. Try adding curves and designs to the back of your dining chairs and bar stools. You can often order custom cut-outs in chair backs. Coffee cups and mugs are popular motifs for cafes, while martini and wine glasses can be used for bar stools.

Lastly, remember your booths! Booths can sometimes be forgotten as they are often pushed against a wall. As I said before, add color and shapes. You can add a piece that goes above the booth for extra style. Also, think about upholstery options, not just fabric choice. Take a look at some of the styles that Hazelwoods offers. Try adding buttons or channels to the booth backs.

Stylizing your restaurant furniture will not only liven up the atmosphere, but it will instill a sense of excitement in your guests when they walk through the door.
