3 Top Tips To Help You Arrange Your Cafe Furniture To Suit Your Needs

So you’ve got yourself a new café and can’t wait to get started. However before you do, there’s a few fundamentals that you need to get right, namely your café furniture. The problem is that there are so many styles, designs and sizes it’s enough to make your head spin. So how do you know what’s the best fit for your café and more importantly how should you arrange it when you decide? Let’s take a look.

Start with an idea

The first thing you need to do is to start with an idea. This could be a certain style type, a design idea or even a theme. This way you’ll have an idea of the type of furniture that best fits your plans. It may be a certain colour scheme or indeed an era (think retro!) but this way it’s far easier to narrow down your selections.

Really look at your space!

Now you have your theme, style, or design, you might want to take a close look at your space. The bottom line is that more tables means more customers and ultimately this equates to more money in your pocket! Therefore look to maximise as much of your space as possible. However you need to do it in such a way that your customers won’t feel uncomfortable and overcrowded. If for example you have awkward shaped alcoves then look at putting in bar stools and smaller round tables and create a cosy snug area. Likewise furniture closest to the door is more likely to get the most use so you might want to consider opting for something more durable. Finally, don’t forget your outside space! Even if you’ve only got a small pavement area, then there are a multitude of smaller bistro tables and chairs to choose from which will fit perfectly..

Consider purpose

How you arrange your room ultimately depends on what purpose you intend your café to be for. Okay, yes it’s going to be for eating and drinking but what about if you have a café in a great location with a fabulous view? It stands to reason that you’d want to take advantage of it. This being the case then you might prefer to set up two larger chairs with a coffee table in the centre. Conversely, if you’ve got a large open space with plenty of electrical outlets and lamps (all of which are conducive to working) then you might want to set up a larger rectangular table with multiple chairs.
