What Sort Of Furniture Should You Choose For Your Cafe?

Making the right choice of furniture for your cafe is paramount to its success and although you may not realise it at the time, once your furniture is installed the overall appearance of your cafe will change dramatically.

If you’re starting out from scratch, then it’s really important to make the right choice, after all, when you’re buying multiples of chairs and tables, it’s not exactly cheap. The one question that might spring to mind is whether to go for metal or wooden furniture. In our opinion you should focus on strength and quality in particular as well as finding styles that fit in perfectly with your theme.

Here’s a few tips to help:

Colours and design

Colours and design are one of the most important things to consider when choosing cafe furniture, after all it takes up the most space, and is one of the first things that customers see when they walk through your door. Colour can have a psychological effect on people’s feelings and mood. For example brown and yellow not only gives a warm ambience but is said to relax you. You’ll find plenty of colours to choose from in our replica Toloix range of chairs and stools.

Style

Consider the style of your cafe. Knowing at the early stages of planning where you want to place your furniture, the materials, and the colours that best fit your concept, will save time in the long run. Both metal and steel have the ability to look modern and traditional depending on the styles you choose.

Relaxing atmosphere

In essence most people go to cafes to wind down and relax, often after a busy day at the office, or to take the weight off their feet on a long shopping jaunt. Surprising many cafe owners forget this, so make sure that along with the upright wooden chairs or metal furniture, that you’ve also got some comfy sofas and booths for people to feel at home and relaxed on.

Cheap and cheerful

Cheap furniture is usually cheap for a reason and that’s normally because it lacks comfort and is poorly designed. When buying cafe furniture it’s crucial to buy commercial grade furniture because that’s been designed to be used regularly and frequently. Also, it’s a good idea to buy AFRDI treated furniture whenever possible, as this has been put through rigorous testing. Surprisingly, it’s not always the most expensive items either.

Here at Cafe Furniture Melbourne we’ve got a wide range of furniture to choose from in all types of materials, styles, and colours, with a lot of it having been AFRDI tested.
