The better you design your hospitality business, the more homely customers will feel when they are sat inside sipping their morning coffee. With that being said, it’s a good idea to set aside some money to purchase furnishings and accessories that not only give the space an inviting ambiance but also, that provide visitors with comfort. Redesigning a food and drink establishment requires a great deal of thought, from considering the functionality factor to making sure the items fall within your budget. Create a good first impression by taking into account the following things about purchasing bistro fittings.
Durability and Quality
Furniture tends to face a lot of wear and tear, particularly those positioned in high traffic areas. This is why you ought to purchase items that do not break, dent, scratch or lose their condition easily. Remember that there are many different grades of metal and wood available, some of which are stronger than others. Hardwood is durable wood that requires minimal maintenance, whereas softwood might need a bit of extra care.Steel is the heaviest of materials and can withstand scratches, but wool, vinyl and denim will serve well as sofa fabrics. When picking out sofa materials, opt for microfiber or faux leather, because they are easily washable.
The Layout and Floor Plan
Picking out furniture for your cafe is a recipe for disaster if you don’t take the time to figure out what available space you have. Every property’s floor plan will differ, which is why you should get a detailed floor plan drawings and take measurements, before using this information to show a furniture fitting specialist what available space you have to work with. If space is minimal, fill the corners with desks, tables and L-shaped sofas. Circular shaped pieces will give the room a more fluid look, whereas pieces with sharp corners will add a modern element.
The Colour and Style
How does the cafe look in its current state? Is it funky and fresh with a splash of vivid colour? If so, create a unique contrast by introducing plain-coloured furnishings, such as whites, blacks, silvers and golds. Bold-coloured furniture will stand out against a neutral backdrop, so seek out coloured pieces if you’re working with a blank canvas. The style should also blend with the existing style and some options include eclectic, modern, traditional, country and casual. Take inspiration from places around the world too, such as France, Italy and Spain.
