Locating And Purchasing Rustic Restaurant Furniture

By Lucia Weeks


Whether you are getting ready to open a new and exciting food outlet or are in the middle of refurbishing an existing one, you need to find new furnishings to match your distinctive decor. Rustic restaurant furniture may be just what you need to lend a comfortable and homey feel to your food outlet. Finding it is what may be an issue. You may even need to travel out of state to locate exactly the furnishings you are seeking.

The majority of your furnishings should be made of wood such as pine, hickory, walnut or oak. Other materials can include branches, logs and even reclaimed wood from old barns and other outbuildings. The many styles you can choose from for your new interior can include traditional American, Southwestern and Mexican. What gives each piece its own character is the addition of the various paints, stains, upholstery, fabrics, metal trims, leather and/or hardware.

Booths from reclaimed wood or other distressed materials can line the main room of the building. This can give the entire area a cozy and comfortable feel. Add antique signage on the walls as well as other vintage accessories for a truly distinctive and unique decor.

You can create a very different look through the use of picnic tables. Used both inside and out, they can create real atmosphere for the food service outlet. Paint or stain them in colors or just leave them untouched to match your overall decor for a authentic appeal.

Arranging a combination of tables and booths will create an interesting and authentic grouping in your dining rooms. Be sure to draw out a master plan before putting the tables in place. Arrange the furnishings for maximum guest comfort and employee work flow. Keep your options open to move the booths and tables at a later date so the floor plans can be varied throughout the upcoming year.

Find and buy a mixture of several different styles of wooden chairs and tables. Mix them up on the floor and around the room. Add antique centerpieces and even vintage salt and pepper shakers and condiment bottles to the mix for a truly eclectic look.

Furnishings such as bars, bar stools, display cases, counters, hostess stands, desks, and buffet tables can also be purchased to match your furnishings. Accessories such as artwork, lighting and centerpieces can also be added that will give even more personality and charm to the overall theme.

Carry your theme throughout the rest of the building and include restrooms, party rooms, service stations and the main entrance in your vision. Building features such as built-ins, railings, planters, staircases, floors, and ceilings should also match. When planning menus, continue to carry on with this particular theme in the fonts, artwork and pictures, and even in the food items listed.

Your refurbished or new outlet will become an instant hit after all of the new furnishings are in place. Customers will feel so at home and comfortable in the surroundings. Utilize this theme in all of your signage and advertising that you use to promote your food service venue.
