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.

Buying rough wooden booths to line up against the outer walls will add instant appeal. Decorate the room with vintage accessories and antique lighting and you will have a very unique and inviting venue for your customers to frequent.

Picnic tables are easy to locate and can add real appeal to a food outlet. You can utilize them either inside or out and they can be painted or stained to match the rest of your interior and exterior decor. You can leave them as is and allow them to age and wear on a daily basis to get a truly unique patina.

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.

Purchase a mixture of styles of old wooden chairs and tables for a truly eclectic look and appeal. Mix them up in the dining rooms for a vintage appeal that customers will really love. Add vintage centerpieces and even reproduction condiment bottles and salt and pepper shakers for a truly welcoming decor.

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 new venue will be an immediate attraction for local and guest customers with the addition of the new furnishings. They will be so entranced and delighted with the new atmosphere of the dining rooms and will feel readily at home as soon as they enter the building. This theme that is used throughout your outlet can continue to be used in the signage and advertising that is utilized to promote your venue.
