Restaurant Chairs Design: Indoor/Outdoor Chairs

Who says you have to use indoor chairs indoors? With so many sleek and stylish outdoor metal chairs available, you can carry your look from indoors to out with ease. Even on the most congested city sidewalks, outdoor dining has caught on in a significant way.

You multitask, so why not do the same with your restaurant chairs? And if a chair can withstand the elements, it’s a cinch that it will stand up to indoor use as well. If you are planning new furniture purchases or restocking, consider seating that can be used inside and out. Your patio furniture selection is likely to have low or no maintenance as a criterion, as well as the usual comfort, looks, and price as other deciding factors. Casual dining venues are especially good places for this design direction. Made from materials such as aluminum, teak, and rattan, outdoor furniture can fit with a range of decors.

Restaurant Chairs Design: Tips on Trends

Following trends of the day is a fine route to take when it comes to restaurant design, but unless you’re made of big bucks, you need to be able to transcend trends—work with them so that they work for you and stay vibrant and exciting once that trend begins to pass.

So be sure to survey the field and see what competing vendors can bring to the table.

Restaurant Furniture Design: Fusion Furnishing

swivel barstoolWhat’s your look? Traditional? Contemporary? Fusion? The options for restaurant chairs, stools, and tables are all over the map—from wood to metal to plastics, from plain to fancy and in between.

The fusion idea is a fun way to approach an innovative décor. Eclecticism has been in vogue for a long time. That mix-and-match idea allows for a lot of creativity in restaurant furnishings. As with fusion cooking—which melds flavors and textures from different cultures and parts of the world—a fusion approach means you can mix metal chairs with wood tables, traditional bar stools in a space-age bar, outdoor chairs used indoors, and so on.
