Purchasing Unique Rustic Restaurant Furniture

By Lucia Weeks


You may have decided to open a new food outlet or refurbish the one you already have. You are looking for unique furnishings and have decided to go with rustic restaurant furniture in your venue. Depending on where you live, you may need to travel out of state to find the unique pieces you are looking for.

What will match best is wood furnishings made from oak, walnut, hickory, or pine. Some of the materials utilized can even be logs, reclaimed wood from old outbuildings and home, and even branches. You can choose from furnishings in Mexican, Southwestern, and the very traditional American styles. The additions and construction of extras in the furnishings such as leather, metal decorations, upholstery, and paint are what will help give each piece a distinctive look.

Rough wooden booths lining the main room of the venue can give the decor an intriguing look. Top it off with vintage signs on the walls as well as antique accessories, and you will have a truly unique and enticing venue.

Picnic tables also make wonderful seating in a casual venue. You can paint them, stain them or just leave them in their natural state to give the dining room and patio areas real atmosphere.

Utilize a combination of booths and tables to create a truly authentic look for your business. Before arranging the tables and booths, lay out an effective floor plan on paper for optimal guest satisfaction and employee work flow. Maintain the ability to move both the tables and booths as needed for new looks throughout the 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 venue will be an instant hit and guests will be drawn to your place of business with the addition of your new furnishings. Customers will be delighted and entranced with your new look and feel instantly at home when they walk through your doors. Continue to use your theme even in your advertising and signage used to promote your outlet.
