22 Jul 2024

Introduction

When you step into a traditional pub, you’re immediately greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. One of the key elements that contribute to this ambiance is the carefully chosen pub furniture. From sturdy wooden bar stools  to plush leather sofas, pub furniture plays a crucial role in creating a comfortable and social environment. In this blog, we’ll explore the world of pub furniture and tips for selecting the perfect pieces for your own establishment.

The Classic Bar Stool

Bar stools are synonymous with pubs. They come in various styles, but the classic wooden bar stool remains a timeless choice. Our button top stools are the perfect fit if you are wanting to go for a classic wooden seat. Whether you prefer a backless design or one with a supportive backrest, bar stools are essential for creating a casual and communal seating area around the bar. Our bar stools have been made out of sustainable rubber wood to then have been stained to get the desired look, this means your pub can look the part but is a sustainable choice. Our traditional bar stools are just what you need if you want the classic pub feeling and they can be upholstered with any Crib 5 fabric you desire if you want to funk it up.

Cozy Booths and Banquettes

Booth seating adds intimacy to a pub. Imagine sinking into a plush booth with friends, enjoying a pint of ale or a hearty meal. Banquettes, which are upholstered benches along the walls, also provide a cozy nook for patrons. Opt for leather or fabric upholstery, and choose colours that complement the overall decor. We offer a single or doubled sided booth to create those cosy corners you pub needs to create the right atmosphere. Due to our booths not being fixed it means that if you need to change up your dining layout you have the flexibility to do so.

Rustic Tables and Chairs

Pub tables and chairs should be robust and practical. Wooden tables with a distressed finish exude rustic charm, we offer a range of vintage inspired table tops to inject the character your pub craves. Pair them with matching chairs or mix and match for an eclectic look. Consider high-top tables for standing areas near the bar, and don’t forget to add a few communal tables for larger groups. Our weathered oak colour along with the ridged table top is the perfect way to add in a rustic feeling to pub furniture. If you fancy something different try our vintage range to give your pub the trendy aged look. To get dynamic seating but still have a cohesive flow we offer a few ranges of out tables in various heights like our Milan tables.

Vintage Signs and Memorabilia

While not strictly furniture, vintage signs and memorabilia contribute to the pub’s character. Hang old beer advertisements, quirky signs, and framed sports memorabilia on the walls. These items tell a story and add visual interest to the space.

Lighting Matters

Good lighting sets the mood. Pendant lights above the bar create a warm glow, while wall sconces add a touch of elegance. Consider dimmable options to adjust the ambiance as the evening progresses. You might even go for fairly lights to create that magical feeling.

Outdoor Seating

If your pub has an outdoor area, invest in weather-resistant furniture. Picnic tables, wrought iron chairs, and umbrellas create an inviting space for patrons to enjoy sunny days or mild evenings.

Conclusion

Pub furniture isn’t just about functionality; it’s about creating an experience. Whether you’re designing a home bar or revamping your pub, pay attention to the details. From the texture of the upholstery to the placement of vintage mirrors, every element contributes to the overall charm. So raise a glass to well-chosen pub furniture—it’s the secret ingredient that keeps patrons coming back for more.
