The current Generation Y, born in the 1980s-90s and rapidly becoming the main spending force in the economy, pose their own challenges when designing the interior of your venue, so just what is the best bar furniture for Millennials?
Anyone aged from their late teens to their mid-30s can fall into this classification, which is also sometimes referred to as Generation Me, the Peter Pan Generation or Generation Snowflake - hinting at their diverse interests and desires, and young-at-heart attitudes.
While the typical Millennial personality isn't universally admired, it can be good news for entertainment venues like pubs and bars, as this is a generation of maturing individuals whose spending power is on the up, but who still want to have the same kinds of fun they had in their teenage years.
As such, appealing to Millennials aged 18-21 and those aged 30-35 doesn't necessarily need a significantly different way of designing and laying out your venue's interiors.
For a generation who grew up amid the hope and optimism of the Millennium itself, stylish interiors are still high on the wish list, making leather and rich, deep wood shades excellent choices when buying bar furniture for Millennials.
Many members of the so-called Generation Snowflake want to feel that they have their own space even within a communal environment like a bar, so use couches or banquettes with suitable tables to clearly create defined seating areas for small groups, and stools that can be moved around quickly to add an extra space if somebody arrives late for the party.
In many cases, Millennials will be more willing to embrace new materials and modern designs in furniture, especially if it is ergonomically shaped and comfortable or convenient to use, so don't be afraid to add a distinctive selection of bar furniture to your overall mix.
And for those who like to feel that they are always on the move, provide some perching positions - bar stools at a counter or tall tables customers can stand around without sitting down at all - and you cater for their more dynamic desires easily too.
