Interior design is all about the fine details, and that is equally true of commercial furniture as it is about residential spaces, wallpaper, lighting and so on.
With commercial furniture, you have something that will not only define how your interiors look; it will also determine how they are used.
Of course, there is also commercial furniture for exterior use, and outdoor furniture can be even more significant in a setting where you have few other options for decoration.
Here are some of the things to consider when putting the finishing touches to your scheme, whether for indoor or outdoor use.
1. Material touches
On some commercial furniture, you literally have the option of specifying your choice of finishing touches, and the fabric on upholstered chairs is one of these possibilities.
This lets you choose the colour and texture of the seat, perfect to blend it in to a general colour scheme or to match existing soft furnishings like cushions and curtains that you want to retain.
2. Precious metals
You're not going to use furniture made of solid gold, but you can opt for golden-coloured or silver-coloured metalwork.
Again, this is largely about personal preference, but it can be an important finishing touch to make sure your design scheme is consistent with your venue's surroundings.
3. World of wood
Natural materials like wood offer plenty of variety too, and that includes the shape of the piece - carved, joined or bentwood furniture all has its own part to play in design.
You can also opt for dark or light colours of wood - whether natural or stained - and this all again helps you to match the style and scheme of your interior or exterior space.
4. Luxury touches
Even if you cannot afford - or simply do not want - to fit your venue entirely with leather furniture, a couple of high-quality pieces can be a good addition, alongside your 'workhorse' furniture that's designed more for durability.
Place these carefully throughout your space and they can act as stepping stones, creating a joined-up sense of luxury weaved in amongst your less remarkable tables and chairs.
5. Standalone furniture
Your furniture needs to work well overall, but that doesn't mean it has to all be the same - a standalone piece is a great way to occupy a nook in your venue that might otherwise look odd or impractical.
Consider one or several of these - whatever works with the space you are trying to fill - and you give your customers some variety when deciding where to sit.
