Buying pub furniture should not be hard - and if you know what you need, then it becomes a very straightforward process.
The only real challenge is to strike the right balance between matching pub furniture that shows the investment you have made in your interiors, and a contrast of different items that creates the expected illusion of furniture that has been bought and replaced over a period of some years.
Customers have come to expect this from modern-day pubs - the traditional appearance of mix-and-match chairs and tables is still comforting, but people also want some coherence too so they know your premises are well maintained, with all-new furniture.
If you can get this right, you're already a good way towards having a venue that will make a good first impression.
One good way to balance these two seemingly opposing needs is to choose just two or three different types of chair, and make sure you have a roughly equal number of each.
Customers will see that you have several of the same item of pub furniture, giving the effect of coherence and cohesion, but they will also see the variety between the different pieces in your premises.
A convenient way to buy pub furniture to achieve these effects is to focus on furniture packs - tables supplied complete with a suitable number of chairs in a matching colour or design.
You might get four or six chairs with each table bought in this way, but as long as they are of similar heights, there is no reason why you must use the chairs with the specific table they were designed for.
Instead, you can buy all of your pub furniture in the form of different styles of furniture package, then move the chairs around so each table has a variety of seating alongside it.
The final effect of this is that traditional pub impression - furniture that works well together in any configuration, but with variety between individual chairs and tables.
Of course, you might want a totally consistent selection of furniture - and furniture packs are a good way to get the number of tables and chairs right here, too.
