Getting dressed up for cocktails in a noisy bar furnished with the latest décor makes for an exciting night out, however, the more low-key experience of catching up with friends over a few drinks at the pub will never wane in popularity.
Over the last few decades, thanks to public demand, the British pub has seen a seismic shift from being a smoky, male-dominated setting to a more family-friendly and often food-focussed environment.
These days a visit to the pub can mean anything from a swift solitary pint to a gourmet meal with a large group of friends. However, what remains a constant is the welcoming environment of our favourite pubs and taking care to choose the right pub furniture plays a key part in creating that.
Classic pubs
When selecting furniture for any building, context is everything. As many pubs are housed in old or even ancient buildings that have served their communities over centuries, traditional furniture is very often the best bet for creating a warm, welcoming environment for the modern punter while respecting the history of the setting. Not only that, traditional bar stools and matching tables fit into the nooks and crannies that can be tricky to furnish in old buildings, while tall bar chairs and stools also maximise space while catering to the age-old pastime of drinking at the bar.
However, this style of decor certainly doesn’t mean putting up with rickety old furniture that is past its best. Much of today’s pub furniture takes its inspiration from the past. Trent Furniture’s wide range of traditional pub furniture, including the Captains Chair and Admirals Chair builds on the design classics of the past to provide the standards of comfort, durability and style needed for today’s traditional pub.
Contemporary pubs
These days, many pubs, particularly those with a family-friendly feel, opt for a more modern look. Trent Furniture supply a great range of contemporary pub furniture ideal for creating a cosy pub atmosphere with a modern twist. Easy to clean faux leather furniture such as the Abbruzzo Faux Leather Chair and Manhattan Two Seater Sofa (below) is comfortable, durable and goes well with contemporary tables made from metal and lighter-toned wood.
