What is Café Furniture?
Café furniture refers to the tables, chairs, stools, and sofas that are designed for use in cafés, coffee shops, and small eateries. It’s furniture that’s built to handle contract use and look good while doing it.
But it’s about more than just durability and strength, the best pieces will elevate a space, offering comfort and charm in equal measure. Some of the most common café furniture includes:
• Chairs and stools • Coffee tables • Dining tables • Outdoor dining sets
How do I Choose the Perfect Café Furniture?
Choose durable materials
Cafés are high-traffic environments, so durability is the key. Choose sturdy, hardwearing materials that are easy to maintain and keep clean. Look for:
• Durable Woods: Hardwoods such as Oak or Ash are popular choices for café furniture
• Laminate Table Tops: Laminate provides a protective layer to tables that’s easy to clean and resistant to stains
• Weatherproof Options: For outdoor dining furniture, choose rust-resistant metals, treated wood or highly durable polypropylene
Match style with substance
Current trends in café furniture lean towards earthy, botanically inspired themes with natural wood tones and accents of green, but there’s always room for individuality. You could consider bistro-style pieces which offer French flair with timeless appeal, while retro inspired furniture such as bentwood and wishbone chairs will add vintage appeal.
