Custom Wood Tables Complete Rustic Restaurant And Café Design
In Toronto and in cities across North America, rustic interior design remains popular with new restaurants, bars, and cafés. It’s an atmosphere that’s not going anywhere soon, as the predominance of browns and soft reds lent by wood elicits a calming and familiar response. It’s a design scheme that will make your clients feel right at home in your establishment, that complements the welcoming environment your staff create, and that will keep guests returning. However, it takes an eye for detail and quality to make an impression, which is why you may want to think about talking to a custom wood furniture company about outfitting your new business.
You can browse Pinterest and design magazines for décor ideas, but when it comes time to furnish your new restaurant or café, if you want to make a mark, get something custom made that will be completely unique. You can look at our Woodcraft table designs and choose finishes and wood type, or you can reach out to us and discuss a truly custom project. Either way, our tables, whether they’re long communal showpieces or individual, are going to get your clientele talking.
When it comes to coffee shops, the communal table has become a common feature, especially in urban settings where shops are often long and narrow and there’s limited room for individual tables. Even cafés with dimensions closer to a square, with more width, have found that using large, square communal tables can still give customers enough space while adding more seating than they might otherwise have. Because they dominate the room, the finish, wood, and shape of these tables will define the rest of the establishment along with the bar. You may want to consider Woodcraft designs like our Lakefield dining table, made out of repurposed barn-beam wood, and harkening back to our own roots, when we were making handcrafted furniture out of a barn north of Toronto.
As for restaurants, introducing communal tables has allowed them to keep the cost of plates down by increasing the number of covers they can seat in a night. Communal dining tables, whether it’s in fine dining or gastropubs, has proven to be a controversial topic, but where the food or the drinks are the highlight, your customers won’t be concerned about bumping elbows. They also make seating large reservations simple and work well with bench-style seating along the walls.
Our dream at Woodcraft is to help our customers find the perfect table for their needs, whether it’s their home dining room or kitchen or furniture for an office, restaurant, brewpub, or espresso bar. Our solid wood furniture is well-made and can handle the heavy traffic and use that it will see in a restaurant setting, and once you have it, you won’t have to worry about replacing it with your next redecoration. They’re made to endure and we can easily repair and refinish them, so that they can keep up with changing design trends and your vision.
