Furniture Restoration for Restaurants Improves Style and Business

restaurantThe look and feel of a restaurant affects how many people walk through the door, tell their friends to visit, and, ultimately, whether the eatery succeeds or not. So when waiting benches, dining room chairs, and stools at the bar show signs of wear or are just out of style with customer expectations or the goal of the restaurant, it is time to consider furniture restoration for restaurants.

Why Consider Restaurant Furniture Restoration

Chairs, stools, and booths in a restaurant get more use than seating in almost any other type of business. People are constantly coming in and out, sitting down and getting up, and even dropping and spilling things on the seats.

No one wants to visit a restaurant with stained, ripped, or grungy seats. If you own the eatery, you may first consider replacing everything with brand new items. The biggest problem with that is cost.

Furniture restoration allows you to not only save money but also maintain the familiar and comfortable style that has served you well for years. The structures of the chairs, booths, and stools will not change. This helps regulars feel at home and feel more comfortable. Restoration with the same fabric type spruces up the place and makes it look fresh again. Restoration with a new fabric type can suddenly change the atmosphere or bring the restaurant into a new era of style.

The Process of Restaurant Furniture Restoration, Explained

The restoration professionals start with a conversation. In order to deliver precisely what you want, you need to be clear about fabric choices, structural changes, or any other fixes or accents you want. After the work order is finalized, deconstruction begins. They remove the existing fabric and padding.

If any structural damage exists, the restoration experts can fix this as part of the process so your customers have a comfortable and secure seat while eating a meal or enjoying a drink at the bar. Wood refinishing comes next. Instead of faded stain with nicks and discoloration, you can have a fresh new look without the cost of buying new.

Reupholstering is the next step. Using the fabric or fabrics chosen, stools and wooden chairs will get a new stylish seat. Custom cushions will bring comfort to booths of all sizes and shapes. Finally, the finishing touches such as brads, decorative studs, fringe, trim, and tassels are attached securely.

Every restaurant is designed around a particular style chosen to give customers a unique experience. Fancy locations may use fine fabric like damask or heavy silk, while the neighborhood diner may stick with vinyl for easy cleanup.

If you intend to open a new restaurant, diner, or café, or if you want to reignite interest with a new focus on style, furniture restoration presents an affordable way to quickly create ambiance and provide extra comfort for everyone who walks through the doors.
