Bar Furniture

A bar requires different types of furniture to function properly. You will want to have bar stools to accommodate patrons at high poseur tables or those sitting at the bar. You’ll want to include some lower bar chairs, bar seats and tables, perhaps with fixed seating to add an element of verticality to your space. Benches and pub tables are also a welcome addition to many bar decor styles, as they can sit bigger groups where space is limited.

The tall chairs placed at a bar are called bar stools. Typically with a footrest, bar stools can occasionally have a back support and can be found in a variety of materials and finishes. 

Perfect to sit patrons at bars or tall poseur tables, bar stools are an essential piece of furniture for nightclubs and bars. Shop our full range of bar stools to find the perfect option for your business.

Apart from providing a comfortable and functional area for customers to sit and drink, bar furniture is crucial to setting the atmosphere of your room. Those looking to decorate their bar should carefully consider design styles and furniture options to ensure a cohesive and appealing style.

There are a variety of design styles that are perfect for bars, but each one conveys a different story and you should carefully consider how you decorate your bar in-line with the mood you want to curate. Bar furniture should always be chosen with your design style in mind. A few ideas to consider are:

  • Industrial style – Industrial design choices are typically perfect for cocktail bars and craft beer taprooms. This style works great in converted warehouses and ‘DIY’ spaces, emphasising exposed fittings and metal finishes. 
  • Modern style – Modern style suits most businesses and demographics. Simple furnishings and colours are functional and stylish, with bold artwork helping these rooms stand out.
  • Maximalist – Maximalist style involves bright colours and bold patterns with extravagant artwork and furniture choices. This style is perfect for themed bars who want their design choices to reflect their niche.  

There are many other design choices you should consider for your bar. Read our full guide on bar and restaurant decor ideas here.
