You may have decided to open a new food outlet or refurbish the one you already have. You are looking for unique furnishings and have decided to go with rustic restaurant furniture in your venue. Depending on where you live, you may need to travel out of state to find the unique pieces you are looking for.

The majority of your furnishings should be made of wood such as pine, hickory, walnut or oak. Other materials can include branches, logs and even reclaimed wood from old barns and other outbuildings. The many styles you can choose from for your new interior can include traditional American, Southwestern and Mexican. What gives each piece its own character is the addition of the various paints, stains, upholstery, fabrics, metal trims, leather and/or hardware.

Buying rough wooden booths to line up against the outer walls will add instant appeal. Decorate the room with vintage accessories and antique lighting and you will have a very unique and inviting venue for your customers to frequent.

You can create a very different look through the use of picnic tables. Used both inside and out, they can create real atmosphere for the food service outlet. Paint or stain them in colors or just leave them untouched to match your overall decor for a authentic appeal.

Arrange a combination of tables and booths to create a unique decor for the food service outlet. Lay it all out on paper first to make sure everything will fit and to ensure guest comfort and good server work flow. Keep the ability to be able to move the tables as needed throughout the year.

Mix a variety of old tables and wooden chairs for an eclectic look. Mix up the different pieces for a very cozy and vintage appeal that all of your customers will love. With the addition of vintage centerpieces and reproduction salt and pepper shakers and condiment containers, your outlet will have a very welcoming decor.

Choose other furnishings to match your interior decor such as buffet tables, display cases, bars, bar stools, host podiums, lounging area sofas and chairs, and even office furniture for the back of the house such as desks and file cabinets. Centerpieces, artwork and even special lighting will help blend everything together for a unified look.

Carry your theme throughout the rest of the building and include restrooms, party rooms, service stations and the main entrance in your vision. Building features such as built-ins, railings, planters, staircases, floors, and ceilings should also match. When planning menus, continue to carry on with this particular theme in the fonts, artwork and pictures, and even in the food items listed.

Your new venue will be an immediate attraction for local and guest customers with the addition of the new furnishings. They will be so entranced and delighted with the new atmosphere of the dining rooms and will feel readily at home as soon as they enter the building. This theme that is used throughout your outlet can continue to be used in the signage and advertising that is utilized to promote your venue.
