Bar Furniture

When attempting to decide which style of bar furniture to incorporate into a restaurant or pub bar the owner is confronted by a bewildering number of choices, some modern, some traditional, whether made of steel, wood or fabric upholstered or a combination of all three.

Storage Cubes Ottoman

The bar furniture market in the UK is seeing more and more modern styles being offered each year as many licensees choose to give the interior of their bar a lighter and hopefully more inviting aspect. Chromed tubular steel is very popular now, looking particularly attractive upholstered in leather or patterned dralon or flat weave fabric. Classic sofa designs, for example Le Corbusiers' 'Petit Confort' sofa which offers outstanding comfort combined with a strikingly attractive appearance when upholstered in black or red leather. These offer maximum impact when a number of single, two or three seater pub chairs are combined to utilize the bar space available and ideal combined with glass topped or modern wooden coffee tables. Of course fully upholstered sofas are popular especially in full leather to give the bar a relaxed ambience that encourages customers to stay, and of course spend more money on food and drink. As sofas take up more space than other forms of bar furniture, the proprietor can add chairs or bar stools into the plan to utilize the space available and accommodate more customers. Cube stools go particularly well with the leather sofas and can be upholstered in the same leather or a contrasting colour to add some variety and interest to the whole design. The choice of modern tall bar stools is extensive too, from a simple square chrome with square leather upholstered seat or more complex tubular pedestal bar stools with gas lift cushioning to give the customer extra comfort.

Traditional bar furniture is still dominated by the old 'Colonial' designs of chair, for example the 'Mates' and 'Captains' chairs with the Windsor and Wheelback chairs still being very popular. The Windsor chair has a history dating back to the 18th Century. Not surprisingly the first Windsor chairs were reputed to have been made in Windsor and developed from simply adding a few back spindles and a top rail to a regular joined wooden stool and gradually developed to the Windsor chair with sweeping curved back and decorative central supporting splat that is recognised as the classic design. The most favoured traditional bar stool design is certainly the 'Tudor' stool, a replication of the simple joined wooden stool and church pews dating back to the Medieval period. In the last three decades these pub chairs and bar stools have been most popular finished in dark oak colour although recently lighter shades in walnut finish or light oak have been more often chosen to brighten up the bar area. These bar chairs and bar stools are often required upholstered and the supplier can offer a huge choice of fabric to suit the proprietors' interior design.

Since new regulations were made law in 1988 (The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) regulations 1988) it is very important when purchasing new bar furniture that the correct certification to show that the fabric used has been treated for fire retardancy and that any foam fillings are made of combustion modified foam. The supplier of the bar furniture will be able to supply these. Bar stools are available at bar height to either stand by the bar or to stand alongside tall tables (poseur tables) designed specifically for drinking at rather than for dining. Poseur tables can have single pedestals with one or two table tops at different heights which take up little space and look very attractive when set in a room with other regular height bar furniture. The single poseur tables are available either in turned wood or decorative cast iron. They can also be found with rectangular tops either on a double pedestal base or a conventional four legged base, this size being more suited to a larger bar, where space saving is not such an issue. The most popular traditional bar stools for these tables are either the backless 'Tudor' bar stools with decorative turned legs or the 'Captains' bar stools based on 19th century colonial furniture.

In modern designs the wooden 'Shaker' style stools with simple square legs are often chosen. These can be bought as a simple backless stool with or without upholstery or with a backrest with either vertical or horizontal wooden slats. Recently tubular steel tall bar stools have become a popular choice, either in powder coated paint finish or chrome plated. These give great strength at a lower price than their wooden counterparts and give a very clean modern look when used with bar chairs in similar designs.

The Heart Of The Home

The place where family members spend the most time together is the family room. It is the place where guests are entertained, and family unwinds after a busy day at work, school, or running errands. It is the heart of the home, a place we want to feel good and relax. In more recent years, we have found greater comfort in staying home. It has become our refuge, our sanctuary. We desire a space that welcomes all, with warmth and coziness, not just a room to sit in. Therefore, furnishings, decor and design have been greatly influenced to provide such a space.

Storage Cubes Ottoman

To create that nest to bring family and friends together, there are certain things one can do to enhance the look of the space. Some are:

Storage Cubes Ottoman

1. Rugged, unattractive recliners are out! Oversized and sleeker chairs are in. The chairs of today are less bulky, and come in affordable leather with side handles that have disappeared. The reclining mechanisms are hidden. Many sectionals now offer recliners built right into them.

2. Sectionals provide more seating for larger groups. These now come in a variety of fabrics that are soft and yet durable, like microfiber, and many configurations. These provide a place to sprawl out in and relax.

3. Additional seating is provided by upholstered chairs that provide comfort and room. The chair and-a-half has become very popular in rooms that can handle the size. Ottomans and cubes are also incorporated.

4. Media or entertainment centers have typically become the focal point of the room. These provide organized shelving and storage for media equipment, photos, games and books.

5. Position the TV so that it does not face southern exposure which may cause glare.

6. If the room is large enough, create separate spaces for family interaction. That means a space for TV watching, another for card or game playing, and a third for quiet reading.

7. Color your room with paint and fabrics. Get away from beige of yesteryear. Sunny colors like golds, oranges, and corals warm up the space and create a warm environment. "Chocolate" is the new neutral and the new black. Blues like navy, gray-blues, and robin's egg, are always popular. Greens are earthy and remind us of nature.

8. Functional pieces are necessary. Make sure that you have a place to store magazines and newspapers next to seating where reading is done. End tables for putting down a glass or book by the chair, is also a must.

9. Enhance the room with candles, books, plants and flowers (whether fresh or silk), and photos of family members.

10. Remember to have a couple throws and accent pillows on the seating to not only create coziness through color and texture, but also provide family members with something that they can "cozy" up with on a day when it is needed. Create comfort.

11. Remember, window treatments provide not only insulation from heat and cold, but also compliment the look and feel of the room. They are the finishing touch to the windows. There are many affordable solutions in silk, linen, cottons and blends. Finishing touches like fringe, beads, and tassels can reflect the style of the room. These treatments don't need to be fussy.

Remember, any room can have furniture, but it is how you finish the room that adds comfort, coziness and warmth to bring family and friends together.

Which Garden Furniture is Best?

When the weathers fine and you got time on your hands there is nothing better than sitting outdoors and enjoying the day. To get the most out of the experience you need some good garden furniture. But there is so much choice with garden furniture it can be tough to know what to go for. What's going to give you the good service whilst being convenient and hassle free? Whats stylish, robust, maintenance free?

Storage Cubes Ottoman

Often with garden furniture the best place to start is by deciding what type of material you want the furniture made from and deciding just how much furniture you want. Do you want a set, individual items, chairs only, recliners, swings or sofas. It's worth considering do you want to use the furniture year round, outdoors and perhaps in a conservatory, how much storage room you have and what budget your likely to have. With these considerations in mind you can begin to look at what furniture will be best for you.

Storage Cubes Ottoman

In general there are four main types of materials used to construct garden furniture and they all have different characteristics and benefits. The main types of garden furniture materials are plastic/resin, metal, wood, and wicker.

Plastic/resin garden furniture - benefits from being durable and easy to maintain, is light weight and therefore easy to relocate around the garden or patio. Being man made means a wide variety of style choices are available to suit many tastes. Plastic garden furniture is often available at budget price but doesn't lend itself well to indoor use and unless you've got cushions your going to get sweaty behinds using some styles of plastic furniture. Great for leaving outdoors all year.

Metal - cast iron or wrought iron, both durable long lasting materials but can require maintenance if paint work becomes chipped or damaged. Easy to clean, and with a wide variety of styles meaning they can be used indoor or outdoor. Often metal furniture looks spindly as manufacturers seek to keep weight down and keep furniture easy to move around. Can be cumbersome, but guaranteed to give long service if maintained appropriately, usually expensive compared to plastic furniture and range of styles more limited, also great for leaving outdoors all year if maintained.

Wood furniture - Teak, mahogany, pine are all used extensively in wooden garden furniture. Due to its organic nature wood furniture carries a warmth and inherent outdoors style to it. Expect hard wood furniture such as teak and mahogany to last up to 25 years without treatment and pine 10 years. Easy to look after, move around the garden and a vast array of crafted styles mean furniture from this group can be great indoors and outdoors. Hardwood furniture usually requires a significant budget but softwood furniture can be purchased at rates similar to plastic furniture. Hardwoods can be left outdoors without fear of rot or decay, but softwood will need storage.

Wicker - Wicker tends to be a process rather than a material, but the materials used are significantly different to materials in other categories. Wicker furniture can be made from rattan, a natural vine, cane, bamboo, reed, sea grass, or man-made materials to give the effect of rattan or cane. Generally speaking for outdoor use you want man made rattan furniture but if you have storage such as a conservatory and only intend to take your furniture outdoors when the weather is fine then all the traditional wicker materials can make great garden furniture. Available in extensive traditional and modern designs, lightweight and easy to maintain, wicker furniture offers a good mid level material between plastic and teak.

Repainting Your Coffee Table to Look New Again!

Are you on a budget and don't want to throw down another 0 to 0 to buy something as inconsequential as a coffee table? Most people have better things to spend their money on than another piece of furniture.

Storage Cubes Ottoman

So save some money by turning your boring, beat-up, old coffee table into a brand new table with a simple coat of paint.

Storage Cubes Ottoman

Here are the steps you need to take to repaint your coffee table:

1. Set up the area in which you intend to paint. You should use a highly ventilated area like a garage or even on your driveway. Set up drop cloth around where you will be painting because there will be spillage.

2. You need to remove the current paint or protective coating to get back to the base wood of the table. You can use varnish or paint remover from the hardware store. Simply follow the directions on the package. If you run into paint or varnish that doesn't want to come off then you can use sandpaper.

3. Once the paint/varnish is removed make sure the surface of the table is very clean. No debris should be on it.

4. Now it's time to paint. Add one layer of paint at a time. Let it dry before you add the next layer. Keep adding paint until you get the desired look.

5. Finally the protective layer. This is optional. If you want to add an additional layer of protection against damage you can add a clear coat protectant. This is up to you.

That's all there is to it!
