When finding the best ways to create a down home ambience
for your bar or restaurant, there are several factors that needs to be put into
consideration. Here are some points to be noted:
The ambience focusses on targeting people who wants to
“eat big”
But what about the furniture? In majority of the cases,
you will find the furniture to be simple wooden chairs and tables with a dark
finish. In fact, the best restaurants in Darlinghurst sets
a dark mode that is suited towards people with "common" taste pallet
who prefers to eat big. By eating big, I mean to say that they want to have a night
on the town and have a good meal. On an average, a person wants to spend his
money at a fancy steak house first before going for the best ones in
Darlinghurst. For this reason alone, steak houses are so popular. They are
not intimidating whatsoever. After all, what red blooded American doesn't like
steak?
But getting back to the furniture, go to any steak house
in your city or town and you'll see what I mean. Wooden tables, wooden chairs,
wooden everything.
Go for hardwood furniture with darker colours
If you want to spend a bit more money and include some
nice upholstering on your furniture, ensure you stick with darker colours. The
last thing you want is to have a steak house that looks like it was attacked by
the Easter bunny. Instead, go for furniture made of hardwood materials
collected from woods of mahogany and oak. If you do not have any control over
the type of finishes required, go dark.
However, if you don't want any hardcore wooden materials
and instead want something lighter instead, I recommend you opt for bamboo.
Bamboo is a very strong wood which is also very light, both in colour and in
weight. But aside from that, bamboo is just plain cool.
Focus on setting darker mood and strong aesthetics
While yes, it may be off putting to some of the meat and
potatoes crowd, it surely turns it into the best restaurant in Darlinghurst.
Generally speaking, any excuses that you make regarding your bar or restaurant and
that doesn't have to deal with finding discarded body parts in the food is an
opportunity for good publicity.
If you're feeling confident about making a couple of extra
dollars to throw at your furniture budget, you could opt for some fancy metal
stuffs. Shiny chrome, everybody likes shiny chrome! Try picturing the scene, customers
walks into your steak house to a world of surprise, which by the way is looking
perfectly normal from the outside. When they walk inside, they hear loud techno
music, see flashing lights and reflections from all the chrome table tops and
furniture!
