With the warmer weather now well underway, now may be the perfect time for your bar to consider updating its interior design, allowing your guests to make the most of the summer months.
In the article below, our bar refurbishment experts at Lake Contracts will discuss the newest interior design trends for pubs and bars this summer, helping your business to update its look and create a space that you can be proud of.
Rustic Style Furniture
Having spent the majority of our time indoors over the past year, the introduction of more natural elements, such as plants and unique furniture pieces made from reclaimed wood, to your workspace may come as a welcome change to your customers and employees alike. This can be a great way to incorporate more of the outdoors into the design of your establishment, helping to foster a relaxed and refreshing atmosphere that will make your bar appear more inviting to potential customers.
The introduction of more unique and custom-built rustic furniture pieces to your interior design can also help your business to stand out from your competitors, making your design a great unique selling point.
Neutral Tones
Neutral tones are an essential for any colour palette and can help to ensure that your bar space does not become too overwhelming when it comes to bright and contrasting colours. However, while greys and cooler neutral tones may have been a staple within popular interior design trends within previous years, too much grey can actually work to make a space feel cold and even unwelcoming, which should be avoided within commercial settings such as pubs and bars.
Similarly, warmer tones such as beige and muted yellows can make a space feel too warm.
To avoid this, neutrals that fall in the middle of the colour spectrum are set to be a popular addition to commercial interior design trends, providing the perfect neutral option for use within your establishment.
Al Fresco Dining Spaces
With the coronavirus pandemic still impacting how we inhabit public spaces and commercial establishments, al fresco dining will continue to appeal to customers and bar owners alike. Not only will making the most of your outdoor areas allow your customers to enjoy the warmer weather this summer, but this is also a great way to encourage safer practices within your establishment and make social distancing a permanent part of your design.
Pandemic-Conscious Design
Following on from the use of outdoor spaces as Al Fresco dining areas to promote better safety in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, many restaurant and bar owners will be seen to step away from the temporary fixes such as Plexiglas barriers, instead looking for more permanent ways to incorporate Covid safety practices into their interior design.
Fostering an atmosphere that is safe, yet inviting to customers, will see bars everywhere optimising their layouts to best accommodate their patrons while avoiding overcrowding.
By making the most of the space that they have available, business owners will be able to bring better flexibility to the interior design of their establishment, creating a space that is not just safer, but smarter too.
There are a number of great ways to revamp your bar’s interior design this summer, helping to create a space that is inviting to customers, but also more conscious of today’s safer business practices.
