There’s nothing like enjoying a delicious meal with friends or family in a cozy atmosphere. Many will argue that the restaurant decor and comfort are just as important as the food and service. Whether people notice it or not, at the heart of both style and comfort are the chairs customers sit on throughout their dining experience. Choosing the right restaurant chairs is therefore fundamental for restaurateurs. Not only must HORECA chairs be comfortable and durable, but they should also align perfectly with the overall restaurant theme. Below are some key tips to help you select the perfect chairs for your restaurant.

Which restaurant chair should you choose for your space?

Before making a decision, ask yourself the right questions:
What is the size of your dining area? Will it be used exclusively for meals? If you also have a bar or a lounge area, consider furnishing those spaces differently from your main dining room to create a richer and more dynamic atmosphere.

Many restaurant owners aim to maximize seating capacity. To achieve this, choosing armless chairs allows for tighter arrangements. Take, for example, the Pika chair, made with a wooden seat and backrest combined with a steel frame. This industrial-style chair would fit perfectly in a trendy burger restaurant.

What material should you choose for your restaurant chairs?

Not only should your CHR chairs be durable and high-quality, but they must also be easy to clean. For quick daily maintenance, opt for furniture that resists stains.

Restaurants are often subject to accidents — a spilled glass of wine, for instance. Fortunately, many modern restaurant chairs combine practicality with style! Take our elegant plastic chair Lou, which is effortless to clean while still offering chic elegance thanks to its minimalist design and modern materials.

How to choose restaurant chairs that match your decor?

The interior design of your restaurant is crucial in shaping the customer experience. The aesthetic of your dining space influences guests from the moment they walk through the door until the last bite of their meal.

Make sure all your furniture aligns with your restaurant concept. Consistency in style, color, and texture of your chairs is essential to create a harmonious dining room design.

For example, you would not want to place Scandinavian chairs in a fine dining gourmet restaurant.

As you can see, the choice of your restaurant chairs has a greater impact than you might imagine.

To select the perfect chair for your restaurant, don’t forget to consider: the material, the available space, and the interior design.

The key is to always remember the image you want to project to your clientele.
