Commercial Outdoor Furniture – Its Purpose

Before you jump in and start purchasing and ordering a wide range of outdoor furniture from our bespoke furniture makers in Devon, it’s important first to understand what space you want to furnish and the purpose of that space.

Whether you’re looking to furnish an outside pub garden, cafe seating area, hotel veranda or wedding venue, there are several things you must consider when choosing your commercial outdoor furniture, including:

Space available – how many benches, tables and seats can fit in your outdoor space, this will help you source how many you will need
Aesthetic – does your business have a specific aesthetic you want to keep to, ie traditional country pub with lots of timber and wooden furniture, or a slightly more industrial feel with steel furnishings? Please note that your outdoor space and furniture should be a seamless transition from the inside and should fit with your branding and your image
Durability – how protected is your outdoor space from the elements? As well as having to accommodate 100s of drinks, food and people, your outdoor furniture will also be subjected to the elements
Functionality – are you looking for furniture where families and friends can dine together, sit comfortably or lounge? The intended use of furniture can then help you choose your final product and design
Comfort – comfort is key, if your furniture isn’t comfortable, the likelihood of your guests staying for long, or even returning can be affected. Ensuring all of your outdoor furniture is comfortable, inviting and enjoyable is crucial

Common Mistakes When Choosing Commercial Furniture

While we know that your outdoor furniture may only be used and enjoyed for a few months of the year, it’s important to not skimp on it. Cheap outdoor furniture may not be comfortable, durable or aesthetically pleasing.

Unfortunately, many businesses tend to make some common and costly mistakes when choosing their summer furniture, including:

Forfeiting quality by purchasing cheap furniture made using poor materials
Ignoring the need for weather-resistant materials
Not taking comfort and practicality into consideration
Not correctly measuring the space and furniture for the space

When purchasing garden furniture for your business, it is important to find a balance between cost, size, practicality and comfort. This helps to ensure not only that you get the best product for your money, but also that your patrons will be able to enjoy your outdoor space.
