I recently realized that all the restaurants, bars, clubs, hotels and cafes around the country spend a lot of money choosing the right type of furniture to catch our eye but do their customers (we) actually care about the bar sofas, cafe stools, restaurant furniture or hotel furniture? I have to be honest here when I go out with my friends I don’t really notice all these things. The only things that I notice in the bar are drinks and women or in the restaurant the food and drinks again. But I have to admit that when I am visiting these places with my family I do care about the interior of the bar or a restaurant, I do look at the stools and other furniture, because I want to take them somewhere classy.
So I am wondering if it’s only me who notices these things while I am out with my family or is there someone else who notices the furniture and actually cares about where they want to take their family to eat? Recently I visited Trocadero in London and I was taken over by it’s interior, it was so beautifully done that I felt great to be there. I enjoyed their interior, the lounge where people can sit and chat without any loud music and the modern furniture they had.
I only started noticing these things after a very close friend of mine – who is opening a small hotel; came to me asking my advice on what sort of hotel stools and furniture he should get. I replied back who cares about the furniture just have clean rooms with big lounge that has a bar on it. But when we started the research on which furniture to get, I was totally shocked by how many people actually care about the furniture whether its for cafes, bars or hotels. Lots of restaurants, cafes, bars and hotels do spend a lot of money to find the right furniture which catches the eye of their customers (we). Even though my friend is only opening a small motel, the time and money he has spend on researching about the furniture is mind blowing. I really do hope this works for him and will be there when he needs help.
