Easy ways to refresh your café or restaurant on a budget
Freshening up your business does not have to a be daunting or expensive task. Bold, patterned textiles and cosy lighting help you create inviting outdoor areas, while fresh flowers and art supplies for the little ones, will create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone.
Add comfort and style with textiles
Colourful textiles are an affordable way to create an inviting space for your customers to lounge for hours. Mix bold patterned cushions with outdoor rugs to enhance that optimistic summer vibe and soft throws for when the sun sets and the chill kicks in.
Set the mood with light and sound
Whether you have outdoor or indoor seating (or both!), nothing sets the mood quite like cosy lighting. LED lighting chains are a great way to achieve an impact without spending big. If you want to take it up a notch, why not combine lighting and music with an outdoor speaker lamp?
Fresh flowers for a fresh dining experience
Fresh flowers are a natural mood enhancer. Why not create a centerpiece on each table using a decorative vase. It will send signals to your customers that you care about them (and your business).
Something to keep the little ones entertained
No one deserves to unwind and take a break more than parents with small children. By placing art supplies like pens, pencils and pads on tables, you not only foster a serene and welcoming atmosphere, but you also encourage creativity and fun. Everyone wins.
Commission a local artist
A great way to keep your décor alive is to outsource it to local, up-and-coming creatives. If you aren’t a professional hanger of art, an affordable display shelf will be enough to transform the entire vibe of your place and give your customers a reason to keep coming back.
Add some colour to your table settings
You can create a sense of seasonality with your table settings by replacing a few small items. Colourful drinking glasses or napkins will make an otherwise neutral table setting pop.
