Crafted for Character: Designing the Ultimate Industrial-Style Bar
Create a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes your customers feel at home and invites them to stay longer. Ambience and comfort is key to designing a space that produces that cosy feeling, blend dim- mellow lighting with natural materials, soft fabrics and rich textures.
Read on to find out how you can get the look with our Blue City range, using exposed steel, reclaimed wood, and vintage touches set the stage for a space that feels rugged, refined, and unmistakably urban.
Create a bar experience that's both edgy and inviting
Step into a space where industrial charm meets rustic warmth. This bar design blends raw, tactile materials with refined craftsmanship - from the iron-framed shelving and metal barstools to the weathered wood panels that give the bar its grounded, inviting character.
It's a space that celebrates craftsmanship, simplicity, and the art of unwinding in style, with statement features like our wall-mounted wine racks, vintage signage and the soft golden glow cast by the exposed pendant bulbs, all set against rich wood textures and deep-toned walls that offer a sense of heritage and sophistication.
Assemble a warm and inviting place for customers to relax in
The design elements to consider for that cosy atmosphere:
Lighting - Mix accent lamps with warm-toned over head lighting to create a ambient glow that doesn't over power the space
Colour pallete - Warm neutrals and natural materials set against darker wall shades or exposed brick facades
Comfortable seating - Varied and layered, using a combination of bar stools, armchairs, in luxurious materials like leather or velvet
Acoustics - Design intimate spaces (or the allusion of them) that don't echo, with minimal background noise
Lay out and flow - Abandon rigid layouts for a more eclectic style that offers enclosed seating spaces and cosy corners
Personal touches and uniqueness - Vintage chalkboard menus, one of a kind reclaimed furniture pieces and quirky display touches to reflect your brand's story, creating that connnection of your local hang-out that has more character than your average high-street chain
