I want to hang a painting in my bar, but I don't know how to choose one...
I want to improve the atmosphere of my bar by decorating it with paintings!
We will show you 10 characteristics of a fashionable bar along with simulation photos of pictures hanging on the wall.
By seeing how they are actually displayed, it may be easier to imagine how they would look hanging in your own store.

So, what exactly are the characteristics of a fashionable bar?

(1) Decide on the concept before interior design

Bar interior design is a profound world.
There are as many ways to design a great interior as there are bars, but that means that each bar has its own unique concept, which is expressed in the form of interior design.

(2) Narrowing down the target demographic

Let's imagine the age range, gender, occupation, and composition of the bar's clientele.
Basically, bars are frequented by singles, so you should reserve counter seats.

The face of the bar, the counter, should be comfortable.

The placement of the counter, its line of sight, and its height are also important. The compatibility with chairs is also important.

4) Create a calm atmosphere with lighting

Indirect lighting is recommended as it eliminates the need for a bright light source that directly illuminates the room.

5) Don't forget to add personality to the back bar.

The back bar is a shelf behind the counter where bottles are lined up.
This is where the owner shows his skills. Create a splendid back bar by arranging many bottles that you are proud of.

(6) Utilize used or rented equipment

Although it depends on the concept of the store, it is not necessary to have everything used in the interior furnishings new.
Recently, many stylish items in good condition are available for sale as second-hand items, so it is recommended to use second-hand items.

7) Keep costs down for areas that cannot be seen by customers.

The interior of a bar does not need to be detailed to be stylish enough.
If the lighting is dimmed, the customer will not be able to see every detail. For example, under the counter, prioritize cost and ease of use over stylishness.

8) Do not combine many types of bars

Combining many types of bars will result in a bar design with an unclear target and concept.
For example, if you want to promote an authentic bar but create a casual atmosphere like an amusement bar, customers will be confused.

(9) Market price

The cost of interior work varies greatly depending on the scale of the property, location, and type (skeleton or unoccupied).
The market rate for bar interior construction costs is approximately 300,000-600,000 yen per tsubo for a skeleton property and 150,000-300,000 yen per tsubo for an unoccupied property.
If you are particular about the interior materials and design a high-end bar, the unit price per tsubo may be 500,000-1,000,000 yen.

(10) Create a sense of the extraordinary

By increasing the contrast between the wallpaper and the color scheme of the doors and counters, a space with a vivid, unusual feel can be created.
By decorating with paintings and photographs, the sense of dignity and stylishness will increase several notches.
