1. Choose a style that matches your interior
Before adding a branded barrel piece, it’s essential to determine how it fits within the style and ambiance of your space. Full-colour barrel furniture can be designed in countless ways, making it suitable for various interiors – from industrial and modern to classic and playful.
What to consider:
- Color Usage: Ensure the barrel furniture’s colors complement your existing palette for a harmonious look, or opt for a contrasting color to make a bold statement.
- Finish: Depending on the desired look, choose between a matte or glossy finish. Glossy surfaces reflect light and create a luxurious feel, while matte finishes provide a subtle and modern appearance.
- Materials: A barrel with a Barnwood or Pinewood tabletop fits perfectly in a warm, rustic setting. For a sleek, industrial look, a Full-Colour or Black tabletop made of compressed wood is a better choice.
- For outdoor use, Barnwood tabletops are ideal due to their durability and weather-resistant properties.
2. Functional uses of branded barrels
A branded barrel is not only a visual branding element but also a functional addition to your space. The versatility of these furniture pieces makes them suitable for various applications.
Popular Uses:
- Table Barrels – Ideal as standing tables in hospitality venues, corporate lounges, and event spaces. They provide a large, customizable surface that combines branding with practical use.
- Seat Barrels – Comfortable and compact seating options for waiting areas, offices, or patios. Some designs even offer additional storage space.
- BBQ Barrels – Perfect for outdoor areas, food trucks, and events. They serve as both a visual highlight and a functional barbecue or serving station.
- POS Barrels – Effective brand presentation for retail, trade shows, and pop-up stores. With 360-degree printing, your brand stands out from every angle.
3. Balancing branding and interior design
A branded barrel should not only attract attention but also blend seamlessly with the rest of your decor. Excessive branding can be overwhelming, while subtle branding creates a refined look.
Tips for stylish branding integration:
- Use branding as an accent – Opt for a subtle logo, pattern, or graphic element instead of full coverage. This ensures a premium look without being too loud.
- Combine with neutral furniture – A full-colour tabletop stands out beautifully when paired with neutral chairs or a minimalist setting.
- Ensure visual cohesion – Incorporate colors or style elements from the barrel furniture into accessories like cushions, lighting, or decorative objects.
A well-balanced integration of branding and interior design ensures that the furniture serves not just as a marketing tool but also as a stylish addition to the space.
4. Inspiring real-life applications
More and more businesses are discovering the power of branded barrel furniture. Here are some inspiring examples:
- Hospitality: A beach club used full-colour Table Barrels with tropical prints on their terrace, enhancing the summer atmosphere and offering guests a unique branded experience.
- Retail: An exclusive whiskey brand placed POS Barrels in liquor stores and bars, drawing extra attention to their products while seamlessly blending with the warm, wooden interior.
- Office Environment: A creative marketing agency integrated Seat Barrels with their branding in the reception area, immediately immersing clients in their brand identity.
- Events & Festivals: Durable Table Barrels with LFGB-certified full-colour tops were used as standing tables, resistant to heavy use and weather conditions.
This versatility makes branded barrel furniture a smart choice for businesses looking to combine style with functionality.
5. Sustainability and flexibility
Beyond branding and design, branded barrel furniture also offers a sustainable solution. The materials are robust and long-lasting, making them an eco-friendly alternative to disposable items and temporary branding materials.
Why Are They Sustainable?
- Made from FSC-Certified wood – Sustainably sourced materials, such as Barnwood and Pinewood, contribute to responsible forest management.
- XD Surface® technology – The Full-Colour and Black tabletops feature a scratch- and heat-resistant coating, significantly extending their lifespan.
- Weatherproof and easy to maintain – The materials are resistant to UV light, moisture, and stains, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
- Easily reprinted – An existing barrel can be rebranded with a new print, allowing businesses to adapt flexibly to seasonal campaigns or evolving branding.
By investing in branded barrel furniture, businesses not only create a visual impact but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
Conclusion: the perfect blend of branding and functionality
