Level Up your Lounge Furniture
Our lounge furniture is great for creating cosy chill out corners at your event and our range of sofas are a practical yet stunning seating option for this. 9 times out of 10 our clients looking to hire clusters of furniture will choose to hire a sofa alongside our other seating options; but how do you level up a pallet or chesterfield sofa so they don’t look sparse or lost in the space? It’s vital to ensure it is accessorised to complete the look and really make the most of your furniture hire. Pallet sofas can be a great blank canvas to easily dress up and they’re so adaptable to work to your event theme. We have plenty of extras available to hire with your sofas, so here are a few key accessories our stylists would recommend.
SOFT FURNISHINGS
Scatter cushions and throws are essential when accessorising your furniture. They are a way to easily introduce colours from your events colour scheme and you can also choose tones that complement each other well. Mix textures together such as fur and velvet to add a luxurious feel and contrast to your décor. They don’t have to be used just for aesthetics either, they also have a practical use by keeping your guests warm and cosy in cooler months.

RUGS
Rugs can soften a lounge area, adding a homely and sometimes quirky feel to your event. Our traditional rugs are a popular choice as they suit many different styles and themes from boho to Moroccan and even a traditional Christmas or ski lodge theme. They are available to hire in 5 different colours and are often hired alongside each other to create an eclectic mix of colours and patterns.
Our jute & beige woven rugs are also perfect for boho themed events, as well as beach, tropical, jungle, safari, or oriental themed events.
PLANTS & FOLIAGE
Foliage can completely transform a venue by adding another dimension to the décor. Choose different sizes and styles and place beside or behind the sofas. Our 6ft, 3m or 4m canopy trees would work best next to furniture clusters. We have a large range of artificial trees available to hire including kentia palms, palm trees and ficus trees which are some of our most popular styles. Our lemon, orange & bougainvillea trees are a fab way to inject some vibrant colour and a Mediterranean feel to your event.
COFFEE TABLES
These are essential for guests to rest their drinks on however you can also use them as an opportunity to stage smaller props on such as candles, lanterns and plants.
LAMPS, LANTERNS & CANDLES
Lighting can be the finishing touch to your venue décor completing the overall look. It creates a soft, warm light, adding to the atmosphere and ambience of your event. Position your furniture close to power points for lamps so you don’t have to conceal extension cables. Our canon tripod lamps are a popular choice that work well with all our traditional furniture range.
A mixture of glass vases in varying sizes with pillar candles will make for a very lovely decor choice for neutral aesthetics
