Five Ways Modular Furniture Will Bring Your Event to Life

Sharon Carter
October 4, 2016

There are many moving pieces to consider when designing an event, including color palettes, themes, table settings, and decor. But furniture is another impactful way to bring events to life. When used creatively, furniture configurations can serve as the perfect accent or statement piece to make events feel inviting and comfortable while complementing and showcasing the venue.

Modular furniture is an easy, effective way to incorporate furniture into an event, and it's offered in a variety of interchangeable pieces that combine seamlessly. This helps to give events a completely unique custom look.

Bring events to the next level with furniture using these five tips:

1. Get the most out of an event space with custom configurations. Creating furniture layouts custom to a unique event space is a great way to highlight the space or make use of areas that might otherwise go unused such as tight corners or around columns. Modular furniture, like Party Rental Ltd.'s Metro Collection, is perfect for this since the pieces come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and heights that mix and match perfectly.

2. Repurpose furniture configurations throughout an event. Because the modular furniture pieces are lightweight, easy to move, and can be combined in a nearly endless number of ways, the room can be set one way for cocktail hour then rearranged using the same pieces for the after party. This keeps the room design new and fresh without having to store and swap out an entirely different set of seating options.

3. Use furniture to divide raw space into defined areas.  Working with large, open event spaces can sometimes be daunting; the event can feel small or disorganized within a large area. Using furniture to break the space up into sections helps to create a sense of intimacy and develops a natural flow for the event.

4. Bring the lounge feel outdoors, or bring the outdoors inside with resin wicker pieces. If you're looking to create a relaxing lounge in an outdoor space but feel that traditional leather lounge pieces might feel too heavy, a resin wicker modular furniture collection, like Party Rental Ltd.'s Somerset Collection, is a perfect alternative.  You'll still have the flexibility to create custom configurations but in a more relaxed style. The resin wicker pieces can also be used to bring warm-weather vibes to an indoor event, even if it's snowing outside!


5. Incorporate colorful accessories and decor into furniture designs. Neutral furniture pieces act as the perfect backdrop for a variety of colorful accessories, including lively printed throw pillows and illuminated end tables like Party Rental Ltd.'s glow cubes, so planners can weave in an event's branding with the decor theme right from the beginning.
