Unique Lounges – Perfect For Any Event
January 20th, 2010One of the most popular trends in event design is to incorporate lounge areas into the party. These areas often include plush sofas, comfortable chairs, tables and fun accessories. I love to keep these areas a surprise and to reveal them just before the dancing starts as a way to help the party evolve and to remain exciting for the guests.
One of my favorite vendors for event lounge furniture is CORT Event Furnishings. They have an innovative line of new light up tables called Luna Lighting. The items in this line offer a unique way to add lighting features into usable surfaces within the lounge – so cool!
The events below were created for a wedding at The Milwaukee Art Museum, a wedding at Bartolotta’s Lake Park Bistro and the Best of Milwaukee party for the Shepherd Express.

In this lounge design, I used throw pillows from CB2 and Pier 1 Imports to add color and texture to the furniture. Adding a splash of color with pillows can dramatically change the style and feel of a lounge setting.

I also love to use area rungs, throw blankets and unique accent tables to customize lounge areas. In this case, these special items were borrowed from the client’s home. Eventhough it was outdoors, it truly felt as though you were sitting in their living room!

This style is definitely one of the most popular trends in event design currently. Guests love the feel of a nightclub environment and the right lounge furniture, lighting and accessories will create that vibe. Add music and – viola – you have a hip and trendy club style lounge!
