If you are looking for ways to make sure the next event you are planning stands out and your guests remember it, there are various things you can do. You can spend a little extra on the food and refreshments, make sure there is high-quality entertainment and utilise technology. A simpler way you could really elevate your event to memorable status, though, could be by incorporating the use of sofas.

Generally, when you think about events in hired spaces and the temporary seating for them, what comes to mind? Durable and reliable metallic, wooden and plastic chairs? Although these are practical, affordable and do the job they were designed for, they are not ideal if you want your guests to feel relaxed.

Sofas, on the other hand, may have been something you felt only had place in the home or a waiting room. In the following post though, we want to show you how they can be used to take your event to the next level.

Comfortable Seating

Plastic, wooden and metallic chairs, particularly those without any padding are very unforgiving and incredibly uncomfortable. Especially if your guests are expected to stay seated at various points throughout your event. The inclusion of sofas, even if it’s just in addition to more conventional seating options, can help provide a much-needed level of comfort that your guests will appreciate greatly.

Elegant Seating

If you want to create a certain atmosphere for your event, you need to consider all elements. Not just the lighting, but also the seating too. The use of comfortable leather sofas can instantly elevate the whole feeling of the event.

Social Seating

Where do you most commonly find sofas? That’s right, in our homes and in the family/shared living spaces in particular. That’s because, as well as comfortable, they also make great seating options for socialising. Just as you would with people visiting your home, why not consider setting up an area at your event with some hired sofas, that is designated as the lounge area.

As well as private functions, this can be used effectively for business conferences and other events where guests will want to network. Rather than standing at display stands or sitting at the bar on those awkward stools you have set up, having an area specifically set aside for networking with sofas, gives people a space they can sit down and have a more meaningful discussion about business.

Space-Saving

Sofas are a great way to provide seating for more people, while conserving space. Unlike more traditional stackable chairs, that you need to consider the dimensions of the frame, sofas are a complete unit. A collection of three-seater sofas, because each individual seat section is not separated by a frame, will generally take up less space than individual chairs, meaning you can make better use of your event space.

So, if you are looking to make your next event, whether it’s for business or pleasure, the addition of comfortable and classy sofas is one sure-fire way to do it.
