Summer Event Styling Tips: From Bold Colour Pops to New Classics, Here’s What’s Hot in Event Design This Season
As we dive into the warmer months, the events world is turning up the volume. Brighter colours, bolder statements, and even more considered event styling. Whether you’re planning a product launch, a summer party, or a stylish wedding, now’s the time to get inspired by the season’s top summer event trends. We’ve rounded up what’s landing on our radar (and flying off our shelves).
Burnt Orange, Bold Contrast
Warm, earthy tones take centre stage in this vibrant yet composed lounge setup. The burnt orange velvet seating adds richness and warmth, while black and yellow cushions provide a striking colour contrast. Gold legs and a sculptural black coffee table complete the look with modern flair.
Top pick: Our Amber Lush Sofa paired with Aria Coffee Tables makes a stunning centrepiece for lounge areas.
Black & Gold Balance
Step into a space where modern elegance meets understated luxury. This setup is all about clean silhouettes, metallic accents, and serene natural light. Black upholstered wire-frame chairs meet gold-finished bases, creating a striking contrast that feels both refined and effortless.
Try this: Pair Noir Armchairs with a sleek black Zen side table and a sculptural mini lamp to create a polished corner perfect for intimate chats or quiet reflection.
Modular Lounge Layouts
It’s not just about what you furnish, but how you bring it together. Today’s event spaces are embracing open, modular layouts with a sleek, urban edge. Think black velvet modulars, minimalist coffee tables, and bold industrial lighting — all set against raw architectural elements.
Top combo: Pair Black Modular Sofas with Docklands Coffee & Side Tables to create a sophisticated, flexible space that invites comfort and conversation.
Soft Pastels
We’re loving the unexpected mix of dusty pinks, sage greens and buttery yellows layered with deep charcoal or ink blue. It’s playful and contemporary, especially when set against natural textures like wood or rattan.
Best-sellers right now: Pink Velvet Paris Pouffe, Darkwood Crossback Chairs and Eames Chairs are all making frequent appearances in client mood boards.
Sunset Backdrops & Golden Hour Everything
There’s a real lean toward embracing natural light and showstopping views. Rooftops, courtyards and window-lined venues are in high demand, and furniture that complements the setting is key.
Perfect match: Go for warm-toned seating (like Amber Lush armchairs) and glass tables that let the light through and don’t fight with the view.
