The primary purpose of corporate event halls is to bring people together in a comfortable yet professional setting. These event spaces need to create an atmosphere where attendees are encouraged to network, collaborate, and learn from each other.
The look and feel of your event can make or break its success. Here are 5 tips to guide you in furnishing and decorating your corporate event hall in a way that would captivate guests and spark lasting impressions. At Desert River, we also help coordinate event lighting and furniture for rent in Dubai.
5 Tips on Furnishing Corporate Event Halls
1. Define Event Objectives and Theme
For instance, product launches and conferences could have a modern and industrial theme to set the tone for innovation. You can strike the balance for sophistication and edginess with black and white sofas along with oil drum tables. On the other hand, if you’re setting up your corporate event hall for an awarding ceremony, fund-raising gala, or holiday party, consider lavish decor with gold accents like our Queen of Love lounge chair.
2. Build a Stage
Every space needs a focal point. In the case of corporate event halls, you can build a stage to direct people's attention to the speaker, presentation, or performance. On some occasions, platforms like our LED cube can work as an alternative to a stage.
Key components of stages in corporate event halls will include lecterns for hosts and presenters, backdrops, and screens for digital presentations. For panel discussions, we also suggest setting up sofas or armchairs along with coffee tables on stage.
3. Prioritise Comfort
Prioritising guest comfort throughout your event will help minimise distractions. To maximise the space of your corporate event halls for seminars and workshops, we recommend our Loft collection of tables and chairs. These sleek metal chairs allow guests to comfortably sit in an upright position and remain attentive to the speaker or programme, while the matching tables convert the space into a dining or activity area.
For upscale corporate event halls, consider arranging for cosy lounge chairs with dedicated side tables and table lights for a more luxurious experience. You can also exude subtle elegance with minimalist furniture like our Brunch high tables and James white bar stools.
4. Create Engaging Layouts
The layout of your corporate event hall must facilitate movement and interactions among guests. Engaging event layouts allow you to manage foot traffic and are straightforward enough for guests to understand and follow. Moreover, it gives way to efficient space utilisation, so your corporate event hall is neither cramped nor empty.
Creating different zones in your corporate event hall enables you to designate areas that support specific activities. We advise you to take advantage of room dividers and get creative with various seating options. For receptions and lobbies, cocktail tables and bar stools are appropriate, as lounge sets where guests can relax and mingle are ideal for amenity decks with bars or as an extension of the dining area.
5. Incorporate Impactful Lighting
Lighting projects the mood and atmosphere of your corporate event hall. We encourage you to incorporate impactful lighting with lit furniture that reflects either your company or event theme colours.
We have the Hollywood floor lamp to shine a spotlight on people or your products. You can also decorate your corporate event hall with statement lighting like the Cucun floor lamp.
