Choose the Right Furniture for Your Beachside Event

Picture this: a balmy breeze, the soothing sound of waves, and the golden glow of the sun setting over the horizon – the perfect setting for your dream beachside event in Melbourne. But before you kick off your shoes and dive into the planning process, there’s a lot to consider, especially when it comes to furnishing your coastal affair.

• Scouting the Ultimate Location:
  • Dive into Melbourne’s treasure trove of beachfront locales, scouting out spots that offer not only stunning views but also practical amenities.
  • Keep an eye out for any permits or regulations governing beachside events, ensuring a smooth sailing experience from planning to execution.

• Setting the Stage with Furniture:
  • Let nature be your muse as you handpick furniture that seamlessly blends with the coastal landscape while prioritising comfort and functionality such as our Rattan lounges.
  • Opt for durable materials like weather-resistant wicker, teak, or aluminium that can withstand the sun, sand, and occasional splash.
  • Mix and match seating options – from lounge chairs to deck chairs – to cater to diverse preferences and create inviting spaces for relaxation and conversation.
  • Don’t skimp on shade! Provide ample cover with umbrellas and marquees to shield guests from the sun’s rays without sacrificing the seaside ambience.
  • Infuse your setup with pops of colour and texture using throw pillows, blankets, and rugs that echo the hues of the ocean and sky.
    
    
• Crafting Cosy Lounge Areas:
  • Designate intimate nooks and lounging zones where guests can unwind and soak in the laid-back beach vibe.
  • Arrange modular furniture pieces in inviting clusters, encouraging mingling and fostering connections amidst the scenic backdrop.
  • Add a touch of whimsy with oversized floor cushions, poufs, and bean bags, inviting guests to kick off their shoes and sink into relaxation mode.
    
    
• Prioritising Practicality:
  • Plan ahead to ensure ample seating and table space for dining, mingling, and enjoying beachside activities.
  • Collaborate closely with your furniture hire partner to coordinate delivery, setup, and removal, alleviating stress and ensuring a seamless experience for you and your guests.
  • Consider the needs of all attendees, including those with mobility challenges, by offering accessible seating options and designated rest areas.
  • Enhance the experience with practical amenities like portable bars, beverage stations, and chill-out zones stocked with refreshing drinks and snacks.
    
    
• Adding Personal Flourishes:
  • Infuse your event with personality by incorporating themed decor, personalised signage, and thoughtful touches that reflect your unique style and vision.
  • Embrace the coastal charm with nautical accents, seashell centerpieces, and driftwood accents that capture the spirit of the sea.
  • Illuminate the evening with soft string lights, lanterns, or bonfires, casting a warm and inviting glow over your beachside soiree.
