Think of events, and you’re probably already thinking of a wedding, gala dinner or corporate hospitality event, adorned with limewash Chiavari chairs and round banqueting tables, and maybe not the short term furniture hire items that we’re going to look at in more detail below.
Yes, the event hire sector has its ‘favourites’, with the Chiavari chair and round banquet table the two most obvious ones. However, you shouldn’t fall into the trap of thinking that you SHOULD use these event furniture hire items, just because that’s what has always been done.
The best, creative event professionals are those who dare to be different, using colourful, out-of-the-ordinary furniture rental pieces that might not be expected, and unusual pieces of short term furniture hire that will mean their event lives long in the memory.
In today’s blog article here at Event Hire UK, we’re having a look at some of the more unusual short term furniture hire items for temporary events that you might not have thought of, but are regularly out on hire nationwide. Our range of event furniture rental is extensive, offering something for everyone at different price points, to suit all tastes and budgets. From standard to luxury, and from ‘the norm’ through to the unusual, we have the complete range of event equipment hire, ready for you to choose from.
So, let’s have a look at some examples from our range…
Often an afterthought, coffee tables are an example of short term event furniture hire that is understated yet versatile, functional and professionally styled, and suitable for any event setting or occasion. Think of a corporate hospitality chalet reception, a hotel reception area, a wedding reception lounge or even an exhibition stand, and you get a feel for where a glass coffee table is suitable.
We’ve already mentioned that short term furniture hire isn’t necessarily obvious, and we’re pretty sure that coffee table hire wouldn’t be the first thing on your requirements list. However, especially if you are looking to furnish big event spaces with lounge furniture rental such as sofas and armchairs for instance, a coffee table helps to define the professional yet casual seating areas, and are available at fantastic prices.
Furthermore, it’s not just glass coffee tables that are available in our range, but also wooden coffee tables, rustic metal coffee tables and even scaffold coffee tables which use reclaimed timber and scaffolding poles as part of our drive towards reuse and recycle.
If it’s versatility you are looking for, then cube stool hire may well fit the bill for you. Cube stools are exactly that – cube shaped, with a faux leather, cushioned upholstery. You can either hire these individually, or in multiples, or together with sofas and armchairs.
We’re thinking of matching white cube stools with our Infiniti white leather sofas, for instance, providing a clean, crisp look and finish for any event setting. Again, this is an example of a piece of short term furniture hire for events which doesn’t get the recognition it deserves: Simple, affordable and a hassle-free seating option for any occasion!
When it comes to furnishing certain areas of your event, poseur tables and stools are the classic combo, as they are great for space-saving, and saving a few quid in your budget. As far as our range of event stool hire goes, our Rio stools have been the most popular since their introduction to our range back in 2019.
The Roma stool, however, offers simplicity of design, making it ideal for trade shows, exhibitions and other professional indoor events, and also has a gas lift adjustable height mechanism for additional comfort. OK, so stools for hire aren’t really made for long term seating, especially this one, as it doesn’t have a back, so think carefully as to where you can use them to good effect, as hiring in large numbers will certainly help you to save some money and, as they say, every little helps.
A relatively new addition to our range, which was added at the same as we introduced our Rio stools, is the Rio high table. This table is a world away from the traditional round banquet table or trestle table, which are wooden topped and need tablecloths.
The Rio high table is used with stools, and has a melamine top, so there is no need for a tablecloth. It is great for modern event informal dining and a great piece of short term furniture hire, often found behind the scenes are major sports event hospitality settings. This is a great option, well worth checking out if you haven’t already done so.
And last, but by no means least, our Chesterfield fabric sofa is an unusual piece of short term furniture hire, purely because not many event hire companies offer it. Traditionally, Chesterfield sofas have leather upholstery, but our fabric sofas have vibrant-coloured fabric finishes, meaning that they are both eye-catching and comfortable, making them ideal for corporate hospitality occasions, amongst many others. Yes, you’ll pay a small additional price to hire Chesterfield sofas, but we’re pretty sure that most event professionals will testify that it is money well spent.
