As an event furniture hire company, we know more than most that trends and fashions change on a regular basis. What is on-trend one year can be out of favour the next year. For big annual events, many event professionals look to freshen things up each year with different colours, different layouts and so on. On the other hand, others might stick to a tried and tested formula!
Before we get into looking at the furniture hire trends for 2024, it’s worth considering that the classics still remain popular. The limewash Chiavari chair, the 6ft round banqueting table and the rectangular trestle table still remain the most popular, as they have done for years. Despite these ever-changing fashions, these event furniture rental items are still as popular as ever!
So, without further ado, let’s have a look at the trends in 2024 – what’s hot and what’s not when it comes to event furniture hire!
Without doubt, it’s true to say that you will want your event venue to look AMAZING when guests arrive. That WOW factor is worth its weight in gold, and really sets the tone for the whole event. OK, so you can also achieve this by using toned-down, more neutral colours, but in 2024, coloured furniture is leading the way, and the more vibrant the better, it seems.
Why choose a black Rio dining chair when you can have olive green, purple or blue? Why have black, ivory or gold table linen when you go for forest green, cerise pink and other options? Eye-catching is the order of the day – however, do tread with caution. Colours that are similar, but that don’t exactly match, can have a slightly negative effect on the overall finish. Either go matching or go contrasting, one or the other.
In 2024, it seems that the industrial look is as popular as ever. Think of corporate hospitality events in a warehouse-style venue. Central London is full of these historic, unique and unusual venues which, when furnished with industrial furniture hire, can look amazing. We’re talking about Tolix chairs with scaffold dining tables, Tolix stools with matching Tolix poseur tables or scaffold high tables, and so on. Base metal furniture is very-much on-trend in 2024.
For ultra-modern events in 2024, it’s worth considering ghost furniture hire as an option, in the way that many event professionals are doing this year. Made in transparent polycarbonate to ensure a robust piece of furniture (even though it’s see-through), this type of luxury furniture for hire is positioned at a slightly higher price-point than standard furniture, but for good reason. We’ve already spoken about the importance of achieving the WOW factor – ghost chairs such as the ghost Chiavari chair is a great example of this, and something that is proving to be extremely popular in 2024, and no doubt beyond.
We’ve definitely seen a move towards ‘the more distressed the furniture, the better’, which is something that we never thought we would see! OK, limewash Chiavari chairs have always been popular, but a piece of furniture can have the distressed look, yet still be professional looking. Other examples of popular items that fall into this category include our driftwood bistro tables, vintage trestle tables, antique goldwash Chiavari chairs and our blackwash Chiavari chairs, all of which bring something different to the party.

Of course, in 2024, we live in an ever-changing technological world, and furniture hire has to move with the times. There’s definitely a demand for USB-enabled furniture such as poseur tables with USB ports or in-built smartphone chargers, providing a convenient place for visitors to charge their mobile devices ‘on-the-run’. Moving with the times is an important challenge for all furniture hire companies, to ensure that their clients are receiving the very best furniture hire, not only in terms of the look, but also the functionality.
