Furnishings for Summer and Autumn Events: Style, Functionality and Current Trends

From the radiant elegance of open-air events to the intimate charm of autumn venues, furnishings play a key role in creating a memorable experience. With the arrival of the most vibrant season for weddings, corporate dinners, and outdoor celebrations, it’s the perfect moment to draw inspiration from the latest trends and choose solutions that combine style, functionality, and personality.

Colors, materials and shapes: what current trends are telling us

Throughout summer and early autumn 2025, the undisputed stars of event decor will be natural materials, earthy tones, and carefully balanced contrasts between matte finishes and metallic accents. Light wood, rattan, raw textiles, and tactile textures are emerging as the go-to choices to create elegant yet relaxed atmospheres.

The color palette embraces sage green, beige, terracotta, and warm brown, evoking a connection to nature and fitting perfectly into both lush summer settings and the enveloping tones of autumn events.

Seating and tables: the stars of the show

Summer brings a desire for togetherness, and banquet tables or solid wood tables become the focal point for dinners and receptions. To complement them, designer chairs made of wood, metal or natural rope offer a stylish and comfortable choice.

For lounge areas and chill-out corners, the trend continues with modular sofas, linen poufs, low armchairs, and unfinished wood accents—perfect for creating cozy spots to relax between toasts.

Lighting and decorative accents

As the days grow longer and evenings take center stage, lighting becomes a defining element. Hanging lanterns, industrial-style floor lamps, warm string lights, and scented candles all contribute to crafting a refined and inviting atmosphere.

To complete the setting, you can’t go without glass or ceramic vases, linen tablecloths, coordinated tableware, and small details that reflect the chosen theme—be it the sea, nature, art, autumn colors, or any other source of inspiration.
