A banquet hall must necessarily meet expectations of all those taking part in an important event: The ones being celebrated, the organizers, the guests. More than every other environment, the room the room hosting the reception, must become a special place, that impresses for the harmony of the spaces and the originality of the aesthetic solutions.
It doesn't have to be a huge hall or luxuriously furnished: with the most appropriate items and light system, it can become an elegant and refined environment, or warm and cozy, suitable for every circumstance.
The walls
A banquet hall must be perfectly functional ad reflect the style of the facility and the personality of its owners or managers, starting from the lining of the walls.
You can apply a wallpaper with the classical tone-on-tone decoration patterns, otherwise, to give the sensation of greater depth of space, you can choose drawings like forests, flowery fields, or other natural scenarios.
The most trendy alternatives are the stabilized cork panels, bricks and real flagstones decorations, or their cheaper and easier to apply resin imitations. They are ideal to cover an entire wall or embellish only some corners.
Tables, chairs and other seats
The furniture for a banquet hall like chairs, tables, little sofas or other kind of seat, must provide comfort and safety for the guests and be quite good looking, appropriate to the overall appearance of the room.
So, you must choose professional furniture, that can cope with everyday use, and of proper dimensions to maximize the capacity, keeping all the freedom of movement of guests and personnel.
Moreover, remember to match the style of the facility: modern and informal, or classic and refined. In any case, always choose the simplest design as possible: a wooden chair full of carvings is hard to keep clean. For the same reason, choose stain-resistant or washable linings.
Plants and flowers
Your banquet hall will be much more beautiful if you'll integrate vases with plants and flowers matching the style of the walls and the furnishing. Moreover, all the plants have a beneficial effect on human body, as they purify the air and help to relax.
You can choose exotic plants or favour the local vegetation to give your room a more simpler and familiar appearance.
Outdoor spaces
An open-air reception offers many possibilities, but it is very important that everything is in tune with the venue: a terrace by the sea, courtyard of a farm, or the garden of a classical location will require very different furniture item.
Always keep in mind the final result: for instance, to enhance a rustic environment like a farmhouse you must use shapes and colours from the world of nature, while a weel-kept loan will need sober and discrete lines, both classical or modern.
The light system
If you think than any system can be ok because it only matters to light up the darkest areas, you are wrong! Choosing the proper light is one of the most important issues to properly set up any kind of banquet hall.
For instance, candles and little lanterns will be perfect to create a romantic atmosphere and intensity and colour changing led lights will emphasize the various moment of the reception. Last but not least, some light spots in the garden to enhance in a balanced way the vegetation and the architectural characteristics, will make your location unique and inimitable.
