Lounge Areas

In 2013, incorporating a unique lounge area is a must! This is another chance for you to get creative with fun textures, patterns and materials. Every lounge does not have to include plush white couches. Find something that uniquely communicates your theme and will create a fun atmosphere for guests to have an intimate conversation or just kick back and relax after dancing.
