Absolutely, darling! Let’s add some smooth transitions for a more engaging read.

Hello, fabulous friends! Today, we’re taking a nostalgic journey back to the start of 2024 when the “Unexpected Red Theory” made a bold entrance into the design world. This striking use of red not only captured attention but also harmoniously blended with diverse furniture styles and complementary colors.

First, the role of seating arrangements in bringing this theory to life cannot be overstated. Imagine plush, leather armchairs in a rich espresso hue, adorned with crimson throw pillows, inviting guests to relax and engage in conversation.

Moreover, the addition of statement pieces like a sleek, black marble bar or a sculptural metal side table adorned with a bold red vase can create captivating focal points.

While red is undoubtedly the star of this theory, it doesn’t steal the entire show. It pairs seamlessly with other colors, enhancing the visual appeal of event spaces. For a modern aesthetic, consider pairing red with shades of gray, black, and white. Alternatively, for a playful sense of whimsy, add vibrant pops of turquoise, emerald green, or mustard yellow alongside red.

The rise of the unexpected red theory has opened doors for event planners to push the boundaries of creativity. Incorporating bold red accents with carefully curated furniture pieces and complementary colors can transform your event spaces into vibrant environments.

Remember, darlings, you’re not alone on this creative journey. With CORT Events as your partner, you can rest assured that your event will be fresh and stylish. They stay ahead of the latest trends and offer an extensive range of event furniture rental and accessories to help bring your vision to life.

As we continue to explore innovative design trends, one question lingers: What unexpected color combinations will inspire the next wave of creativity in event planning? Only time will tell. Until then, trust CORT Events to keep your events vibrant, fresh, and absolutely fabulous.

Today, we’re focusing on the world of color, specifically the 2024 Pantone Color of the Year: Peach Fuzz. Inspired by the juicy, refreshing fruit, this hue is ideal for adding a touch of warmth and vitality to your events, no matter the season.

Peach Fuzz is more than just a color; it’s a mood, an energy, a feeling of joy and warmth that can elevate any event, from social gatherings to corporate events, trade shows, or exhibitions. Moreover, it’s a versatile hue that can be used in both subtle and bold ways, transforming furniture, décor, and accessories.

One way to incorporate Peach Fuzz into your event is through soft furnishings. For instance, CORT’s Brighton Sectional, available in white or beige, serves as a sophisticated backdrop, allowing you to introduce Peach Fuzz accents. You can personalize the sectional with a custom branded slipcover in Peach Fuzz or pair it with the Buffalo Rug that beautifully blends with peach tones.

For a pop of peachy delight, consider adding the Medley Pillow in Coral to your seating arrangements. And don’t overlook the impact of lighting. CORT’s LED Accent Light can bathe your event space in a warm, peach-colored glow, creating an inviting ambiance.

When it comes to color combinations, Peach Fuzz beautifully complements neutral tones like white, beige, and gray, creating a balanced and sophisticated palette. Consider using the Beige Velour Drape, which alone can be a great pairing with peach accents. Or, pair it with the LED accent light to create a peach-colored backdrop for a touch of glamour. So, darlings, let’s embrace the Peach Fuzz trend and create joyful, warm, and energetic atmospheres at our events. And remember, with CORT Events as your partner, your event will be fresh, timeless, and fabulous! Until next time, stay fabulous.

Let’s dive into the world of interior design where a delightful trend is taking center stage in 2024 – the reemergence of Earth tones, with brown leading the way. No longer stodgy or outdated, these hues are now the epitome of sophistication and warmth.

The comeback of Earth tones, particularly brown, can be traced back to their integration in more natural settings. It’s exciting to see designers redefine neutrals into more organic hues. Incorporating brown into exhibit house designs is an opportunity to create chic, inviting spaces.

Now, let’s explore the return of brown, understand why it’s “en vogue” again and provide tips on how to incorporate it into your designs.

Picture this – a gala event where the planner has masterfully used various shades of brown. Taupe tablecloths, chocolate-brown accents, and caramel-toned lighting intertwine to create an atmosphere that’s both sophisticated and inviting.

Now, let’s imagine a corporate event where natural wooden tables stand tall, chairs wrapped in varying shades of brown leather beckon, and beautiful centerpieces featuring earth-toned florals add a touch of nature’s elegance.

When it comes to textures, brown is a true chameleon, blending seamlessly with a variety of materials. Consider a rustic, open-air event with a mix of wood, leather, and fabric. You can enhance this look by incorporating pieces like CORT’s Taos Side Table with Barnwood Top, adding an earthy touch to the setting.

And here’s a tip, darling – lighting matters! Natural light brings out the best in brown, so try to plan your event during the day, or use warm lighting to mimic daylight. Also, don’t shy away from playing with metallic accents in gold or brass for a touch of glamor that contrasts beautifully with brown’s earthiness.

And finally, let’s not forget about accessories! Brown vases as centerpieces or a pop of brown with throw pillows on lounge furniture at a cocktail event can make a world of difference. Pair brown with pastel hues like blush pink or mint green for a fresh, modern look that’s absolutely delightful.

So, darlings, let’s embrace the brown trend and create inviting and elegant environments, whether it’s a chic exhibit house or a grand gala. And remember, with CORT Events as your partner, your event space will be as fresh, timeless, and fabulous as ever! Until next time, stay fabulous!

Hey everyone!  It’s your creative visionary, Steve Kemble, here to delve into the art of transforming event spaces using a versatile and timeless tool: drapery. Let this old favorite be your secret weapon this year.

CORT Events offers a wide range of furniture options that perfectly complement the elegance and versatility of drapes. Picture this: a luxurious lounge area nestled amidst the flowing fabric and sleek lines of the drape setup. CORT Events’ selection of sofas, chairs, and tables can transform any corner of your event space into a cozy and inviting seating area.

CORT Events offers a variety of stylish and functional tables that can be strategically placed throughout the drape design. Guests can gather around these tables, enjoying their drinks and engaging in lively conversations, all while being immersed in the timeless elegance created by the draped framework.

The key is to find the perfect balance between the versatility of drapes and the charm of well-curated furniture. CORT Events understands the importance of this balance, offering a wide selection of furniture that seamlessly integrates with the drape design.

Hey there, Sassies! It’s Steve Kemble, your event aficionado, here to share the latest trends in creating immersive event experiences. If you want to take your events to the next level in 2023, you can’t miss out on the magic of projection mapping!

Projection mapping allows you to transform ordinary surfaces into dynamic, visual spectacles. Imagine turning a blank wall into a vibrant canvas, projecting stunning visuals that captivate your audience. With projection mapping, you can transport your guests to different worlds, tell compelling stories, and create awe-inspiring moments.

And as I always say, no event is complete with furniture. But rather than playing things safe, why not take things a step further with a bit of personalization. This secret ingredient can set your events apart from the rest and it’s also where CORT Events can be a huge help. They offer a range of personalization options that allow you to transform any space into a reflection of your vision.

One item that caught my eye is the Posh Bar from CORT Events. This stunning piece adds a touch of modern elegance to any event while also being versatile. Its white acrylic panels can be easily branded, while the available customizable LED lighting allows you to match your event’s color scheme or create captivating lighting effects.

Another gem from their collection is the Endless Collection® in Serpentine. These versatile pieces can be arranged in various configurations to fit your event’s layout. Their sleek design and luxurious upholstery make it a stylish addition to any gathering.

And last, but certainly not least, let’s not forget about the power of details, my dear Sassies. Small accents can make a big impact. Consider incorporating decorative elements like plush pillows, statement lighting fixtures, and eye-catching centerpieces. These little touches add layers of charm and create an immersive experience that will leave your attendees captivated.

So, here’s to a future filled with extraordinary events that push the boundaries of innovation. Stay inspired, my darlings, and keep embracing the endless possibilities that technology and CORT Events brings to the world of event planning. Cheers to unforgettable experiences!

To make your event stand out, consider incorporating virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) experiences. Set up VR stations where attendees can transport themselves to exotic destinations, explore new products, or even take part in virtual team-building activities.

Who doesn’t love a good story? And sassies, do I have good one to share with you all. As a lover of captivating narratives, I was blown away by how CORT Events not only showcased their furniture and design services but also ignited imagination and evoked emotion in the viewer.

The CORT Events team embarked on their journey to create this remarkable video concept years ago, aiming to redefine how they present their expansive range of furniture, decor, and design services nationwide. Their goal was ambitious—to go beyond the ordinary and inspire event professionals to think differently about event furnishing and design.

In the early stages of concepting, the team envisioned creating short video clips that highlighted the trendy furniture collections, white-glove services, and consultative approach that set CORT Events apart. But they didn’t stop there. They wanted to delve deeper and answer the critical questions of ‘how’ and ‘why’ they provide experiences the way they do.

The concept of a “blank slate” became the guiding force behind the video. It served as both a metaphor and a physical space—a starting point that would ignite users’ creativity and encourage them to imagine their own unique event layouts.

The 9,400 sq. ft. cyclic film stage set, with its vastness and endless possibilities, truly brought the concept of a blank slate to life. The video was meticulously designed to engage viewers on multiple levels. It showcased various scenarios specific to different types of meetings and events, capturing movement and focusing on intricate details.

The team carefully considered each scene, strategically placing furniture pieces like the luxurious emerald green Endless sofa as the centerpiece of a glamorous gala or the bespoke Danish Modern-inspired Aspen Chair in the foreground of a corporate prefunction gathering. These choices were intentional and aligned with CORT Events’ commitment to thoughtful design.

But what truly sets this brand video apart is its ability to inspire. The team infused humanity and great storytelling into every frame, emphasizing how a piece of furniture becomes an essential and fundamental part of an environment. By incorporating everyday objects as props and featuring live people, text overlay, and timelapse cinematography, the video creates a rich and textured story that resonates across different media platforms.

Whether viewed silently on a tradeshow booth monitor or on a mobile device through social media, this brand video leaves a lasting impact on show organizers, meeting planners, and event architects. It showcases that events are more than singular occasions—they have the power to be transformative experiences that truly matter.

So, hats off to CORT Events for their captivating ‘Blank Slate’ video. It not only showcases their wide range of products and services but also invites viewers into a world of endless possibilities and creative expression. It’s a true testament to their commitment to creating unforgettable moments for every event. Bravo, CORT Events!

Remember, Sassies, a great brand story goes beyond the surface and connects with people on a deeper level. So, as you plan your next event, let the power of storytelling and creativity guide you in crafting an experience that will leave a lasting impression. Happy storytelling, Sassies!

There’s something special about the outdoorsy feel of fall. Maybe it’s the changing leaves or the cooler weather, but everyone seems to want to be outside when the season begins. Fall is an ideal time to bring elements of the outdoors inside. Taking inspiration from earth tones and natural textures can make event attendees feel like they’re tied in with nature.

My friends at CORT Events are here to help you look at how you can find inspiration for an outdoor-inspired design this season.

Fall Foliage Color Combinations

Taking inspiration from the colors of fall leaves is an easy way to bring the outdoors inside and replicate a fall landscape at an indoor event.  Browns, oranges, deeper yellows, and darker greens all suggest the leaves of fall.

Using the Valencia Sofa from CORT Events as a base centers your design with a natural earth tone. Add other soft seating pieces to the mix, like the Bowery Chair in ochre and the Valencia Chair in spice orange. These chairs not only add more soft seating to the space, but they also complement the earthiness of the sofa with the tones of fall leaves.

Bring in an “Earthy” Feel with Texture

Bringing the outdoors into a fall event is about more than just color. Texture is a key to achieving a natural, earthy feel as well. Varying the textures within a space adds dimension and make designs more interesting.

For example, the soft, sophisticated velvet of the Valencia Sofa contrasts well with the distressed leather texture of the Atherton Chair. The Mesa Cocktail Table, with its rustic yet sophisticated barnwood top, adds another dimension of outdoor texture to an already inviting space.

These textures are pleasing to the eye and the touch, and they combine to create a comfortable, cozy space.

Create Warmth with Patterns

Let’s go back to our Valencia Sofa example. It’s earthy in color and has an intriguing velvet texture but adding more patterns to the space breaks up the solid colors and adds interest to the eyes and warmth to the senses.

The Plumes Pillow features a light feather pattern in neutral fall colors for a different sense of bringing the outdoors inside. In contrast, the Albuquerque Pillow in ochre brings a welcoming and inviting Southwest vibe. These pillows with bold, memorable patterns also pair well with the Lena Chair in moss green or the Bowery Chair in ochre.

Make Your Space Feel More like Fall with CORT Events

Combining different colors, textures, and patterns that usher the outdoors inside can bring a “fall” look and feel to your event this season. There’s one source that can provide the furniture and accent items to meet your needs all in one place: CORT Events. From ideas and inspiration to cutting-edge space planning tools to setup and delivery, CORT Events has your back every step of the way.

Inspiration from the Shades of Summer to Fall

The change of season brings welcome variety to the world, and the transformation from summer to fall is no exception. Much in the same way that homeowners can reflect the change of season with fall decor, your events can reflect the excitement and freshness of a new season.

My friends at CORT Events have pulled together a few examples of colors from the Pantone collections that transition from summer to fall, with some practical examples of how you can bring them into your next event.

Transition from Daffodil to Samoan Sun

Yellow is a color that universally suggests positivity and warmth, regardless of the season. Spaces can also be brightened with this shade, along with adding texture, particularly if the room or building has no windows.

The cheerful yellow tone of Samoan Sun is ideal for your fall event because it pairs well with other trending colors for the season, like the subtle green of Martini Olive or the orange-leaning brown of Caramel Café.

In their line up, CORT Events offers the Bowery Chair in ochre pairs which is complemented by the Del Mar Tonal Rug in Earth Brown or the Sedona Side Table with the barnwood top.

Say “Good-bye” to Poinciana and “Hello” Lava Falls

Its been shown that shades of red can evoke feelings of security and protection as well as increase enthusiasm. For events this can be exciting to play with throughout your design because it conjures up the exact feelings you want your attendees  to experience.

The Chandler Sofa in cranberry from CORT Events is the ideal large piece in this shade. Its rich red resembles Pantone’s Lava Falls, and it pairs expertly with the ochre Bowery Chair — CORT even puts those pieces together in the Chandler Bowery Package.

Leave Behind Skydiver and Embrace Midnight

Cool colors like blue and green make a pleasant balance for the warm colors of fall because they provide a welcome contrast.

Pantone chose the rich indigo of Skydiver as its summer shade of blue, but the late-night sky of Midnight is the featured blue for fall. For inspiration, look towards CORT Events Montreal Visions Package to tie deep blues into your fall event. This collection incorporates saffron, spiced orange, brown, and blue hues that tie in with the trends for fall 2022.

Choosing the right fall colors for your event space with CORT Events

The existing elements within your event space go a long way in helping determine the right fall focal color to use. Having the right furniture partner will make a huge difference with this which why CORT Events has you covered. From large pieces to smaller accents and decor, CORT can provide you with everything you need to bring fall color and ultimate practicality to your event.

When you’re ready to make your fall event a success, reach out to CORT Events. You’ll be glad you did.
