How to Select the Right Chairs and Tables for Your Event Theme

When it comes to event planning, chairs and tables often don’t get as much attention as decorations or lighting — but they play a crucial role in defining your event’s overall atmosphere, comfort, and style.
Whether it’s a grand wedding, a corporate conference, a birthday party, or a high-profile gala, the right seating and table arrangement can transform a simple venue into an elegant experience.

At Glorious Infinity Global, we’ve supplied thousands of chairs and tables for all kinds of events across Nigeria — from intimate garden weddings to large outdoor festivals. And we’ve learned one thing: the right furniture sets the tone for your entire event.

In this post, we’ll guide you step-by-step on how to choose the perfect chairs and tables that match your event theme, budget, and venue.

1. Understand Your Event Type and Theme

Before you choose any furniture, you must first define your event’s theme and purpose.
Ask yourself:

Is the event formal or casual?
Indoors or outdoors?
Traditional, modern, or luxury-themed?

Your event type influences everything — from chair style to table shape.

Example:

A corporate seminar calls for simple, comfortable seating like plastic chairs or foldable conference chairs.
A wedding reception may require elegant Chivari chairs, Dior chairs, or VIP tables with matching linens.
A cultural celebration may blend traditional and modern seating styles to reflect local aesthetics.

By aligning your furniture with your theme, you instantly create a sense of harmony and sophistication.

2. Match Furniture Style with Event Aesthetics

The beauty of your event lies in visual consistency — everything from the color palette to the chair style should complement your décor and theme.

Here’s how to match chairs and tables with different event aesthetics:

For Weddings

Choose Chivari chairs, Dior chairs, or ghost chairs for an elegant and timeless look.
Pair with round or rectangular VIP tables draped in soft, elegant fabrics.
Add floral or crystal décor to complete the romantic atmosphere.

For Corporate Events

Go for simple, sleek chairs in neutral tones.
Choose rectangular tables for structure and formality.
Minimal decoration and branded table pieces help reinforce professionalism.

For Parties and Outdoor Events

Opt for plastic chairs and tables for easy setup and durability.
Mix bright colors to bring energy to the atmosphere.
Add fabric covers or ribbons for a touch of creativity.

For Luxury and VIP Events

Combine gold or white Dior chairs with high-gloss VIP tables.
Include accent rugs (like red carpets or AstroTurf) to elevate the luxury feel.

At Glorious Infinity Global, we provide all these furniture options — from VIP sets to plastic and Chivari chairs — so your event can reflect any theme you envision.

3. Consider Comfort and Functionality

While appearance matters, comfort is equally important. Guests spend hours seated during most events, and uncomfortable chairs can ruin the experience.

Here’s what to consider:

Chair padding: Use cushioned or fabric-covered chairs for long-duration events like weddings or conferences.
Table height: Match tables to chair height for ergonomic comfort.
Mobility: Use lightweight chairs and foldable tables for events requiring frequent re-arrangement.
Durability: Outdoor events should have weather-resistant materials like plastic or metal.

Remember — guests might not remember the centerpieces, but they’ll remember if they were comfortable.

4. Align Colors with the Event Theme

Color coordination ties your entire event together.
Your chairs and tables don’t need to match your theme exactly — but they should complement it.

Examples:

A white wedding calls for white or gold chairs and glass-top tables.
A corporate event may use black, silver, or blue to match brand colors.
A traditional celebration may combine rich colors like red, gold, and green for a festive atmosphere.

If you’re unsure, our event styling experts at Glorious Infinity Global can recommend the perfect color palette to match your décor and mood.

5. Determine the Space and Seating Arrangement

Your venue size and layout will affect the type and number of chairs and tables you need.

Tips:

Measure the event space before renting or purchasing.
Allow enough room for guests to move comfortably between tables.
Use round tables for a cozy, interactive setup and rectangular tables for formal or space-efficient layouts.
For outdoor events, plan for extra space to accommodate wind flow and tent poles.

Our team at Glorious Infinity Global can help you map out the ideal seating arrangement plan that maximizes comfort and space efficiency.

6. Don’t Forget the Accessories

Sometimes, it’s the little details that make a big impact.

Enhance your chairs and tables with:

Chair covers and sashes for elegance
Tablecloths and runners for visual appeal
Centerpieces (flowers, candles, or branded items)
Lighting to highlight your furniture arrangement

These finishing touches transform ordinary setups into extraordinary experiences.

7. Quality Over Quantity

Never compromise on quality. Cheap or damaged chairs can not only ruin your event aesthetics but also pose safety risks.
At Glorious Infinity Global, we ensure every chair and table we supply is thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and ready for use — giving you peace of mind and professional presentation.
