Actividades: An area distinguished by a softer light and furnished differently, attracting attention by being different from the main area. No doubt, it will leave a lasting impression of your event! Warm colours The colour selection is very important to create a relaxed ambience. Neutral and warm tones like earthy colours give a calming effect. If you prefer a more sophisticated look, try putting a painted paper soffit with shapes to contrast with the one-toned furniture. Warm lighting Candles are great complements for a relaxing ambience. It can be combined with various sizes, in different colours according to the tones of the furniture or all in the same colours. Also, you can group candles in strategic points of the venue or a small candle in each table to create a more intimate atmosphere. Make sure that there is no fire-hazardous material in the area. Other suggestion are high candle holders and standing lamps with painted henna lampshades. The main idea is to give indirect light to soften the view. Comfortable furniture Furniture must be relaxing and low, preferably with a back rest and sit comfortably to rest the legs as well. An option is to combine long white benches hung against a wall and decorated with cushions and puffs. For a more elegant ambience, small tables lit from inside can be the only lighting in the area, or hang a mirror to give more depth to the venue. Make the lounge attractive with cushions, futons and pillows instead of furnitire… Smooth drinks Serve refreshing and original drinks and let your guests taste new favours. Try serving drinks that can help digestion and include exotic tea combinations: martini with green tea or chai tea with a scoop of mango ice cream. The variety of tea is immense and its favours can be evocative! Aromatherapy Burn incense sticks or cones with oriental scents such as amber, cedar, orange or spices. The incense holder can be used as decoration, with inlaid colour pieces; hippy-styled or just one-toned, wood or rigid plastic for a more sober look. You can also place long sticks of incense in a clay earthen pot or in glass filled with colour or white sand. Try hanging black plates filled with white large-grained salt and stick in a few sticks of incense for a more original presentation. Lounge music Music is key to give a relaxed ambience. Lounge rhythm or chill-out, such as Juan García Esquivel, make sure that the volume level is just right: pleasant and not too loud. Play different variations such as jazz fusions or melody themes from the 60-70’s mixed to today’s hits.
