Are you arranging a sophisticated or formal event but only have plastic folding chairs available? There’s no need to worry. You can still make your seating look fantastic and stylish without having to break the bank or put in too much effort! Let’s take a look at some expert advice about how you can make even the most basic plastic seating look its best for your special occasion.

The Problem of Plastic Chairs

Plastic folding chairs offer a number of advantages. For a start, they’re affordable which is ideal for anyone arranging an event on a budget. They’re also lightweight and portable, which makes them perfect for any occasion where flexibility is required. They can be set up and taken down quickly and easily and can be moved from space to space whenever required.

They’re also easy to clean and to dry, which makes them ideal for any kind of outdoor event where weather resistance is essential. However, plastic folding chairs don’t always look as elegant as you might like. Therefore, if you’re arranging a formal occasion like a wedding or a banquet, finding a way to make them look more stylish is paramount.

Sashes and Burlaps

One of the easiest, quickest and most affordable ways to decorate folding plastic chairs is to use a sash or burlap tied in a bow at the seat back. Burlap creates a wonderfully rustic look which is ideal for a wedding barn or outdoor space, while sashes can be found in a wide variety of colours to coordinate with the event’s theme or design scheme.

Chair Covers

No matter how plain or boring your plastic folding chairs, you can easily create a streamlined, formal look by simply using some chair covers. Simple to use and available in a range of attractive colours, a chair cover can simply be stretched over the chair once it has been set up to create an attractive, coordinated appearance. This is an especially good idea if you’re using plastic chairs which come in a range of colours since you can make them all look the same. You can add a sash or burlap to the chair cover too for even more visual appeal.

Flowers

Flowers are especially appropriate for a wedding, but they can also be used for other occasions too such as birthday celebrations or summer fetes. A simple decoration can be fixed to the back or the side of each chair to add a little extra elegance and sophistication. Again, flowers can be combined with chair covers for a more streamlined and appealing look.
