2025 Event Rental Trends We’re Loving—From Montana Ranches to Austin Rooftops

At ROAM Rental Co., we believe that every event should tell a story—your story. As we step into 2025, we're seeing a delightful blend of design-forward elements and regional nuances that make each celebration uniquely memorable. Whether you're planning a chic rooftop soirée in Austin or a rustic gathering under the vast Montana sky, here are the trends that are capturing our hearts this year.

1. Sculptural Seating & Curated Lounges

Gone are the days of uniform seating arrangements. This year, it's all about creating intimate vignettes with sculptural furniture pieces that double as art. Think velvet sofas in rich hues, paired with eclectic side tables and ambient lighting. These setups not only provide comfort but also serve as conversation starters.

2. Bold Color Palettes with a Twist

While neutral tones have their place, 2025 is embracing color with open arms. We're seeing a surge in deep jewel tones, earthy terracottas, and unexpected pops of neon. In Austin, this translates to vibrant table settings against minimalist backdrops, while Montana events are incorporating these hues through textiles and floral arrangements.

3. Immersive Lighting Experiences

Lighting is no longer just functional; it's transformative. From projection mapping that tells a story to soft, cascading fairy lights that mimic the stars, the right lighting can elevate your event's ambiance. Especially in Montana's open landscapes, creative lighting designs are making evening events truly magical. 100 Layer CakeBetter Homes & Gardens

4. Sustainable & Localized Decor

Eco-conscious choices are at the forefront of event planning. We're championing rentals that prioritize sustainability—be it through reclaimed wood tables, biodegradable linens, or locally sourced decor elements. This not only reduces environmental impact but also adds a layer of authenticity to your event. innovativepartyplanners.com+1Pleasantdale Chateau+1

5. Interactive & Personalized Elements

Guests crave experiences. Incorporating interactive elements like DIY cocktail stations, personalized photo booths, or live art installations can make your event unforgettable. In Austin, tech-integrated experiences are trending, while Montana events are leaning into hands-on, artisanal activities. innovativepartyplanners.com

6. Mixing Textures & Materials

2025 is all about tactile experiences. Combining different textures—like pairing sleek metal chairs with rustic wooden tables or layering linens with varying weaves—adds depth and interest to your event design. This approach resonates well in both urban and rural settings, offering versatility and style.

7. Statement Installations

Whether it's a grand floral arch, a suspended centerpiece, or a bespoke backdrop, statement pieces are stealing the show. These installations serve as focal points, perfect for photo ops and setting the tone for the event. In Wyoming, we're seeing a rise in installations that incorporate natural elements, blending seamlessly with the surroundings. 100 Layer Cake

8. Flexible & Modular Furniture

Adaptability is key. Modular furniture that can be reconfigured to suit different event phases—from ceremony to reception to after-party—is gaining popularity. This flexibility ensures that the event flow remains seamless, especially in venues with unique layouts.

9. Elevated Outdoor Experiences

Outdoor events continue to be in vogue, with a focus on comfort and luxury. Think plush seating under pergolas, outdoor lounges with fire pits, and alfresco dining setups that rival indoor elegance. Montana's natural beauty provides the perfect backdrop for such elevated outdoor experiences. Event Source
