Low Seating, Big Comfort: Why We Love Floor-Level Picnics
There’s something quietly luxurious about sitting low to the ground, surrounded by textures, candlelight, and the people you love. Low picnic-style seating isn’t just a design choice—it’s a mood. It encourages intimacy, invites ease, and channels that slow, soul-nourishing energy we admire in European dining culture.
At Sunday Company, low seating is one of our signature elements. Whether we’re setting up in Jupiter, Tequesta, Palm Beach, or along the shores of Jensen Beach, it’s how we bring a relaxed, editorial aesthetic to luxury picnics in South Florida. Here’s why we love it—and how it elevates the entire experience.
Comfort, Reimagined
Forget folding chairs and wobbly tables. Our low setups start with plush cushions, layered rugs, and floor pillows that bring softness underfoot. We add low wooden tables—custom-built or vintage—that sit just high enough to host charcuterie, florals, and sparkling drinks without ever feeling stiff. Guests feel grounded, relaxed, and more connected to the moment.
Designed to Linger
The beauty of low seating is how it subtly encourages guests to stay a while. Whether you’re sharing a slow breakfast in West Palm Beach, lounging through golden hour in Juno Beach, or toasting an engagement in Hobe Sound, the setup naturally invites pause. No rushing, no formalities—just long, lovely moments.
We often add layered throws for warmth, lanterns or tapered candles for glow, and floral clusters at eye level to keep things cozy and visually inviting.
Styled for Soulful Gatherings
Visually, low seating allows for beautifully framed tablescapes and more dynamic photos. It opens up the space and lets your surroundings—be it ocean views in Jupiter or a garden nook in Stuart—become part of the scene. With floral arrangements kept low and table decor styled with purpose, every inch becomes part of the vibe.
Inspired by the World
From Moroccan garden dinners to Provençal courtyard lunches, floor-level seating has long been part of global gathering traditions. We love channeling those cultural cues into our South Florida picnics—always with a fresh, editorial spin. It’s casual without being sloppy, elegant without being overdone.
Bring the Comfort to You
Whether you're hosting in your backyard, by the beach, or at a scenic park in Martin County, low seating instantly transforms your picnic into something intentional and elevated. It's picnic meets lounge, with a dash of storybook romance.
And yes—it’s always just as cozy as it looks.
Looking to book a luxury picnic in South Florida? From Palm Beach to Jensen Beach, we bring dreamy, low-seating setups to your favorite local spots. Learn how to strike a design balance by mixing saturated, modern hues with grounded, natural textures. In this post, we explain how bold elements—like cobalt glass or chartreuse accents—can be softened with rattan placemats, clay pottery, and soft linen throws. Drawing inspiration from old-world European interiors, we show you how to use contrast intentionally to create visual interest while maintaining warmth and cohesion in your setup.
