How to design a cozy lounge area under a tent in LA, California?

I’m planning a small gathering in my backyard and want to create a cozy lounge under a tent in LA. Last summer, I attended a friend’s party with a really warm, inviting setup, and I loved it. How do you design a lounge that feels comfortable but still stylish under a tent? Any personal tips or tricks would be great.

I’ve done something similar for a birthday party a while back. The key for me was layering textures—soft rugs, low seating, and string lights gave a really intimate vibe. Adding a few potted plants and small tables for drinks made it practical too. Of course, tent size matters—you don’t want it cramped or too sparse. I found https://www.stretch-tent.net/blog/stretch-tent-sizes helpful to check the dimensions and visualize how different layouts could work for cozy lounges. It really made the planning easier and gave me confidence in the setup.
