D\u00e9cor trends have dramatically changed over the years. Back in the 80s, themed parties were in style and we planned everything from The Great Gatsby\u00a0and\u00a0Miami Vice\u00a0to\u00a0casino, beach luau, and pirate themed parties regularly. As time moved forward, events became less flashy and more 3D where large sculptures became the focal points.<\/p>\n
Those trends are all in the past. Today’s client wants something different that will really wow their guests. In order to get it right, you’ll want to stick with some basics to get started.<\/p>\nUse d\u00e9cor in the interior walls to create multiple food stations and seating areas. <\/a><\/span>Click To Tweet<\/a><\/span>\n 1. The design of your event should\u00a0be more architectural focused take into account the shape of the room and fixtures.<\/p>\n 2. Clients like a restaurant or lounge feel with casual seating and a relaxed vibe that allows for easier movement around the room.<\/p>\n 3. Entertainment shouldn’t be overwhelming. Keep it more in the background so that engaging in conversation is easy.<\/p>\n 4. While 3D props are no longer prominent they can add to the d\u00e9cor when used correctly. Include them as accent pieces in the room, along walls.<\/p>\n 5. If you’re planning a large\u00a0gala be sure\u00a0to place the d\u00e9cor along the perimeter walls so it doesn\u2019t block\u00a0the view to the stage or any video screens.<\/p>\n 6.

Use d\u00e9cor in the interior walls to create multiple food stations and seating areas.<\/p>\n BONUS TIP!<\/strong> Careful when placing d\u00e9cor in interior spaces and make sure the element is finished on all sides or you will need to get something else to hide the unfinished edges.
