Converting an empty room into an event
location is pretty easy. The emptier the room, the more you can
do. The mood of the area can be easily changed using some of
the tips given here. A dimly lit room can be given a romantic
ambiance while a silly room can be made serious. Proper
decorations can make things align with the event's
ambiance.
First, some bold tastes are required. Adding
bold colour through cloth or some decorations would be good.
Long sheets of fabric with interesting patterns will add what
we require. They could be simply hung down from the top or
allowed to flow through the room. One thing to be avoided is
extremely bright colours depending on the occasion. Romance
requires red hues while a party will deem some bright and bold
colours. You have a free hand with decoration but do ensure it
does not violate any rules of the venue. Verify this during the
contract signing.
Take some time off for the minute details.
They make great accents. Try low priced shops selling craft
work and find interesting decorative objects. You could
consider a bag full of seashells or add some romantic elements
like rose petals and pearls. If on a budget, there are many
things to suit your purse like glass bits, stones, fake
crystals and other table display items. Small objects can
change the mood and use height to your
advantage.
When assigning height, use tall objects to
give some height dimensioning to the room. Items like pillars
and candle stands make great decorative objects and fully
utilize the height allowance till the ceiling. In a small area,
the height factor will add much needed depth to your place,
making it seem much bigger than it actually is. Another idea
would be to utilize tall pieces as centre pieces. Do ensure
that the objects are not very fragile and can't be moved or
kicked about accidentally by your guests. Safety is paramount
when you have guests at your place and ensuring that is
important.
Use décor that matches well with everything
else. This will take out the dark elements, adding much needed
colour to your event location. However, do not make it too
colourful either, so a good idea will be to match the table
cloth and the floor runner and things will be fine. If it
doesn't work out, flowers will do that. Flowers can change the
ambiance completely and brightens things up. Order for some
flowers to be set up at optimal locations and get good
radiance. Be careful on the flowers and with a careful
analysis, you could get some precious flowers thrown
in.
If the decorations in the room do not worry
you and you feel that the size is a compromising element, then
change the table arrangement to create a roomy feel. For small
rooms, utilize round tables. They give the impression of a lot
of space and will also be felt by your guests. A large room
could be made to seem smaller by setting up long tables in the
room.
The final screw to the room arrangement is
the lighting set up. Lighting creates the mood. Use lighting to
your advantage to change the mood as the event requires. To
keep people aware in say an event where bids or donations are
happening, you will require fairly bright lighting. This will
give the visibility to your guests but wont present as a
headache to them. If you plan on presenting a romantic setting
where some passion is involved, create a dimly set up
area.
