PLANNING YOUR DECOR IN 5 EASY STEPS
1. CREATIVE LAYOUT
Thinking about some creative ideas for your space at home or at the home
of a close friend or family member? When looking at how your space can
be best utilized, a little creativity can go a long way. Simply moving away
from the conventional layout can greatly improve the design of your event.
2. UNIQUE SEATING
Everyone needs a place to sit but this doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Jazz
it up a bit by have a variation of tables - long, square, high, and low. You can
even get cozy with a lounge for more casual seating by simply utilizing your
sofa or love seat. Don’t be afraid to get creative in the style of chairs you use,
they do not have to be all the same, give this a twist, it’s fun and creates a
wow effect if chosen correctly.
3. USE OF COLOR
Color is an integral part of event design. Use of flowers and plants always
brings a pop of color to any room. You can also get creative with your choice
of table linens and accent pieces which are essential for any event. And don’t
forget lighting. You can transform a room with candles or colored LED lights.
4. BRING IN NATURAL ELEMENTS
Bring the outside in. Nature can provide beauty and understated simplicity to
events. Items such as succulents, branches and wooden elements with a few
well-placed flowers can be lovely and affordable.
5. INCORPORATE ACCENT PIECES
Adding a beautiful vase or a wonderful art piece and a few votives can reduce
your cost when working within a budget. In addition, photos that you would like
to display could be placed strategically around the room in decorative frames
on pedestals or within wall alcoves.
If you follow these 5 easy steps you will be on your way to creating your perfect
event, but don’t get bogged down by these guidelines, just let your creative
juices flow and watch every element come to life! Try different things and create
something completely different! The possibilities are endless – as long as you
don’t take inspiration from the crazy aunt with the cats.
