5 tips for decorating for events | Decorating spaces

Get ready because in this article we’ve compiled five tips for event decoration which are sure to turn your party into an a-list function, no matter how modest or simple your celebration is. With a little handiwork and some ideas, you won't even have to spend much money. And even better, you’ll do all this in an environmentally friendly way.

1. Decorating for events and Coronavirus restrictions

One of the main things to take into account nowadays is that the Coronavirus restrictions that are in place will have a great influence on what you can and can't do when organising and decorating an event. A safe distance must be kept, which means that the tables and chairs will have to be placed in a certain layout, and this is the first thing that you must do. Secondly, make sure there is plenty of hydroalcoholic gel available in both the bathroom and the room where the event is going to be held. Safety first.

2. Chromatic colours rule

Choose the colours that you are going to use based on the theme of the event. If you are going to honour somebody for an achievement or birthday, choose their favourite colour. If the party has a theme that can be associated with a specific colour, choose that colour. There’s no need to fill the room with wreaths and balloons to make the colour stand out. As you'll find out below, the devil is in the details.

3. The importance of small details in event decoration

You can add a splash of colour by decorating the cups and serviettes with colourful tape or string, or even by using biodegradable straws for any drinks that are going to be served. If you're holding the event in a room or hall with curtains, you can change the curtain ties and drapes. This may be a small investment, but you can use these new accessories to give your room a breath of fresh air every now and again. That way you’ll save money on refurbishing and you’ll never get tired of your house's appearance.

4. Decorating means making the most of what you have

In the same way that you use chromatic colours to enhance the room, and if you want to decorate the event in a responsible manner, you can also use food as an ornament. If it's a children’s party, sweets give you endless possibilities for putting together visual creations which will be well received by the little ones, plus you won’t have to clean up afterwards! For adult celebrations, on the other hand, did you know that you can get edible plates?

5. Event decoration that doesn't spoil the fun

Whatever happens, remember that event decoration is a tool and not an end. What’s important is that your guests have fun and take home some wonderful memories of the party. So, try to relax even though not everything is perfect. And if you need some materials for decorating, remember that tape and string are an infinite source of inspiration.
