If you want to make your venue stand out its important to think outside of the box tables, bars, stages and seating are the basic elements that make up your venue but a little creativity can turn them into eye catching features.
1. Think about the layout
The layout of a venue can make or break an event. It can help or hinder the experience for attendees, whether it’s facilitating networking opportunities, creating a good performance space or encouraging interaction between guests during brainstorming or team-building activities.
A well-designed entryway can make a big impact on guests as they arrive at the venue. Add visual drama by draping the area and adding columns or plants for added dimension.
Don’t forget to consider the importance of directional signage, which can help guests find their way around the venue. It’s also a good idea to ask the venue for a layout of their seating and table arrangements so you can see how your decor will look with the layout in place avoid items that break your guests’ line of sight.

3. Be natural
When it comes to venue design, look for natural elements that will help your space feel bigger. Using greenery and flowers as decorative accents will make guests feel close and surrounded by nature even in an indoor venue.
If you’re looking to create the illusion of more space in a small venue, try using light color schemes and translucent or clear decor items. These tricks can also save you on your budget since you don’t have to buy as much decor to make the same effect.
Also, remember to prioritize whites and light neutrals in your color palette to avoid making the room feel dark or heavy. Light colors are also easier on the eyes. Use table linens with undertones of your chosen color palette and incorporate more details like colorful straws for beverages.
4. Be versatile
A great party venue is a chameleon that can adapt to different types of parties. Whether you need a space for a magic-themed staff awards event or an audiovisual spectacular to launch your new product, this kind of venue should be ready and willing to meet your needs.
For example, if you’re looking at a venue with interesting architectural features on the ceiling that could be a real draw, think about using lighting to highlight them. Strung bistro lights or other lighting options can make even the most uninspiring ceiling treatment look beautiful.
Also consider the availability of a stage and AV equipment. Some venues have these included with their rental fee, others charge extra for them. Lastly, remember that your party style creates the look and feel of the venue.
5. Don’t be afraid to mix it up
Most venues will have seating and tables arranged a certain way by default. If they don’t suit your event, consider changing them around. This is an easy and cost-effective way to completely transform a venue.
Also think about the floor, many venues have plain carpet that don’t add much to a room. Adding a rug in a different colour can help to brighten the space and make it feel more homely.
Ceiling dA(c)cor can also be a great way to add style to a space. For example striped dA(c)cor can visually widen a narrow room and low centerpieces can be made using books, flowers or candles. They’re usually less expensive to create too! Choosing the right color scheme for your decor is key, it should emphasise the space not overpower it.
6. Be unique
If you have a venue that can be customized, try to highlight that when pitching it. Prospective clients will be more willing to spend more money if they feel that the venue is a blank canvas that can be made their own. Adding in extras like onsite rentals or decor is another great way to add value and upsell your space.
Think about the sensory experience for attendees when designing your venue. Texture is a major factor that can affect how people interact with the space. A bouncy rubber floor will likely be jumped on, while a fluffy wall might be stroked.
The lighting of the venue will also play a role in how attendees perceive it. A light color scheme, extra lamps and translucent or clear decor can make small spaces feel larger.
