1. Use Lighting to Create an Ambiance
Often overlooked, lighting is a key element in creating the right ambiance for any indoor event. This is especially true for corporate events; the last thing you want is for guests to snooze off during a deep dive or strategy session because the lighting is too low or harsh.
Instead, use lighting to create an immersive experience that helps guests feel more engaged and connected to the event. For example, consider using soft lighting to create a cozy and intimate setting, or bright lighting to create a lively and energetic atmosphere. You can also incorporate accent lighting to highlight specific areas or focal points in the room, such as a particular display, artwork, or speaker.
2. Incorporate Greenery
Natural centerpieces can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any corporate event. They can range from simple greenery and branches to intricate floral arrangements. Using natural elements as centerpieces can create a calming and inviting atmosphere, as well as a visually appealing focal point for guests to admire.
At Modern Moments, we craft custom centerpieces in-house for all kinds of events. We also have a stunning indoor nature wall that is sure to bring a sense of tranquility and natural beauty to your next corporate event. It creates a unique backdrop for photo opportunities.
And speaking of statement walls…
3. Create a Statement Wall
A statement wall can be a great way to create a focal point in your indoor event space. Consider using a bold color or unique pattern to create a striking visual impact. You can also use a wall to display your company logo or brand messaging.
If possible, select a wall with a neutral color that complements your design, such as white or gray. Then, consider what materials you want to use to create your statement. Balloons, flowers, and greenery are all popular options, but you could also use fabric, lighting, or custom signage. Choose materials that fit your budget and align with your creative design vision.
4. Use Textiles to Add Texture and Color
Thoughtful design touches can have a significant impact on the quality of a corporate event hosted indoors. The good news is that you can implement this pretty easily (and cost-effectively) through textiles like tablecloths, table runners, and curtains, which are great for adding texture and color. Choose fabrics that compliment the theme and color scheme of your event. You can also incorporate pillows, throws, or other textiles to create cozy seating areas or lounge spaces for your guests.
5. Incorporate Artwork or Photography
Artwork or photography can be a great way to add visual interest to your indoor event space. It can also help attendees to become more engaged in the event, sparking conversation and fostering creativity and inspiration.
Consider incorporating pieces that reflect the theme of your event or that showcase your company's brand and messaging. You can use large-scale prints, canvas art, or even digital displays to create a unique and engaging atmosphere for your guests.
For example, an event focused on sustainability could incorporate artwork that highlights the beauty of the natural world. This type of visual reinforcement can help to drive home the event’s message and create a more memorable experience for attendees.
As an added bonus, artwork can easily be repurposed for future event décor. And, it’s relatively simple to transport and set up. A win-win for busy hosts and event coordinators!
