Staying trendy and branded with your event décor isn’t always easy or a priority for some companies. But, times are changing. You could say that staying on trend is becoming the new trend, inspiring a whole new approach to corporate event décor.
We have started to move away from the “silver, white, with a pop of brand color” staple. I think I can say on behalf of, well…mostly everyone, we are creatively thrilled!
What’s New and Now
Companies are incorporating more organic materials, greenery, and wooden elements into their aesthetic. They are punching up the experience with a rainbow of other colors, along with their brand colors to create a vivid atmosphere.

Build Décor Around Your Values
Today, companies want to create exciting environments to immerse their guests, while still showcasing their brand.
For example, designing an event based on organic materials and natural elements conveys a nod to the environment. Companies want their guests and employees to feel their values, not just be told what they are.
Leaving guests with a good feeling about a company is vital. It impacts the culture, plus the bottomline. Boldly combining creative décor with your brand is a surefire way to drive those good vibes guests are wanting. Plus, showcases the values your company believes in.
