 2. Doorway Curtains
Dress up drab doorways with curtains. Layer several colors or styles together for a vivid and festive effect.

3. Ceiling Fabrics
Swoop fabrics from the ceiling to create a stunning effect. You can even mix and match fabrics (like tinsel fabric and satin fabric) to create a richer, elegant look.

Use metallic sheeting on the floor to create a shimmery look. It’s great for star themes, Hollywood themes or Prom themes with water looks.

Use large wall murals on drab walls within your venue; they make great areas for teens to take photos.

Use starry gossamer fabric on the ceiling or starry paper on the walls to create a starry night look.

Patterned paper, like checkerboard, wood grain, cobblestone or animal print, will really bring your theme to life.
