Tented events provide a unique set of challenges. There are logistical challenges, like wall height and table placement, and there are also aesthetic challenges. A tent is a completely different canvas than a ballroom or an event hall, which makes it a great opportunity for us to flex our creative muscles and have some fun! For those of you who are planning your own tented events and are stuck for ideas, here is a quick list of ways you can dress up a tent!
One way to bring life to a tented event is with lighting and gobos! Something as simple as a splash of color can make a world of difference in setting the mood for your event.
Decorative panels are an easy, modular way to add visual interest to any tent. They come in a multitude of styles and can be configured in countless ways to fit any decor scheme.

Another way to add visual interest to a tent interior is with chandeliers! Traditional chandeliers add a sense of elegance and grandeur to a tent ceiling, and come in a variety of styles to suit the aesthetics of your event. (Second photo by Sarah Cramer Shields)
If traditional chandeliers are not your cup of tea, contemporary chandeliers give a more modern feel and can quickly elevate the look of your event! Drum shade chandeliers or column chandeliers, shown here, are fun twists on the conventional hanging decor and are sure to dazzle within a tented environment.
Custom fabric treatments are a high-impact way to increase the wow factor of your event! Whether you want to bring the scale of the space in, add a pop of color, or completely transform the interior of a tent, fabric's got you covered! (Photos by Abby Jiu & Jack Looney)
Last but not least, our spandex dividers provide a great opportunity to take your event branding full-scale! In giving you a surface that spans the full width of the tent, these dividers provide you with a stunning backdrop that you can transform into anything you like!
