Hey y’all and welcome back to the blog! This week we are discussing flooring your event and the perks of choosing to add this element. Let's dive in!
Here at SOHO, we provide our clients with multiple options of flooring to meet their needs. Every event is different, meaning different flooring options will work for different clients and events. Some events may prefer carpet, while others may prefer a hard wood appearance, such as Oakwood flooring. Since there are many options carpet, wood, turf, etc. let's start by going over some of our most popular options.
Custom Carpet
Custom carpets have been a popular option for many of our events from weddings to parties and more. Our partners have a wide range of options that allow you to pick the option that is best for your event. Options vary in thickness and pile as well as colors. That's right, you can do custom dyed carpet to coordinate with your event design!
Gray Wash Top Coat Flooring
Our gray wash top coat flooring option allows for you to bring in the look of wood floors without the need for wood. We apply this top treatment on top of a duratrac subfloor. This option is great for events looking to provide a finishing detail that gives guests both comfort and style. The gray wash is a modern option that makes a statement while still allowing the other details of the event to pop as well. It coordinates beautifully with our ghost chairs and acrylic tables & acrylic bars!
Oakwood Hardwood Flooring
Our Oakwood hardwood flooring gives the same look and feel as true hardwood flooring. The colors in the Oakwood flooring coordinate beautifully with our Sailcloth tent, Oakwood cross back chairs, Oakwood bars and many other rentals. Another great feature of this flooring is that the edge curves to mimic the curve of the Sailcloth tent.
Turf
Our final type of flooring that is offered is turf. This option is great for events wanting to mimic an outdoor, natural feel to an environment, without the natural elements. We have multiple options for turf in different thicknesses and colors. We have seen this become a popular option throughout 2020 and 2021 with the increase in need to provide open air/outdoor seating for restaurants.
Now that we have discussed some of the flooring options, let's discuss some of the perks of adding flooring to your event.
Guest Experience
As event professionals, we strive to elevate guest experiences. Adding flooring to your event elevates your event and provides a finished feel. This is especially true with an outdoor event. Guests will appreciate and enjoy having a sturdy surface to walk on, providing more comfort for them, especially guests in heels.
Aesthetics
Adding flooring to your events adds to the overall aesthetics and design of the event. Given the multitude of options, you can choose a flooring option that fits with your design and completes your vision. Whether it's pantone matched blush carpet, Oakwood flooring, or turf, flooring elevates the overall look of the event and can bring your event design full circle. It also creates a great base for your other rentals to stand out on.
Functionality
Adding flooring to an outdoor tented event is a great way to create additional functionality to the location. Adding a sturdy level ground for your rentals to be installed on is beneficial. This allows for the rentals to be placed in your ideal location without having to be concerned about natural elements, such as inclines or divots, causing you to adjust the layout of the event.
Flooring is a wonderful addition to both indoor and outdoor events and we have many options to meet your events needs! Now that we have reviewed our flooring options and the perks of flooring, we would love to know, what flooring option would you choose?
Till next time,
Cheers!
