Collect references with a reason
Group images by colour, texture, focal area or lighting. For each reference, name the element you like so a conversation can focus on useful details rather than reproducing a whole image.
Choose a visual hierarchy
Decide which area should draw attention first, then choose quieter details to connect tables, pathways and gathering spaces. The room’s existing materials and light are part of the design brief.
Check function alongside appearance
Confirm sightlines, circulation, seating, access and safe exits. Ask the venue what can be attached, moved, lit or suspended before assuming a concept is workable.
TAKE INTO THE NEXT CONVERSATION
A short checklist
- Select a small set of references
- Label the detail each image communicates
- Choose one focal area and supporting details
- Check room dimensions, access and venue restrictions
KEEP IN VIEW
Important considerations
- Concept references are inspiration, not a promise of a particular installation.
- Keep paths, exits, accessible routes and service areas unobstructed.
Ask the people responsible for the details.
- What should guests notice first?
- Which details depend on the venue or installation rules?
- How should the room feel during different parts of the event?
