Transforming an office into a party venue calls for a combination of insight, resources and direction. Step by step:
Clean it up: remove or conceal everyday office furnishings. Boxes gone, desks to the side, screens covered. The less office you see, the more it feels like a party. Atmospheric lighting: standard office lighting is the atmosphere killer. Hire a lighting company for mood lighting, spots and colour changers. This is the most impactful element of the transformation. Décor: in keeping with the theme or the occasion. Not too much, but enough to say: this is a different space today. Catering: set the in-house kitchen aside and hire a professional caterer. They know how to work in a non-restaurant environment. Sound: office speakers aren't enough. Hire a sound system that suits the space and the programme.
