HOW TO DECORATE USING BUNTING

Bunting is magical  - a few strings can transform spaces - adding colour and cheer to parties, gardens, weddings, BBQs, marquees. There are so many ways to decorate your space - we've highlighted some below - but you can let your imagination run wild - we think you can never have too much bunting!

Bring the party feel to your event by looking at our guide on different style tips for decorating with bunting.

Traditional and simple this ensures your event will sparkle with fun and colour. 

Simply measure round the edge of your venue - add 20% to crate swag in the bunting design and then pin or tie your bunting round the edges to give a stylish understated design.  

Another simple but effective design that can be combined with around the edge for an authentic bunting design. 

For Corner-To-Corner measure the diagonals of your space and add 20% if you want to add some swag. If you are combining with Around The Outside add to the measurements together to get the total amount of bunting you need.

A great way to add some colour to a ridge tent or marquee as you can, hang your bunting all the way along the centre of your space. Cable the bunting at intervals to quickly affix it a ridgepole.

Simply measure the length of your venue - you don't need to add swag to this design. 

Whether you are decorating a marquee, a room or an outside space this is an easy and effective way to add colour and fun to your venue. 

If you are decorating a marque or space with a apex roof measure from the side to the apex and double the measurement to get the total length needed for that run - all you then have to decide is how many runs you want! This design doesn't need any swag to look amazing. To add an extra element of colour combine with the Down The Middle Design!

Add a circus feel to your venue with this carousel style design. Perfect for marquees, tipis, large inside spaces and wedding venues.

Measure from a central point to the outer edge and then multiply by the number of runs you are adding. If your venue is not a uniform shape measure each run individually. 

Our Corner to Midway design creates more impact than our corner to corner design is ideal for large and small venues as it can be repeated as many times you want across the ceiling of your space.

Once you have decided how many bays you want to create you can measure from the corner to the midway point and double the measurement to give the bunting you need for one bay. This design can benefit from swag so add 20% to your final measurement to give you enough bunting to create the perfect design.

For extra style you can combine with the Around The Outside design for a full bunting effect!
