Big Ideas for Small Spaces

If you’ve had to reduce the amount of space you usually take up at your industry trade fairs and exhibitions, here are some ideas for getting that smaller space to make a big impact:

Build Up, Not Out – if your space is small, go tall. Tall structures within your space will make your booth appear – and feel – larger.

A Good Reflection – an old interior design trick, incorporating mirrors into your exhibition stand design is a sure way to create the illusion of space without actually having it.

Less is More – having an uncluttered exhibition stand design makes your smaller space appear larger. Keeping your trade fair booth space relatively empty will make it feel much more open and spacious than if you clutter it with product displays.

Add Overhead – things will be looking up for your smaller booth if you hang graphics from the ceiling above it, allowing you to claim all the space your exhibition stand needs to shine.

Lighten Up – using lighter colours in your exhibition stand design will open your space up. Research shows that light colours reflect light back to the eye, which your brain then interprets as a larger space.
