Dear Fritz… November 2010

Q: What would you suggest for my holiday event décor?

A:Ahhh, holiday time… “the most wonderful time of the year!” … an inspiring, annual opportunity to create something FABULOUS! So I ask you… why do so many people recreate the same over-used event themes each year?!! Tradition is wonderful, but inspiration is divine! We hope you’ll be inspired by the following holiday color themes… inspired to think outside that proverbial box and motivated to wrap it up in new and innovative ways this holiday season!


For the traditionalist… “HOLIDAY JEWELS”

Jewel tones… the colors of real gems – ruby, emerald, amethyst. For centuries, these colors have represented wealth, luxury and special occasions. So, of course, jewel tones remain a holiday favorite! Take the Hollywood Regency style and punctuate it with deep, rich color (like a Red Velvet Sofa or the Jocelyn Lounge Chairs) and you’ve got an elegant color theme that will make your guests feel incredibly special. Using black or white as your base color palette, don’t be afraid to mix in a variety of jewel colors!… CALL US, we’ll help you! Silver and gold accents tie it all together like the glimmering polished setting of a magnificent bejeweled ring.



For the eco-conscious… “BROWN PAPER PACKAGES TIED UP WITH STRINGS”


Long before Julie Andrews reminded us with this iconic phrase, simple packaging had oft belied the true value of gifts beneath a plain exterior. With the current eco-consciousness trend, we suggest a holiday decor theme that creates a modest backdrop and places more emphasis on the underlying beauty of nature’s bounty. Reinterpreting “brown paper packages” as lush brown furniture (such as the Ultrasuede Cloud Sofa or Epic Daybed) gives you an earthy canvas to showcase the REAL COLORS of nature — colorful florals, fruits, greens, etc. Add some simple accents like pillows and lighting to “tie up” this theme beautifully. The song doesn’t say those brown paper packages couldn’t be tied up in vibrant, colorful, FUN strings! Let your imagination create an eco look that’s suitably festive!


For the rebellious… “EARLY THAW”


December holidays are celebrated around the world at the same time each year, but for half of the globe it’s summertime! So though our “EARLY THAW” color theme may seem radical to the Northern Hemisphere, it merely reflects our broader global perspective… beyond the winter frost lies a whole field of color possibilities! ORANGE and AQUA are our favorites for innovative holiday decorating. Try a white base color scheme and mix in some non-traditional colors (like the aqua Petrie Sectional Sofa or the orange Iman Modular Sofa). Wrap it all up with coordinating holiday ornaments or floral decor for a unique look that will live on as the backdrop for many fond holiday memories.

Water Heater RepairIt’s not the color of the ribbon that defines a well-wrapped package, it’s the style with which it’s presented. We at FormDecor hope that we inspire our friends to celebrate with style, and we wish you all a joyous holiday season.

Entertainment Tonight Emmy Party Masterpiece

Bounce Event Marketing included us in this year’s ET Emmy event at Vibiana. Vibiana is an exquisite canvas to create a masterpiece. Kudos to Bounce for their vision, mixing mid century with Hollywood Regency designs………magnificent!

Cataclysmic Sandstorm hits LA Convention Center!


For 2K at the E3 Expo, the esteemed exhibit designers of Freddie Georges Production Group created an awe-inspiring gaming demonstration room to evoke the ultra-modern elegance of Dubai… being destroyed!! (as in the popular game Spec Ops: The Line). Fortunately the only real destruction to FormDecor’s trendy Modular Cube sectional came from a leaking pen, NOT a cataclysmic sandstorm!! And the gamers absolutely LOVED the comfortable 70’s retro Togo Chairs!

An Outdoor Affair To Remember At USC


When USC said goodbye to their retiring president this summer, they wanted to create an extraordinary event to honor him. So of course they chose FormDecor to furnish a reception lounge with STYLE! Combining English garden inspiration with modern chic, FormDecor furnished the large outdoor expanse of Tutor Plaza with a striking ensemble of white furniture and faux greenery. FormDecor was honored to contribute to the occasion, and we wish President Sample and his wife all the best in their retirement!

2010: A Space Odyssey Screen


Stanley Kubrick would surely approve! Reminiscent of 60’s era futuristic design, the industrial-looking Space Odyssey Screen, Lunar Coffee Table and Lunar Ottoman are still the future of design as we see it. As an event or set designer YOU have the power… the “future” is what you make it! See these and other new rental items by clicking “What’s New” on the FormDecor homepage. May the FORCE (and FormDecor) be with you on your next project!
