5 steps to success, or how to start a decoration business?
Do you feel that decorating is something you thrive in? Or perhaps you'd like to finally move from idea to action? Starting your own event business doesn't have to be difficult. In this post, we'll show you how to build a profitable decorating business step by step – even from scratch!
1. Start with the right decorative walls
You don't have to buy everything at once – start with a few models that give you the most options. The best options are:
- S1 wall – classic semicircular, grooved or smooth (200x100 cm) [I'm here!]
- S4 wall – grooved arch, perfect for connecting with another and [I'm here!]
- 3D Portal 210x180 cm foldable – gives a huge effect and is easy to transport [I'm here! ]
- Smooth or grooved 3D portal – great as a background, but also as a base for many other decorative elements [I'm here! ]
A well-chosen base set will allow you to create many compositions - just choose different accessories and the background will look completely different every time!
2. Build a portfolio and make your first projects
Before you start earning money, you need something to show for it. To get started:
- Make some arrangements for your friends – birthday, baby shower, first birthday.
- Offer cooperation to local event venues or photographers – perhaps in exchange for photos from the session?
- Document everything – before/after photos are social media gold!
Photos are how others will see what you're capable of. Even simple decorations can make a big impression if you present them well.
3. Promote yourself on social media
This is your most important advertising channel to start with – and it's free!
- Show the process of creating decorations (e.g. reels, stories)
- Add tutorials and inspiration
- Collect opinions and recommendations from satisfied customers
Your profile is your portfolio – maintain it regularly and with passion!
4. Find your first customers
Do you have a portfolio and social media? Now it's time to start finding clients!
- Join local Facebook groups (weddings, parties, decorations)
- Share your thoughts in the comments – give advice, show your projects
- Act locally – your city is a goldmine of opportunities!
5. Stand out and follow trends
There are more and more decorators, but everyone can find their own style:
- Find your theme: minimalist decorations, organic balloons, boho vibes?
- Test new solutions – combining textures, neon lights, grooves
- Follow trends from Pinterest, TikTok, and industry events
Don't copy – be inspired and find your own path!
