Shades of Gray
November 11, 2014
In my October 4, 2011 post on floor covering, I suggested avoiding using gray carpet because it looks too much like the concrete floors in most exhibit halls.
I recently read an article by an exhibit designer who says that he likes gray carpet because it does fit in. His theory is that another color creates a border that show guests may not want to cross.
He may have a point, and you may agree, but I believe I'll stick with different-is-better when it comes to exhibit design. My theory is: you are now entering my unique space, and I am here to personally welcome you.

We have a simulated tile roll of linoleum. Since we install tile, when people walk into our booth space I think it puts them in the right frame of mind. I recently was at an even where the floor was concrete and we were the only booth with "something different", I thought it made us stand out!
