A reader commented on the
Vintage Show Off Facebook page the other day that she doesn't care for the typical fall colors. Decorating her booth for Fall just isn't that easy. I have several thoughts on that.
First, if all the booths around you have traditional colors and you work up a display using alternative colors, if it's pretty enough, it could be a big hit. It will certainly stand out from the crowd.
Also, holiday and seasonal decor doesn't HAVE to be incorporated. I know plenty of vendors who never use seasonal items. There are many practical reasons for doing that. For one, some vendors just don't have the storage space.
If you WANT to display for Fall or Halloween, but hate the oranges and reds, just look for some creative alternatives. It's a good idea to not get too carried away with items you hope to sell. Make sure that whatever you are selling could also be used by a customer who adores red and orange. For instance, if you create a black and white look in your booth, the black and white items could still be used with fall decor in traditional colors. On the other hand, if you created a pastel Fall look, not as many customers could use any of the pastel items you were selling. If the pastel items are mostly display to make your booth look great, then go for it! It would certainly grab attention.
I did some quick looking through my files and here are a few inspiration photos I found to help those who prefer to steer clear of orange and red. I used the
Sherwin Williams Chip It tool with the first one to clearly show the colors. I love that tool!
