Staff party: start at the entrance

You are organising a staff party. The venue is arranged, the catering is sorted and the entertainment is booked. Yet you are still missing one important element: the first impression. It is created the moment your guests arrive. A festive entrance sets the tone for the rest of the evening. And a beautiful runner is part of that.

Why the entrance is decisive for your staff party

Decorating a staff party starts at the door. Colleagues walk in and immediately form an impression of the evening. A red carpet runner or coloured runner signals: this is no ordinary working day. You create a feeling of appreciation. That motivates and connects.

A runner also protects your floor against mud, leaves and moisture. Especially in bad weather, the venue stays clean. Guests walk straight onto a piece of carpet that catches dirt. That saves clean-up time and irritation.

We supply runners that are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They have a rubber anti-slip layer and do not bleed colour in the rain. Even after a rain shower, your entrance stays neat. The runners are reusable, so they are suitable for multiple events.

Ideas for an eye-catching entrance

Choose a classic red carpet runner: The red carpet runner remains a safe choice. It radiates luxury and suits any theme. Whether you are organising a gala or an informal team party: red adds allure. We stock red carpet runners in various widths and thicknesses. The Dallas runner has a thick pile and feels luxurious. For outdoor use, we recommend the standard red carpet runner with a pre-coat backing.

Match the colour to your corporate style: Do you want to match the runner to your corporate identity? Then choose a runner in a different colour. We offer black, blue, grey, green and more. A blue runner, for example, suits a tech company. Green fits a sustainable image. This way you strengthen recognisability from the very first moment.

Have your runner printed with a logo: A printed runner really makes an impression. You place your company logo, a slogan or a festive message on the carpet. Guests immediately see which event they are attending. That strengthens the branding and makes for great photos. We have our own print department. This allows us to deliver printed runners within 1 to 3 working days.

Add barrier posts and ropes: Combine your runner with barrier posts and ropes. That creates a VIP feeling. Guests walk in between the ropes. It provides structure and a bit of excitement. Want a red carpet experience? Then place photographers or colleagues with a camera alongside it. This turns the entrance into a real event.

Think about lighting and decoration: A runner works best in combination with other decoration. Place spotlights along the walking direction or lanterns on the ground. Hang bunting or balloons at the entrance. The runner forms the basis, the rest complements it. Together they take the atmosphere to a higher level.

Practical tips for laying a runner

Measure the walking distance in advance: Determine how many metres of runner you need. Measure the distance from the car park or the gate to the door. Add a few metres for unevenness or an extra bend. This prevents the runner from being too short.

Lay the runner on a clean surface: Sweep the floor or path clean before rolling out the runner. Small stones or twigs can cause bumps. A smooth surface ensures a neat result. Our runners have an anti-slip layer, but a clean base always helps.

Roll out the runner in the walking direction: Start at the entrance and roll towards the arrival point. This keeps any seams or overlaps out of sight. Smooth the runner with your hands or feet. Check that there are no creases.

Secure the ends: Tape the edges down with double-sided tape or use barrier posts to keep the runner in place. This prevents it from shifting with heavy foot traffic. In bad weather, a runner can curl up slightly at the edges. Tape quickly solves that.
