Why do event halls have ugly carpet?

Right!!!
This is our event space carpet.
I wish they would all just use like black chairs and a plain carpet.

View Quoted Comment Yes! Like whyyyyyy!!!

View Quoted Comment Everything else about your venue is gorgeous! I love the arch windows/mirrors and chandeliers! Maybe you can rent chair covers! I feel like that’ll help a lot!

View Quoted Comment We hate chair covers more than the chairs! they're included in our package but yeah....lol the red actually goes with our scheme but the gold part not so much.

OMG YES! I literally ditched a venue due to the ugly a** reception hall carpet lol! It was green, brown, & red swirls. EW WHY!? lol

Everyone has different priorities... but this is why venue was more important to me. More important than attire or decor. Luckily, the venue that I love gives us everything we want. Annoying carpet or not you'll have a wonderful, beautiful day!

Lol you're not wrong. BUT! I will say, none of your guests will be paying attention to the carpet unless your room is entirely too big for your reception

Between dinner tables, dance floors, decorations and (usually) lower-than-full lighting, the carpet won't be noticeable.

View Quoted Comment That’s terrible!!

View Quoted Comment This is true! I just don’t understand the concept! They know people are going to come in with tons of different color schemes and themes, why not choose something a little more neutral? But you’re right that people won’t notice or remember what the carpet looks like!

I have noticed in some of the newly renovated ones in my area they are finally starting to understand the concept of "neutral." Obviously you don't just want to throw some plain old house carpet into a high traffic event space, but at least the patterns seem to be a little less obnoxious and the colors a little bit more neutral! Here's hoping the trend continues lol

This was a big reason I looked at only legit wedding venues. I wanted to do a reception hall like hotels have, but they are so ugly, especially with the chairs mixed in!

Haha so true 😂 I cannot handle ugly carpets. I’ve been told by an interior designer that they use carpets like these because busy carpet patterns hide stains better & hence need to be cleaned less often (gross). We looked only at venues with no carpets, usually with polished wood floors (white or neutral), poured concrete floors, or something neutral like that (and clean lol).

I'm with you on that. It usually looks dated or from "The Shining" lol

Totally agree! They really need a better interior designer (I would know, I am one!)

My halls carpet and chairs! I think I have everyone beat! 😂

Although I agree that this stinks I actually know that it is intentional. These colors and patterns hide stains. As a lot of people know some stains (wine red sauce etc.) just do not come out. Rather than replace the carpet every time one of these stains happens, or have people complain and say the place is dirty, they install funky carpet that really hides them.

View Quoted Comment Oh wow that is intense! 😂 I actually don’t mind the flowers, they’re just so HUGE!

Ah yes, a like minded bride! My fiance just didn't understand why I was always going on about the carpets and/or drapes of every venue we have toured.

YES. This was the first thing I either liked/dislike about the venues we looked at. My mom laughs about it but they carpets are so ugly! Luckily we were able to find a venue with pretty neutral carpet.

It hides stains. Plus it's cheap. Our venue has wood flooring and we are so happy about it.
