Space Filler

A large, raw space can be less costly than other made-for-meetings venues, but making the room feel intimate can be a challenge. Instead of decorating the space with large props, furniture or other expensive setups, try up-lighting, which uses color filters for dramatic effects, to fill the room. Thanks to Annmarie Latta, sales and marketing manager at Providence, R.I.-based ATR/Treehouse (atrtreehouse.com), for the idea.
