A word of advice before you start:
Look for places to attach your fitments on to your tent. Truss bars are a very good place to start with. You can also utilize the tent poles to tie things to them. But beware never to expose live electrical wires to the metal framework of your tent!
You can use duct tapes, para cords, thin wires and ropes to fix things. But remember: never use sharp metallic objects to fix things to your tent. They can cause nasty cuts and tears in your tent canopy and ruin the day.
Decorations for tents
- Light Fixtures
Sundown doesn’t mean the end of outdoor fun! Use light fixtures to illuminate your tent. When used creatively, light fixtures can transform your tent into a romantic getaway home, or a cove you dreamed of as a child.
There are all sorts of light fixtures available in the market, from tent lanterns and light strings to chandeliers. But we don’t suggest using chandeliers with a 10×10 pop up canopy tent, because it can get uncomfortably bright for small spaces. They do work well with large outdoor event tents, though. Outdoor corporate parties and fundraisers look more ravishing in the dazzling light of chandeliers, inside large event tents.
- Flowering plants
Keeping flowering plants are a good idea if you are planning to camp in the same place for a while. Can we say enough about how healthy it is to have flowers inside your abode? They keep our minds fresh with their fragrance, and our eyes sated with their colors. Flowers also serve to keep the air fresh inside tents. Unless carrying flower pots is a fuss for you, think of carrying one or two to your campsite.
- Flags, Banners, letters, buntings and festoons
Festoons are a great addition to the adornments of your custom canopy tent. Match them with your tent color and string them up with buntings to make your tent look gorgeous. Hanging letters are also a great way of decorating your tent and conveying a message.
Banners are a great way of sending across an important message to your guests. It can be a fun message like ‘Just Married’ or ‘Happy Birthday’. Or, it may be something more business oriented. Coupled with branded pop up tents in trade shows or used as standalone advertisement paraphernalia, banners serve as very effective brand promotion tools. If you are a brand owner, use PVC banners to popularize your brand logo and slogan.
- Mason jar lanterns and wind chimes
At first glance, mason jar lanterns might seem as a none-too-significant addition to your tent decoration. But mark our words, they can do a world of good to your tent’s ambience, particularly when the sun is down. With mellow LED lights glowing inside them, these quaintly beautiful lanterns lend a dreamy aura to a 10×10 tent at night. Experiment with light colors to find out what suits you best.
Wind chimes are an age-old treat to wary ears. Their soft tinkling has a mesmeric effect on tired souls. Hang a wind chime at the entrance of your tent and let the drafts play with it. You’ll see it has the power to soothe your mind.

Use ambient light fixtures and matching furniture to create a cozy environment for your guests. Rest assured, they’ll love to spend time in your eatery! But first make sure you have the necessary permissions and amenities to run an outdoor restaurant.
