Most of the dojo's I've ever traveled to are fairly plain, spaces. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with that at all, dojo are supposed to be a place of practice. Usually the dojo's beauty comes from it's simplicity. A nice touch at my current dojo are the flowers that sometimes scatter the space. Usually one of our dojo members, Dianne, brings in a small flower arrangement. I find, too me, that it really stands out in a fairly simple space.
With the holidays approaching and kyu testing scheduled for Sunday I was thinking about supplying a new flower arrangement for the special occasions. I checked my local flower shops and couldn't find quite what I wanted, then I checked online and found flowers and centerpieces by 1-800 Flowers. Right now they're really pushing their Poinsettia arrangements, which really wont work in the dojo, but would be great in a home setting. If you have a need for any flowers or would like to add a little something to your dojo check them out.
