What to change first
The room names, the two capacities for each, the "included" lines, the photographs and the #enquire- links.
The signature moment
The capacities are the headline, the name is the caption
Under every photograph the standing and seated numbers are the largest type on the card, side by side between two rules, and they line up across the row. An event planner's first question is "will we fit", so the answer is read before the room's name. The figures are a bare clamp(2.5rem, 3.6vw, 3.5rem), off the type ladder on purpose because their size is the composition; the room names sit on the large rung below them in weight. The mark survives colourlessness because it is made of scale and rule: two numbers in a two-column grid, a currentColor rule above and below and a vertical rule between them.
Theme handoff
What comes from where
From your theme
- The ground is
baseand every line of type iscontrast, each a two-rung chain. Text is at 4.5:1 or better in the stock themes, and the figures are display type. - The rules are
currentColor, so they follow your text. - The "Standing" and "Seated" labels and the head label start on
role-label, falling through tocontrast. - The Enquire buttons state no colour, so your theme's button paints them; they state their padding so the target holds in any theme.
- The heading is on the
x-largerung, the room names onlarge, body copy onmedium. The typeface is your theme's.
Set by this pattern
- The rooms are a columns block, three across from 782px and stacked below. Each column is a vertical flex stack with its content pushed apart, so the Enquire buttons line up along the foot of the row whatever the length of each "included" line.
- The figures are a two-column grid with a fixed column count, so standing and seated stay side by side down to 390px.
- Example photographs are included and are meant to be replaced in the editor.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives
Overview
The hireable rooms of an events venue, a hotel or a wedding barn. A tracked label and a heading hold the left of the head, one line on what every room includes the right. Below them three cards, one per room: a 4:3 photograph, the room's name, its standing and seated capacities as two display figures between rules, a line of what is included, and an Enquire button on the foot.

Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints
The Styled look
stone-and-damson states a warm stone ground #f1ebe2, plum-black ink and rules #231a20, warm white card plates #fbf8f3 and damson #5e2b4c for the figures and the square Enquire buttons, whose warm white uppercase labels read at over 10:1. The heading, room names and figures are Palatino at weight 400 over a Helvetica body at 400. It is for a hotel, a harbourside venue or a wedding barn that wants to look quietly expensive.
Questions
Venue spaces capacity: common questions
Does Venue spaces capacity need a plugin?
No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (button, buttons, column, columns, group, heading, image and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.
Will Venue spaces capacity match my theme?
Choose by variation. Three rooms takes your theme’s palette; Stone and damson brings its own colours.
How many variations does Venue spaces capacity have?
2: Three rooms and Stone and damson. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.
Can I use my own images?
Yes. Sample images stay in the copied blocks. Replace them in WordPress; pasting does not upload them to your Media Library.
Is Venue spaces capacity free?
It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 56 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.
The markup
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
