PowerPoint provides a variety of design themes—including coordinated color schemes, backgrounds, font styles, and placement of placeholders. Using pre-designed themes makes it easy for you to quickly change the overall look of your presentation.
By default, PowerPoint applies the plain Office theme to new, blank presentations. However, you can easily change the look and feel of your presentation by applying a different theme.
1. The plain Office theme is applied when you choose Blank Presentation
2. In the Themes gallery, you can change to another theme
3. The selected theme is now applied to your presentation

Open your presentation.

On the Design tab, you'll find design themes in the Themes group.

Unless you specify otherwise, PowerPoint applies the theme you select to the entire presentation.
