A large business space gives you plenty of flexibility when decorating for special occasions. Its size can be an asset at Christmas, letting you go big with decorated trees, greenery, light displays, and more. When styled well, it can attract potential customers and spread holiday cheer among colleagues.
Décor Ideas for Business Spaces
Here are some decorating ideas for your commercial space.
Create a Striking Entryway
Create a memorable first impression with a cheerful and welcoming façade. Line entryways with pre-lit artificial trees, lanterns, and oversized decorations. Increase the density of the décor as it gets closer to the entrance to draw customers into the space.
Choose an Appropriate Christmas Tree Size
A Christmas tree will always be the star attraction of a holiday display. When choosing a Christmas tree for large spaces, make sure its shape and height suit the scale of the room.
Christmas trees that are 8 to 9 feet tall suit wide spaces with high ceilings. Trees that are 10 to 30 feet tall are ideal for open spaces and establishments with vaulted ceilings, and look best in grand settings such as large hotel lobbies, courtyards, and ballrooms.
Add Drama to Stairways With Swags of Greenery
Stairways are perfect for impressive swags of greenery, garlands, large bows, and even Christmas stockings. Consider the architectural style of the passageway before you start decorating. A Craftsman-style banister with a long, straight handrail looks best with traditional decorations, while a sweeping curved railing pairs well with more contemporary décor. Style decorations consistently from one end of the railing to the other to create a balanced look.
Hang Décor From the Ceiling and Walls
Décor in business settings is usually placed on top of tables, counters, or the floor. Make the most of underused corners by creating a backdrop that complements your holiday display. Hang Christmas string lights or lanterns, decorative garlands, and wreaths from the ceiling or walls. Suspend them at varying heights to create visual interest.
Use Energy-Efficient Lights
LED Christmas lights are brighter and last longer than traditional incandescent bulbs. They may cost more upfront, but they use less energy over time, making them a smart choice for any business.
Many of Balsam Hill’s pre-lit commercial artificial Christmas trees come with energy-efficient LED lights in a range of styles. Choose from clear or multicoloured LEDs with innovative features. Select models let you choose different light modes, set a timer, and control the lights with a remote or an app.
Keep Your Theme Consistent
With so much space to decorate, it can be easy to lose sight of your overall look. A good place to start is with your Christmas tree trimmings. Keep everything coordinated by matching your interior décor to the theme and colours you choose for your tree. Looking for ideas? Visit our gallery for Christmas tree decorating themes.
