Commercial Holiday Decorations for Hotel Lobbies

Let Your Lobby Speak for You

Your lobby is the first thing guests see when they enter your space. Because of this, it's important that you that you dedicate significant time and effort to your lobby's holiday decor. The design of your hotel lobby should leave a lasting impression on your guests, especially during the holiday travel season. 

With the right decor, you can communicate a lot about your brand. Not only will strategically planned holiday decor help you set the mood for guests when they visit your hotel, but your decor can also help you enhance your brand image and leave a lasting impression on visitors. 

So, what can you do to make the most of your lobby decor?

Strategic Holiday Decorating

The first thing you'll want to consider is the size of your lobby. No two hotels are built the same and the amount of space you have available to you will have a major impact on how you decorate the space. Some hotels have large, multi-story lobbies with lots of open space and grand staircases. Lobbies like these would benefit from dramatic pieces, like tower trees, that can help fill the space. Other hotels may have a cozy, single-room lobby with a quaint resting area. Before making any decisions on decor, you'll need to decide what best suits the size of your space. 

You'll also want to think about your existing decor. If your holiday decor clashes with the decor, you have year-round, your holiday landscape won't have the effect you're looking for. Your holiday decor needs to align with the rest of your decor. The decor pieces you select don't have to be an exact match, but if you're going for a minimalistic look in the rest of your hotel, you should apply those same design concepts to your holiday landscape. The same is true when you're deciding what color palette to use in your decor. The color scheme of your holiday decor should align with what you already have in your lobby. 

Once you know what kind of decor you want to use in your space, you can start thinking about where to place decor elements. You can add centerpieces and faux presents to your tables or place garland and wreaths in your elevator bays. Trees can be placed almost anywhere in the lobby. And, if you're looking to fill the space underneath your trees, you can also add artificial snow or animals. Ribbons, lights, and live plants can also be great additions to your holiday landscape. 

Hire a Professional

Managing the decor process by yourself can be overwhelming, but you don't have to go it alone. You can partner with trained designers to ensure that your vision is brought to life. Instead of stressing about what would look best in your lobby, you'd be able to consult with your designer to ensure that each decor element enhances your space. Not only will partnering with a design consultant give you a resource to ensure that you reap the best possible results from your holiday landscape, but depending on the provider you partner with, you may also get assistance with the installation and take-down process. 

The first thing guests will see when they enter your space is your lobby. It's crucial that your lobby's design is both memorable and impactful. During the holiday travel season, the best way to achieve this is through strategic decor planning. By aligning your holiday decor with your existing decor and considering the needs of your space, you can ensure that your design leaves a lasting impression on everyone who visits your space.
