It might feel like the leaves have only just started to turn, but Christmas will be upon us before we know it. The holiday season is often when hotels, bars and restaurants are at their busiest; playing host to office parties, family get-togethers and romantic getaways.
Things might look a little different in 2020, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still indulge in some festive decoration. Some luxury hotels hire teams of decorators and stylists who work months in advance to create the perfect ambiance, but you don’t need a full glam team to bring some Christmas spirit to your establishment. If you’re looking for some fun, festive ways to decorate your hotel this holiday season, read on for our handy guide.
Think about your hotel style
The decor you choose should always compliment your hotel’s style and brand, even if those decorations are only seasonal. Traditional decorations like a large lobby tree, holly and plenty of ornaments look right at home in a grand, old school style hotel. If your establishment is more contemporary then you can think a little more outside the box. Try an abstract sculpture of baubles or a pared back, modern Christmas tree made from glass or steel.
Natural materials
Many hotels choose a large natural Christmas tree as their centrepiece, but why stop there? Natural decorations like holly, ivy, pine cones and dried fruit add a magical, cosy feel to the building. Try adding natural wreaths on doors, sprigs of holly in table centrepieces and fairy lights intertwined with vases of twigs.
Choose a colour palette
Red, green, gold and silver are all traditional Christmas colours, but you don’t have to stick to a strictly traditional colour palette. Work with the existing colours in your hotel, as well as different shades to keep things interesting. Metallic elements always add a festive feel, whether they’re gold, silver, bronze or even metallic shades of green, purple or blue.
