5 Holiday Décor Ideas to Make Your Commercial Space Feel Festive

The holiday season transforms ordinary spaces into destinations of warmth, joy, and connection. For property managers, office administrators, and facility directors, this is the perfect opportunity to create an inviting environment that inspires employees and impresses visitors. Whether your building is sleek and modern or filled with timeless charm, the right décor plan sets the tone for the season.

At Foliage Design Systems, we design and install premium commercial holiday décor for offices, hotels, retail centers, and corporate campuses nationwide. Below are five distinctive design ideas—each inspired by real installations from our 2025 Holiday Lookbook—that showcase how to bring festive elegance to your space.

#1: Classic Red and Gold Elegance

Nothing captures holiday spirit quite like a tree dressed in rich reds, emerald greens, and shimmering golds. This look is both traditional and timeless—ideal for corporate lobbies and professional environments where sophistication is paramount. The combination of glossy ornaments, gold leaves, and bright poinsettias offers a cheerful nod to nostalgia while maintaining an elevated aesthetic.

Design tip: Layer ornament finishes, such as matte, metallic, and glitter, for added visual depth. Add warm white lighting to emphasize the texture and shine of your décor.

#2: Rustic Woodland Charm

For a more organic approach, try a woodland-inspired design with natural textures and earthy tones. Think pinecones, frosted branches, and clusters of berries paired with champagne or bronze accents. This look blends beautifully with hospitality spaces, healthcare facilities, and open-concept lobbies where a cozy, welcoming atmosphere matters most.

Design tip: Complement your holiday tree with poinsettias and wrapped packages at the base to create a grounded, complete vignette that invites people to linger.

#3: Winter White Sophistication

Sleek, crisp, and quietly luxurious—white and silver décor is a favorite for modern workplaces and high-end offices. This palette reflects light beautifully, giving a clean, polished feel that enhances both contemporary and minimalist interiors. Snowflake ornaments, silver ribbon, and soft white poinsettias work together to create an elegant winter atmosphere without overpowering the space.

Design tip: Pair white and silver with cool-toned florals or orchids to extend the holiday aesthetic across reception desks and conference tables.

#4: Botanical Green Glamour

Nature takes center stage in this green-on-green concept, blending biophilic design principles with holiday sparkle. Mossy textures, soft gold accents, and natural ornamentation harmonize with live plants and interior greenery. This palette works exceptionally well in buildings that already embrace plant design—creating a seamless extension of the brand’s year-round environment.

Design tip: Use complementary greenery such as garlands or wreaths with subtle metallic detailing to tie the theme across entrances, corridors, and common areas.

#5: Modern Luxe Metallics

For properties that want to make a bold impression, black, gold, and platinum décor delivers a striking, upscale statement. The key is balance—using metallic ornaments in a variety of finishes to create dimension without feeling heavy. Perfect for urban towers and executive lobbies, this look radiates confidence and sophistication.

Design tip: Anchor the design with wrapped gift boxes in coordinating metallic papers to create a cohesive, high-impact presentation from top to bottom.
