Choose a Commercial Christmas Theme

Red & Gold Christmas Theme

A red and gold Christmas theme creates a warm, traditional holiday look that works across commercial trees, wreaths, garlands, entrances, and lobby displays.

Recommended for:

• Hotels and resorts
• Shopping centers
• Municipal buildings
• Restaurants
• Corporate offices
• Traditional holiday events

Use red as the dominant color and gold as the metallic accent. Warm white lighting can support the warmer color palette.

Silver & Blue Christmas Theme

Silver and blue create a cooler winter-inspired palette suited to contemporary commercial environments.

Recommended locations include:

• Hotel atriums
• Modern retail centers
• Entertainment venues
• Corporate headquarters
• Winter-themed events
• Resort interiors

Pair silver and blue ornaments with white accents and cool white lighting when the project calls for a crisp winter appearance.

Metallic Christmas Theme

A metallic Christmas theme combines colors such as gold, silver, champagne, bronze, and copper.

This palette works well for:

• Hotels
• Resorts
• Upscale restaurants
• Corporate reception areas
• Formal event spaces
• Premium retail environments

Mix matte, shiny, glitter, and textured ornament finishes to create depth without adding too many unrelated colors.

Green & Gold Christmas Theme

Green and gold reinforce a traditional Christmas palette while keeping the display more focused than a full multicolor program.

Use this theme for:

• Commercial lobbies
• Hotels
• Country clubs
• Restaurants
• Municipal displays
• Traditional retail environments

Green ornaments can blend naturally with artificial foliage, while gold adds contrast across trees, wreaths, and garlands.

White & Silver Christmas Theme

White and silver work well for winter, snow-inspired, and neutral commercial Christmas displays.

Recommended applications include:

• Hotels and resorts
• Contemporary offices
• Shopping center interiors
• Event spaces
• Winter-themed installations
• Cool-white lighting programs

Add snowflakes, silver finials, white ornaments, flocked greenery, and coordinated lighting to reinforce the theme.

Classic Multicolor Christmas Theme

A classic multicolor theme combines traditional colors such as red, green, gold, and blue.

This option works well for:

• Family-oriented shopping centers
• Municipal holiday programs
• Entertainment venues
• Community events
• Festivals
• Large public displays

Keep the palette controlled by repeating the same approved colors across trees, wreaths, garlands, and nearby displays.

Build a Commercial Christmas Theme Step by Step

1. Choose the Primary Color Palette

Start with two or three main colors.

Use the Shop Ornaments by Color guide to compare traditional, metallic, contemporary, and specialty ornament colors.

2. Add Ornament Shapes & Finishes

After choosing the colors, add visual variation with round ornaments, finials, stars, diamonds, spiral drops, and specialty shapes.

Explore Shop Ornaments by Shape.

3. Select the Christmas Tree

Match the tree to the scale and location of the property.

Use Commercial Artificial Christmas Trees for lobbies, retail spaces, restaurants, offices, and hospitality interiors.

For large atriums, plazas, resorts, and high-visibility displays, explore Giant Artificial Christmas Trees.

4. Extend the Theme With Greenery

Carry the same ornament colors and lighting into wreaths and garlands.

Use Commercial Greenery across:

• Entrances
• Railings
• Columns
• Balconies
• Reception areas
• Storefronts
• Architectural features

Repeating the same palette helps connect separate display zones across a property.

5. Add Lighting & Large Display Elements

Lighting should support the chosen theme instead of competing with it.

Warm white lighting generally supports traditional red, gold, green, champagne, and copper palettes. Cool white lighting can work well with silver, white, blue, and contemporary themes.

Large properties can also extend the theme into commercial lighted displays, walkthroughs, and photo opportunities.

Planning a Property-Wide Christmas Theme

For a commercial project, define the design system before purchasing individual décor.

Confirm:

• Primary and accent colors
• Ornament shapes and finishes
• Tree sizes
• Lighting color
• Wreath and garland locations
• Large display zones
• Entrances and arrival areas
• Photo opportunities
• Installation requirements
• Replacement inventory
• Storage requirements
• Multi-year reuse plan

This approach makes it easier to maintain a consistent appearance across multiple buildings, entrances, and public-facing areas.

Professional holiday installers, commercial decorators, and resellers can apply for the St Nicks Installer Wholesale Program for commercial purchasing and project sourcing.

Choose a commercial Christmas theme, then coordinate ornaments, trees, greenery, lighting, and display elements around one clear property-wide design.
