Decorating the office for the holiday season is nostalgic not only for your employees but also for the general public to enjoy during the most beautiful time of the year. From hanging sparkly lights from your building’s exterior to adding wreaths on your windows, decorating for the holidays appeals to passersby and enhances the customer experience, especially if your commercial property is a retail store, hotel, restaurant, or any other public building that attracts guests or customers.

If your building has outdoor commercial planters that stay in place year-round, did you know that you can also decorate them to be festive during the holiday season? It’s time to get creative and let PolyMade give you some tips for decorating your commercial planters for the holiday season!

Tips for Decorating Commercial Planters for the Holiday Season

Do you string up lights around your commercial property each holiday season? Whether you hire professionals to hang your lights, wreaths, and other displays, or your whole team assists, don’t forget to include decorating your planters! They’re an integral part of your building’s aesthetic, adding value to your property, attracting passersby, and enhancing the overall customer experience.

Below are some tips for decorating planters for the holiday season so they, too, can get in on the holiday fun:

Switch to Hardy, Evergreens

What type of plants do you have inside your commercial planters? Whether you have annuals that need replacing, perennials that need some TLC, or you’re ready to spruce up your arrangements, consider switching to hardy evergreens this holiday season. Not only do evergreens remind everyone of the holidays, but they’re also beautiful and can tolerate the cold. Incorporate evergreens like junipers, boxwoods, or spruces into your commercial planters to add a touch of elegance and hardiness.

Add Seasonal Colors

Adding plants with fall and winter seasonal colors is a great way to decorate your outdoor commercial planters for the holidays. Choose rich, bold fall hues such as purple asters or plants with vibrant fall foliage like mums or coral bells. Some examples of winter plants that add seasonal colors, such as greens and reds, are wintergreens, holly, or skimmia. Whatever plants you choose, adding seasonal colors, whether from the foliage, stems, or flowers, gives a pop of color that pairs perfectly with your other holiday decor. 

Add Lighting

Where do you usually string up lights around your property’s exterior? Perhaps along the roofline, entryway, or bushes surrounding the entrance? Rethink your exterior lighting by adding some to your commercial planters. Lighting up those gorgeous evergreens or blooms gives your plants an extra glow that attracts the attention of passersby and potential clients or customers. Get creative by experimenting with warm white, colorful, or twinkling lights!

Decorate with Large-Scale Ornaments

Another great way to decorate your commercial concrete planters is to decorate with large-scale ornaments. Adding colorful or shiny large-scale ornaments gives your planters a festive feel while attracting the public and offering an amazing aesthetic. Everyone is sure to notice your business with large-scale ornaments!

Choose Sturdy Materials

Severe weather can strike at any moment during the winter months, whether you live in a region that gets plenty of snowfall, ice storms, heavy rainfall, or strong wind gusts. Whatever the case, choosing sturdy materials to decorate your planters will ensure your decor will withstand whatever weather winter throws your way. Plus, sturdy materials can be used year after year, making the decorations a great investment.
