It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year. And if you’re someone engaged in the 9-to-5 routine, you definitely spend half of your life in a sterile office. For that reason, transforming your workspace for the Christmas season is a great way to not only spread the holiday cheer but create a setting where you all will be more productive. There are loads of office and home decor bundles that you can browse online to find something that fits your corporate space. Plus, we’re here to provide you with some effective suggestions to help you get inspired to create a festive ambiance.
First Comes the Entrance
Let your visitors know that it’s (almost) the ho-ho-ho season! The very moment they open the door, garlands and wreaths should welcome them. Decorate the front door using a festive wreath that blends perfectly with the interior design of your office. In this case, you can pick a good old evergreen or go for a modern touch. Ribbons, ornaments, or some brand-related items will help. At the same time, we recommend paying attention to the welcoming mats. As soon as your clients step in, they’ll dive into the winter wonderland! The best thing about the welcoming mats is that they do not take up a lot of vertical or horizontal space but still infuse the holiday charm into the environment.
Next Step – the Reception Area
The reception desk was made to serve as a perfect spot for a small decorated Xmas tree! Or, as an alternative, you can place it in a corner next to the reception desk so that it’ll immediately hook your visitors’ attention. If you think that sharing a holiday greeting is a must in the office, install letterboards or chalkboards. For example, you can use them as a countdown to Christmas or just an opportunity to send a non-traditional ‘message’ to your colleagues. Finally, holiday lights are a must-have! String some LED lights along the reception desk. Besides, you’re welcome to add some around the ceiling to have a pinch of fairy tales in the corporate setting. The best thing about lights that work on batteries is that you don’t have to seek an outlet.
Let Christmas in the Workstations!
No Yuletide office décor is complete without holiday mugs, tiny trees, and hats of Santa Claus provided for every computer monitor! These are cute, holiday-themed, and inspiring accessories that never crowd your workspace. If possible, find holiday covers for chairs. These usually include reindeer antlers and Santa hats that turn even the dullest workstation into a mini-wonderland. Oh, and don’t forget about office supplies with Xmas-themed décor! Sticky notes, pens, or any other items shaped like Christmas stars, trees, and reindeer will do the job.
Create an Area with Holiday Treats
Taking a break during long office hours is a must. During Christmas time, y’all appreciate having a mini-station with unlimited hot cocoa and cookies. Add some marshmallows, candy canes, and chocolate that you will enjoy together while sharing the latest gossip or planning your Xmas party. Finally, create a festive playlist to add a holiday vibe to the corporate environment. Make sure to use classics and some soft music so they don’t distract people from work.
Christmas is upon us, guys, so the best time to start decorating is…now!
