Windows and storefront identity
Architectural outlines, greenery, lighting, and dimensional accents can frame the campaign while preserving logo, promotion, mannequin, and product visibility.
Holiday décor for retail
Commercial Holiday Décor for Retail Stores
HLI translates retail holiday direction into storefront lighting, windows, entries, trees, greenery, and interior moments that respect merchandise, launch dates, landlord rules, and store operations.
Storefront visibility
Create a consistent holiday look without hiding each store's identity
Consistent architectural lighting can connect a retail property while leaving storefront names, windows, promotions, entrances, and customer parking easy to read.
Warm white roofline lighting connects neighboring storefronts while preserving individual signage.
Retail Stores & Brand Environments project request
Request holiday lighting for Retail Stores & Brand Environments
Share the property, working budget, address, and holiday result you want. HLI will review the site details and follow up with the right next step.
Commercial projects begin at $3,000. HLI confirms the final scope and pricing after reviewing the property.
Property-specific planning
Retail décor should support the campaign, not become visual competition
The customer should still understand the brand, promotion, entrance, merchandise, and path through the store. Holiday elements work best when they frame the storefront and key interior moments, use a controlled palette, and leave room for signs, mannequins, displays, queues, and changing product stories.
HLI coordinates with visual merchandising, store operations, landlord or center management, security, and receiving. The install plan identifies the campaign reveal, overnight or pre-opening windows, stock deliveries, floor and fixture protection, power, service access, and the removal deadline.
One property, one complete program
Create a connected experience from the first arrival to the final focal point

Entry, queue, and pickup
Seasonal arrival details can welcome customers when doors, security pedestals, curbside or pickup zones, and holiday queue capacity remain clear.
03 / 03
Interior merchandise moments
Trees and décor can anchor a department or cash-wrap area if replenishment, sightlines, fixtures, customer reach, and floor cleaning are considered.
Beautiful through the full season
Keep the property moving and the display looking its best
HLI coordinates design, installation, in-season service, removal, and storage as one complete program, with the property schedule considered from the beginning.
Hit the campaign reveal date
Design approvals, samples, fabrication, delivery, landlord review, installation, styling, and photography are reverse-scheduled from the public launch.
Preserve merchandise flexibility
Décor locations and footprints account for changing fixtures, product drops, replenishment, sale signage, returns, and the store's peak queue plan.
Coordinate center and store rules
Freight routes, after-hours access, loading, insurance, lift use, fire review, floor protection, and storefront limits are confirmed with both parties.
Plan a clean strike
Removal is sequenced around inventory, post-holiday sales, returns, fixture changes, landlord deadlines, and the condition in which surfaces must be handed back.

Retail Stores & Brand Environments questions
What to know before you request a quote
01Can HLI follow a national retail campaign guide?
Yes. Provide the visual standard, approved colors and materials, prohibited substitutions, planograms or elevations, launch date, landlord requirements, and review contacts.
02Can the installation happen overnight?
Overnight work can be scoped when mall or landlord access, freight routes, store security, alarm procedures, floor protection, lifts, receiving, and morning handback are defined.
03Will décor interfere with holiday merchandise changes?
The plan identifies fixture movement, replenishment, product drops, cash-wrap and pickup queues, sale signage, and customer reach so the display does not lock the store into one layout.
04Can HLI roll out several stores in one region?
A regional rollout can use one approved design kit with site surveys, exception notes, geographic sequencing, local access contacts, service records, and labeled storage by location.
