The entrance of a hotel can be decorated with the Christmas lanterns. The same is true for the gardens of the resort, or even the pathway. But when we talk about the hotel chain and resorts, then some problems related to time, storage space, and maintenance have to be thought of.
The process of designing a reusable Christmas lantern display involves more than just the selection of figures that fit the Christmas theme. Size, structure, materials used, and the manner of assembly will influence the process of setting up the decorations and preparing them for the following holiday season.
Plan the Display Around Resort Spaces
Various parts of the resort call for various kinds of Christmas lanterns. A special focal point should be created at the entrance area, while the gardens and the paths should have small lanterns installed along the path.
Create a Focal Point at the Entrance
Christmas trees, lighted arches, and Santa Claus lanterns can be used to create an atmosphere of the holiday at the entrance area. It is important to take into account their sizes and make sure that they do not interfere with passing cars and pedestrians.
For instance, a 3.8-meter high Santa Claus lantern, used in a commercial display case, has a split design which makes transportation and assembly easier. It shows how the needs of the installation process affect the design of large lanterns.
Extend the Theme into Gardens and Public Areas
Lanterns should be used with reindeers, snowmen, gift boxes, and snowflakes to connect the garden, lawn, and pathways. Colors and designs should be repeated for creating a uniform design while not putting every space full of big structures.
Lanterns that are small in size will also be helpful in complementing the overall display in front of restaurants, outdoor seating, and lobby of hotels. Pathways should be considered while doing the outdoor decoration.
Choose Christmas Lanterns That Can Be Reused
Most practical lanterns that can be used in resort areas include traditional festive decorations, along with customized designs. This enables the owners of the resort to keep their traditional decorations but change their look every year.
Invest in Timeless Christmas Elements
Christmas trees, reindeer, snowmen, snowflakes, and gift boxes can be used to create various designs and color themes. A set of such icons will ensure that the Christmas spirit is present across all zones of display.
Personalized lanterns will allow for distinct colors or designs, which can symbolize the property. The collection need not be changed entirely each year; just some of the decorations can be changed.
Use Modular Structures
Modular construction can be helpful for big constructions in terms of transport and assembling and even possible alterations in the future. This depends on the design of the building since buildings can be easily split into several modules.
While ordering custom Christmas lanterns, it is important to know about module size, connections used, labeling of components, and availability of lighting parts. Modular construction needs to be thought about even before production starts.
Combine Custom and Standardized Designs
Individual hotels in the group can utilize special entrance lanterns, while common items like Christmas trees and gift boxes can be used by many places. This allows for both individuality and efficiency regarding the purchasing process.
Plan for Installation, Dismantling, and Storage
The reusable Christmas decorations that will be bought commercially have to remain functional during the entire time in use. The criteria for installation and storage of the decoration will thus be incorporated in the initial brief.
Prepare for Installation
Prior to production, determine the dimensions of the site, means of transportation, installation facilities, and conditions for placement. Depending on the environment, outdoor units will need suitable anchors, weatherproof electrical parts, and proper environmental protection.
Ask the supplier for dimensioned plans and instructions for assembly. Early evaluation of the proposed installation method may be especially useful for large installations.
Simplify Seasonal Dismantling
Prepare the disassembly plan along with the assembly process. Identify each of the components by zone placement and locations and take photos of the original arrangement of the components.
At the end of the season, inspect all the frames, hardware, wiring, connections, and lighting components. This helps identify the damaged or missing pieces that need repair for the following year’s installation.
Protect Lanterns During Storage
Even the need for storage may affect the selection of the lantern and its construction. It is important to know the sizes of the lanterns you order, and how they should be packaged to prevent damage to them.
The lanterns should be sorted out by type and place where they should be used. For hotels operating more than one hotel, it may be useful to create an inventory list that can be used for storing the lanterns.
It is important to note that reusability doesn’t always equal cost-effectiveness. The trick is in longevity, repairs, storage, transportation, and further reuse.
Refresh the Display Without Replacing Everything
Such an adaptable hotel Christmas lantern display will allow for seasonal changes every year by using the same basic design.
It will be possible to vary the color palette of the display or modify the locations where existing lanterns are installed as well as add some more decorations to the established focal points. The installation of a new entrance decoration or creation of another spot for taking photos is also an option in order to rejuvenate the experience without getting rid of all the already created decorations.
When designing a multi-seasonal display plan, one should start with the creation of the main display at the first season. Season two will be focused on making modifications and adding some new decorations along with the condition of previous ones.
What to Confirm When Sourcing Reusable Christmas Decorations
When looking for reusable Christmas lantern displays for business premises, customers have to look at the following factors when making purchase decisions:
- Design and Dimensions: Verify theme of the design, placement location of the display, total display size, and ease of transport.
- Construction and materials: Analyze construction designs, materials used for decorations and lighting, and the operational setting of the design.
- Installation and Maintenance: Request engineering drawings and instructions on assembly of displays and inspection or replacement of any of its components.
- Packaging and Storage: Verify packaging sizes, materials used to protect display parts, component identification, and availability of spare parts.
For hotels chain, customers must verify the possibility of consistent manufacturing of displays.
