Moreover, artificial flowers and wreaths have become popular holiday decorations. They are made from a variety of materials such as silk, plastic, paper, or fabric to simulate real flowers and foliage.

The focal point remained the stunning central bow necklace, its bold black and white palette with touches of gold exuding Parisian elegance. Its oversized proportions and prominence made it the most desirable gift of all. The romantic, whimsical store display epitomized Chanel style and embodied the dreamy beauty and allure of the season. It invited viewers into a world of sparkling jewels and the excitement of unwrapping a Chanel gift on Christmas Day.
Other Ornaments else and Customized Christmas Props: Large Christmas trees call for big, eye-catching decorations. Oversized Stainless steel or fiberglass stars, bells, moons, clouds and more are often hung in trees, something like large fiberglass candy canes, lollipops, gift boxes and candy bows add a whimsical touch. Glittering stars and snowflakes illuminate trees at night.
Custom fiberglass decorations are also popular for public Christmas displays. Giant glass ball ornaments, snowmen, presents, angels, and Christmas characters like Santa Claus, reindeer, and elves are created. These bring a sense of wonder and fantasy to holiday decorating.
Bells and stars may be accented with ribbon. Moons and clouds can have sparkling accents. Themed decor like snowmen, gingerbread men, or soldiers are sometimes showcased.

In 2021, Tiffany & Co. wowed crowds with its Fairytale Wonderland Christmas windows, an amazing visual display project featuring fluffy white clouds drifting across a midnight blue backdrop, illuminated by the magical glow of a crescent moon and scattered stars. The windows perfectly combine the stillness of the night with Tiffany’s signature sophistication, creating an enchanting modern fairytale scene that delighted the audience and brilliantly embodied the spirit of the Tiffany brand. The props highlight the classic flying bird shape from Tiffany jewelry standing on a purple diamond ring, a unique prop design that embodies Tiffany’s extraordinary sense of dreams, nostalgia and surprise.
These elements are usually found in Christmas decorations, each with its own symbolic meaning, and together they create a warm and joyful festive atmosphere. You can combine them according to your own preferences and creativity to create unique Christmas decorations for your own brand.
B. Glitter and Shimmer Elements
Adding some sparkle and shine is another trend that will make windows POP this season. Incorporating glitter, shimmering fabrics, mirrored surfaces, and other reflective materials draws the eye and adds a magical wintry feeling. Metallic golds, silvers, coppers, and jewel tones will be popular accents. From glittering snowflakes to shimmering gift boxes, a touch of radiance goes a long way.
Classical store window design representative project- The LV balls world theme
This past Christmas Holiday, Louis Vuitton collaborated with renowned Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama to craft a kaleidoscopic window display. Stepping into the Louis Vuitton store transported viewers into an immersive, surreal world of Kusama’s signature mirrored spheres. Thousands of intricately hand-painted spheres in brilliant hues of red, blue, green and yellow were suspended from the ceiling, swallowing up the environment in a dizzying optical illusion. As people moved around the space, the reflective surfaces fragmented their reflections into infinitely repeating patterns. This groundbreaking collaboration between Kusama, the “Queen of Polka Dots”, and Louis Vuitton offered a contemporary pop art spin on Christmas décor. The psychedelic, full sensory experience provided shoppers a brand new way to engage with Louis Vuitton’s iconic style and spirit of innovation.
Guerlain’s shiny gold windows with gold gift boxes display
This season display, Guerlain dazzled passersby with gilded windows that radiated luxurious opulence.

The metallic sheen, illuminated by soft lighting, created a warm, intimate feeling. It transformed the ordinary into something precious and rare. The rich gold tones alluded to the extravagance of Parisian evenings, while adding holiday magic to the elegant streetscape. Guerlain demonstrated that luxury need not be austere or minimalist. Rather, the overt decadence of the glittering gold mirrored the sumptuous textures found in Guerlain fragrances and cosmetics themselves. The dazzling display embodied Guerlain’s commitment to creating experiential moments that transport viewers to a world of luxury and beauty.
C. Sustainability window display theme
Eco-consciousness is at the forefront culturally, so showcasing sustainability will resonate with consumers. Creative recycling of materials, energy efficiency, and natural tools like LEDs allow window designers to have a green focus. Showcasing products from eco-friendly brands also aligns with this important value. Dior Brand has always set an example by using eco-friendly materials to create different window displays, which has also resulted in more brand benefits.
Just like 2021 Dior Flower Christmas Window Display made with flame retardant paper material. Dior captivated crowds with a sustainable window display that did not compromise on imagination or artistry. Garlands of delicately sculpted paper flowers adorned the windows, with petals via laser cutting to make the final flower design. Yet instead of fabric, the flowers were intricately cut by hand from treated fireproof paper, which is a recycled material. By choosing an unconventional eco-material crafted into lifelike works of art, Dior demonstrated that clean, white design does not preclude sophistication or beauty. The whole creative white floral window display reflected the House’s commitment to sustainability without sacrificing the dreamy romance synonymous with the Dior name during the holidays. Pedestrians were reminded that mindful creativity embodies the future of luxury.
D. Dynamic & Interactive window display elements
Innovative window dressers are using technology to create eye-catching, dynamic displays. Kinetic window displays feature moving parts powered by electric motors to bring mannequins and props to life. Simple repetitive motions like rotating a platform or raising and lowering props mesmerize passersby.
Interactive displays draw people in by responding to their motions. Sensors allow mannequins to turn their heads and wave as shoppers walk by. Touch screens let people browse merchandise digitally.
About the display props required for a dynamic or interactive shop windows need to be realized with the help of technological innovation, we will follow up with a detailed discussion of this special technology-filled window display, so stay tuned!
Every year we are amazed by the visual impact of a brand’s props design, and how each display project perfectly conveys the brand’s unique image, innovation and visual merchandising objectives. However, if all the imagination, art and design remain only as concepts and ideas, there is still no way to reach the hearts and minds of the customers, and no way to achieve the final marketing objectives.
