Metal shelving is a very versatile and functional element for organizing and displaying products in your store. But in addition to their practical utility, they can also add a touch of style and personality to your commercial space, in particular, if you combine them with other Christmas decorative elements.
As we are getting closer to the Christmas season, at Promargon we wanted to share in this post some ideas for you to make the most of the potential of metal shelves and integrate them into your Christmas decorations.
Make your business stand out at Christmas with these recommendations
– Choose the right color
Metal shelves are usually available in a variety of colors, and neutrals such as white, black, or gray, but this doesn’t mean that your decorations have to carry the same tones. You can make color combinations with ribbons (for example) to create visual harmony with the rest of your holiday decor.
We recommend that you choose colors that match the ornaments you are going to place on or near the shelves. If you are going to use balls, garlands or colored lights, you can opt for a white or black metallic shelf to highlight the contrast. If you prefer a more sober and elegant decoration, you can pick a gray metallic shelf or add a golden tone that adds a touch of brightness and sophistication.
– Add natural elements to your metal shelving
One way to add warmth and life to your metal shelving is to incorporate natural elements such as plants, flowers, pine cones, branches, or fruits. These elements will help you create a cozy and festive atmosphere, as well as add color and texture to your space. You can place them in pots, vases, baskets, or trays on the shelves of the shelf, or hang them with ropes or wires from the metal structure. You can also place scented candles or essential oil diffusers to create a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere for your customers.
Christmas ornaments are not all on metal shelving
– Play with the lighting of your metal shelves
Lighting is a key factor in creating a Christmas atmosphere in your store. In addition to the general lighting of the store, you can use specific lights to highlight and decorate your metal shelving. For example, you can try using LED lights around the metal structure, or place small lamps or lanterns on the shelves. You can also use imitation candles to create an intimate and cozy effect. Just make sure that the lights do not dazzle or disturb your customers, and that they do not pose a fire hazard.
– Create a Christmas showcase
If your metal shelving is located near the entrance or the window of your store, you can take advantage of it to create a Christmas window display that attracts the attention of passers-by and invites them to enter. To do this, you can place on the shelf some of the products you want to promote during these dates, accompanied by Christmas decorative elements that enhance them and relate them to the festive theme.
For example, if you sell books, you can place some copies along with ornaments such as balls, stars, or socks. If you sell clothes, you can put some items together with accessories such as hats, scarves, or gloves. The important thing is that you create a balanced and harmonious composition that shows the best of your commercial offer.
As you can see, metal shelves are much more than just a simple piece of furniture to store and organize your products. With a little imagination and creativity, you can turn them into a Christmas decorative element that brings personality and style to your store.
