As Mariah Carey would say... it’s tiiiiiiiiime! 🎶
It's that time of year again when we start thinking about how to decorate our homes for Christmas, the perfect holiday look, or the star dish for Christmas Eve. But what about the office? Such an essential space in our daily lives can’t be left without a holiday touch. Today, in our Magazine, we’ll share our ideas for decorating your workspace during the holiday season.
Christmas is that special time of year when everything fills with color, warmth, and a touch of magic. So why not bring that festive atmosphere into the office too? Decorating the workspace for Christmas has many benefits—not only does it improve the team’s mood, but it can also strengthen the spirit of collaboration. Here are some key reasons why it’s worth bringing out the lights, garlands, and getting into the holiday spirit! 🎄
Enhancing the work environment
When the workspace transforms into a cozy, festive setting, employees tend to feel more comfortable and cheerful. That “feels like home” vibe can help reduce stress and improve the overall work atmosphere. Add a few holiday tunes or sweet treats, and the Christmas spirit is guaranteed!
Boosting motivation and productivity
Being surrounded by beautiful, fun decor makes the office days feel less monotonous, and during festive times like Christmas, it can serve as a reminder that a break is just around the corner. Doesn’t that kind of decor give you an extra motivation boost to close out the year strong?
Fostering team spirit
Holiday decorations are also a great opportunity to involve the entire team. Decorating together, sharing ideas, and crafting as a group strengthen bonds and foster a collaborative and friendly atmosphere.
Assess available spaces
Every office is unique: some have spacious areas, while others are more compact. It’s essential to carefully consider the corners that can be decorated to avoid overcrowding the space and ensure everyone has enough room to move around. If you work in a flexible space, like those at Lexington, decorating the shared areas can be a fantastic idea! These spaces are spacious and ideal for gatherings and themed events. That’s how we celebrate Christmas at Lexington, starting from our breakout areas:

Respect the company culture and policies
At all times, it’s crucial to respect the organizational culture and company policies. Some offices may prefer more subdued decorations, while others might opt for a more festive and colorful style. Let’s make sure that everyone feels comfortable with the atmosphere!
Set a budget for decorations
You don’t need to spend a fortune to create a charming festive environment. Setting a budget will allow you to make the most of available resources and prevent last-minute purchases from getting out of hand.
Christmas can be sustainable and conscious too!
1. Christmas tree for the office
A classic that can’t be missed. You can choose a smaller tree that doesn’t take up too much space or go for an alternative tree made from recycled materials.
2. Desk decorations
Encourage employees to decorate their own spaces with mini trees, small holiday figurines, or ornaments that reflect their personality.
3. Christmas lighting: lights and garlands
Lighting is key to creating that magical Christmas atmosphere. Lights and garlands can be the finishing touch that makes the office shine (literally 😉).
4. Themed walls and doors
Walls and doors can become true Christmas canvases. From garlands to wreaths.
5. Cozy holiday corners for breaks
The break room is a key place to add Christmas details and make breaks even more enjoyable.
6. Decorated reception area
The reception is the first impression employees and visitors receive. Give it a festive touch!
7. Alternative and sustainable christmas trees
If you want to make a difference, go for a Christmas tree made from recycled materials. It's creative, eco-friendly, and... it’ll definitely get people talking!
8. Holiday craft activities for employees
Organizing holiday craft activities is a fantastic way to bring the team together. It encourages creativity, teamwork, and adds a personal touch to the office decor.
9. Window decoration with artificial snow
Decorating the windows with artificial snow is an easy way to transform the office into a winter wonderland.
10. Christmas photo wall of the team
Creating a wall with photos of the team celebrating Christmas is a lovely way to remember special moments and strengthen team spirit.

Avoid overloading the space
It’s important not to overcrowd the office with decorations, as an overly busy environment can be counterproductive. A balanced, festive atmosphere is key for maintaining productivity.
Ensure decorations are safe and non-flammable
Safety comes first. Make sure decorations are safe, don’t obstruct exits or access points, and are non-flammable, especially if using lights or candles.
Keep the decoration inclusive and respectful for all employees
Remember, not everyone celebrates Christmas in the same way. It’s essential to maintain inclusive decorations so that everyone feels comfortable and welcome, regardless of their personal traditions.
