Holiday Lighting That Works for Your Property
Commercial Christmas lighting has a different purpose than decorating a home.
Your display may be seen by hundreds or thousands of customers, tenants, employees and visitors throughout the season. It becomes part of the appearance of the property and, for customer-facing businesses, part of the experience people associate with your location.
The right lighting plan depends on the building, property and audience.
Potential areas to highlight include:
- Building rooflines
- Storefronts
- Main entrances
- Architectural features
- Columns
- Walkways
- Trees
- Shrubs
- Landscape features
- Common areas
- Customer-facing exterior spaces
- Multiple buildings within the same property
Rather than simply adding lights, the goal is to determine where holiday lighting will have the greatest visual impact.
Christmas Lighting for Different Types of Commercial Properties
Different businesses have different lighting needs.
A restaurant may want to create a warm, inviting entrance. A retail location may want maximum visibility from the road. An apartment community may want to create an impressive experience around its entrance and common areas.
PTM Pressure Washing can plan Christmas lighting around the way your specific property is used.
Retail Stores & Shopping Centers
Holiday shopping makes the Christmas season especially important for retail properties.
Christmas lighting can help make storefronts and shopping areas feel more seasonal while increasing the property's visibility after dark.
Potential focal points include:
- Storefront rooflines
- Main entrances
- Shopping center entrances
- Trees and landscaping
- Customer walkways
- Prominent architectural features
For larger retail properties, lighting can also be concentrated around the highest-traffic areas rather than treating every part of the property equally.
Restaurant Christmas Light Installation
For restaurants, the customer experience starts before someone walks through the door.
Exterior Christmas lighting can create a warm, inviting atmosphere that helps your location feel festive throughout the holiday season.
Lighting can be planned around:
- Restaurant rooflines
- Front entrances
- Patios
- Walkways
- Trees
- Shrubs
- Landscaping
- Other customer-facing exterior areas
This can be particularly effective for restaurants that experience increased dinners, parties and group gatherings during the holidays..
Office & Professional Building Holiday Lighting
Christmas lighting doesn't have to be elaborate to make an office property feel more inviting.
Clean architectural lighting around a roofline, entrance or landscaping can create a polished seasonal appearance for employees, clients and visitors.
Professional buildings may benefit from focusing lighting around:
- Main entrances
- Rooflines
- Monument or entrance areas
- Walkways
- Trees
- Landscaping
The objective can be a more understated, professional holiday appearance rather than an oversized display.
Apartment & Multifamily Christmas Lighting
For apartment communities and multifamily properties, holiday lighting can become part of the resident experience.
Instead of decorating individual buildings indiscriminately, a display can focus on the areas that residents and prospective tenants see most often.
Potential focal points include:
- Community entrances
- Clubhouses
- Leasing offices
- Common areas
- Main buildings
- Trees
- Landscaping
- Walkways
Lighting these high-visibility areas can help create a stronger seasonal atmosphere across the community without requiring every building to become part of the display.
Hotel & Hospitality Christmas Lighting
The holidays are about creating experiences, making seasonal presentation particularly important for hospitality properties.
Exterior Christmas lighting can help establish that experience before a guest ever enters the lobby.
Hotels and hospitality properties can use lighting to emphasize:
- Main entrances
- Drop-off areas
- Rooflines
- Architectural features
- Walkways
- Trees and landscaping
- Outdoor guest areas
For properties hosting holiday parties, corporate gatherings or seasonal events, exterior lighting can also help establish the atmosphere guests experience when they arrive.
Christmas Lighting for Property Management Companies
Managing a commercial property already means coordinating vendors, maintenance, tenants and seasonal needs.
Holiday lighting shouldn't become another project your team has to handle internally.
PTM Pressure Washing can work with property managers and commercial property owners throughout Northwest Indiana to plan lighting around the property's most important customer- and tenant-facing areas.
If you manage multiple properties, let us know when requesting your quote so we can discuss the scope and locations involved.
HOA & Community Holiday Lighting
Neighborhood entrances and shared spaces are natural locations for community Christmas displays.
HOAs can use professional holiday lighting to create a consistent seasonal appearance around areas such as:
- Neighborhood entrances
- Clubhouses
- Community buildings
- Common areas
- Trees
- Landscaping
- Shared gathering spaces
A professionally planned display can help create a recognizable focal point for residents while keeping the design appropriate for the surrounding community.
When Should Businesses Plan Christmas Light Installation?
Your desired completion date may be tied to more than Christmas itself.
You may want your display ready before:
- Holiday shopping begins
- A seasonal promotion launches
- Thanksgiving weekend
- A company Christmas party
- A community event
- A tenant event
- A hotel or restaurant event
- Another scheduled holiday activity
If your business needs Christmas lights installed before a specific date, let us know early in the planning process.
The closer the holiday season gets, the more important scheduling becomes.
Planning Commercial Christmas Lighting Around Your Budget
Commercial properties can vary dramatically in size and complexity.
A small storefront has different needs than a shopping center, apartment community or large commercial campus.
That's why we recommend thinking about your Christmas lighting in terms of priorities rather than simply the number of lights.
If you're working within a specific budget, identify the areas that matter most.
Is your priority:
- Road visibility?
- Your main entrance?
- Customer experience?
- Tenant experience?
- Architectural appearance?
- Landscaping?
- Creating a large signature display?
Knowing the objective helps determine where the lighting budget can have the greatest impact.
