For the 2022 holiday season, Evolution Prop Shop supported Rove Hotels with a collection of large-scale Christmas decor installations, bringing festive character to hotel entrances and selected lobby spaces.

The decorative approach centred on oversized illuminated props and statement seasonal pieces, including towering gift installations, sculptural Christmas trees, illuminated snowflakes and giant Christmas baubles. Each element used scale, light and recognisable festive forms to create an immediate seasonal identity within the Rove Hotels environment.

The Challenge

Christmas styling within hospitality environments needs to create an immediate sense of occasion while working effectively across spaces with different proportions and functions.

For Rove Hotels, the decorative elements needed to provide strong visual impact at prominent entrance locations while also translating successfully into selected interior spaces. Large-scale props provided a clear visual language, allowing the festive theme to remain recognisable and impactful without relying solely on conventional small-format Christmas decorations.

Creative Styling Approach

Evolution Prop Shop used oversized illuminated props as the principal decorative feature throughout the seasonal installations.

Warm white illumination connected the different pieces visually, while variations in form gave individual installations their own character. The festive collection included a monumental arrangement of illuminated gift boxes finished with red ribbon detailing, contemporary geometric Christmas trees, large freestanding snowflakes and oversized Christmas baubles.

For the interior styling, blue, silver-grey and white baubles with gold detailing introduced a cooler decorative palette. Grouped together at different scales, the oversized ornaments created a simple but substantial lobby feature, with Rove Hotels branding incorporated into one of the statement baubles.

Props and Decorative Features

The Christmas decor incorporated a variety of large-format seasonal props for exterior and interior placement.

One of the most prominent installations featured illuminated gift boxes stacked vertically to create the silhouette of an oversized Christmas tree. Warm lighting was combined with red panels, ribbons and large bows, transforming the familiar form of wrapped Christmas presents into a substantial festive statement piece.

Sculptural Christmas tree props provided a more contemporary interpretation of traditional festive decoration. Formed from interlocking illuminated geometric sections and finished with glowing star toppers, the pieces created distinctive vertical features suited to exterior placement.

Large illuminated snowflakes introduced another decorative form within the collection. Freestanding versions were positioned as statement pieces, including alongside Rove Hotels signage, extending the festive styling through entrance and exterior areas.

Inside selected spaces, oversized Christmas baubles created a different type of feature display. Blue, silver-grey and white finishes were paired with gold ornament caps, while a branded white Rove Hotels bauble connected the installation directly with the hotel identity.

Project Outcome

The completed installations established a recognisable festive identity for Rove Hotels through a collection of large-scale seasonal props and illuminated decorative features.

Rather than relying solely on traditional Christmas ornamentation, the use of oversized gift boxes, geometric trees, snowflakes and baubles introduced a more contemporary visual language. Scale and illumination allowed each installation to function as a strong decorative focal point while maintaining a consistent seasonal character.

Project Ecosystem

Evolution Prop Shop's scope focused on the supply and installation of large-scale Christmas decor and festive props for Rove Hotels. The project demonstrates how illuminated decorations, oversized seasonal props and carefully positioned feature pieces can transform hospitality spaces while maintaining a consistent festive identity across different environments.
