What Does a Full-Service Holiday Decorating Experience Actually Include?

More Than a Beautiful Tree

When most people think about hiring a holiday decorator, they picture someone arriving with ornaments, decorating a Christmas tree, and calling it a day.

A full-service holiday decorating experience is something entirely different.

At Scarlett J Designs, we believe holiday decorating should feel as effortless as it is beautiful. It’s a thoughtfully planned experience designed around your home, your traditions, and the way you want to enjoy the season—not another item on your holiday to-do list.

Whether you’re entertaining family, hosting clients, or simply want to come home to a beautifully decorated space, every detail is thoughtfully managed from beginning to end.

It Starts Long Before Installation Day

The most beautiful holiday homes don’t come together overnight. Every project begins with understanding how you live. During our planning phase, we discuss:

• Your home’s architecture
• Existing holiday décor worth incorporating
• Favorite traditions
• Holiday entertaining plans
• Desired color palette and style
• Spaces you want to highlight

This allows us to create a holiday design that feels like a natural extension of your home—not something that was simply added for the season.

A Custom Holiday Design

No two homes—or families—celebrate the holidays the same way. Every installation is thoughtfully curated to complement your existing furnishings while introducing seasonal warmth and elegance. Your design may include:

• Christmas trees / Menorahs
• Garlands
• Wreaths
• Staircases
• Entryways
• Dining tables
• Mantels
• Outdoor planters
• Holiday florals
• Specialty lighting

Rather than following trends, we focus on creating timeless holiday interiors that feel personal, elevated, and beautifully layered.

We Handle the Sourcing, Too

One of the biggest benefits of working with a professional holiday interior designer is that you don’t have to spend weekends searching for ribbon, ornaments, or greenery.

We handle:

• Product sourcing
• Procurement
• Order tracking
• Quality inspections
• Coordination of deliveries

By the time installation day arrives, every detail has already been carefully planned.

White-Glove Installation

Installation is where the vision comes to life (and everyone’s least favorite part – ok maybe second least favorite part).

Our team carefully styles every space—from fluffing branches and shaping ribbon to layering ornaments and adjusting lighting until every detail feels intentional. When we leave, your home is ready to enjoy. No ladders. No tangled lights. No unfinished boxes sitting in the corner. Just the holidays.

Beyond the Tree

One of the biggest misconceptions about holiday decorating is that it’s all about the Christmas tree. In reality, it’s the smaller moments throughout the home that create a memorable experience.

A beautifully styled entry. Fresh greenery layered throughout the kitchen. A thoughtfully dressed dining table. Soft lighting that changes the atmosphere after sunset. These are the details that transform a house into a holiday home.

Professional Takedown & Storage

When the season comes to an end, we return to carefully pack, organize, and store your holiday décor. Every ornament is protected. Everything is ready for next season. No overflowing bins. No broken decorations. No post-holiday stress.

Why Homeowners Choose Full-Service Holiday Decorating

Most of our clients don’t hire us because they don’t know how to decorate. They hire us because they value their time. They want to spend December making memories—not untangling lights, climbing ladders, or wondering where to start. Luxury isn’t about doing more. It’s about having fewer things to worry about.
