PROPS AND DECORATIVES are often the unsung heroes of the modern retail environment as well as a powerful storytelling tool. Much like icing on a cake, they’re essential – and it doesn’t hurt if they look good, either!

This year’s props and decoratives range from the oversized, attention-grabbing and tried-and-true to the more subtle, organic and biophilic. As distinct as they each are, what they share is the ability to engage shoppers in the narrative, illustrating and bringing to life each character and setting.

Long story short: Retailers, don’t hesitate to leverage your decor to give your Covid-weary customers something fun to visually take in and experience. After all, what’s a cake without the icing?
