Retail design company Holman created an interactive decor guide for [Home Depot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-depot-1) Canada locations. The company's experiential retail concept featured an [immersive display set-up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3daysofdesign-2025) that gave visitors decor tips and step-by-step instructions on making their next home improvement project a success.

In addition to informative signage, the interactive decor guide also featured a digital display component and was equipped with 'Dream Design Build' stations that allowed visitors to bring their home improvement or design concept to life digitally.

Using touchscreen-equipped design stations, visitors were given a chance to get creative while having access to helpful advice from Home Depot's in-store home improvement experts. Building a smaller vignette inside of a larger retail space, Holman created a niche area that featured decor tips and an immersive, digital retail display component.
