Candy Land Holiday Installation

Award-Winning Community Design Project

Emily Roose Interiors created a Candy Land–inspired Christmas tree for a holiday design competition hosted by CHORD Real Estate in partnership with City Lifestyle and Belle Meade Lifestyle.

The whimsical installation tied for first place and was later donated to Brookdale Senior Living in Belle Meade, Nashville, where it was enjoyed by residents and their families throughout the holiday season.

Designed to bring a sense of joy, nostalgia, and creativity to the space, the installation balanced playful visual storytelling with a strong sense of warmth and community connection.

Projects like this are a meaningful extension of the studio’s work—celebrating imagination, craftsmanship, and the ability of design to create shared moments of experience and connection.

We were honored to participate and grateful to support a community that holds a special place within Emily Roose Interiors.
