Nashville Set Decorating + Prop Rentals: Production Support for Film, TV & Brand Activations

When a film, television, commercial, or branded production comes to Nashville, creating what appears on camera often requires much more than finding a few props.

It can mean sourcing hundreds of pieces, coordinating rentals, purchasing specialty items, building out holiday environments, managing inventory, styling sets, installing on tight production schedules, and making adjustments once the cameras are rolling.

That’s where we come in.

Whitney Elaine Interiors provides set decorating, art direction, prop sourcing and rentals, production styling, and installation in Nashville for film, television, commercials, editorial shoots, and branded experiences.

What Does a Set Decorator Do?

Set decorating is about creating the environment that supports the story being told on camera.

Depending on the production, our role can include developing the visual direction, sourcing furniture and accessories, selecting and renting props, purchasing specialty pieces, styling the set, coordinating installation, and making on-set adjustments throughout production.

For holiday productions, that can become an especially large undertaking. Christmas trees, ornaments, garland, wreaths, florals, specialty décor, furniture and thousands of individual pieces may all need to be sourced, organized, transported and installed—sometimes across multiple sets.

Our background in interior design, hospitality environments and large-scale seasonal installations gives us a slightly different perspective on production: we think about the entire environment, not just the individual prop.

Nashville Prop Rentals + Production Sourcing

One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned working in production is that crews don’t always need just a prop rental.

Sometimes they need someone local who can find the thing.

Our Nashville warehouse houses a growing collection of holiday décor, props, furniture, florals and production resources available for film, television, commercial shoots and branded experiences.

Our holiday inventory includes Christmas trees, ornaments, garland, wreaths, greenery and specialty seasonal décor. We also maintain furniture, tabletop pieces, florals, botanicals and lifestyle props, while sourcing additional pieces locally and nationally as needed.

And because we’re also the team designing and installing these environments, rentals can be combined with sourcing, delivery, set decorating, styling, installation and strike rather than requiring a production team to coordinate multiple vendors.

From a Warehouse Full of Christmas to Camera-Ready

Production work rarely looks glamorous behind the scenes.

There are loading docks. Totes. Trucks. Spreadsheets. Ladders. Mountains of greenery. Last-minute sourcing runs. And usually at least one moment when something needs to be figured out right now.

For A Grand Ole Opry Christmas, our work included the holiday décor concept and execution for Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry sets, with extensive Christmas inventory, sourcing, styling and installation required to transform the spaces for camera.

We’ve since continued expanding our production work across national holiday commercial campaigns, television, editorial work and branded experiences.

The common thread is the same: take an idea and figure out how to physically make it happen.

Local Production Support in Nashville

For production teams coming into Nashville, having a local resource can eliminate a surprising amount of logistical work.

We can assist with:

• Set decorating and production styling

• Art direction

• Prop rentals and sourcing

• Holiday prop and décor rentals

• Furniture and accessory sourcing

• Florals, greenery and botanicals

• Installation and strike

• Local purchasing and production logistics

• Branded environments and experiential installations

Sometimes that means handling an entire environment from concept through installation. Other times, a production simply needs access to local inventory, a hard-to-find prop, or an extra set of hands that understands what needs to happen on camera.

We’re happy doing both.
