How to Make Your House Stand out During the Holidays

Keep All Colors Simple But Festive

Pick two or three colors and stick with them. Red and green, for example, are classic colors that everyone knows. But don’t stop there. Think out of the box. Silver and deep blue are equally beautiful. Other colors like red and gold or maroon and violet also work well and offer a lot to any home right now.

Focus on Warm and Cozy

When people think about Home builders in New Hanover County they think about homes that are very inviting from the first time they step inside. Get this look in your home by focusing closely on the home’s coziest features. Put wood in the fireplace and warm up the house. Use curtains and other window treatments to show off a lovely view. Pile on the pillows next to lovely window seat and add a rocking chair in one corner. Put up mood lighting such as up-lights to add lots of welcome light. Your aim is to make your home a haven that exudes warmth and lots of holiday cheer.

Bring the Outdoors Inside

Now is the time to make the most of your outdoor spaces. If you live in a beautiful area, with a large yard, you can take advantage of it. Look for items outside that you can use to decorate your home. For example, tree branches can be placed atop your fireplace. Make a wreath made from pinecones and your favorite holiday ribbons. Tartan with hints of gold to it is an excellent option. You can also add lots of other greenery to equally great effect. Put up mistletoe on top of the entryway to the house. Use large garlands of flowers along with lots of lights to drape across the staircase. Scatter beeswax candles on top of the kitchen. That adds welcome scent to your home.
