The long-awaited holiday season is finally here! Between the holiday shopping, baking and traveling, it can often be difficult to find time to incorporate that festive cheer of the season into our home. Luckily, our team at Artisan Built are pros at bringing merriment, whether it is through our quality built homes or our interior design tips. If you're looking to fill your new Paulding County home with holiday cheer, here are a few of our favorite ideas that are sure to make your space merry and bright!
Spruce it Up with Greenery
Decking the halls with boughs of holly and other types of
seasonal greenery is an easy way to add a fresh, festive touch to the home.
Pines, firs and cedars are great for interior use due to their ability to hold
their needles in warmer temperatures. Lay a strand of garland lengthwise down
the dining room table, across the fireplace mantle, winding down the stairwell
banister or atop a doorframe or window. Not only will these natural decorations
look amazing for the holidays, but they will make the home smell amazing as
well! And if you want to be super on-trend this holiday season, take one of the
types of garland mentioned above and wrap it lightly with eucalyptus garland,
or add in shiny magnolia leaves. Mixing textures in your garland provides a fun
alternative on the traditional garland and also makes it appropriate to leave
up all winter long!
Take Ornaments Beyond the Tree
A tree isn't the only place to show off your family's
ornament collection. If you have a few ornaments that don't make it onto the
tree, there are still plenty of ways to showcase them throughout the rest of
the home. Add some holiday cheer to the kitchen island, tv console or foyer
table with a bowl full of colorful sphere ornaments. Those looking for a more
whimsical approach can even tie their favorite ornaments to longer ribbons and
attach them to a curtain rod, bannister, or fireplace mantle for a unique take
on ornament decorating. What's your favorite way to display special ornaments?
Wrap it Up in Ribbons
Make the most ordinary home items and accessories look like
they were made for the holidays with just a simple ribbon. While spools of
plaid ribbon work great for the holidays, you also can't go wrong with a
classic red bow. Look around the home and find decorative items that could use
a bit of festive flair. We love the idea of tying bows around the back of
chairs, adding them to large interior floral arrangements, or using them in
dining table centerpieces. You could even tie a strand of ribbon around your
everyday throw pillows to turn them into pretty holiday packages!
Get Cozy with Custom Features
We can't talk about holiday decorating without mentioning
the custom home features that enhance our home's seasonal and year-round
enjoyment. When you choose to add a rustic stone fireplace on the back deck,
you'll have even more places for hanging up stockings and decorating with
garland, while the screened-in porch option helps protect from the winter
weather. Of course, there are also several kitchen upgrades ideal for our
holiday bakers and seasonal chefs, including upgraded stoves and the addition
of double ovens.
Light up the fire, grab some cozy throws, pour some cocoa
and load up a plate of fresh baked cookies for a night of holiday cheer in your
new Artisan Built home.
