The holiday season is here, and your newly remodeled home is the perfect canvas for festive decorations! Whether you’ve updated your kitchen, living room, or dining area with Advanced Remodeling, your refreshed space deserves holiday décor that complements its beauty without causing damage. Here are some ideas to help you decorate in style while preserving the integrity of your remodel.
1. Highlight Key Features of Your Remodel
Showcase the updates in your home with strategically placed decorations:
Kitchen: If you’ve added custom cabinets or a new backsplash, use garlands or twinkling string lights to draw attention without adhesives that might damage surfaces. Consider decorative bowls filled with ornaments or pinecones on your new countertops.
Living Room: A remodeled fireplace becomes the centerpiece of your holiday décor. Adorn the mantle with stockings, LED candles, and greenery. For added flair, hang a statement wreath above the fireplace.
Dining Area: Accent your custom dining bench or table with a festive runner, holiday-themed cushions, or a stunning centerpiece made from seasonal flowers or candles.
2. Use Non-Damaging Hanging Solutions
Avoid nails or heavy-duty adhesives that can harm your freshly painted walls or woodwork. Instead:
Opt for command hooks or strips designed for easy removal.
Use over-the-door wreath hangers for seasonal accents on doors.
For windows, try suction cup hooks to hang lightweight decorations.
3. Choose Floor-Friendly Décor
Protect your new flooring with these tips:
Rugs and Mats: Place festive rugs or mats at entryways to catch dirt and moisture from guests.
Tree Placement: Use a sturdy, leak-proof tree stand and add a decorative tree skirt to protect the floor from scratches or water spills.
Pet Safety: If you have pets like Max, our Advanced Remodeling mascot, keep fragile or low-hanging ornaments off the tree to avoid accidents.
4. Opt for LED Lighting
Modern LED lights are safer, more energy-efficient, and cooler to the touch, reducing the risk of damage to your home’s surfaces. Use them to:
Wrap around stair railings or banisters.
Highlight architectural features like beams or built-ins.
Illuminate your front entryway for a warm holiday welcome.
5. Incorporate Natural Elements
Bring the beauty of the season indoors with natural décor:
Garlands and Wreaths: Use fresh greenery to add a festive touch without overwhelming your space.
Centerpieces: Fill glass vases with cranberries, pinecones, or dried oranges for an elegant and eco-friendly look.
Seasonal Scents: Incorporate cinnamon sticks, cloves, or fresh pine branches for a holiday aroma that pairs perfectly with your stunning remodel.
6. Decorate with Functional Style
Maximize the functionality of your remodel while celebrating the season:
Kitchen: Add holiday-themed towels, pot holders, and dishware that bring cheer without cluttering counters.
Living Room: Use holiday-themed throw blankets and pillows to make your remodeled seating area cozy and inviting.
Dining Room: Consider foldable, festive table settings that can be easily stored after meals.
7. Be Mindful of Your New Finishes
Preserve the longevity of your remodel by using decorations that are safe for your updated materials:
Avoid taping décor directly to painted walls or finished wood.
Use coasters and placemats to protect tables and counters from hot dishes and beverages.
Stick with lightweight décor that won’t strain or damage shelving.
