Ideas for a Lovely Christmas Home Renovation
Some people are happy to enjoy the Christmas season with little more than a pretty tree and maybe some lights outside their homes. Others prefer a full-scale Christmas home renovation to delight everyone who lives in the house and those who visit or pass by it.
If you’re in the latter category, Waller Construction of Lakeland, FL, would like to give you a few tips on decorating and customizing your home and property for what’s traditionally the biggest celebration of the year.
Think coordinated, not disjointed
The start of a fabulous Christmas home renovation is planning. This is how you end up with an overall coordinated look rather than a hodgepodge, throw-together design.
Before you run out and buy the first decorative amenity, decide on a theme for your home this Christmas. Three ideas you might like include:
- Winter in Florida
Go all out with a winter motif, featuring snow patches, icy silver accents, window frosting, and glowing lights. With a little creativity on your part, you can turn your home into a real winter wonderland.
- An old-fashioned Christmas
Bring on the rustic charm of a homey cabin in the woods, with lots of wood accents, soft lighting, custom paint in earthy tones, and simple amenities that put the holiday focus on family and friends rather than elaborate décor.
- Modern and elaborate
But maybe elaborate appeals to you. If so, go with a house-wide palette of traditional reds, greens, silvers, and plaids. Light up the outside of your home with strings of lights and lighted yard ornaments. Get a giant Christmas tree and make it come alive with all the classic decorations. Don’t hold back – this is Christmas your way.
The creative part
Christmas is a time for family, so let the whole family be involved in purchasing holiday amenities and in the creative work of putting it all together.
Figure out how much you want to spend. It doesn’t have to be a ton if you put on your creative thinking cap. Christmas decorating is more about how much heart and soul get put into the process than about how much everything costs.
Once you’ve decided on a theme and a budget for your Christmas home renovation, everybody can have fun selecting the perfect ornaments, lights, wall treatments, wood accents, yard displays, and every other amenity that you’ll use to make your home a one-of-a-kind showcase this holiday season.
Then the real fun begins as you place the decorations and gradually transform your home from its typical appearance into one that dazzles and delights.
Consider themed rooms
Every room in your home can have a touch of Christmas cheer. The main rooms can feature the most extensive decorations, while the smaller rooms carry their own unique Christmas flavor. From attractive lighting and colorful blankets to festive holiday knick-knacks and eye-catching wall treatments, you can create an exciting motif for all your rooms.
Custom holiday construction
If you want to go beyond a “traditional” holiday decorating project, consider some custom construction work at your home to:
- Give you more living and storage space
- Add a bay window or other window styles
- Expand a room or an area
- Renew the look of an older space
- Spruce up the exterior of the house
