At Wieland Builders, we believe a custom home is more than a place to live; it’s a canvas for creating cherished memories. Christmas is the perfect time to infuse your custom home with warmth, elegance, and the magic of the season. We want to thank our clients for opening their beautifully decorated homes for our visit during the holiday season so you receive inspiration for your own home, here are ways to bring festive charm to every space.

Front Porch

Set the stage for holiday magic with a warm and welcoming front porch. Use oversized lanterns, pre-lit garlands, and wreaths adorned with red bows or neutral tones for a modern touch. Add a cozy bench with plaid throws and pillows, and don’t forget the twinkle lights to make your custom home stand out in the evening.

 

Front Door

The front door is your holiday calling card. Choose a statement wreath—whether flocked, fresh, or artificial—paired with ribbon cascading down the sides. For an extra touch, consider flanking your door with miniature Christmas trees in decorative planters.

 

Entry

The entry is the first indoor impression of your holiday decor. Highlight the space with a decorated console table or credenza. A mix of candles, garlands, and metallic or wooden Christmas figures can create a welcoming vibe. Consider adding a mirror or art piece to reflect holiday lights and create a glowing ambiance.

Great Room with Fireplace and Built-Ins

The great room is the heart of the home, especially at Christmas. Adorn the fireplace mantle with lush greenery, stockings, and elegant ornaments. Add a centerpiece like a tall nutcracker or candles. Use the built-ins to display holiday villages, framed seasonal art, or curated collections of ornaments. Complement the space with a beautifully lit tree near the great room’s windows or sliding doors, merging indoor and outdoor holiday cheer.

Kitchen, Hoods, and Pantry

Even the kitchen can join the festivities! Decorate the range hood with a small wreath or garland. Add pops of holiday color with festive dishware, towels, and mugs. Fill jars with treats like candy canes or gingerbread cookies for a practical yet decorative touch. Use the open shelving and pantry shelves to display seasonal serving pieces or additional holiday-themed décor.

Primary Bedroom

Bring Christmas magic into the primary bedroom with soft textures and subtle decor. Add a festive throw blanket or pillows in seasonal hues. Consider a small, themed tree in the corner for a luxurious touch. String lights along the headboard or window treatments to create a cozy glow.

Home Office and Library

Even the home workspaces and the library can be merry and bright during the holidays! Decorate shelves with miniature Christmas trees, string lights around bookshelves or windows, and add a festive touch to your desk with a small wreath or holiday-themed pen holder. Use holiday mugs for your coffee or tea and a cheerful mouse pad to add subtle seasonal charm without cluttering your workspace.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Outdoor spaces like covered porches or patios are ideal for extending holiday decor. String lights along beams or pergolas, and set up a festive seating area with outdoor-safe pillows and throws. A fireplace adorned with garland or a holiday-themed lantern centerpiece adds warmth and charm to your gatherings.

Bars and Lower Levels

Bars and Lower levels are perfect for entertaining and should reflect the holiday spirit. Decorate the bar area with garland, wreaths, or holiday-themed glassware. Use festive coasters and napkins to tie the space together. For lower levels add a Christmas tree, comfy blankets, and a hot chocolate station to create a cozy retreat.

Staircases

Staircases are a natural focal point for holiday decor. Wrap garlands and ribbon along the banister, and add fairy lights for sparkle. Hang ornaments or stockings at varying heights for a dynamic look. For a dramatic effect, coordinate the staircase decor with your overall color scheme.

Bonus Room

Transform the bonus room into a versatile holiday haven. Whether it’s used as a playroom, media room, or extra living space, incorporate festive pillows and throws in holiday patterns. Add a small tree with ornaments that reflect the room’s purpose—such as movie-themed decorations for a media room or whimsical characters for a playroom. String lights along shelves or around windows for a cozy, festive atmosphere.

Mudrooms

Mudrooms often get overlooked, but they can be an unexpected spot for holiday cheer. Use small touches like a festive rug, mini wreaths on lockers or hooks, or a cheerful holiday sign. Add a basket of cozy scarves and gloves to create a functional yet festive look.

Powder Rooms

Even the smallest spaces can sparkle during the holidays. Add a festive touch with a small holiday sign or framed seasonal art on the wall. Swap out regular hand towels for ones in rich red, green, or metallic hues, and use a holiday-scented candle or room spray for a festive aroma. A mini wreath or garland around the mirror and a dish of holiday-themed soap complete the look.
