Use fresh greenery.

Some of the simple joys of the holiday season are smelling that fresh pine tree. Not only is the smell pleasant, but it also looks beautiful anywhere in your home! Trees, garlands, and wreaths are a few different ways you can integrate fresh greenery inside – don’t forget the mistletoe!


Add cozy blankets.

As the temperature drops, you’ll find yourself reaching for a warm blanket more often! Opt to find one or multiple that matches your décor aesthetic and that can blend into the space effortlessly. You can also consider swapping out your everyday bedding for festive patterns and colors!


Include holiday candles.

 Candles are essential when it comes to décor no matter the season! Try associating warm, cozy scents like the smell of baked cookies, cinnamon spice, fresh balsam fir, peppermint, and vanilla – the options are endless! This finishing touch will accentuate your décor and will have your home smelling fabulous. 

No matter which decoration style you choose, CastleRock can build you a beautiful new home that matches your personal preferences, needs, and budget. Email us at newhome@c-rock.com for more information or to set up an appointment today!
