With the holiday season upon us, we want to help make sure your home matches your holiday cheer by giving you tips on the best décor for your home style.
Homes with Board and Batten Siding
For homes with Board and Batten siding (often referred to as a Modern Farmhouse style), consider the use of bows or garland – even better if it incorporates a pop of color like red. Homes with board and batten style, which is commonly achieved with Hardie® Panel vertical siding and Hardie® Trim boards, offer a perfect place for holiday bows, making your home look like one big present.
Homes with Shingle
If your home has a neutral shingle (such as Hardie® Shingle siding in Cobble Stone), consider using lighting options that omit a creamy, amber glow to give off a classic and cozy look. Plus, soft-colored bulbs give off a flattering light, so it won’t steal the focus from additional holiday set up.
If you have colored shingle on the exterior of your home (such as Hardie® Shingle siding in Mountain Sage or Evening Blue), consider filling your window boxes with winter-friendly greenery such as rosemary, dwarf pines or juniper. Not only does filling your window boxes with greenery give off an extra ode of festivity, but it makes you feel like each window has its own mini forest.
Modern Homes
For modern style homes, especially those with a flat roof, simple strands of lights keep your home’s fresh, clean look while adding a little sparkle to the exterior. If you’re looking for a fun, festive look, consider lights with dangling details such as reindeer or gingerbread men.
Homes with White Exteriors
Brighten up your home’s white exterior with the use of color and greenery. Bows, garland, and wreaths are a nice way to make your siding pop. To add extra sophistication to your home’s holiday décor, consider stringing lights through garland and wreaths.
