Deck the Halls – Holiday Decoration Ideas

What’s more jolly than festive, winter/holiday decor!? Robert Thomas Homes “decked the halls” of two showcase models located in Spirit of Brandtjen Farm in partnership with Eastview Community Foundation and a few local businesses. Whether you want to go all out or just add a little cheer to the mix check out these holiday decoration ideas from this year’s “Deck the Halls” home tour.

GATHERING AREAS.
Create a space where you and your guests want be and socialize.  Find a focal point of the room, such as a tree or fireplace and work with that.

TABLE SETTINGS.
If you are entertaining a party of two or 200, table settings are an easy way to incorporated that “holly-jolly” spirit.

KITCHEN …don’t underestimate the use of counter space.
Bring the winter season in your home not only with table settings but also the counter tops. Hosting a gathering? Set your counter up with a hot chocolate bar!

UTILIZE YOUR EXISTING SHELVES.
If you have built-in shelves or other storage options be sure to add some flare to these areas.

DON’T FORGET ABOUT EXTERIOR DECOR.
Add some holiday curb appeal and make home’s first impression count as guests enter your home!  Oh, and make a first impression right inside to the door with a wreath or nice vase as seen below.
