‘Tis the season for twinkling lights and seasonal spirit! What better time than the holidays to touch up your Simms Development home with a little festive flair? From classic outdoor pieces to elegant interior statements, wintertime in Dayton is the perfect opportunity to get creative and fun. And if you’re still on the hunt for a new home, you’re in luck, because we have several in our communities to choose from!

Whether you like extravagance or opt for an understated look, there’s something trending to fit your taste. As you head into 2020, make the most of the end of the year with personalization in your home! Take a look at a few of our favorite decor trends to utilize in your Simms Development home: 

Neutral Palate: Of course, nothing makes a living room cozier than a classic tree. This year, switch up your look and go for neutral-colored ornaments like gold, ivory, and champagne to create a calm, peaceful aura that’s just as festive as bold colors. Added touch: use matching wrapping paper for the gifts underneath.

Lots of Layers: Big pieces of all shapes and sizes make for eye-catching appeal. From a green garland for your mantel in your living room, to large, seasonal candlesticks for the table in your dining area, there are so many fun ways to dress up the spacious areas in your home.

Outside the Box: Outdoor decor isn’t limited to wreaths and cozy lights… there are so many fun and unique ways to touch up your exterior space. On your patio or porch, drape a cozy, plaid blanket over a couch or chair. Perfect for the little ones, you can place a “Letters To Santa” mailbox outside your front door.

Kitchen Confidential: The heart and soul of the home, don’t forget to give your kitchen some decorating love. If you already incorporate holiday-themed utensils and bowls (think pine cones, dried fruit, etc.), try a mini wreath too. Not just for your door, you can fasten wreaths to your kitchen cabinets for a beautiful look.

Bedroom Sidekick: Your master bedroom is your sanctuary to relax, so why not add some holiday happiness into the mix? A miniature tree for your bedside table is a great way to bring an appealing accent into your room without overwhelming the space. Try a white frosted tree for something simple and elegant.

Love at First Sight: Feel the magic as soon as you walk into your home. Your foyer gives your family and friends something special to look at upon entering. Pops of bright red add a classic holiday touch! Try red candlesticks, a table runner, small bowls and planters, and of course, your favorite holiday trinkets.

From all of us at Simms Development, happy holidays!
