Holiday Home Decorations

By Rebecca Wardon, Interior Design Manager

The holidays are right around the corner and we are already feeling jolly. But sometimes decorating can feel more like a chore than a celebration. Here are some simple tips for holiday decorating for a headache-free holiday season.


THE SMALL THINGS

You might think you have to go all out to really celebrate the season, but sometimes it just takes a few little details to make your home festive.

An easy way to bring that holiday feeling inside is with a little bit of outside. You can fill some vases with seasonal greenery like evergreen branches or holly. You could also incorporate branches, pinecones, and twigs with seasonal ribbons and lights to create the perfect mantle or tablescape.

On the exterior of your home, it can be as easy as hanging a wreath on the front door or adding a festive plank sign on your front porch. Decorations don’t need to be big to impress, sometimes it’s just about the small things. Check out our holiday Pinterest board if you need inspiration.
 

A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY

Not to sound like a scrooge, but it’s easy for holiday decorations to turn into holiday clutter. It’s probably fun for guests, but remember, you’re the one who has to live there! So use your space wisely and avoid the festive mess. Decorate with items and colors that match your everyday décor, and try to avoid hazards like too many lights or candles and ornaments that your beloved pet or little one is just going to get into.  
 
Over-decorating might seem innocent enough, but a single overloaded power strip or an improperly secured outdoor ornament on a windy day can put your home in danger. That’s why I like to keep things fun, simple, and safe.
 

HOW I DECORATE

For me, it’s a whole weekend. I love the holidays and over the years I’ve collected little decorations that I spread throughout my home. Decorating the tree is probably my favorite. I’ve created a nice eclectic theme and try and incorporate a few new ornaments every year. Really I just love putting on some comfy clothes, turning up the Christmas music, and decorating.

  • When we rightsized from our home of 43 years to a Bielinski Condo in Bay Pointe, our New Home Consultant answered all of our questions and communicated with us the entire way. We’re fully enjoying our beautiful new home and the condo community.

  • I’ve been so impressed and completely satisfied with the entire Bielinski building experience. From the initial sale and throughout the construction process I have appreciated Bielinski’s professionalism, craftsmanship, and follow-through.

  • We are extremely happy with our new Bielinski Condo. It’s well-built and full of all the features we wanted in our home.
    Deborah and Brian Blackney
  • We chose Bielinski because they are a family-owned business and have been building in the Pewaukee area for a long time. The Clemont floor plan is just perfect for all of our family events and Packer parties.
    Bob and Darla Landgren
  • We couldn’t be happier with our new home! The entire process was fantastic. Everyone was so responsive and quick to help. Bielinski’s knowledge of the industry was invaluable. We recommend Bielinski to anyone looking for their next home.
    Mike and Kristin Smith
  • We had a really good experience with Bielinski from start to finish. Everyone was responsive and reliable. Now we are enjoying life in our new home.
    Peter Holzwart and Therese Gaynor-Holzwart
  • Once I got settled in, I knew I was exactly where I belong. Without Bielinski’s knowledge and communication, I would still be questioning whether I should build at all. Thanks to the entire team that made this all possible.

  • We have just purchased our third Bielinski Home in the last 22 years, a Bielinski condo. We have found that Bielinski Homes builds quality homes for fair prices. The craftsmanship of construction and finishing is exceptional, plus they make the buying and building process easy with great customer experience. We would strongly recommend a Bielinski Home.
    Jerald and Jeanne Filut
  • We absolutely loved working with Bielinski Homes — the kindness and knowledge they shared sold us on wanting to move to our new neighborhood. We were worried about moving. But we had no doubts in our minds after speaking with our New Home Consultant about the community and the neighbors. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and new neighborhood.
