Seasonal Style Tips That Shine in New Construction Homes
There’s something extra special about decorating a new home for the holidays—especially when it’s your first season in a brand-new space. Whether you’ve just moved in or you’re dreaming of a fresh start, holiday décor is a fun and meaningful way to make your home feel warm, festive, and truly yours.
At Patterson Company, our homes are designed with bright, open-concept layouts and modern finishes that provide the perfect canvas for seasonal decorating. Here are a few ideas to help you deck the halls (and more) in style—no matter which holiday you celebrate.
Focus on Key Spaces
When decorating a new home, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the possibilities. We recommend focusing on the main living spaces where family and guests will gather most—like the living room, kitchen, dining area, and entryway.
- Kitchen islands are great spots for small centerpieces, seasonal bowls, or a festive tray for cocoa and cookies.
- Entryways and drop zones can be easily dressed up with a wreath, doormat, or seasonal sign to greet guests with a little cheer.
- Mantels and electric fireplaces make a natural focal point—add garlands, stockings, or candles for a cozy look.
Keep It Simple and Storage-Friendly
Holiday décor doesn’t have to be over the top. In fact, simple, neutral touches like greenery, metallic accents, and warm lighting often look best in a newly built home. This approach allows your home’s beautiful finishes—like quartz countertops, modern cabinetry, and open sightlines—to shine through.
But if you’re someone who’s built a collection of cherished decorations over the years, don’t worry—many of our floorplans include plenty of built-in storage. From walk-in storage rooms to spacious pantries and extended garage options, there’s room to keep everything organized and out of sight once the season wraps up.
Whether you’re a minimalist or a full-on holiday enthusiast, there’s space for every decorating style in a Patterson home.
Bright Spaces, Warm Details
One of the best things about decorating a new Patterson home is how effortlessly your seasonal style stands out. With large windows and open-concept layouts, there’s plenty of natural light to show off your holiday décor both inside and out. Try placing your Christmas tree or menorah near a window for a festive glow that adds curb appeal and creates a beautiful backdrop indoors.
To bring in that cozy, lived-in feel, focus on intentional decorative moments throughout your home. Style a tray with candles and greenery on your coffee table, add a stack of seasonal throw blankets to your living room bench, or layer in textured pillows in rich winter tones like deep green, burgundy, or cream.
Even small additions—like a festive vase by the kitchen sink or garland wrapped around your stair rail—can make a big impact.
In a bright, modern space, these warm details go a long way. It’s all about finding that balance between clean and cozy—and letting your home’s design do the heavy lifting.
