Green and brown

Take a cue from Mother Nature and base your holiday color scheme around these rustic tones. Green and brown complement each other, so try decorating your Christmas tree using only brown ornaments, including pinecones. You can also wrap your gifts with brown craft paper and twine, and use preexisting design elements of your home—like wooden picture frames and furnishings—to tie the whole look together. Keep in mind that a few touches of white will also work well with a green-and-brown color scheme.

Red and silver

Anything red really jumps out at you, so while red is a cheery and traditional holiday color, it can be overwhelming in a small space. A great way to deal with this is to use red sparingly and “cool it off” with silver, white or even a frosty pale blue.

Blue, green and silver

For a light, airy holiday atmosphere, this color combination can’t be beat. Pair a rich green (like the color of a natural Christmas tree) with accents of silver and a light, almost-turquoise blue to create a memorable, breezy feel. Pick out some silver and blue tree ornaments, hang some oversized light-blue stockings from the mantel and color-coordinate your gift wrapping to really bring this look together.

White and beige

White decor goes with pretty much anything, and you can pair it with beige (or a near-beige color like parchment, champagne or copper) for an elegant yet understated feel. Chances are you already have a few decor items and furnishings in these colors, which makes this an easy look to pull off. You can also get a white artificial Christmas tree and add gold ornaments to complete the package.

Dark red and green

Give the classic holiday colors a country twist by using darker variations—barn red and forest green—and adding a rustic straw color instead of the traditional white. Toss a color-coordinated quilt and a few throw pillows on your sofa, or go full-DIY and crochet some decorations of your own using this pattern.

Adding holiday colors to your home decor is a great way to introduce some merriment and cheer into your space! And with so many floor plans and decor options to choose from in our communities, the options are endless. Contact us today to find an Austin, Texas, home for the holidays.

Youthful Yellow

Sometimes it’s the subtlest touches that make the biggest difference. Check out the way a few hints of autumn yellow make this dining room at Easton Park stand out without being overpowering.

Fall offers an opportunity to be bold with your color choices. This brilliant shade of yellow, amplified here with black and white decor at Whitestone Landing, is not only ideal for fall but creates a vibrant, exciting living space all year long.

Opulent Orange

Fall paint colors are traditionally thought of as warm and vibrant—reds, yellows and oranges—but a cool gray hue makes this bedroom at Shadow Creek feel perfectly autumnal when paired with an orange bedspread and throw pillows.

Splashes of orange lend a breezy fall atmosphere to this Larkspur bedroom, especially when contrasted with a neutral paint color and a few blue accents.

Painting a single wall in a warm fall hue is a great way to reinvent a room without making it feel uncomfortably bright and colorful. In this bedroom at The Arbors at Lakeline, the combination of white and vibrant orange creates a balanced look.

Here’s another example of how repainting a single wall can completely transform a larger space. An orange backdrop at the Arbors at Lakeline makes this open-concept living room feel thoroughly fall-like, a mood that’s accentuated by a few tasteful decor elements in a matching tone.

Rosy Red

The deep, natural wood color of these kitchen cabinets at Whitestone Landing already looks right at home in fall, and a few accents of red really complete the picture. Bonus points for the freshly picked apples!

Although the paint choices in this kitchen/dining room at The Meadows at Shadow Creek might not seem particularly fall-like upon first glance, this is a perfect example of how a few key elements—a rustic wood table, red salad bowls and some breezy autumnal drapes—can create a fall atmosphere.

Red can be overpowering if not used sparingly. Avoid bombarding guests with too much color by simply laying out a red carpet, as shown here in this Shadow Creek entryway.

The great thing about earth tones is that they’re great for any season. This home office in The Arbors at Lakeline uses earthy paint colors and a few splashes of red to create an autumnal look that could easily be adapted for another season.

This season offers the opportunity to make your home feel warm and cozy with these fall paint colors and seasonal decor. Contact us at MileStone Community Builders today to find your dream home sooner rather than later!

Once the gifts have been unwrapped, dinner has been devoured, and all the guests have gone on their way, post-holiday reality begins to set in. How long you want to leave your holiday decorations up is your call. However, if your new year’s resolution is to be more organized, you have your work cut out for you. From putting away the lights to finding a place for your new gifts, these holiday storage and organization tips will help you start the year on the right track.

Holiday decoration storage

Putting away your decorations isn’t nearly as fun as getting them out, but unless you plan on leaving them up for the entire year, it’s something you’re going to have to face sooner or later. When you’re ready to start taking down all the lights and ornaments, keep a few things in mind:

• Organize your ornaments: Ornaments are easy to lose track of – or worse, to break. Use old egg cartons to store smaller ornaments, and cardboard boxes with compartments for larger ones. If you still have the original boxes your ornaments came in, so much the better!
• Out with the old: It’s the same story every year: some of your seasonal decorations make the cut, and some don’t. This year, take a hard look at the ones that always spend the holidays in their boxes. Then, throw out or donate as many as you’re willing to part with.
• Store your lights smarter: If one of your least-treasured holiday traditions is unsnarling a tangled-up mess of lights, take the time to store your lights a little better this year. Wrap them around a rectangular piece of cardboard to keep them organized. Then, cut a notch in each end of the cardboard so the lights don’t slip off—or use an empty tube left over from a roll of wrapping paper.

Preparing for next year

One of the biggest benefits of organizing your holiday decorations is that this will make it easier to decorate when next season rolls around. Be sure to organize with an eye to the future.

• Overhaul your storage containers: If you’ve been storing decorations in old cardboard boxes, now is the time to upgrade. Clear plastic bins in various sizes are ideal since they can stack. They also protect fragile items from breakage and you can easily see what’s inside.
• Make an “unpack first” box: What are the first things you need when you start decorating for the holidays? Why not identify and pack them together in a single container? Stack this container on top or in front of all the others so it’s the easiest one to reach.
• Organize and label: Try to put similar items in the same boxes and then label each box. That way, next year, you’ll be able to choose your decor from clearly marked boxes!

Tackling holiday storage is no easy task, but it’s the first step to a more organized new year. Chances are, it will also make holiday decorating a little easier next year. Check out our blog to learn more about getting the most out of your new home in Austin, Texas!
