Writing Your Holiday Story

There’s something extra special about celebrating the holidays in your brand-new, luxury home– especially when it’s one crafted by Triple A Homes. As North Carolina’s premier custom home builder, homeowners celebrating the holidays in a Triple A home enjoy filling fabulous floorplans with amazing memories and decor. From vaulted ceilings to expansive windows and extended living spaces, the holidays feel extra special for A&G’s new residents!

A Grand Entrance! When adorning your porch with holiday lights, don’t forget the space that leads guests from outdoors to inside. Your beautiful home is already stunning, but adding a few pops of holiday spirit will take it to be next level.

  • Frame your exterior doors with garland, hang a fresh evergreen wreath, and place matching planters filled with pine branches, berries, and twinkle lights on either side of each door.
  • Inside, decorate console tables with more greenery and add a basket for collecting holiday cards. Swap out neutral, entryway lampshades with a festive hue (light red or green) or add a multi-wick candle to make guests feel instantly welcomed. 

Create Holiday Flow in Open-Concept Spaces! With flexible floorplans that allow seamless connections between the kitchen, dining area, and family room, our designs are meant to bring people together. The open design simplifies decorating by allowing it to be more cohesive. How to get started? 

  • Choose a central focal point, such as a statement Christmas tree or beautifully decorated fireplace mantel. 
  • Extend your color palette into adjoining spaces by adding garland to stair rails, greenery on your kitchen’s range hood, or a selection of remote-controlled candles on your dining table.   
  • Keep your decorations balanced so the eye travels easily from one festive spot to the next.

Bring Cheer into the Kitchen! Triple A Home’s custom kitchens quickly become a favorite spot to congregate, and the holidays are when they truly shine! 

  • Add a beautiful wreath to your pantry door for an unexpected pop of holiday color.
  • Fill clear, countertop jars with cinnamon sticks for an accent that offers a hint of aromatic delight. 
  • Use a cake stand or serving tray to display your favorite holiday ornaments and create a terrific conversation starter. 
  • Take advantage of your hidden scullery space to keep party prep out of sight when guests arrive. 

Cozy Up with Layers and Texture by adding a basket of soft blankets within reach of your main seating areas.

  • Add plush, velvet pillows to sofas and drape chunky knit throws over chairs to ensure that no one gets chilly. 
  • A seasonal rug under your dining table creates interest in an unexpected place. 
  • Dress your fireplace mantel with Magnolia leaves, Eucalyptus, and pinecones found in your own backyard! 
  • Complement your cozy decor with the aromas of pine, vanilla, or orange-cloves. A simmer pot is a great way to create a signature scent for your home!

Extend the Magic Outdoors with Triple A Homes’ fabulous outdoor living spaces! North Carolina’s mild climate offers residents outdoor enjoyment year-round. Whether your home features a screened porch, patio, or fire pit, don’t let those areas go undecorated. 

  • Drape string lights along railings, set out cozy throws, and add a few weather-friendly, holiday pillows to your patio furniture. 
  • Keep stacked logs near the fire pit so you’ll never have to end a night early.
  • Invest in a durable set of mugs so they will always be ready for hot cocoa or cider. 

New Home Holiday Hacks: As you celebrate your first holiday in your custom-built home, a few shortcuts may save the day!

  • Use smart outlets or timers to automate lighting displays.
  • Take advantage of your home’s spacious storage options to keep holiday decor organized between seasons. 
  • As that wet weather arrives, swap out every day scarves and hats with holiday-themed ones to turn your drop zones into a festive spot to start or finish the day.
  • Keep a tube of cookie dough at the ready so that surprise guests can quickly enjoy a delectable, “homemade” treat. 

Decorating your luxury home for the holidays isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about making memories. Blending old traditions with new ones is a heartwarming way to reflect a new start while honoring your past. Triple A Homes are designed with the holidays in mind, as our team understands that our clients are not just buying a home, they are creating a backdrop for meaningful moments.
