Use Holiday Decorating to Showcase Your South Florida Home

By Mary Damiano

If you’ve got a house for sale in South Florida, it’s more important than ever to find a way to make your home stand out from others on the market. The holiday season provides a perfect time of year to spruce up your home and make it more attractive to home buyers.

Look at the outside of your home. Think curb appeal. Try outlining your house in white lights. Add a welcoming wreath or attractive door decoration. Highlight the trees or hedges in your yard with lights and tasteful decorations.

Now that you’ve made the outside look inviting, work on the inside. Red velvet bows or red plaid ribbon are inexpensive and instantly make a house feel special. Drape door frames with green holly garland and red bows. Have a lot of white throughout your home? Nothing highlights white more than gold, which will add an elegant vibe to your South Florida home.

Use your Christmas tree to your advantage. Avoid precious, heirloom ornaments—you don’t want accidents as people view your home. Try something different. A tree decked out in white lights and red bows is stunning.

And don’t forget about the scents of holidays. The scents of the season are pine and cinnamon, so use candles or air fresheners to make sure those scents are throughout the house.

By following these simple tips, you can make your South Florida home festive and memorable to those whose holiday wish list includes a new home.
