Create a Warm and Inviting Entryway for the Holidays

The holiday season is upon us! In the next month or two you will be attending parties, hosting family dinners and preparing for the new year. We can’t think of a better time to transform your entryway. You can welcome your guests and the new year in style!

Because the holidays are right around the corner, you probably won’t have the time for a full house makeover. If there will be guests crossing your threshold this holiday season, now is the time to think about creating a warm and inviting entryway. We have a few suggestions to get you started:

Replace Tile With Hardwood Flooring

Do you have a tile entryway? Although tile is beautiful, it often gives the entryway a cold, sterile feel. The easiest way to warm it up is to add hardwood flooring. Country Mouldings offers a wide selection of wood flooring that would be perfect to enhance this space. Since we use the finest FAS and Select Grade lumber, you can be sure to enjoy your hardwood floors for many holidays to come.

Switch Out Old, Carpeted Stairs

Are you stairs covered by worn, outdated carpeting? You still have time to change the first impression your home will give this holiday season. With Country Mouldings replacement stair treads, you can easily swap out your old look for a new one in a weekend. New wood stair treads can completely transform your stairway and add instant warmth to your entryway. We can even match these replacement stair treads to match your existing trim and furnishings.

Use Decorations to Complement

Some people may be tempted to go overboard decorating the holidays. Keeping your decorations simple can let the natural beauty of your home shine through. For a country home, using hunter green and cranberry colored plaids with natural elements like pine cones can create the look of a rustic holiday retreat. For modern homes, wrought iron and glass lanterns with a simple white candle at the base of your stairway can add elegance and classic charm.

Switch Out Your Lighting

Finding a lighting fixture that complements your space can completely transform the look and feel of your foyer. If you don’t have time or the electrical know-how to add a new light fixture, try changing out the light bulbs. You can turn a space from cool to warm instantly just by swapping out clear bulbs for frosted or soft white. Candlelight is another great way to add ambiance to an entryway. Because your entryway is a high traffic area, you may choose to use flameless candles to give the feel of candlelight without the danger of open flame.

These few changes can transform your space from ordinary to something extraordinary. Why not get started today? Order your replacement stair treads or hardwood flooring from Country Mouldings now.
