Decorating for the holidays is one of the most exciting parts of settling into your new modular home—especially when your interior design tells a story all its own. Whether you’re embracing an airy open floor plan, personalizing a Manorwood Homes Casita, or styling a coastal two-story along the Jersey Shore, your Christmas décor can beautifully complement the unique layout and aesthetic of your home. Below are design-forward ways to seamlessly blend festive charm with your floor plan.

1. Decorating Open Floor Plans: Cohesion Is Key

Open layouts offer incredible freedom, but they also require intentional visual flow. Start by choosing a unified holiday color palette—think winter whites and golds for elegance, or coastal blues and silvers for a Jersey Shore vibe. Use this palette across your garlands, tree decorations, throw pillows, and table settings.

Place your Christmas tree where it anchors the central living area without interrupting pathways—often near a picture window or adjacent to the main seating zone. With sightlines stretching across living, dining, and kitchen spaces, keep your décor balanced. For example: if you hang a statement wreath above the fireplace, echo the same scale and style with a centerpiece on the dining table.

2. Casita Model by Manorwood Homes: Curated Comfort

The Casita’s cozy, flexible design shines with décor that leans warm, inviting, and layered. Add soft textures—knit throws, faux-fur pillows, or a small flocked tree on the console table.

Casitas typically feature clean, modern lines, so opt for minimalist Christmas décor with natural tones: cedar garlands, wooden ornaments, and white ceramic accents. Because these homes are designed for comfort and efficiency, keeping the décor simple allows the architectural features to remain the star.

3. Ranch & Cape Cod Homes: Classic Holiday Warmth

Ranch and Cape homes provide an ideal backdrop for traditional holiday decorating. Think timeless red-and-green accents, lanterns on entry tables, and layered mantelpiece garlands.

For ranch homes, leverage the linear layout by placing complementary decorations along the hallway—mini wreaths, framed seasonal prints, or LED candles.

Cape Cods with sloped ceilings or dormers feel magical with string lights draped along architectural angles. Use these features to create intimate, storybook-style holiday nooks.

4. Coastal Two-Story Homes on the Jersey Shore: A Modern Nautical Christmas

Coastal modular homes—Select Modular Homes’ specialty—pair beautifully with beach-inspired Christmas décor. Trade in bright red for muted coral, champagne, driftwood, sea glass, and soft white.

Decorate stair railings with eucalyptus or frosted greenery, and choose ornaments with subtle nautical touches like shells, rope textures, or sand-washed finishes. A slim, flocked tree works great in second-floor living areas where space and views matter.

Since natural light is abundant in many coastal designs, let it enhance metallics and glass elements for an elevated, shoreline-meets-holiday look.

No matter your floor plan, Christmas décor for modular homes is about matching your festive style with your home’s architectural personality.
