Trend Alert: 2018's HOTTEST Top Holiday Décor Style




This year’s hottest holiday décor style is dubbed “Modern Farmhouse.” Inspired by HGTV’s “Fixer Upper” star interior designer, Joanna Gaines, “Modern Farmhouse” is not only practical, modern, and rustic, but cost-efficient and comfortable, too. Gaining traction in early 2018, “Modern Farmhouse” searches on Etsy are up 142% compared to last year and according to Google Trends, interest in the search term doubled year over year.

The “Modern Farmhouse” style consists of warm tones, wood accents, plaid/striped or solid fabrics in dark reds, greys and blacks, beige and sage green hues, as well as galvanized steel, and other rustic, industrial, and vintage-themed materials. When considering your furnishings, “Modern Farmhouse” gears towards imperfect paint jobs, preferring chipping paint and a weathered look in beige or cream paired with bright and bold hues; “Modern Farmhouse” is the opposite of perfection in all the best ways possible. In fact, you don’t even have to match your furniture (mixing and matching furniture from many different styles is what makes “Modern Farmhouse”, well, modern).

Our Favorite “Modern Farmhouse” Wreaths

These wreaths mix winter-friendly evergreens with our favorite “Modern Farmhouse” accents such as wood, steel, and plaid fabrics. We love the uniqueness the tree bark adds to the second wreath, making this one of a kind!

Utilizing these rustic tin buckets to hold your fire wood and other Holiday accents (such as pine cones, pine branches or even red and silver ornaments) create a very warm and cozy farmhouse feeling to any outdoor space, sunroom or Addition room. Decorate any room with a hand-painted Farm Fresh Christmas tree wall sign made out of untreated wood planks.

Our Favorite “Modern Farmhouse” Holiday Pillows

Bring a room together with Holiday-inspired throw pillows, and instantly transform any room with this subtle change. Designs range from modern to vintage, and mixing the two together is perfect for any “Modern Farmhouse” themed room.

Our Favorite “Modern Farmhouse” Blankets and Throws


Whether you’re going for a neutral-toned room or a bright red pop of color, every room needs a cozy blanket nearby. From rustic tweed fringe and neutral tones and red plaid fabric for that "Christmasy" pop of color, adding throw blankets really tie the theme together nicely.

Our Favorite “Modern Farmhouse” Stockings


What we love most about these stockings is the modern, yet rustic approach that the wooden personalized tags bring. Natural wood or white-painted wood both speak well to our “Modern Farmhouse” theme.

Turning your Sunroom into a Greenhouse

Four Season’s sunrooms offer endless opportunities to design and customize. And the perfect touch could be to add an interior garden to your sunroom. Sheltered from the elements and situated in the sunlight, sunrooms are ideal for growing plants.  You may be asking, “ What kind of plants can I grow in my sunroom? ” Plants that need lots of sunlight are ideal, as your sunroom feeds off of direct rays all day.

This way, if you are interested in gardening, you can grow a wide variety of plants inside and outside your sunroom.

Covid-19 Changes Spending Habits

We all have seen the detrimental effects the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our communities. The loss of jobs, inability to stock up on basic necessities, and lack of person-to-person contact are just a few of the things we went months without. As our society is finally returning to “normal” due to the introduction of vaccines, we are all opening up our doors and spending more time with those we love. Before we discuss the bright future ahead, let's take a moment to reflect on the past. During the heart of the pandemic, many industries were struggling. A variety of businesses had to shut their doors due to a lack of customers and need for their products. Contrarily, other industries boomed due to a want for their goods and services. Among these was the home improvement industry. Americans allocated record levels of capital toward home improvements; a study by Harvard University researchers determined home improvement spending increased 3% during 2020. Housebound Americans found the
