November 27, 2025
The holiday season is here, and there’s no better time to transform your apartment into a cozy, festive retreat. At The Lodges at Fort Mill, every apartment is a corner unit with a private balcony, giving you more space and natural light to create the perfect holiday atmosphere. Whether you’re hosting friends or simply enjoying the season, these decorating tips will help you make the most of your unique layout.
1. Start with Your Balcony
Your balcony is an extension of your living space, and during the holidays, it’s the perfect spot to showcase your festive spirit. Add twinkling string lights, a small outdoor Christmas tree, or a cozy seating area with holiday-themed cushions and blankets. This not only enhances your apartment’s curb appeal but also creates a warm, inviting space for you to enjoy a cup of cocoa on crisp winter evenings.
2. Maximize Natural Light
Corner apartments at The Lodges at Fort Mill are filled with windows, which means plenty of natural light. Use this to your advantage by placing decorations where they’ll catch the sunlight during the day. Hang shimmering ornaments near windows or add reflective décor like metallic garlands to brighten your space.
3. Create a Festive Entryway
Your entryway sets the tone for your holiday décor. Add a cheerful wreath to your door and a holiday-themed welcome mat. Consider placing a small console table inside with seasonal accents like candles, pinecones, and a bowl of ornaments. This simple touch makes your apartment feel warm and inviting from the moment you walk in.
4. Use Vertical Space
With extra wall space in your corner unit, you can go big on vertical décor. Hang garlands along door frames, add wall-mounted holiday art, or create a gallery wall with festive prints. This is a great way to decorate without cluttering your floor space.
5. Cozy Corners for Entertaining
Your apartment’s unique layout gives you multiple cozy corners to decorate. Add a holiday-themed reading nook with a plush chair, throw blanket, and a small side table for seasonal treats. These little touches make your home feel extra special during the holidays.
6. Incorporate Seasonal Scents
Don’t forget the power of scent! Candles, essential oils, or simmer pots with cinnamon, cloves, and citrus can make your apartment smell as festive as it looks. Pair these with soft holiday music for the ultimate cozy vibe.
