It's lovely weather for a winter curb appeal tour! Get inspired by these snowy homes — complete with holiday decorations, twinkling lights, evergreen trees and cozy accessories.
Whether you live up north or down south (or east or west), there's something magical about homes during the winter season. HGTV Magazine found the most inspiring exterior looks across the country, and we're sharing all the festive ideas to get you — and your house — in the holiday spirit.
When textile designer Betsy Olmsted and her husband, Peter, first toured this converted 1890 carriage house, they fell for the way it married farmhouse charm with a modern layout. In the winter, this nearly black exterior feels extra modern compared to its rustic surroundings.
Dotted with leafy oak trees, “the land captured my heart first, even before the house,” says designer Joanna Gaines. A metal roof and crisp white paint (Alabaster by Sherwin-Williams) complete the modern farmhouse look. Plenty of wreaths and two pairs of wood rockers bring the holiday charm.
DIY-enthusiast Sarah Hubbell created a cheery holiday vibe for her Arizona home with a mix of handmade and store-bought decor. The wreath was crafted with painted pinecones, and a trio of pillows makes for a very merry bench.
