Transitioning Your Home from Winter to Spring: A Guide 

Attention to Detail: The Key to a Spring Home Makeover 

Spring is knocking on the door, and it’s time to rejuvenate your home. By honing in on the details, you can usher in the lively spirit of spring into your living spaces. Here are some easy ways to transition your home from winter to spring: 

1. Swap winter-centric decor for spring-inspired elements: Replace snowflakes and reindeer with decor that celebrates spring’s beauty. Fresh flowers, potted plants, and nature-inspired art can add a fresh touch to your interior. 

2. Replace heavy winter drapes with lighter fabrics: Swap out thick, insulating curtains for sheer or lightweight ones that let in plenty of natural light. This can instantly brighten your home, creating a breezy and refreshing environment. 

3. Update throw pillows and blankets with vibrant hues and floral designs: Switch out your dark, heavy blankets and pillows for ones featuring bright colors and floral prints. This simple change can infuse any room with a dash of springtime charm. 

Invite the Outdoors In 

With spring’s arrival, it’s the perfect opportunity to incorporate elements of nature into your home. Here are some ideas: 

  • Adding fresh flowers and indoor plants can create a refreshing environment. Choose lively blooms like tulips, daffodils, or cherry blossoms to instantly cheer up any room. Arrange them in decorative vases or pots and place them around your home for maximum impact. 
  • Consider creating a small herb garden in your kitchen or on your windowsill. It adds a hint of greenery and also provides fresh herbs for your culinary adventures. Choose herbs like basil, rosemary, or mint and enjoy watching them thrive in your home. It’s a practical and rewarding way to connect with nature. 
  • If you have a backyard, consider adding bird feeders or baths to attract birds. This not only adds a lively touch to your outdoor space but also creates a harmonious environment for the birds. Enjoy the sight of birds visiting your yard, chirping and fluttering about, to add a dash of joy to your days. 

Opt for Lighter Colors 

One of the simplest ways to transition your home from winter to spring is by incorporating lighter colors throughout your space. Here are a few suggestions to brighten up your home: 

  • Consider painting the walls in soft pastel shades. Colors like light blue, pale pink, or mint green can evoke a sense of freshness and rejuvenation, reflecting the essence of spring. 
  • Swap out dark-colored rugs and carpets for lighter shades. Opt for rugs in light gray, beige, or cream to create a cheerful vibe in your living spaces. 
  • Choose light-colored bedding and curtains. White, pastel, or floral patterns can bring a sense of serenity and freshness to your bedroom. Light-filtering curtains can let in natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. 

Declutter and Revitalize 

A clean and organized home can infuse a renewed sense of energy and help you embrace the change of seasons.

Or you might be a developer looking for the next big thing and wanting to stay ahead of the crowd. Lucky for you, the latest in modular home design trends include cutting edge exteriors with immense curb appeal.

Ways to Decorate Your Champion Home this Christmas Season

The holiday season is upon us, and it’s time to start thinking about how to make your Champion Home feel festive and cozy. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or another holiday, there are plenty of ways to add some cheer to your manufactured or modular home. 

One of the easiest ways to decorate for the holidays is to incorporate traditional colors like red and green, or blue and silver if you celebrate Hanukkah. A simple wreath on the front door or some garland draped around the porch can make a big impact. Add a few twinkling lights, and you’ll have a warm and inviting home that’s sure to impress your guests. 

For those who want to take their decorating to the next level, consider adding some holiday-themed pillows and throws to your living room. You can also add some festive centerpieces to your dining table or coffee table. If you’re feeling crafty, try making your own decorations like paper snowflakes or ornaments for your tree. 

But why stop at Christmas? Keep the festive spirit alive by incorporating decorations that can take you through the New Year. Gold and silver accents are perfect for this and can easily be incorporated into your existing décor. Metallic candle holders, picture frames, and table runners are just a few ideas. 

At Champion Homes, we believe that the holiday season is all about celebrating with your loved ones. So, whether you’re snuggled up on the couch watching a movie with your family or hosting a big holiday party with all your friends, we hope that your home is filled with love and joy. 

If you’re looking for a new home to celebrate the holidays in, be sure to visit the Champion Homes website to find a home near you. From all of us at Champion Homes, we wish you Happy Holidays! May your home be filled with the magic of Santa, the beauty of reindeer and sleighs, and the warmth of celebrating with those you cherish.

Interior Color Trends to Consider 

Stay in-the-know with these updated color trends for a chic interior! 

Ready to give your new home some pizazz or wanting to spruce up your existing home with something new? Color is the perfect way to say a lot without necessarily doing a lot. Are you wondering which colors are particularly standing out these days? This blog will provide the perfect colorful inspiration when choosing colors to use throughout your home interior. Let’s get into it!  

Trend #1: MAKE IT POP 

For the bold players out there, you’ll be glad to hear that poppy tones of magenta, orange and red are taking the front stage! The key to pulling this color trend off is through the art of placement. Have an overall warm-toned kitchen? Find a warm-toned bright orange piece of furniture you’d like to stand out! The Pika SCC643 (pictured above) does a great job using this trend. 

You can also choose the opposite route and let the bold color be your base, accenting with neutral tones of white, silver, dark wood tones or even another bold color! Orange and red can definitely work together with the right pieces and inspiration. With these tips, you can decorate your manufactured our modular home to feel juuuuust right every time you walk in!  

We love the pops of subtle orange throughout the Cypress! Read more on this model here

Trend #2: GREEN IS THE NEW NEUTRAL 

The influence nature has on interior design will always be timeless, and green, a color synonymous with nature and the beauty of the natural world, remains one of the most popular colors to use in Interior Design in 2023 and completes an ever-popular Biophilic Design Trend. The Innovation 1668H (pictured above) is a model that implements this trend with beauty! With Champion Homes, you don’t have to worry about not being able to stay on trend in a prefab home. We’ve got the options you need! 

According to our Interior Design Manager Tammie D., greens with a blue base like our Rocky River are impactful and pair well with soft tones of clay, white, and grey while balancing out with a lighter flooring selection to complete a calming stage for the homeowner.  If your style is more modern, consider using green as an accent to lighter wood tones and black. More into Farmhouse styling? Pair green with warm wood tones, white, and accents of black.

Check out the backsplash tile in the Paris! Oui oui!!

Trend #3: MUTED STATEMENTS STILL SPEAK 

This is the trend that never really goes out of style. People love calm tones because of their adaptability! You can have basically any design style and still find a way to work neutrals into your interior design and décor. This trend also has many options: browns, beiges, “greige,” ivories and more! With this trend, you can really show that “muted” does NOT have to mean “boring.” 

This trend also pairs really well with another trend in this blog: greenery! If you’re taking the calm and muted route, pair the color scheme with some plants and flowers as the perfect accent. Trust us, the light tan cabinets will pop even more with a bird’s nest fern sitting on the counter! We absolutely love the Transitions-20727 (pictured below) for its take on this trend.

Trend #4: Dramatic Dark Accents 

The Mammoth Park! Yep, it’s worth the wow!

If you want your home to look like a delicious chocolate bar tastes, you’re likely into dark tones and accents. Darker tones are a great way to add character and mood to any space. They also help to bring warmth to a home.  

You can also take this route paired with another trend on this list…yep, you guessed it: nature-inspired! Think terracotta browns, eucalyptus greens and deep tans. Another bold idea when you’re going with dark tones? Paint the ceiling! It might sound crazy, but it can really work! Overall, if done correctly, a dark toned interior can be really calming.  

Who’s ready to get colorful? Whichever color route you take, remember to make it your own! Home décor is never fully finished, so if you make a decision you don’t like, you are always free to tweak as you see fit. Ready to find the Champion home for you?

How to Optimize Your Storage

Get rid of the clutter and gain peace of mind with these Champion® models.

Spring is right around the corner, and with that there are two words that come to mind… SPRING CLEANING! Organizing, cleaning, and decluttering your home can be quite the task. This article is going to be filled with supportive tips and tricks for optimizing your storage space.

Many of our homes come with large closets, multiple cabinets, and built-in wire shelves. Our goal is to create space for homeowners to make the most of your home. With all the trendy organization hacks and schedules you likely see on your social media timeline, it can be overwhelming. However, once you are done with this article, you will look forward to spring cleaning!

Check out all the space in the Odyssey 2860 – built in Ephrata, PA

Making the most with wire shelves

Built-in shelves can be amazing if you know how to utilize the space! Our team recommends clear plastic storage containers and bins to help level up your space. The clear part makes it easy to see what’s being stored inside each bin, and you can write on the exterior to stay a step ahead of finding what you need. These can range in sizes from larger bins to put stuff away to smaller bins for all those random pesky cords.

If you have items that can be stacked, think about getting clear stackable drawers. We have found this to be helpful in pantries, closets, and any other space! You are getting the most out of your space when you think vertically.

The den in the TR-20727 has a layout that’s perfect for organization.

Elevate your space

Whether it’s “that” storage room with way too much stuff or everyday spaces like your bathroom, small changes can elevate your areas!

Let’s start with the bathroom. Floating shelves can go a long way with giving your room a designer touch and helping store items. Think about adding a space for small towels, putting cotton balls in an #aesthetic jar, or keeping a fresh plant to help change the mood of the space. If you’re into make-up, think about upgrading to an organizer to keep on the counter or underneath the vanity. This will help save space and keep your routines organized.

There may be that one room you have avoided, thrown old memorabilia in, or just waiting for the right time to turn it into your sanctuary! Here are three key pieces that are both affordable and keep the designer touch in mind:

  1. Bookshelf. These can be found at various stores with different prices but can elevate your space! You don’t have to be a big reader to have one. Let your collectables shine, your plants thrive, or your pottery have a place.
  2. Movable Organizations. These are great for arts and crafts, toys, or anything else where you have multiple of one item and one big box is not cutting it. Having the drawers on wheels can make it for easy access across the room.
  3. Table or Desk. Make this space yours for creativity and help optimize storage along the way. Utilize the drawers for important paperwork or documents. Another space you can decorate and elevate the room!

No more junk drawers

Whether you have 100 drawers or 10, there is usually one “catch all” place. Remember those times you just need the ONE battery, but you find eight others that do not match up with the one you need? Or all those pens you have collected from trade shows, bank runs, or school functions? We all have this drawer, and they are all possible of finding organization.

We recommend finding clear bins or small storage holders to help organize this space. Keep all the writing utensils in one bin, another bin can be only for batteries, local coupons in another, the options are endless but when you organize this space it can make your life easier! Take this method beyond to your bathroom drawers, office space, and more. These tiny bins will optimize your space to the max!

Well, those are your tips and tricks from Champion® Homes to optimize your storage! Next time you are on a cleaning spree, remember this article!
