Winter Blues? 5 Easy Ways to Refresh Your Home Without Leaving It
February 17, 2025
Winter in Oklahoma means cold days and long nights, making your home the ultimate retreat. But if your space is feeling a little dull, don’t worry—there are plenty of simple ways to refresh your home without stepping outside. Whether you're looking for easy home updates, cozy winter décor ideas, or quick ways to make your home feel new and different, these five tips will help you transform your space and lift your spirits.1. Rearrange Your Furniture for a Fresh PerspectiveOne of the easiest ways to refresh your home is to change your layout. A simple furniture rearrangement can make a room feel completely different without costing a dime. Here's a few different things to try. Moving your couch to a different wall so it shifts your vocal point.Swapping out accent chairs between rooms for a fresh look.Try moving some of your wall art and redoing your walls for a fresh fun look. My personal favorite is a gallery wall! Super easy and no wrong way to do it. Just put all your different framed photos, favorite artwork, mirrors or mounts up and let it come to life. No better way to showcase all your personal interests.If you're considering home remodeling ideas or ways to maximize space in your home, this is a great way to test different layouts before making permanent changes.2. Add Warmth with Cozy Winter DécorCold weather is the perfect excuse to layer in warm textures and cozy accents. Try incorporating warm and cozy throw blankets and oversized pillows in trending winter colors like deep greens, warm neutrals, or classic winter whites. Not only will it look warm and cozy, but it will also make all your favorites want to come and cuddle!Add a soft area rug to add warmth to your living space. Honestly... every room deserves their own. You can even layer a jute rug in one direction and lay another colorful more warm rug over it to create some interesting depth and shape to your favorite lounging areas.Have you ever tried layering curtains to keep the cold out and create an elegant feel? You can shop great local deals or order online and have them shipped directly to you. You'll notice the difference.If you’re planning to build a home in Oklahoma or thinking about new design trends, these cozy touches can enhance your space year-round.3. Brighten Up Your Home with Lighting & Candles Winter days can be short and gloomy, but good lighting can instantly change the mood of your home. Upgrade your lighting by trying the following tricks.Switching out cool-toned bulbs for warm LED lighting that creates a cozy glow. It can completely change the vibe in the house and make it feel more comforting and warmer at the same time. Adding dimmable lamps to control brightness throughout the day. You can get remotes that work great with your fans that control the lighting temperature in your room. Change your room from bright to dim with one touch. Add your favorite scented candles throughout the house. You can get calming scents that relax you or even some that smell like the season. Try these local favorites.Cinnamon & Clove – Spicy and warm, perfect for a festive feel.Apple Cider – Warm apples, cinnamon, and a hint of spice.Vanilla Bean – Sweet, creamy, and comforting.Volcano - Vibrant, tropical blend of citrus, sugared fruit, and exotic greens, creating an energizing yet smooth aroma.Brown Sugar & Fig – Sweet, deep, and slightly earthy.Cedarwood & Oak – Rugged, warm, and masculine.Fireside (Smoky Wood & Amber) – Like a cozy fireplace on a cold night.Sandalwood & Musk – Deep, smooth, and a little mysterious.Cranberry – Tart and sweet, like winter berries.Winter Citrus (Orange, Clove & Pine) fallen snow.New lamps are always fun to incorporate in rooms. Depending on your vibe, adding a new light next to your bed can really change up the area and make an old space feel like a new one. Using LED candles or string lights for a soft, inviting ambiance on your porch areas also create a fun new vibe. Even if its too cold to go outside and enjoy them, they sure look pretty glowing from the windows while you stay warm inside. 4. Bring the Outdoors Inside with Natural ElementsEven when it's too cold to enjoy the outdoors, you can bring nature-inspired home décor inside to keep things fresh. Here are a few things to try.Low-maintenance houseplants like succulents, snake plants, aloe plants, cactuses, bamboo or peace lilies for a pop of greenery. They are also good for air quality. Stop by your local florist or grocery store and grab some fresh flowers. Make arrangements for your kitchen or dining areas or even on your nightstands in your bedrooms. It's 100% guaranteed to make your day a little sweeter.Decorating with wood accents, woven textures, or stone décor to add warmth and depth. You can do this by visiting your local antique store and find some really cool treasures nobody else has to make your spaces just right! 5.

Your Dream Home, Your Way: The Perks of Building New vs. Buying Resale
February 3, 2025
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make, so why settle for something that doesn’t truly fit your lifestyle? When deciding between building a new home or buying a resale home, consider key factors like home design, energy efficiency, modern features, and long-term value. Here’s why new construction homes could be the best choice for your next move.Created to Fit Your LifestyleYour home should reflect the way you live. When you build a new home, you get to choose a floor plan that truly fits your needs—whether that’s open-concept living, a dedicated home office, or extra space for entertaining. You’ll also have the freedom to select high-quality finishes like custom cabinetry, beautiful accent walls to serve as a centerpiece to your fireplace, durable flooring, fun lighting, and stylish countertops. Want to add even more personal touches? Consider built-in storage solutions like locker-cabinets, or bonus rooms and bathrooms with large luxurious showers and standing tubs. Visit our Design Center page to find out more.Energy Efficiency & Smart Home TechnologyWhen you build a new home, you get the latest in energy-efficient construction, which helps lower your monthly utility bills. Features like high-performance windows, advanced insulation, and modern HVAC systems keep your home comfortable year-round while reducing energy waste. You have better indoor air quality and comfort. Plus, smart home technology—including programmable thermostats, Ring doorbells, and Wi-Fi garage door openers—are included, giving you more control over your home's efficiency and security.Lower Maintenance & Fewer RepairsOne of the biggest perks of a new construction home is that everything is brand new, meaning less stress over what could be very costly repairs. Say goodbye to outdated plumbing, roofing, and electrical systems, and helloooooo to modern materials designed for longevity. Many new homes also come with builder warranties, covering major components for years, so you won’t have to worry about unexpected issues like foundation problems, aging wiring, or major renovations.A Healthier Home for Your FamilyToday’s new homes are designed with healthier indoor environments in mind. Modern construction materials help improve indoor air quality by reducing allergens, dust, and toxins found in older homes. Plus, better ventilation, energy-efficient appliances, and moisture control help prevent common issues like mold and mildew. With new plumbing, you also won’t have to worry about lead pipes or outdated water systems.Financial Benefits & Long-Term ValueA newly built home isn’t just a better living experience—it’s also a smart investment. Energy-efficient construction leads to lower utility bills, while newer materials mean fewer unexpected repairs, saving you money over time. Plus, because new construction homes meet current design trends and efficiency standards, they tend to have a higher resale value, making them a solid long-term investment.Community Perks & Modern AmenitiesCapital Homes offers different exclusive amenities in each neighborhood, like a swimming pool, splash pad, walking trails, playgrounds, dog parks, stocked ponds and walking trails. These communities are also designed with modern infrastructures, including well-lit sidewalks, planned roads, and updated utilities. Plus, they’re often located near top-rated schools, shopping centers, dining, and entertainment, offering the perfect blend of convenience and comfort. Each community is different depending on their location.While resale homes have their charm, building a new home gives you the flexibility, efficiency, and peace of mind that an older home simply can’t match. If you're ready to design a home that fits your lifestyle, now is the perfect time to explore your options! Check out our floor plans, move-in ready homes and visit with us today at capitalhomes.com
