Spread cheer with a festive front door this year

It feels like we say it every year, but it’s so hard to believe it’s already the holiday season! Here at Evolve, we’re all about getting festive with holiday décor to spread cheer far and wide! As always, we want your apartment to feel like a home – and what better way to invite in that cozy vibe than with holiday decorations? With no front yard to go full Griswold on, we love the idea of decorating your front door! Check out our favorite ways to make your front door festive this season.

Keep it classy

sophisticated wreath evolve blog front door decor

If you’re not into tastefully tacky holiday decorations, keep things classy with muted colors and sophisticated décor. We love soft and subtle colors like blues, greens, and golds. A wreath is the perfect classy touch to any front door. If you’re looking for an extra touch of holiday cheer, try adding small Christmas trees on either side of the door as well.

Deck the halls

Go all out with a front door just as decked out as your tree! Create a garland border around your door frame, and even add some string lights to really brighten it up. Try using double-sided tape to add lightweight ornaments as well. Get creative with it and make it your own! Strings of popcorn, pom pom garlands, and strings of beads are some other sweet ideas for decking the halls.

The biggest gift

A super simple but effective way to get festive with your front door is to wrap it up like a present! Because who doesn’t love big gifts?! Grab your favorite wrapping paper and go wild. Add an oversized bow as the cherry on top!

It’s all about tradition

Stick to a more traditional vibe with greenery, berries, pinecones, and other goodies found in nature. We love the idea of adding more natural elements and earthy tones to a traditional wreath or garland!

Santa’s workshop

Bring the magic of the season to life by turning your front door into an entrance to Santa’s workshop. Oversized candy canes on either side of your door and elves hard at work are just a couple of ways to spread the cheer! You can even get really crafty and make a mailbox for Santa to receive all of his letters and lists!

Oh, it’s vintage

Who doesn’t love retro décor – especially at Christmas? Big, bright string lights and vintage ornaments that you might have seen on your grandma’s tree are some of our favorite ways to get festive. Incorporate oversized Christmas lights into garland surrounding your front door, and add a wreath adorned with ornaments from the 1950s and 60s!

Evolving Into 2022: What’s on the Horizon for Evolve

How we’re evolving into the New Year

It’s hard to believe we’re already in the final stretch of 2021! What a crazy couple of years we’ve had. Here at Evolve, we’ve had plenty of projects to keep us busy so we can continue helping you live in a community where you can grow (have you checked out Evolve Surf City or Evolve at Heritage yet?!). With private paradise vibes and resort-style amenities, we want your home to always feel like a permanent vacation. Keep reading to check out what’s on the horizon and how we’re evolving into 2022.

New Hope Farm

We’ve got some awesome projects on the horizon for 2022—one we’re really excited about is Evolve at New Hope Farm in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

New Hope Farm has been in the Snoddy family for seven generations since King George III conveyed the land to them in 1774. New Hope Farm has seen a lot in its lifetime—from being a social center and a post office to a working farm and a stagecoach stop.

Currently, the structures on the land are a single-story Folk Victorian residence built in 1885 and outbuildings like the barn, the cook’s house, and the smoke house—all built of wood with tin roofs. The farm is also home to a beautiful freshwater spring and pond.

The land of New Hope Farm is teeming with history, which makes this project incredibly unique. At Evolve, our plan is to create a luxury community with a modern farm-style design while honoring what’s already there. With a stunning clubhouse and fitness center, resort-style swimming pool, pool house and grilling cabana, pickleball court, playground, and dog park, you’re sure to have all the major necessities at your fingertips.

Additionally, Evolve plans to repurpose the existing historical buildings on the property! The Folk Victorian residence would make a perfect coffee shop, and the large red barn could be converted into an eclectic brewery.

Many of New Hope Farm’s other historical structures and mature heritage trees will also remain on the land to preserve the deeply rooted history of the farm and add character to what’s on the horizon for 2022.

Construction on Evolve at New Hope Farm is set to begin in early 2022 and could be complete by summer of 2023. We couldn’t be more excited for this project—keep your eyes peeled to see how it evolves!
