Top Home Interior Projects People Tackle in December (And How to Get Started)
As temperatures drop and the holiday season settles in, many homeowners shift their focus indoors — making December one of the most popular months for home interior projects. With more time spent at home, end-of-year motivation, and fewer outdoor distractions, winter is the perfect season for fresh upgrades.
Whether you’re refreshing a single room or planning a full remodel, here are the most common December home improvement projects and the products we offer at Jonesville Lumber to bring your vision to life.
1. Kitchen Makeovers & Mini Remodels
The kitchen is the heart of the home during the holidays, making December an ideal time for a transformation. Even small updates can create a big impact.
Popular December kitchen upgrades:
New countertops – Durable, stylish surfaces like Cambria Quartz, Wilsonart, and natural stone from Dwyer Marble & Stone offer easy maintenance and timeless appeal.
Cabinet replacements – From budget-friendly options like Mantra Cabinets and Kitchen Kompact to semi-custom lines like Schrock and Woodharbor, upgrading cabinetry instantly modernizes a kitchen.
Tile backsplashes – Homeowners love adding texture and color using tile from Virginia Tile and Louisville Tile.
Why December is ideal:
Contractors often have better availability, and interior upgrades aren’t delayed by weather.
2. Bathroom Upgrades for a Spa-Like Winter Escape
Winter is the perfect season to create a cozy, relaxing bathroom—especially when you’re spending more time indoors.
Inside-the-home projects we see most:
New vanities and cabinet storage
Updated tile showers and tub surrounds
Quartz or stone vanity tops
Modern hardware & fixtures
Jonesville Lumber offers stunning tile selections, stylish Karran faucets and sinks, and cabinetry lines that fit any budget or style.
3. New Flooring Installation
Replacing flooring is one of the top winter home projects because it can be done entirely indoors and dramatically changes the look and feel of a room.
Homeowners love:
Hardwood-look waterproof flooring from Raintree Flooring
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) from Happy Feet Flooring
Tile flooring from Virginia Tile for kitchens, bathrooms, and mudrooms
These products add warmth, durability, and style — perfect for the holiday hosting season.
4. Interior Finishes & Details That Make a Big Difference
December is full of small but meaningful home refresh projects, including:
New hardware – Modern knobs and pulls from Amerock and Anthology Hardware
Updated sinks & faucets
Accent walls with tile or shiplap
New trim, molding, or interior doors
These finishing touches instantly elevate any space without requiring a full remodel.
