It’s All About Atmosphere
The holidays are a time for family and fellowship. It’s a season of giving thanks and celebration, a season where we all gather around the table to share food and memories. This is the perfect time to spruce up your kitchen with some festive decorations. To help you out, we’ve compiled four simple tips on how to decorate your kitchen for the holidays.
Create A Centerpiece
Pine cones, nuts, fruits, and any other small natural materials you can find make a great center-piece for your kitchen table. Add in some festive candles or lights to complete the look.
Displaying Recipes
Display your favorite recipes on the countertop as part of the overall decorations. Add in seasonal baking tools like measuring spoons and cups if desired.
If you have recipes that are your favorites during the holidays, why not display them? Hang or attach them to a wall using thumb tacks for an effect that feels more personal than if they were just sitting on your countertop. It makes it easy for people to browse through them while they’re hanging up rather than having everyone crowd around your stove checking out what’s cooking! And don’t forget about stocking-decorating either.
Hang Stockings
It’s easy to forget the little things when decorating for the holidays. This holiday season, we’re going to cover all of the small details with a series of festive posts.
1) Hanging stockings on a mantle or fireplace is very traditional often in a space that is adjacent to the kitchen, so stick with tradition if you it suits your style. But consider hanging stockings on the chair backs for the big dinner…you can display them where everyone will see and guests can enjoy them too while they’re visiting your home for the holidays.
2) You can also choose to embroider your guests, family or kids’ names on their individual stockings, which is a great way to add some personalization and let everyone know exactly where to sit at the dinner table. It’s a personal touch that makes everyone feel welcome.
Use Candles
One of the best ways to decorate for the holidays is with candles. They add a sense of warmth and joy that makes a home feel cozy and inviting. But sometimes, it can be hard to find the perfect candle holder—especially if you’re on a budget!
Instead of spending money on new candle holders, save your old ones by repurposing them! You can make your own pretty candle holder out of an old jar or vase by adding in some Christmas ribbon and holiday-themed decorations. If you want something that will last year-round, look for jars that have lids or use a glue gun to seal up the top.
You could also use an old plate and cover it in tinsel, glitter, gold paint, etc. before using it as a candle holder – this would create a very glamorous look for your space.
These are just two easy ways to save money while still having access to beautiful candles during the holidays. There are plenty more ideas out there if these don’t suit your needs so be sure to browse around for inspiration!
No matter what your budget, it’s important to make your house feel festive during the holiday season.
