Mad For Plaid

Plaids and flannels can instantly make your kitchen seem more wintery. You can choose the color based on the holiday you celebrate, or keep in generic for an overall winter feel. To demonstrate Christmas, opt for Silver and gold or red and green plaids. Hannukah is typically represented with silver and blues. Generic winter plaids are basically anything else. The classic red with black is always a good candidate, as is green with gold and white and silver. You can easily incorporate plaid in the form of curtains, towels, table runners, napkins, or garland. If you find a flannel fabric that you fall in love with, buy a few yards and make some DIY decorations ! With some basic sewing skills, you can create gorgeous table runners and clothes as well as fabric napkins. Get crafty and decorate your kitchen with handmade decorations!

Create Beautiful Centerpieces!

The crafting fun continues! There are plenty of store-bought options for this type of item. However,centerpieces are always a great candidate for DIY decoration ! Nothin will show off your gorgeous stone countertops quite like a festive centerpiece. Grace your island with holiday cheer and watches faces light up as they walk into the room. The great thing about creating holiday decorations by hand is that you can completely customize what you want them to look like! If you celebrate Christmas , your centerpiece can incorporate Christmas-specific items, including tree ornaments, Santa paraphernalia, Christmas trees, etc. If you would prefer a more neutral winter look, make your decorations with snowmen, snowflakes, pine branches, bells, and more!  

Swap Out Your Kitchenware

One of the easiest ways to deck the kitchen is to swap out your kitchenware with holiday-themed sets. We aren’t saying you need to purchase plates with your holiday(s) of choice plastered on them. Turning the utensils and dinnerware, you have into holiday decorations is as simple as picking a color scheme. Like the other DIY decorations we’ve discussed, you can use colors to allude to the holiday(s) you celebrate at home. Red, green, silver, and gold are usually Christmas colors. Blue, white, silver, and some gold are generally associated with Hannukah. General winter colors are usually white, silver, deep greens, light blues, etc. The best part about these holiday decorations is that you don’t need to completely swap out your dinnerware. Place a few holiday-colored mugs on your countertops , use small colored plates but typical white dinner plates, etc. With a small investment, you can have your kitchen looking merry and bright in no time!

The ways to decorate your kitchen for the holidays are endless. Let your creativity run wild and create decorations that say “holiday” to you.
