20+ Simple and Pretty Christmas Kitchen Decor Ideas
Kitchen Christmas Garland Ideas
I am always a sucker for Christmas garland. It is so simple but really makes an impact, and you can use it in so many different ways.
There are so many affordable garland options around and it comes in so many different styles as well! I saw this image below where they strung the green garland along the pendant light cords and I thought it was such a great idea.
It really makes a statement over the kitchen island! How cute are the red bows on the back of the counter stools as well?!
If you have a window in your kitchen, this is for you! I love the look of the garland wrapped around the window to frame it.
You can even add some lights and it instantly feels so charming and festive! This is great if you have a smaller space to work with as well. Just add some festive tea towels on the sink and you’re good to go.
If you have built in shelves or open shelving in your kitchen, consider adding garland strung along the shelves for an effortlessly fun look. I love it paired with the Pom Pom garland and the vintage Santa mugs. So charming!
If minimal is more your style, keep is simple with a strand of green garland and a cute Merry Christmas sign above your cabinets!
How gorgeous is this lush green garland wrapped around the kitchen island?! I can’t get over how stunning it is. Sometimes the simplest decor is truly the most gorgeous!
All you need is garland of your choice and command hooks to hand it around the island without doing and permanent damage.
For a pop of red, add in a string of red berry garland! It looks so gorgeous and really ties in the classic Christmas colors. You can find garland like this at the dollar store!
Kitchen Christmas Wreath Ideas
I always look forward to picking out a Christmas wreath for the season! Wreaths are my favorite holiday decorations as they classic and simple but come in so many different styles to really fit whatever your home aesthetic is.
I love the look of a minimal wreath centered on the range hood in the kitchen. Typically the oven is a focal point in the kitchen and this really brings it all together.
I’ve seen people put mini green wreaths on the backs of their counter stools and I just love it!! So cute with the bow tied on as well – I love the red and white striped ribbon as seen below!
Again, if you have a window in your kitchen, that is the perfect spot for a Christmas wreath! It instantly adds holiday spirit and is one of my favorite ways to decorate the kitchen.
If you love the all white / modern Christmas decorations, a white or metallic wreath is a really pretty option! It looks so clean and pretty.
You can’t go wrong with really simple wreath wreaths hung over your cabinets. This works really well for Scandinavian style decor or rustic style.
You can easily attach the festive wreaths with the ribbon of your choice that matches the rest of your home and you’re decor. The mini wreaths really adds such fun little touches throughout the kitchen.
Kitchen Counter and Table Christmas Decor
Kitchen countertops and the kitchen table are truly the heart of your home. Our kitchen is a high-traffic area so I always love to have simple touches of decor and intriguing details throughout the entire kitchen and dining space as it really gives that holiday feel while entertaining.
I saw this gorgeous countertop decor with metallic trees and gingerbread houses and I thought it was just so gorgeous. It really adds such festive charm to and otherwise unused space in your home.
A gorgeous gold tray, pretty mini trees and Christmas candle are really all you need to add a festive touch to the center of your kitchen island!
This would also be a gorgeous set up on a tiered tray. You can even get glass canisters and bottle brush trees from the dollar store and make your own pretty countertop decor!
I love the idea of setting up a festive coffee station and hot chocolate bar throughout the holiday season. How cute is it below with the Santa mugs?!
This would be perfect for entertaining along with holiday cookies, candy canes and desserts set to the side. This way your guests can help themselves to a cup of hot chocolate and a treat during the party. I know my girls would love this as well!
Taking something simple as your utensils tray and adding some festive touches really makes all the difference in a traditional home.
If you have a kitchen table/dining space in your kitchen, this is the perfect place to add in some holiday decorations. I love the looks of the plaid table runner and the simple greenery at each place setting. The mini Christmas trees look so cute as the centerpiece of the table and would be great for a holiday dinner party!
This farmhouse kitchen set up is so cute below! I love the rustic signs, wood chandelier, buffalo check tablecloth and greenery centerpiece. This is so festive and fun, the whole family would enjoy sitting at this kitchen table all season long!
Another cute farmhouse kitchen set up below that is really simple!
