There are few things more fun than decorating for the holidays. The number of holiday decorations available in stores and online can be truly overwhelming. That’s not to mention all of the DIY options you have. To take some of the stress out of choosing what festive kitchen decor you should invest in, we’ve compiled a list of the five staple items you should have in your home. 

Holiday Towels and Curtains

One simple option for holiday decorations is to swap out the fabric in your kitchen. Curtains, towels, and even floor mats can all be switched to give off the holiday spirit. There are plenty of literal holiday curtains and towels, but you can also opt to go with a more subtle look. If you celebrate Christmas, consider incorporating greens and reds into your kitchen decor. Blue and silver can be used if you celebrate Hannukah. If you would rather go for an all-inclusive look, silvers, golds, blues, and whites are the most common holiday colors. Patterns like snowmen and snowflakes are great options if you want to keep your kitchen decor up past the holidays and through the winter months. 

Festive Place Settings

If you go all-out for holiday dinners, creating festive place settings will bring elegance and holiday spirit into your kitchen. What do these settings include? We recommend color-coordinated napkins wrapped or topped with some form of festive decoration. You can use holiday-specific decorations or winter-themed. Take a look at this list for some inspiration: https://bsyl.ink/Holiday-Place-Settings. 

Holiday-Themed Dinnerware 

Related to our previous point, you can deck out your whole dinnerware set for the holidays! Many home goods stores sell sets of plates, bowls, mugs, platters, etc., all decorated with holiday decorations! You can present your holiday baked-goods in style on a festive platter and remind everyone its the holiday season at every meal. Look at how adorable these are: https://bsyl.ink/DinnerwareSets. 

Gingerbread House

This is a decoration that’s as fun to make as it is to look at! Luckily, it has become easier than ever to create a masterpiece thanks to gingerbread house kits. You can always try your hand at crafting your gingerbread house from scratch, but we can almost guarantee it will be hard, and your structure may not come out level. The great thing about this holiday decoration is that you get to spend time with your family or friends, putting it together and making it your own. There’s something special about handmade decorations that store-bought items don’t have. If typical gingerbread houses aren’t your style, check out these other kits: https://bsyl.ink/Gingerbread-Kits. 

Winter Wonderland Centerpieces

You can spruce up any counter, island, or table with some holiday-inspired centerpieces. Try to utilize pine or fir trees, pinecones, candles, string lights, ornaments, or anything involved with the holiday season! You can find some gorgeous pre-made centerpieces to decorate your kitchen, or you can create your own. The options truly are endless and can be customized to meet your needs and aesthetic. There are plenty of lists of inspirational ideas online, so take some time to do some research. These centerpieces will stand out and look amazing on a stone countertop!
