Kitchen Christmas Decor

I just revealed our kitchen remodel about a month ago and I am so excited to be able to decorate it for Christmas for the first time! Our previous kitchen didn’t leave a lot of space to add holiday decor, so this was extra fun having a brand new space to play with.

I’m joining a group of 50+ other bloggers this week as we all share Christmas tours, if you are coming from Life is Better At Home, welcome! I love seeing all these gorgeous and unique holiday spaces.

Tips for decorating your kitchen for Christmas! Keep your holiday decor simple and modern with just a few pops of red and green.

Christmas In The Kitchen

Christmas decor in the kitchen! Love this modern holiday look with black and white and pops of red and green.

With the kitchen so clean and black and white I wanted to keep the decor pretty minimalistic and add just a few pops of color and festive touches.

Scandinavian inspired Christmas decor, keep it simple and modern but cozy all at the same time!

I was unpacking our Christmas decor and found all our holiday blankets and started laying them over the chairs to basically just survey what I had. The funny thing is, I started to really like the look of the eclectic arrangement of blankets, it added such a fun pop of color and made the space feel cozy. So I kept them!

Subtle Touches of Christmas

Placing ornaments in a big wooden bowl adds contrast and a nice touch of christmas in the kitchen.

These DIY Grid Ornaments were one of the first Christmas projects I shared this year. You can find the tutorial here.

Fresh Greens

I picked up these stems at the craft store, but you could probably find real ones for free in your backyard : )

Modern Christmas centerpiece ideas, just a few sprigs of greenery in a glass vase.

Growing up, I used to perform in The Nutcracker and every year my parents would give me a new Nutcracker for my collection. I decided to bring a few of my favorites out and display them!

Wreaths On Kitchen Cabinets

Wreaths handing over cabinets is a great way to add a little Christmas to your kitchen.

I made these wreaths a few years back and it’s fun to bring them back out! Just a little simple touch to make everything feel more like Christmas. You can find the tutorial here.

Kitchen Shelf Styling

Decorate your open shelves in the kitchen for Christmas with a few new holiday signs and greenery!

I really loved having shelves to decorate in the kitchen this year! I was able to add so many cute Christmas pieces have collected over the years but don’t always have a place for!

Open Shelves in kitchen all decorated for Christmas! Add a few simple touches to make this space feel more festive.

I found these two little wooden signs in the Target Dollar Spot this week and had to pick them up!
