9 quick Christmas kitchen decorating ideas for sinks, windows, countertops, and shelves to quickly make your home festive. It’s that time of year where I think, “Okay okay, I need to be finished decorating this house already” and then 5 seconds later say, “But I’m just going to decorate this last spot before calling it quits.” And repeat. ? Once you start, it’s kind of hard to stop. And since I had a few extra winter stems and Christmas accents leftover in our storage bins, I figured, why not throw in some kitchen Christmas decor for good measure? Considering all of the cookie baking, gift basket / gift jar making, and Christmas brunch prepping our kitchen sees this time of year, it makes sense to deck it out with the rest of our downstairs rooms. Do you love it when your kitchen is decorated with festive holiday touches? It’s not like you can just put a giant Christmas tree in the middle of your kitchen floor (I mean, I guess some people out there do that), so if you want some quick ideas, here are a few ways to add Christmas decor in your kitchen without a lot of fuss. 9 Simple Christmas Kitchen Decor Ideas1. Add a Wreath and Garland to a WindowI especially love adding a wreath and garland to a window at the kitchen sink. Because honestly, any Christmas decorations that make doing dishes feel less like a chore is a winner, right? Just stick up a couple of small Command hooks to the top of the window trim to attach the garland, and attach a Command hook right to the center window pane to hang the wreath. I added this fake orange garland or you can make some dried orange garland yourself for a little something extra. To make our kitchen window look festive at night, I wove a battery operated fairy light strand through the garland. 2. Grow Paperwhites by the Kitchen SinkPaperwhites (or Paperwhite Narcissus) are perfect for growing in the winter months in a bowl by the kitchen sink, and it’s easy to remember to water them since they’re right at the water source. If growing real flowers or plants isn’t your thing though, fake paperwhites add a feeling of freshness too. Leave them out even past Christmas to help winter feel a little more cheerful. 3. Add a Countertop LampSince it gets dark by 5pm in winter (boooo, not a fan here), add a small lamp to your kitchen countertop. We try to avoid turning on our overhead lights because they feel so harsh, but I absolutely love the glow from our under cabinet lighting, over sink pendant lamp, and DIY cordless countertop lamp I made from a thrifted vase. 4. Set Out a Few CandlesI always have a candle or two burning while I’m cooking dinner anyway to reduce any off-putting cooking smells, but candles add a little extra twinkle at Christmastime too. Burn one that has a great holiday scent since we experience our homes not just with our eyes, but with all of our senses. 5. Put a Mini Tree in a CornerPlace a mini Christmas tree in the corner of your countertop. Or for something more useful, add a fresh mini rosemary plant so that you can snip off little bits to add to your cooking or stovetop potpourri. 6. Display a Fake Gingerbread HouseI mean, if you’re into making gingerbread houses in your family, display the real thing, but our kids aren’t big gingerbread house decorators. Plus, the real gingerbread can attract bugs anyway. But I love the look of them! I’ve had this fake gingerbread house cake for several years now that I just plop onto a cake stand on our countertop. Voila! Easiest kitchen Christmas decor ever that I didn’t even have to work for. You can’t even tell it’s fake, can you? Here are a few other realistic looking fake gingerbread houses: 7. Add a Few Christmas Accents to a ShelfIf you have open shelving in your kitchen, add a couple of bottle brush Christmas trees, a mini wreath, or tuck in a strand of fairy lights around your dishes. I even used a bowl to hold some fake orange pomanders. (The real ones smell amazing though… just make sure you only leave them out for no longer than a week.) See that little glass Chrismas tree? That was my grandmother’s decades ago, and now it has a place on our kitchen shelf. 8. Display a Christmas Art PrintableArt often gets overlooked in the kitchen, but I love framing vintage style Christmas art to display on a shelf or countertop. Get lots of different free art printables in my printable library here. 9. Add Winter Stems to a Vase on the CountertopI always have a vase sitting on our kitchen countertop filled with some seasonal stems. These fake magnolia stems are perfect for Christmas (I only needed 2), but they’ll work beyond winter and year-round too. BONUS: I love adding a hot cocoa bar in our kitchen when we have guests coming over! Grab the free printable hot cocoa bar labels here. Christmas Kitchen Decor Sources
