Spruce Up Your Christmas Kitchen
Christmas is just around the corner, so pull down those boxes of holiday decor from the attic, roll up your flannel sleeves, and get to work. Most of us tend to do this by adding festive details to every inch of our houses, inside and out. Yet more work needs to be done. Make sure the kitchen gets an extra dash of holiday cheer when it is time to layer on more Christmas Kitchen decor throughout the rest of your house.

Christmas Tree in Kitchen
Kitchen Christmas Tree
As the holidays approach, people usually spend more time in the kitchen baking and cooking. This tree's mint green and cherry red palette was inspired by old green hobnail glass and kitchen utensils.
Blue & Green Christmas Tree
Decorative glass ornaments were used on the living room tree in blue, green, and gold hues. Presents under the tree were also made to look restrained.
Lots of Lights
The Christmas tree with tiny white lights on every branch seems to have a unique atmosphere. There's nothing more relaxing than spotting a Santa in the living room corner as you sneak downstairs to see him.
How to Maximise Kitchen Space this Christmas
Utilize Your Island
If your island lacks a seating area, it's easy to overlook it as an 'overflow' option when entertaining. But there's no reason it can't be used if you're short on table space - or any other area of worktop for that matter.
Simply order a few cost-efficient bar stools, place a table setting, and you have a new seating area.
Make Smart Storage Decisions.
Have you gone crazy with your holiday food shopping? Are your kitchen cupboards overflowing? Instead of leaving shopping on the work surface, try to find alternative places to store items.
Could you keep your bulk purchase of red wine and fizz in the garage? Or some large chocolate boxes stashed under your bed? This will not only give you more space in the kitchen, but it will also prevent people from stealing supplies before the big day.
Make Use of Light.
Dark spaces appear smaller and less inviting. Lighten the mood, open up the space, and create a cosy festive atmosphere with your lighting. You could use under cabinet lighting, carefully placed lamps, or even twinkly fairy lights - and besides, it is Christmas.

Dangle Decor from the Ceiling
Suspending Christmas decorations above a kitchen table is a unique way to add a festive ambiance to the room if you have the space. Paper honeycombs and stars are popular, but you can go all-out with additional Christmas candle ideas and sparkly and colourful shiny things. A simple method is to use brass hooks, but another option is to hang decorations from a branch.
